Hello guys.
I'm here to ask if there is any way to use the Tool Kit on ubuntu and how I do it.
I have a Mac but I was told it should work with a windows virtual machine which I have I just haven't tested it. U can give it a shot

I was up to do that, but I lost my Windows CD.
not hte gnex tool kit on this forum but you can download the android sdk from gogle and then tell it to download platform-tools so you will have adb and fastboot commands

and learn some about it for a change
As much as all the hard work that's gone into the toolkit is appreciated but I find doing it manually a lot more educational. It can come handy if you need to make changes. Check out my signature for rooting with Linux Ubuntu/Mint.

Does anyone have a complete guide for installing ADB on windows vista? I would really appreciate it.
You have to dl the Android sdk. Then install the java jdk. Once java is on u can run the Android setup. Once u have the sdk on u have to go to options and check force. Then u can see the components available. I chose the 2.1 and usb packs. That's as far as I got last night.

This where you can find the sdk needed and alot of information.

can't help with the drivers issue, but that's windows for you.
as for using adb, yeah - it's like DOS. you can use it to pass individual commands or as an interactive shell.
figured out what i was missing. Install HTC Sync to deal with the ADB drivers on the phone side(http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/HTC-Sync-Download-81096.html)
and then be sure to add the place you unpacked the SDK tools to the system PATH. after that, everything worked flawlessly!
Just got my Galaxy Nexus today. How would I root my GNex with a MacBook Pro?

The same method works on Mac, so long as you've installed ADB and Fastboot. No worries.
It's the same method, download the SDK and have the folder on your desktop. Make sure all the files you need i.e. fastboot, superboot r3, and are in the platform-tools folder of the SDK. You don't need to worry about drivers since its on a mac, coming from windows at first i had no idea about that xD.
Hi!
I recently switched over to ubuntu from Windows and I don't know how to flash boot.IMG with Ubuntu. Anybody can give me a tutorial?
Btw, when I try running an ADB command inside terminal I get a message that tells me that it's not known as a command.

Hey everyone. I just purchased a Asus ZenFone 2 (cheep model) and am attempting to root it/install a custom rom. However I have encountered difficulty with fastboot on my Ubuntu Linux machine. ADB works without any issues but fastboot does not always getting stuck on a endless <waiting for device> and my phone does not appear on the list of connect devices (fastboot devices). However my Nexus 7 (2013) works without any issues. I have tried running fastboot as root and didn't have any success. I was hoping that someone out here would have some idea why one device works but not the other. Thanks to anyone who can provide assistance.

I had the same issue. Tried it on windows (though I hate windows ) and it worked on windows. I am STILL trying to figure out how and why?
I had the same problem on Ubuntu 15.04, and I fixed it by uninstalling the outdated version of fastboot in Ubuntu's repositories and replacing it with the binary from the Android SDK platform tools.
The fastboot protocol may have changed slightly with Lollipop, and Ubuntu's fastboot and ADB packages say they're from 4.2. Remember to run fastboot as root unless you have the udev rules set up. Hope that helps!
yes i had a similar issue on ubuntu with the repo version. I actually got an error message saying i needed a newer version
Thanks. Using the version I got from the internet worked fine. I'm now getting and error about fingerprinting and stuff. Looks uke I'll have to wait for a way to unlock the bootloader on the latest version.
Hi I am having the same issue but when I search, I get a lot of info about updating ADB but nothing on Fastboot. For those that have figured this out, would you mind posting a link?
Thank you!

You will want the Android SDK tools. Here is the download page:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
It's a 300MB download, so it's a bit overkill for what you need, but it is there.
Also, if you need to download it again (update), can use the SDK Manager (included) to select/download "Platform-Tools" (at the very least - if you find yourself emulating Android on your PC, you may want more).

yeah that's what I ended up doing. It's a pain to find it in the huge download but it's kinda your only option.

Hi,
Can anyone please help rooting a brand new ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML using a Mac OSX Yosemite? I am a newbee to Android and want to install Ubuntu using LinuxDeploy.
Thanks in advance !
I don't know how to do it on MacOS so I recommend you to bootcamp to Windows and do everything with your phone

Hey,
Did you figure it out yet? as long as you have the drivers, you basically just run everything through terminal instead of command prompt.
actually its easier on OSX, no need to install any driver, just plug your phone and open terminal.
taken from this thread :
Asus Zenfone 2 | Resources all in one thread
3.1) Rooting Zenfone 2
Method 3 (1 CLICK ROOT TOOL):
Download 1 Click root tool fromMEGA https://mega.co.nz/#!R8k0zACY!xaiNnxyAijsUwJL3l9koo1Iyr-pIjQmwVkVE8A_lv8Y
or from Google Drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B936USMlQhtKbmZLZDE3N1JMazA/view?usp=sharing
Unzip and run root.sh
open terminal, cd to directory or drag the folder to terminal then type
Code:
[B]./root.sh[/B]
basically, every linux method on that thread working on OSX too.
hope it help.
