I managed to successfully compile the adb and fastboot binaries for PowerPC by hacking the Android SDK a little bit. If you use a PowerPC Mac and would like to use it for debugging/etc Android device, you may find these interesting. (The apps were compiled under Leopard, I have no clue if they will also run on Tiger or not)
Word of warning: I don't take any responsibility if any of these apps kill your phone or the neighbors. You have been warned.
Known bugs: serial numbers are shown incorrectly in both apps, also you should run them from iTerm as they messed up the standard Terminal.app for me once.
Tested and working features (on a PowerBook 12" 1.5Ghz and an iBook G4):
adb:
shell
logcat
reboot
bugreport
push
pull
fastboot:
reboot
reboot-bootloader
flash (radio|hboot)
erase (system|boot)
acp:
Didn't test this one, I never used it, but seems like working.
Since I don't have any other machine ATM, I couldn't test the flash function yet, I'm planning to do that soon. Anybody curious enough to test, please reply with your results, so I can update the list. As always, donations are welcome
Just tested on my ibook g4!
It works fine! Thank You very much!
EDIT:
I used it to flash the new bootloader (1.33.013d) and the new radio (2.22.28.25_S) via fastboot.
Commands tested:
fastboot flash radio RADIO-2.22.28.25.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot reboot
Glad to hear that, I'll update the first post in a few minutes. Can you confirm the bug with the serial numbers or was it working for you?

@Z0l, could you post a patch for the source?
I tried briefly to do exactly what you've managed to do, but no point in reinventing the wheel
Actually there is no patch What you should do is to checkout the froyo sdk with repo (this is important, because gingerbread requires java6, which is a bit problematic on ppc), copy the build/core/combo/HOST_darwin-x86.mk to HOST_darwin-ppc.mk, then issue the "make adb" and "make fastboot" from the top of the source. I think I received some warnings, but at the end the binaries were at out/host/darwin-ppc/bin. So, the actual commands are:
repo init -u git://git.android-x86.org/manifest.git -b froyo
repo sync
cp build/core/combo/HOST_darwin-x86.mk build/core/combo/HOST_darwin-ppc.mk
make adb
make fastboot

Hope that helps. Also, make sure you do the compile on a case-sensitive filesystem (I created a case-sensitive dmg for that)
Does this still work with Gingerbread and ICS devices like the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks for answering in advance.

I'd say yes because I see no reason for them not to work. Although both adb and fastboot received updates, the fundamentals are the same.
OK, so I'll try them but I won't be able to use the backup feature, will I?

Could you elaborate a bit what you mean under backup? All the adb and fastboot commands worked when I tested them.
With backup I mean "$ ./adb backup".
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
These binaries were compiled long before ICS existed (adb backup is available since ICS), so I don't think it'll work. You can try compiling a new version yourself, unfortunately I no longer have access to a PPC dev environment.
That's why I've asked.
Unfortunately I'm too dumb to compile it by myself

Hi there,
Sorry to bump such an old topic! But I think I have a (very?????) special case. Is it possible to compile the newer ICS Binaries..... for iBook G3 on 10.4.11?
I tried running these and I got the dreaded "Incompatible CPU subtype" so I assume they're for G4 and up. Is there a way this could be changed?

Sorry for the late reply, you cannot compile anything newer than GB on powerpc. Even GB needed the above trick, but since ICS requires a Java that never existed for powerpc, I think its impossible.

Question to those who have updating their Dream from Rogers, was it at all slow or where their noticeable improvements?
I have one at my disposal but running stock OS (1.5/1.6 i assume). Anyone have a nice and easy to follow tutorial to update this phone without hassles? Also does updating android OS require rooting the device?
Thanks in advance.

Follow instructions. This seems to me to be the easiest guide. Be careful of the Rogers/T-Mobile thing. Seems there are different radio's and such. I don't know anything about Rogers. As far as Roms, I use HTCclay's Superfly TCBY. Lot of memory left on phone. Just try a few to see which you like. Good Luck.
By the way, you do have to be rooted. The guide will walk you through it.

I would say to try the ROM in my sig (the stock ROM)
works for g1 and 32B Magic
he is going to need the EBI1 kernel to go with the rom.
Ok I am reviving this thread because I want to make sure I am following the right steps in doing so. Don't want to mess this up.
Successfully rooted the phone following video I found in the second post of this thread. Can't link you to it because I am still a new member =S! I checked the radio version of the phone and it is 3.22.20.17. Which ROM is recommended?As I said, I just want to get rid of this terrible stock rom from rogers and put froyo (which in turn also allows me to get touch screen keyboard activated) on here.
Thanks in advance.
With that radio you will need to flash ebi1 kernels after you flash the roms.
I completely forgot that Rogers blocked the virtual keyboard with their firmware. That's such bull****.

Now you have more information in the link in your sig. Question: Can you re up the RS link you have there? Also, rooting the phone just means that you have the app called Superuser?
Now I get quite lost the moment you start explaining the options HTC Dream users have. Is there a recommended ROM to download for this phone considering its specs?

Yes it is sad that rogers has done this. Do whatever they can to screw the consumers over. Just found out it is 1.5.
Any help on this?
Ok still lost on trying to do this and want to follow the set up from cyanogen but its really complicated. I don't want to make a backup of contacts and stuff because it wasn't originally my phone.
Do I still need the amon_ra's recovery?

Think of what you need to do:
1) Obtain root access so that you can flash a new recovery
2) Replace recovery so that you can flash new SPL
3) Flash new SPL so that you can be more compatible with roms / kernels
4) Flash a new rom (IE/ Cyanogenmod 6), and a compatible EBI1 kernel (for instance, Brian Crook's ones on the Cyanogenmod website)
Without getting into huge detail, you do it in this order to prevent your device from being unable to boot / recover.
You can flash the new RADIO and SPL from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=831139
Along with that, you use the appropriate supported +14MB EBI0 kernel.
More RAM is good
Well that makes sense.
Now I am following the Cyanogen wiki link (can't post there) and it says to launch flash rec but I can't understand from where I have to do this. Anyone care to help? And how does the Andriod SDK help?

Andriod sdk has the adb component needed to initiate commands to your device from your computer. then you need the android windows usb drivers.after installing sdk to see if you have connection with your device, open console on your computer start>run>type cmd and hit enter at the prompt type adb you should get several lines back kind of an options menu. at next prompt type adb devices. if your device is recognized you will get back:
device XXXXXXXX (this will be an actual number).
if you dont get any devices back with your phone attached to usb then you probably need the driver. just google it.
as for flashrec I dont believe I used this. I used exploid to gain root and install 1.33.2005 spl
Where do I get the android driver for windows (7 64bit specifically)? Adb command aint working in my cmd.
So what do I do about flashrec? Man updating this thing is driving me nuts. So many unexpected curves.
I also have Windows 7 64bit and I didn't need a driver it just works for me. Please tell us exactly what you are typing in and what output you are getting. You could also try the instruction to install the usb driver here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
What is your build number in settings? If it is 1.89.631.1 you are following the wrong guide. (see the top of that guide)

When I type in ADB command it just states that the command is not recognized (even when SDK is open).
Build number 1.85.631.5.
Now when I turn on phone it accepts it after I plug it into computer. I can mount sd card to copy files without issue.

Does the zip file for the android SDK make a difference if I can't install it through the .exe? It keeps saying that it doesnt detect the Java SDK when I try to install.
Yes, you can use the .zip. Extract it, run setup.exe, install Platform-tools, cd to the platform-tools directory then you can use adb. Fastboot is in the tools directory. That was just changed in the 2.3 sdk update so I don't know if the guide has been updated yet.

The only .exe file in the zip is the SDK Manager which isnt exactly an install.
Is there a way that i can reinstall the swap directly from my xt720 without have to hook to my computer or be at home? If so would someone please be kind enough to share this info with me.
Nope. Because of Motorola's locked bootloader, we have to use fastboot over USB.

Cant see how you could, knowing you need Android SDK and fastboot to boot the kernel. So I guess no.
can i do fastboot from a mac or linux emulator? cos my external hdd just crashed and i have my windows VM on it which i use for rsdlite.
Yes you can.
All you need is kernel: http://xt720.ru/Files/Kernel/boot2.img
And fastboot tool: http://xt720.ru/Files/Tools/fastboot
Don't forget chmod +x to fastboot and run it as root(or use sudo)

am i supposed to adb reboot into bootloader and from there reboot the phone into fastboot? what am i supposed to type on a mac? because you need the boot.img to be in a specific directory on windows, but im not sure about doing it on mac. should i put the boot2.img into the android sdk too? sorry for asking so many questions, but i dont wanna risk bricking or anything. thanks!
edit: after i watched reverendkjr's vid again i decided to try and i put the boot into platform-tools and from there i rebooted into bootloader, and then typed fastboot boot boot2.img and now my phone is on [email protected] #7
but just curious, what was the chmod + x for?
Allow to launch fastboot binary.
I'm on XDA-SPECIAL-HELLMONGER-RC2. when I run - chmod 777 /system/etc/unit.d/00_swapon it fails and says"Read only file". And swap is not enabled by fastboot.. wondering what am i doing wrong?

Brian! Welcome! There's a thread about your ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206018
You may need to post 10 times before you can reply there though. So, how's the weather?
which one should i use for cm6.3 rc3? havent fastbooted for a long time. ive tried boot2 but when i fastboot, setcpu doesnt show any swap. in my notifications, android keeps "checking sd card for errors". any help?
For now, is there any way to fastboot fjfalcon's kernel without using any PC?
I've heard something about hot reboot that reboots the phone but keeping the fjfalcon's kernel.
Thanks for the info.

Alos agree great video and helped me do root in no time at all! However, like you I am unable to get the adb part of the video working. I followed your other video and written instructions to the "t", and I only got as far as..
"adb is not recognized as an internal or external command"
I got the Java JDK to install fine as well as the SDK with all the required installs you said were needed for it to work. I left out all others as I'm not really too familiar with adb is it is. I changed the path, and named folders and files exactly as you did in your video. However I could never get the cmd to show adb devices.
I know the original post stated that we should know how to use it before we try this, but after trying to do research on this for the past 4 hours last night.. I concluded I have no idea what I am doing wrong/nor how to do it properly apparently.
If anyone would be able to possibly give me some assistance that would be great .

That would be my guess. Put it in USB Debug mode, and plug the phone in, I think it auto-installs the ADB drivers.

Yes, usb debugging was on when I tried to do this. I usually always just leave it on honestly.
I guess I should have been more clear about where I was at, but yes i did the
cd platform-tools .. enter.. then adb.exe.. and thats when I got the 'adb' is not an internal or external command. I dont know where I messed up along the way... . I feel pretty confident I did everything correctly.
However there was one difference i did notice. On the path stated in the guide it says system32 something then you list the path to platform tools and whatnot.... but mine had something /windowspowershell/ or something like that.
I went back to the start and deleted my drivers and reinstalled them but deleted the jdk and sdk for the time being.. Maybe ill try again soon if I can figure it out better.
I believe this will help a lot of you. Thanks goes to Adrynalyne....

However there was one difference i did notice. On the path stated in the guide it says system32 something then you list the path to platform tools and whatnot.... but mine had something /windowspowershell/ or something like that.
I went back to the start and deleted my drivers and reinstalled them but deleted the jdk and sdk for the time being.. Maybe ill try again soon if I can figure it out better.

It sounds like you're not moving to the right directory. Check to see where your adb file is, on the new SDK it's in platform-tools but if you downloaded ADB from a long time ago, it's in another folder (I think tools, but it's been a while).
What I would do is navigate to your adb file from "my computer". At the top, under address, it will show you the path you need to type. For instance, for me, I open my computer, C: drive, Android folder, then platform-tools. So my path would be:
Code:
cd C:\Android\platform-tools
Everyone's path is different depending on where you put your files.
Hello, just making sure I haven't missed a step or process somewhere. I have the ota stock build of jellybean 4.1.1 on my Verizon galaxy s3.
I've looked through several methods, from different websites, and it will either be for Windows only, or the international s3 or for ics.
So no CASUAL, or anything else that I saw.
Heimdall apparently does not work on the US s3's.
I even tried to root with Odin on Windows, but I had some problems with Odin (when it says it was done, apparently it wasn't done, and I could not get clockwork mod to flash)
I would try it again, but it wasn't on my pc, but a friend's, so it is a pain to schedule a time to get over there. I would much prefer to have all the tools on my person, etc. It helps me to understand the process better.
Also, I heard about cfautoroot, however, I didn't get a chance to fully investigate that method. Any thoughts?
So, am I correct?
Any way to use terminal and adb?
Please let me know if I am wrong, I would love to be!

heimdall does actually work
this should help you: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d2vzw#Flash_alternate_bootloader_and_custom_recovery
no promises on the mac thing, i compiled that in a hacky osx vm, but i haven't heard of any problems, make sure to copy the lib
EDIT: ah crap, just realized utkanos didn't post the mac heimdall there, here's the one i compiled: http://invisiblek.org/heimdall_v1.4rc1_mac.zip
good luck, let me know if it works please

Hello, thank you! So, this is the new version of Heimdall that I read about that should fix the incompatibility in 1.3.2?
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/heimdall-the-bringer-of-illumiation-enters-a-new-age/
And you have used it, but only on emulated ios? Question...What could happen to my phone?

yes, its 1.4rc1 which supports the sgs3
first thing i'd recommend doing is:
Code:
heimdall print-pit
it's gonna print out your partition table, then reboot your phone, but at least you know you are talking to the phone properly
after that you should have no problem flashing via the rest of the instructions on the cm wiki there
hey, it did this after i double clicked the Heimdall exec file.

This is what happened, again. So i can't type the heimdall Print-pit command that you suggested.
any ideas about how to proceed?
Adam Outler and others are working on getting heimdall as an installer package for osx, and updating Casual we just have to wait.

REALLY!? that's totally awesome.
that's great. any progress? like in a week, a month, 2 months, etc?
if i can't get Heimdall working on my own, which I probably can't, i'll just be patient then.
SO... i heard that Casual might work for the Galaxy sIII again?

I have made a program to display the percentage of your phone on your computer. Requirements:
Computer that can run bash
USB-to-phone cable
ADB enabled on phone
Has been tested on the following:
LG P716 Jelly bean stock- One Works the other doesn't
LG P716 KitKat - Works
LG P500 with CM11 and rooted- Works
Samsung S3 stock - Doesn't work
Your help is greatly appreciated to porting it to Windows/Mac and adding new devices.

Don't get me wrong but do you really have a use for it or is it just about improving your development skills ?

I do. If I plug my phone in, and then turn on the display to see how far it has charged, the battery percentage is DROPPING! So, I created this. If you want faster charging than your USB port, use ADB over WiFi. But this did help me hone my skills.

Pretty cool for that specific purpose I just downloaded the zip and was just about starting my laptop to test it BUT the archive is damaged and i can't extract it May you please check the archive's integrity and upload it again?!
Sure!

Did that! Just make sure you can run bash. Your computer'll need linux or mac os x (not sure about mac)
If it helps, please press thanks.

Manjaro Linux should be fine for it

Open the terminal, and its most likely your using bash. Bourne-Again SHell.
Just wondering, what is the orange "OP" rectangle next to "Junior Member", to the left of my post?

OP = overpowered or may be "Original Poster"
Is it possible that your tool only runs on 32Bit systems? I use 64Bit OS with multilib and no chance to make it fly / run or whatever you like

Yes it is built for 32bit systems but you should be able to run it on 64 bit as well. You need to unzip everything of course and make adb and dialog (in the same folder as the script) executable. The command is chmod +x adb && chmod +x dialog
To change it to 64-bit, you'll need to replace the adb and dialog files with the 64-bit versions.
You might need ia32-libs or somthing like that.
Also, OP I think it overpowering. You shall port it to Windows. You shall thank me. LOL, don't have to do it.

Im familiar with chmod Commandline version works well (see signature for phone's setups) while the guy version causes a never ending error output:
libgtk-3.so.0 shared libraries can't be found . All files are present in my Linux so I really have no clue, why i can't open it.

Are you using GNOME? You might need to install libgtk. But, like the readme file says, this is bit is still alpha (it's more beta than beta.. If that makes sense).
But if it helped, please press the " Thanks" button

It's pretty strange that it used "can't" instead of "cannot". Maybe try using gnome. I dunno, it works on mine.
I'm moving this to a DevDB now.
