I'm just about to acquire a HP Touchpad. I see that all the instructions for installing Cyanogen mod involve the use of a Windows PC in order to run novacom & ACME installer 2. As I do not have a Windows PC, can anyone advise how to do the appropriate instructions under Ubuntu?
PS I don't want to install Windows & run it using VirtualBox.

I have installed Windows in VirtualBox in Ubuntu.
Unfortunately I am not able to access USB ports from Windows within VirtualBox so that I can run ODIN.
Has anyone had success with something like this?
Mod Edit : not development related CLOSED ask such questions in the Q & A thread its a STIKY

I've been searching on the internet for quite some time, attempting to find a comprehensive guide to rooting my OG Droid (build number FRG83G running 2.2.2)on my Macbook Pro (i know windows is easier). Does anybody know any way I can do this? Preferably something that includes everything I would need to download/install (with links to said things). Thank you everybody in advance.
Bump, this board moves fast
You would be better dual booting your mac with windows or using a VM such as parallels for example. I dual boot with win xp and can flash quite happily
Do you by any chance have a list of steps that I need to follow in order to do that? Im not very familiar with that process.

Assuming your using osx 10.6x (as i am) go into utilities and look for bootcamp assistant. You will need a copy of a windows os of your choice, licensed of course!
You will be given the choice to boot windows or os on boot, funnily enough windows xp runs better on a mac (and faster) then it does on a pc haha.
Follow the instructions given on bootcamp and enjoy (this will partition your hard drive so ensure its not full!)
For further reading, google bootcamp osx
Have fun.
I now have windows XP running on my mac via parallels. Do you have any further instructions for rooting my phone? Previously I had tried rooting my phone via SuperOneClick v 1.9.5 through mono on my macbook Pro, but it always ran stopped and said Psneuter exploit failed. I figured trying it again on windows could fix that problem, but I cant figure out how to transfer the file over.
Nevermind, I ended up using a usb flash drive, but the program has the same error still; so once again, do you have any instructions for me to follow detailing another way?
I am using my GS3 with my iMac and am trying to figure out how to use root methods. Is there files that I can use?
at the moment Heimdall is broken, only option is to use a Windows machine with Odin until Heimdall is fixed.
You can create a virtual machine using Virtual Box, install windows (you should be able to run windows for 4 days before it requires activation), and root normally using the Windows methods
Hello everybody,
I could not find any other experiences so far so I'd like to confirm that if someone is trying to use livesuit under WinXP running in a virtual machine in Virtualbox it works perfectly.
Just connect the tablet and then enable the new USB device in Virtualbox, and Windows will pick it up.
The only thing to take care of is that when the tablet is connected, a new hardware wizard comes up. At this point you need to MANUALLY install the drivers in the wizard TWICE before livesuit picks up the tablet.
If someone is having trouble I'd be happy to help.
I'm trying to do this a WinXP virtual machine inside of Mac OS X. Managed to install the drivers once but, virtualbox drops it quickly from the list of usb devices before livesuit can ask me if I want to flash the img
Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this is a MacOSX specific problem but wondering if you ran into the same problem.

I would like to say that I am not a developer or anything. I am having problems using adb commands on my computer (windows 8). It is a problem with drivers and such that the computer doesn't recognize the phone when in recovery. The same setup works on my windows vista desktop. I know many people have problems with drivers working on windows 8 and i was just wondering what version of windows is the easiest to work with?

Windows 7 is the best option for me. But there is still a problem, the driver never work with the driver for windows phone 8.
