any help is appreciated

Will this work on Ubuntu linux as well?
Great job, thanks man! Cant make it much easier than that!
quiiiick problem
So i just used this method for root, everything went...ok?
now that my phone is rebooted, i've got no cellular connection. No data, no calls. Wifi works fine. nothing but a slashed circle in place of signal.
What have i managed to do with something this simple?

As stated in the OP this is an FYI. I would suggest either commenting on the YTube vid or asking this question in Q&A.
This works great. Simplest root ever!
Y dis not in ur index so I cn unstk?
So i attempted the mac root method found on the general forum, had a couple flags come up in the terminal while rooting and now I have no cellular reception.
AT&T SGS3. Only a slashed circle in place of cellular bars. Here's the terminal log:

What did i do? how do i fix it?
I am by no means a mac user but looking at your terminal output it appears the file you were trying to flash was incomplete, or was disconnected before the flash was completed....hence the 'unexpected end of file' error. I would suggest redownloading whatever you used and run it again. Worst case scenario you can always flash back to stock using whatever the preferred method on mac is, not being a mac user i am at a total loss what this might be so maybe some of the other mac users can lend a hand in that department.
Can anybody tell me how I can do a chmod on multiple files of the same type? For example, I had this line in my updater-script:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "chmod", "0660", "/data/data/*/*.xml");
This script will execute just fine, but the files did not have 0660 permissions. Then I tried:
run_program("/system/xbin/busybox", "chmod", "0660", "/data/data/*/*.xml");
I copied recovery.log to /sdcard/(using recovery's report error) and I read the log. I searched for the line(s) related to that problematic line in the updater-script and this is what it says:
run_program: child exited with status 1
about to run program [sbin/busybox] with 4 args
chmod: /data/data/*/*.xml: No such file or directory
Both scripts(before and after I edited it) gave similar errors.
Can anybody tell me what I did wrong/ what is the correct way to do it? Thanks a lot. I hope I don't have to chmod all the files manually.
So I have done all the steps to installing Backtrack 5 on my SM-T210 correctly, but when i try to boot it up using "bootbt" i get an error like this:

This thread covers installing backtrack on the Xoom tablet. Also implies it can be installed on other devices. Last activity in the thread was in 2012 but there still may be some helpful information.
