[Q] Flashing recovery without Odin - Mac OSX

Hi, I'm working on rooting and setting up my Epic Touch, and I want to put Clockworkmod Recovery on it, but I don't have Odin because I have a Mac. Is there any way I can do this? Thanks a lot!

Its possible. You only need adb (and java) working to root and flash a custom recovery... I dont have the commands available right now but if you pick apart some of the existing threads, im sure you could figure it out... ;-)

[PROGRAM] Heimdall - Open-Source Cross-Platform Flashing Suite

Use Heimdall. It's an open source tool that works just like Odin. Check the development forum how-tos to learn more about it.

[Q] Flash firmwares in linux?

Hi all
Since I'm not able to use odin on my Win XP, i was wondering if it's possible to flash stock roms for our Galaxy W on linux, Ubuntu in my case. But searching on web i only find Heimdall, a tool for flashing roms of Galaxy S series, and it's not easy like odin...
Is there a tool we can use on linux to flash firmwares for our phone?
And also, is it possible to use adb for flash stock roms? How?
It can be usefull...
Thanks for any advise

Bagux if you have found an answer can you please share it with us?
i also heard and tried to use Heimdall, too. But i couldn't find a place to use ops files. i need to flash my radio to a newer one. as i remember from my GT-i7500 experience there was a fastboot experience which we were using through adb.

[Q] what is the ubuntu alternative of flashing a ROM with Odin under Windows?

I currently only have Ubuntu on my laptop. let's say the official android 4.3 by samsung, the final version, gets released. how do I flash it in ubuntu? (without using windows, wine would be ok if it worked)

Ubodin?

[Q] Changing SE Linux status

Hello to all,
I'm trying to install Kali Linux on my galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition, but because SE Linux status is set to Enforcing in KitKat (4.4.2),
it is not possible to run Kali on my device. I've tried SELinuxChanger but it didn't work.
is there any other solution to change SE linux status?
thanx

Have you rooted your device? If yes, did you replace the stock recovery with the Kali Linux recovery? If yes, did you place the Kali Linux image onto the internal SD? If you did all three of these steps, booting into recovery should start Kali.

Dear friends ... is it possible to do that ?

[Q] Root KDZ image

Hi guys,
I just want to ask if somebody tried to create a pre-rooted kdz to be flashed with the flash tool 2014?
I read in the G2 forums, that it should be possible by performing the following steps:
extract 'original' KDZ-file and DZ-files
hex-edit bin files
repack the KDZ file
With this method and chainfire's SuperSU beta it should be able to create pre-rooted Lolipop KDZ files, isn't it?
Installing TWRP on Lolipop should work or even creating a KDZ with TWRP or CWM included.
Unfortunately, I fail hex-editing the .bin - is there anybody that can perform this step?
There are some tutorials in the LG G2 or L9 forums here on xda.

Its easier to flash prerooted rom then this.

Not if you are already on stock Lolipop (I am on 20E).
I would now need to downgrade to 10L, root, bump & install new ROM.
And if you want to stay stock but rooted, you can use the 'official' way with the LG Flash Tool.

Doesn't bootloader check KDZ's signature before flashing it?..
About editing .bin files... System.bin is only an ext2 image, mounting and editing it is trivial. The problem is repacking everything to .dz + dll and finally to .kdz,

Just that could be a solution for rooting stock lollipop lg g3. Like: download kdz by well known imei link (http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=), root it, flash without wiping. But scince .dz + dll is a problem then probably there will be some another rooting method possible sooner... (Downgrading is not a solution for 2 reasons: requires wipe i think, imagine a new model/revision with lollipop preinstalled by default).

HI, did u downgrade or just got any flashable file for prerooted lollipop ?
