[Q] does any one know how to set up sdk on ubuntu?

I already have downloaded sdk for linux but cannot find any instructions on how to install that plus correct drivers so that ubuntu recognizes my evo. Any suggestions please?

Click me if you want to install the Android SDK on Ubuntu Linux

I just went thru this yesterday. Need to install the jdk first.
I believe Ubuntu has the USB drivers and will recognize the phone when you connect it. It did for me.

[Q] heimdall root?

Anyone tried rooting via Heimdall yet as opposed to Odin? Hoping for some good news before I try and brick this thing...

It doesn't work. Just follow the guide and you'll be fine.

Bah... one day I will be able to use my linux laptop to do things with my linux phone.
Thanks for the heads-up.

just install VMware or Oracle VM with USB support then you can run windows inside your linux machine

Yeah, I've currently got two instances of win 7, one XP and one server 2003 under Virtual Box on my laptop. Also have a few machines running under KVM on my home server. One of those ought to do the trick. Was just wondering if I could be a purist in this endeavor.

Linux E4GT drivers?

Hey all. I'm a Windows boy but my friend just gave his laptop for free and it's running linux so I'm giving it a shot. I develop apps using eclipse and the computer won't recognize my phone. I'm assuming lack of drivers. I'm having a hell of a time finding the linux drivers for this phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
running linux mint 13 currently

I've never actually had to install any running Ubuntu 12.04/ past ubuntus... its seen in storage mode and USB debugging in adb... I'm assuming they installed automatically... sorry I can't be of more assistance

Google Heimdall
download frontend 1.3.1 and the 1.3.1 binary's (1.3.2 might have phone issues with that update... I know that 1.3.1 works)
there is a tut in the development section.. but just google how to use heimdall in linux.. its pretty easy
I might make an adv tut on here if I get around it..
Terminal command lines are
# heimdall-frontend --factoryfs factoryfs.img
" " --modem modem.bin
" " --kernal zImage
or your can do it all at once
#heimdall-front end --factoryfs factoryfs.img --modem modem.bin --kernal zImage
and it will flash all three at once or just flash what you need.
also you need to be in su on your linux box to do this
*EDIT* I just reread your post and misunderstood...lol... see if the binarys help.. I will look to see.. but from my experiance it should see it with out drivers... IM running Linux Mint Debian Edition.

Make sure you have libusb installed

[Q] ADB/Fastboot only working on Mac OSX

Let me start off with the basics...
Nexus 7 (2013) - Stock Rooted 5.0.2
Variant: flo 16G
HW Version: rev_e
Bootloader Version: FLO-04.04
Tried MTP on/off - Doesn't work
Tried USB Dev on/off - Doesn't work
Tried on Windows 7/8.1 - Doesn't work
Tried on Ubuntu 14.04/14.10/Linux Mint 17/17.1 - Doesn't work
EVERYTHING WORKS on Mac OSX Maveric and Yosemite!!!
MTP and ADB and Fastboot do not work at all. In linux, lsusb shows nothing. In Windows, Device manager shows no changes (also, never plugged it in before this and followed Wug's toolkit howto exactly).
When I plug the device into my girlfriend's MacBook Pro (10.10 Yosemite as well as when she was on Maverics) everything works. On her Mac, ADB works, Fastboot works, and MTP (using the android transfer tool) works flawlessly. This is using the same exact USB cable that I used on all other systems. I tried this on my Linux laptop and a Windows desktop. Triend all USB ports. It seems my tablet will only work with a Mac.
Any ideas??

Does the laptop or desktop recognize the tablet? Is the Android SDK up to date?

I don't use the full SDK. I use android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot which is a cross platform toolset. This works for 2 of my phones, my ouya, and her phone so I know its just the tablet. The 3 phones and the ouya work on the windows desktop and laptop but not my tablet. As soon as I plug the tablet into her Mac, it is detected right away. I really wish I can solve this... I hate taking her MacBook from her every time I want to tinker with things.

Ubuntu / Linux: Flash kdz with linux tools - or - Official tools in virtual box (win)

hey guys...
it sucks so hard.
My setup:
Ubuntu 14.04 x64
Windows 10 in Virtualbox
LG G3 (stock 5.0)
My goal:
Flash latest kdz (marshmallow) with a tool available for linux.
-or-
Update my phone to Marshmallow using LG Mobile Support Tool / LGUP / LG PC Suite in a Windows10-VM on Ubuntu host.
My status:
Linux: Did not find any flashing tool which works with Linux.
VM:
Windows 10 - check.
LG tools - up and running.
But... Neither Windows nor - of course - the different LG tools recognize my phone.
It seems that Ubuntu will correctly recognize the G3 when it's connected as PTP-device.
Same with "adb devices". The celly is only recognized when connected via ptp.
Strange: Though not listed with adb devices I can access my files over mtp...
Unmentionable that the whole bunch of the windows tools seem only to work when device is connected correctly via mtp.
Is really the only way to run this update finding a windows-buddy?
Solutions, anyone? #desperate

"Work-Around":
Today the ota-update was rolled out. Next problem was that my phone is encrypted and the update can only be installed when the phone isn't encrypted. So: Decryption in progress.
But: I'm still interested in a solution for the ones who a working with linux.

I've tried to upgrade an (old) LG D605 using the windows Flash Tool under a VirtualBox VM (running Windows 10) and using the drivers linked in that website (after setting UP VBox to use the phone USB device in the guest), worked as expected.

Try vmware or parallels
