I just got my GS3 after my Evo 4G LTE malfunctioned. All the methods I found are for windows or ICS.. is there a way I can accomplish this with Mac or Ubuntu live cd? The heimdall method I did find seems to not work either so im unsure how to proceed. Thanks in advance
Well, if heimdall didn't work, I'd personally recommend you go steal a friend's pc for 5 minutes. You 'could' do it on a linux cd, but you'd have to install the android sdk, drivers, etc, and on linux its a pain, cuz of all the edits, then need wine to run odin. But you could do that method, or use windows in a vm and don't activate, then do it the same way.

Its just less painless than installing everything in a vm and especially with linux. But gave you your options, and no prob man.

Okay, I am going to reformat my computer today and I am thinking about dual booting it with the latest Ubuntu. Would this get me started on the right path to start developing and compiling my own roms and what not? Everything I google seems to be pretty ambiguous and not much help. Thanks in advance...
In my opinion Dual booting with Ubuntu is the way to go. If you are planning to use this kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 be careful since there are reports of it not working on the latest Ubuntu. I tried it on 10.10 and it worked for a bit then stopped when I applied some updates. I think it has something to do with dropping Java.
I run Win7 on my primary, Ubuntu latest on an external drive and I run a Oracle VM Virtualbox with Ubuntu 9.10 which the kitchen runs on well.

Thanks! I am downloading Ubuntu 10.04 as I also read that 10.10 was borked for some reason. Thanks for the kitchen link, I am just trying to get my feet wet here. I am comfortable hacking on the phones and using ADB, this just seemed the next logical step.

i have two dual boot computers with ubuntu 10.10....both have kitchens set up and both work fine. i installed ubuntu on my lappy first just to test it to make sure it worked without messing anything up since all my important stuff is on my desktop. then after that i did it on my desktop, easy as pie and i haven't booted back into windows in over a week. don't know that i'll go back now, few of my programs won't work in ubuntu and i'm having trouble with wine but theres an alternative to almost everything.

I bought a new laptop and it's 64 bit running Windows 7. I'm trying to install the 64 bit USB driver & get it to recognize my phone but it simply won't work.
The following two things keep running and running with the words "installing driver software" after them:
CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM)
S3C6410 Android ADB
I have no idea how to get this to work so any advice is greatly appreciated!
ps - USB debugging is checked in my application settings.
There are lots of people having problems with 64 bit windows nit recognizing the epic. My suggestion is to try.another USB cable. I use my wife's evo cable and it works fine for me. Good luck man just keep trying. Try different ports, cables and also check.to.make sure the USB slot is clear from any obstructions.

When you ran the setup for the driver, did you run it as administrator?
Right click on setup.exe and select that option from the menu.
Sorry you're having such a bad time, that has got to be mega-frustrating.
I've read also, that some people run the 32 bit drivers on win 7 64bit and they report that they work for them just fine.
hey man i feel your pain. I have been having the same exact problems as you. I also have tried the 64 bit/32bit drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling them, everything i can think of or have been told to do to no avail. It use to work fine until i got the first froyo update eb13 and ever since its been like this. My laptop keeps telling me to replace my device.
I did get on a computer at work with win XP and i plugged my phone into it and the device installed but im not sure about the drivers. Im limited to what i can do at work. So maybe it has something to do with windows 7 cause my laptop is brand new as most people having this problem are to.
Did the drivers change after the EC05 update. Neither of my computers will recognize my phone now after I updated the modem. I even tried reinstalling the links you have in this post and updating drivers and still a no go.
I just had this problem recently. It wasn't the drivers - instead, it was the USB port I was using. If you're on a desktop, try a usb port on the back of the pc. If you're on a laptop, give all the usb ports a go.

I am on a laptop and i have repeatedly try all usb ports and still a no go. It really seems like something changed after EB13 cause i never had a problem before.

Nope; I have a win7 ultimate 32 laptop and a win 7 ultimate 64 desktop. Both see my phone just fine. Same drivers from when I first rooted after xmas to DK28 from 2.1.
I have heard of people having an issue with something bent on the phone's usb connector, it stops from getting full connection.
I'm having the same issue, but I can connect when I uncheck USB debugging. With it checked, it won't connect. I'm trying to root with 2.5.5...

Hi
recently, i decided it was time to wipe my computer clean and do a fresh install (you know, its like flashing roms, sometimes fresh is better) so i reinstall win 7 ultimate x64 and for the life of me, i cannot get adb to recognize my g2 with cm7 rc1... ive searched through several threads on installing the proper drivers, installed the most recent version of htc sync, latest android sdk, and nothing... its not such a big deal, but i would like to flash to the final of cm 7, but i dont like a lot of the fluff in cm7 (adw, etc) and find it easier to remove and change things around through adb.
thanks in advance
Did you use the installer to install the android sdk? I had issues as well with that one. Removed it and just extracted the .zip package, after that it worked fine.
This REALLY is a tricky one. In the past I've had luck installing both the HTC sync software, and PDANet. Between those two all the drivers seem to work for me in Win 7 64bit.
Why not just use a file manager like 7zip to remove/add the things you want prior to flashing. Or do you just like doing things the hard way?

Unless it's specifically a problem with Ultimate, there's no reason it won't work. I run Win 7 Home Premium x64 at home and the steps I said work for me.
I run 7 ultimate 64bit and adb works fine for me.
I used the pdanet drivers.
Flash with rom manager and then install zip from card..the adwmod zip that is..take it out for you

I have to agree with everyone else on this. I'm running Windoze 7 X64 and adb works just fine. I also have Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and Sabayon 64bit on my HDD (yay multiboot!) and neither of them have issues either.

i use winrar to change files around before i flash it, but lately ive been having problems with the edited rom (i.e. install fails, boot looping even after a data/cache wipe, etc) i just wanted to try a different route this go around
You could try another usb cord, and make sure everything is installed under admin,and the way I got my drivers I edit the driver file and added the info for G2 (saw it in tmobile forum) and also I have no problem with win 7 x64 aswell... and I agree I don't like all the extra puff and bluff oin cm7
well, i havent been able to get a wired adb to connect, but i have gotten it to work with wirelessadb and i am now rockin a modified cm 7 final

Why in earth would you ever use Odin in Linux, or even attempt too. That is just insanely silly, Google a tool called Heimdal. It is a Samsung flashing utility for Windows, Mac and Linux. Works perfectly in Linux without any additional configuration ( for 99% of Samsung devices.). Really simple to use on the command line and has a GUI front-end also. Trust me, after using Heimdal you will never use Odin again.
thanks forgot about heimdall

Hiya everyone. So; Normally I do my rooting and whatnot on my windoze XP Hard drive, using ODIN. However; for some reason my Windoze is suddenly having some issues with USB (I'm working on resolving it; not why I'm posting.) so I'm left with my Linux HDD (Oh noes! Like I'm really complaining I can't use windoze...lol...). However that being said, I have no idea how to go about doing this on Linux. I run OpenSUSE 12.3 32bit.
I'm not a Linux Poweruser, still learning, but I'm not entirely useless with it either; I know how to do basic program compiling (./configure, make, make install, etc); Am somewhat comfortable in Terminal / CLI, and have a live USB handy incase it breaks
I have done a bit of research and know that Heimdall is the way to go with Linux, however I've also read that Heimdall is not compatible with the T-Mobile S2? Does Kodoo fall into that incompatibility as well, since they can flash the same ROM's?
If it IS possible to root the Kodoo Galaxy s2x t-989D using Linux; can someone either point me to a detailed link explanation of the process, or post here and walk me through this? Assume I know nothing; to save questions. I'd rather have too much information and do it with ease than have not enough and have my woman castrate me for bricking her Phone, and then have to give her my S3 ;p
Thanks! :good:

OK your going to need the program heimdall, and heimdall frontend, I assume u know ur way around a CLI if I've been using Linux so what ur going to need to do is flash the recovery, put phone in download mode, connect to PC, DL twrp2.6.0.4 img file and extract it to ur working folder, open heimdall and run command heimdall-flash -recovery recovery.img cache.img, that'll flash the recovery to the phone, from there its just booting into recovery and flashing a ROM(if u want a custom ROM) or rebooting system from recovery, it will ask if u want to install superuser access, tap install and ur good.. Hope that helps
