Hi there everyone of the Sony xPeria Z Ultra forum.
I'll release here an Ubuntu touch Vivid Velvet Rom in the few hours.
I can't test it because I'm on android, also I won't test it yet by me because I cannot search for a recovery working for the Ubuntu.
So, I'll release the ROM with the cyanogenmod 11 boot.img
ROM Link:
http://d-h.st/NVOP
With the following adb and fastboot commands You'll need to type this on a Terminal:
Code:
sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
then:
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img (cyanogenmod 11)
sudo fastboot flash system system.img
sudo fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
After this, do this right ahead:
Code:
sudo fastboot reboot
Go to the recovery through the button sequence
Than install the armhf system preinstalled tar.gz file on it.
I hope that's work.
Please reply the issues even the working stuff here on this topic.
Thank You so much
this is Xperia ZL forum... Sure you are right here, cause you wrote Xperia z ultra?
I'll move it. I've noticed now.

hello
After install a many times the adb and fastboot on ubuntu 12.04 with a lot of work to enable them i found on last ubuntu 12.10 a very simple way to do it.
Connect your phone with usb debugging enable to you computer.
Just tape adb on terminal and it ask you to install it than do it of course same for fastboot...
Test with this command if it s work
sudo adb devices
You can now flash boot or recovery in terminal place the boot.img on home folder than tape:
cd
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if you have problem like stuck on "waiting for device" do this:
Create a file named android.rules in /tmp with this followings contents:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
than run theses following commands:
sudo cp /tmp/android.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo chmod 644 /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo chown root. /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo service udev restart
sudo killall adb
disconnect your phone than reconnect, run adb devices*to confirm that now it has permission to access the phone.
With just this everything working ok for me on ubuntu 12.10 with fresh install...and nothing more
I want to thanks the ubuntu team because they work for that...
Sorry for my english

Thanks knew how to get the tools but this fixed my fastboot for me! Worked for my Asus Transformer just had to modify the vender id to match my device with the lsusb command sure it will work for all devices that way.
Wine isn't working for this? Would be perfect

it's because do you need root permissions, use the root user, or add the " sudo " before the commands like : " sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img "
sorry for my english.

i prefer installing them manually so that you know where your dev path is located
no go
I'm on ubuntu 12.04 trying to get my fastboot commands to work from the home dir. and without "sudo ./fastboot" it's fine and works and all but why should "adb" work from anywhere but not "fastboot" I've googled all over the place and have done a ton of stuff which has only netted my to the point of when I do something like "fastboot devices" instead of getting "waiting for device" or "permission denied" I get a cursor blink and then back to command prompt and no desired result.
htc dna plugged in and in fastboot usb.
sdk, adb android linux installed and updated, edited 51 rules and even made a 99 rules in /etc/udev...inputed all the various chmods..
anyone have anything to add?
Recently switched to linux mint.
Can some one tell me the commands for flashing boot.img
I have looked but can't find any info about it.
Cheers

Commands are the same as they are for windows. Use sudo.

The command is the same
Instead, for recovery, is this:
"sudo -s
./fastboot-linux flash recovery recovery.img"

Hi vivid all you need to do is reboot phone to bootloader with cmd adb reboot bootloader,then erase cache with cmd sudo fastboot erase cache ,then flash boot.img with cmd sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img ,or type sudo fastboot flash boot then drag and drop boot.img into command window ,then erase cache again and that's your kernel flashed.
Hey all, I found the most recent TWRP recovery on Goo.im for our A100's. I installed using Ubuntu.
Here's the link: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/a100/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-a100.img
To install, plugin your USB cable to your device, open a terminal window, cd to the directory you downloaded the img file to then:
Code:
sudo -s (then enter your Ubuntu account password)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-a100.img
fastboot reboot
It's working great for me. :laugh: :good:
I usually flash a new ROM for my One X in win7 but I'm sick of restarting computer and logging back into windows everytime I want to do something with my One X. Is there a guide or tutorial or can something let me know how to use fastboot / adb for flashing ROMS. When I try for example; "fastboot flash boot boot.img", it just says unknown command. I'm in the right folder in terminal btw.
try this in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install -y android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
This will install the fastboot and adb commands so you can use them in the terminal.
*For adb to work properly you must be working as root (sudo)

Thanks. I put in what you wrote but...

It worked in 12.10 Did a bit of googling though, this keeps popping up:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools*
Thanks. I just tried
wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r21.1-linux.tgz
tar xzvf android-sdk_r21.1-linux.tgz
cd android-sdk-linux/tools./android sdk
And now I'm downloading sdk tools, etc through the sdk manager, so hopefully that works, if not I'll try your method.
Cheers
This message did pop up though while installing
Stopping ADB server failed (code -1).
Unable to run 'adb': Cannot run program "/home/kris/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb": error=2, No such file or directory.
Starting ADB server failed (code -1).
Starting The adb server should be done as root, otherwise you'll het errors. Fastboot should work without root though.

Am I doing this right?
Tried fastboot with sudo and without, am trying adb with sudo. Or am I putting in the wrong commands?
First (only once): chmod 777 fastboot
(Make it executable)
Tot start:
sudo ./fastboot [command]
I'll try this in the morning. Cheers.

This method works on raring:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

Thankyou! Working perfect now. Haven't tested adb functions though but was mainly after fastboot. Cheers
hey people, I've got a problem as well with the fastboot commands on ubuntu, but a different one. ADB works without fault but in fastboot after a command it keeps saying :waiting for device
Am I missing a driver or something?
oh btw it started happening when I updated from 12.10 to 13.04
any help is welcome!

Great, Thanks!! sudo fastboot command worked
the easiest way is to download the sdk without the extra eclipse package, download the adb/fastboot tools with the SDK manager and then adding that folder in the .bashrc
Hello friends,
I have Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I installed CM 11 on it six months ago using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175 and have been using it without any major problem since then. But I feel sluggishness in its performance so I want to switch back to stock Amazon OS. I had made a backup of stock OS using the method described in above mention thread, i.e.
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/stock-boot.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/stock-system.img" # This will take a few minutes
adb pull /sdcard/boot0block.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-recovery.img
Now I have those four files (bootblock.img, stock-boot.img, stock-recovery.img and stock-system.img) on my HDD.
If I want to go back to stock OS, I would do following steps, and I want to know if that is the proper way to proceed. and is there something I must do during the whole process in order to succeed or must be mindful of?
Plug in your fastboot cable and reboot so that you see the fastboot screen and enter the following commands:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img # This one will take a few minutes
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
or should I follow instructions given here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126
some suggestions or instructions would be of great help. Thank you.
Both serve.
If you use your files you will return to the version that originally had in the tablet. If you use the link, you will return to the above versions (8.1.4, 8.1.3 or 8.1.2).
I do not recommend re-stock. CM11 is faster than any stock.
Yes, I did find CM11 much productive than stock Amazon OS but over time I witnessed deterioration in performance. I am in no way trying to say that it is because of CM,it could have been low hardware of Kindle.
Anyway, I used the backup made by TWRP and restored Kindle to its initial state(i.e. rooted and Google Play installed). At this moment I am on version 8.4.9. I have two questions, what if I install latest OTA? Would I loose TWRP and Root? and eventually ability to install a new ROM again? Or TWRP would be still there after OTA?
After latest OTA 8.5.1, TWRP and root permission is gone and Kindle is back to its original condition.
