Does anyone know if the ubuntu kit and rootfs files that lilstevie posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141 will be hosted anywhere else. His site that the links refer to appears to be down. Super excited to try this, but can't without the riles. Thanks.
same here. too bad he insisted to host the files only on that site.
Just messaged lilstevie on IRC about this.....
Update: lilstevie had a HDD meltdown and says hopefully in a few hours he will be back up but no guaratees
Thanks!!
Excellent. Thanks for the heads up. I need to get my ass back on IRC.
its back up
Back down again
It's down again... can't get a download anywhere
I am in the process of uploading this onto my online storage. Once it's done uploading, I will link for you guys to download.
Here is an alternate download source for latest version as of 10/03/11:
Download archive
It`s multiupload so stable and maybe quicker too...

Hi,
Complete newbie to this android / flashing thing, the plan is to:
1. Buy a Samsung i5500,
2. Flash on that awesome new ROM.
Problem: Odin seems to only exist as mediafire / megaupload download, for windows. Downloading and executing an exe file from an unknown from one of those links is against every moral fibre of my being... it's what I keep telling people to stop doing... So how do you guys do it?
Many thanks.
Some newb
It's not illegal so what's stopping you from doing it?
The only links I've seen are off some dodgy megaupload link... how would I know it's not full of rootkits and things that will turn my computer into a botnet that DOSes Iranian power plants or w/e....
If the mediafire link is posted on a thread in XDA you can be pretty certain it's legitimate.
Since I can't post in the developers section, and I am new. I have done the flash compatibility through notepad, and so far all sites have worked. The only site I cannot use flash on is "icanhazchat.com". I am not sure why, and I understand there might be some external link that leads to another flash source but I can't find that link. So if anyone has the time to help me find that link compatibility to have Surface RT work on this site that would be most grateful.
Thanks!
So last night, i was hoping to learn some linux and i was trying to install it on my android device. I also switched to linux on my home pc and i tried using odin with wine with no luck and don't really see a point in trading os's again just to fix my phone right now, heh. also i tried using heimdall but it was slightly confusing and every time i tried uploading a img or tar.gz it would say firmware.xml is missing from the package. Uhm i also tried installing it from TWRP and get the error failed to map file 'external_sd/123.zip' error installing zip file '/external_sd/123.zip'. also i think i need to install the pit considering everything i think i've been messing with it for about 12 hours and figured it was time to ask for a little bit of help? i'm slightly confused on what to do in this situation if anybody has some knowledge to share. thank you
edit: i got a os to load; but now it just freezes the loading screen and reboots back to the beginning. also the phone is saving files on like a medium drive.. like i can see the sd drive, and the physical storage but for some reason the phone is saving files on "/".
edit: i got heimdall working but everytime i try to load a tar.gz into it it says Firmware.xml is missing
edit: well i found literature on it and about it, if anybody could help me though? i can't find the bin files for my phone?? github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/blob/86b7be8329fc5e14e016968b6b1bf22a6ef821d1/Linux/README
edit: have been working on this for a good bit of time now. i'm very confused at the moment, i don't understand if i need all those bin files meaning i saw videos and they where only running 3 of them, not that i can find those files but still /shrug anybody?
go into twrp, advanced, file manager, internal storage, select the android folder, hit the checkmark once youre in it, select delete, swipe to confirm. Then go up a level until you see the external storage and do the same process with the android folder on the external storage, wipe caches and reboot

also, dont flash a pit file unless your partition table is messed up. its not recommended nor necessary. if all else fails, you can get the stock OK4 tar.md5 file from sammobile.com/firmwares and flash it in odin. not sure why youre using heimdall in linux as there isnt really an advantage to do so. The only real advantage in linux is the terminal support. (there are several other places that the tarballs are hosted, but sammobile is where they originate. idoneapps.com has links to them too after you register, but their downloads are about 10 times faster than sammobiles, literally)
appreciate the help bud. i ended just borrowing my neighbors laptop and flashing it with odin. but if anybody comes across this and is willing to explain that to me, how to use haeimdall i would really appreciate it. thank you for you time

no problem man! thats what we are all here for! at least some of us, i should say. I stumbled across a post today that was from about a month ago that had some dude flaming on a guy for an honest question. He basically said that since youre obviously not an expert, im not gonna waste my time explaining it to you. Im thinking "if anyone is an expert, why would they be asking questions?" kinda ticked me off
gotta learn sometime bud heh, people are special man, but yeah i do appreciate it.
I just want to add, if anyone stumbles on this, and has trouble getting
G900PVPU1ANE5
G900PVPU1BOA6
G900PVPU3BOK4
G900PVPU3CPCA
From sammibile or slow hosting, I am willing to put the unmolested MD5 tarball on a dvd and mail it out.

Very slow hosting. Idoneapps.com has very fast hosting fyi
Hey all!
A coworker gave me their old G Tablet months ago, and the only thing I kept finding was that it was very hard to find all of the tools needed to modify the thing. So many download links are down, etc. I just wanted to post these on here.
I will take them down if I'm stepping on anyone's toes. I will not help you troubleshoot. I am not responsible for any harm caused by the things provided here, and I cannot claim that they came from reputable sources because I can't even remember from where or when I downloaded them.
NVFlash notes:
I've included the drivers because they were harder to find. They're in usbpcdriver. I can't be bothered to reinstall them to find out which you need because frankly I don't care and you only have two or three options. Good luck.
By default nvflash_gtablet.bat flashes the files in its own directory. Just copy the files into where it's located.
The bootloader is contained on part9.img. If you want to flash CWM you will need to replace part9.img with clockworkmod.img for your particular bootloader. Just rename clockworkmod.img part9.img.
Hope this helps if anyone goes around looking to modify their device. Once again, please do contact me if you would prefer your work to be hard to find.

I went looking through all my old files after I found my old G-tab. It was running barebones, stock android from viewsonic, and NOTHING worked anymore. Couldn't even browse the web or use youtube.
I found multiple custom ROMS (branch 1.2 firmware), stock ROMs (branch 1.2, don't have any 1.1 stuff, sorry!), along with TeamDRHs 350m partition prep file, NVflash, and USB drivers for Windows (can be found in the teamDRH 350 Prep folder). Everything you could possibly need or want to get your g-tablet back up and running again. I even used archive.org to look up teamdrh.com and gtablet for dummies old websites; so I could create instruction manuals for myself and those who need them. I just copy-pasted their how-to posts into word documents.
I was bummed I couldn't find MOST of these files ANYWHERE on the web. I was horribly surprised they were not even attached to the original posts here on xda. Maybe the get auto-deleted after a certain period of time or the original posts had links to their own website instead, sigh.
I hope these stay for a long time to come but if not, I have these files stored on 2 mechanical HDDs that I occasionally boot up to make sure they stay working. If anyone ever needs them, send me a DM. Hope this helps. Leave a comment with the ROM you decide to go with! Personally, I'm going with TeamDRH JB 5.2 as it is the 'newest' ROM I have. Hoping to get playstore and browser support using it at the very least. I'd just like to use my tablet as a web browsing/video streaming device again.
