If you want a chroot where you can run some command line tools which are
not installed on the phone by default, you can simply download a tarball
of an armhf preinstalled image, and unpack it under ~/debian-chroot or
similar, then simply run "sudo chroot ." in that directory.

You may have problems running chroot from within the Terminal app
though, as it seems to be blocked from executing the shell in the chroot
for some reason. It works perfectly fine over phablet-shell though.
