[Q] Rooting with linux on a virtual machine?

Hi guys,
I was thinking to bypass the many problems reported here about using unrevoked on a winXP OS by rooting my desire through a ubuntu virtual machine (WmWare).
Can it be done? would I make my life easier or is it better to just risk it with winXP?
Thanks
Luca

Why not use the livecd?

What's that? Sorry mercianary, but I'm an absolute n00b (got the phone 3 weeks ago and I'm still trying to learn.

a live cd lets you boot into an embedded linux os, and run it directly off the cd, unbuntu do the most popular one look here

Thanks M! I will try that for sure!

You need to activate USB-debugging in your phone and then install android SDK.

[Q] Rooting Evo on mac

I have been looking through all the forums. I just got my Evo back the charging port broke and now I want to root my new Evo. Problem is that I only have a Mac and none of the methods work for the Mac I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Unrevoked 3 doesn't run on it... So what are my options. I have been fooling around with it for the last couple hours.

Unrevoked does work on macs. When you went to the page, did you download the mac os version?
Edit: http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ On the second line on the right...download for mac os

where did you read that? i rooted back in 11/10 with that os.
easiest full root method out.
just try it.

yea, ive rooted 3 evos on my mac. easier than windows.
oh, Unrevoked.

Thanks, however when I try to open Unrevoked on my Mac it says.
"You Cannot use this version of the application Reflash with this version of Mac OS X."

Apparently only the Snow Leopard version for OS X is supported for mac. Now to the alternative method.

Scratch this post...in development.

What is the alternative method? I can't use most root methods because they need HTC Sync.

edit: just saw something about alternatives.

It requires Windows.
You Will Need:
A windows machine
HTC Sync that can be found on Sprint's website. HTC Sync 2.0.35.exe

Or more money. Not really looking to upgrade my OS anytime soon.

That's why I don't use macs...http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/17766-how-full-root-evo-4g-mac.html You'll have to register to get the link downloads, but that seems to be your best option.

Just upgrade your OS. ****, bootleg it then buy Lion OS when it cones out.

[Q] Are there any tutorials for rooting gs3 with windows xp?

Yea, I know my windows version on my pc is old, but are there any videos or anything using the tool kit with windows xp?

Oh ok. After reading about rooting our phone, Im confused about the whole "kies" thing. There is a stock "kies" app that came installed with my phone. So does that mean I have to go through that whole driver issue? Can someone explain this process a little further if so?

Your probably thinking of Samsung Kies for the computer. Windows version does not matter.
You do not need Kies if your going to root just download and install the ones they tell you in the post your reading.

Rooting galaxy s4 - tmobile - pc does not read phone! Cant root!

Dear wonderful community.
Yesterday my htc one was lost..sad. So i went and purchased a brand new t-mobile samsung galaxy s4 (m919).
I went home and wished to root it. Simple process. Just one big problem. My pc did not want to recognize my phone.
Ok. So i figured let me go to the website and download latest drivers. Nope! Didnt work. Ok, let me try the kies method. Nope! Didnt work either. There is literally nothing that is going in my favor at the moment. I tried my friends galaxy s2, hey what do you know, easily recognized. Tried my s4 again. Nope! Absolutely refuses to be recognized. So here we are at work. Tried on my work pc. Guess what? Nope again!
Somebody please please please help me!
And again im sorry if this is a repost topic, if so please just point me in the right direction! Thank you ahead of time!

That should run Odin okay...
Are you using Odin to try and root it? That's the easy way to go.
I used XP and didn't need to install any drivers.

Try it and see. I bet it will work.
My guess is that you are using an older version of abd, which does not support android 4.2.2, which is why your s2 works fine.

Have you turned on the developer options? Have to do that before it will be recognized.

Try uninstalling the drivers with your phone unplugged, reboot, reinstall drivers, reboot again, then plug your phone in again.

Ya it's fine... Just go over all the step s again to make sure you did everything.

I would ask in the rumrunners s-off thread in original dev. but for me I needed to make a linux live USB and boot from there to get mine to work.
Good luck!

I had troubles getting mine to work the first time, I had to make sure I had all anti-virus and firewall programs turned off. That solved it for me. It ended up taking about 4 Pours to get the exploit to take.

Humm.. I'm no expert on it since this was my first time doing anything like it. But I would just double check everything like the simple settings you may have over looked like UBS Debugging, developer mode, or even that fast boot setting. And did you download the right files for your firmware version?

I was stuck like this for hours and couldnt figure out why. I followed all the directions.
to fix I uninstalled my anti virus and ran it again and it worked.
try to post questions in the QnA forum.
If you still have issues check out the IRC in the OP of that thread.

Turn off your firewall and antivirus and rerun rumrunner. Issue should be resolved.
