I have recently stopped running windows and have switched to linux ubuntu 12.04. Im trying to learn enough To be a samsung fascinate contributor...Anyway, I recently bought my girlfriend a verizon wireless note 2 and I want to root it for her. Couple apps she likes that need root perm. After countless hours of research and trail and errors I have yet to get ODIN to recognize any device. ( Im trying to run WIN 7 inside virtualbox with linux host) I know all about the add on iso and all that. read that maybe WIN XP be a better fit but cant find an ISO image. Like I said I have read through many a forum thats y Im trying here...know u guys r busy with more pressing issues just need a lil help.
I know ODIN very well. used it too manY times to count with my fascinate. Ive seen ADAM's videos on how to root note 2 and he using ODIN..which looks like to running on a linux platform...using something..guessing virtualbox..so im assuming it can be done.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HERE. ILL GLADLY DONATE TO ANYONE THAT HELP ME GET THIS DONE!!
STARTING TO MISS WINDOWS..LOL

Hi,
I think you can use Heimdall (a linux alternative to Odin for some galaxy phones) on a galaxy note 2. If it doesn't work you can maybe root it via ClockWork Mod (CWM). But Odin Mobile (an app that you can find in the Play Store) is compatible with your phone, so give it a try.

I've tried to follow every single how to on here and I could not get my dad's galaxy s rooted. Its running KB5 2.2.1
Zergrush failed
I can't find a rooted rom that I can flash through odin
I can't find a one click rom to work with heimdall
Manual rooting didn't work
how the heck do I get this thing rooted? most of the DL links are pointed at multiupload and there are no good sources to get rooted roms from. Help me please.
Since you are on KB5....
You should go ahead an update your dad's phone to the newest official ROM - Gingerbread 2.3.6. Here is a simple guide for you to follow -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21954884
I recommend you stop after you update to Gingerbread and root the phone. Since it is not your phone I don't think you need to mess around with custom ROMs.
Good luck and let us know if you need more help.

Yep no custom roms for him. When I get it rooted I'm going to remove bloat with Titanium. I'll try this out and let you know.

I personally use System ROM Toolbox. TB seems to need to reboot for me when removing system .apk's, whereas with System ROM Toolbox batch remove the bloat... and if you decide to use a custom kernel to get CWM FB's DeBloater is really the easiest.

Woe dude...I feel for you. I had my SGS4G for 3 days now and just got it rooted about 20 minutes ago. Mine is running KJ6 2.3.6 Naturally, when we get our brand new toys instinct hits manual over-ride and we find ourselves tryna root it as soon as we wlked through the door - LOL! It's true - I did the same thing and hit a brick wall just like you did. And for the life of me I just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong - and tryna figure out what I should have done that I wasn't doing. Sounds about right??? Okay, almost by complete accident I found out what I was doing wrong - lol - I tried to root my phone on a XP Pro OS!!! (Sounds Crazy Don't It?!) NOT ONE ROOT APPLICATION WORKED UNTIL I SWITCHED MY OS !!!
As soon as I slapped Super One Click 2.3.3.-Short Fuse on a Micro SD, and tried it again on a Vista 32-bit OS, the process took every bit of 3 1/2 minutes!!! Either way it goes, I hope my info can benefit you or someone reading in some way...
Til the next - HAPPY ROOTIN !!!

I would like to root my Galaxy Tab 2 7" so that I can use a custom ROM. However, I am having problems figuring out how to do this with Ubuntu Linux. I've rooted a couple of different phones before, but I'm far from an expert. I have ADB up and running on my computer and have downloaded heimdall and heimdall-frontend. If anyone could help me, I would be EXTREMELY thankful.

I do realize that this thread is two years old, but if you are still interested, I have a thread in the tab 2 general section on rooting in Linux.

Linux distro that supports the Galaxy S3 SGH-i747 (AT&T) over USB???
Hey guys! I am taking a Linux class and for my final project I am rooting my AT&T Galaxy S3 (SGH-i747), something I have done many times before and then installing ubuntu to it. However I have a had a terrible time trying to get the USB drivers and software (Samsung Kies, Odin, etc) to work on Ubunutu. I have tried using WIne and PlayOnLinux but no joy, Have any of you had any luck getting this sort of thing to run on another distro of Linux (Fedora, Blackbox, Red Hat, etc)??? Thanks in advance for your advice?

Wrong forum!
I am having much difficulty rooting my phone. My phone is a Docomo NEC Medias N-06C running Android 2.3.6.
So far I have tried Z4Root, Universal Androot and Gingerbreak. No luck.
I have no computer skills, so trying to use SupeOneClick or other computer programs have proven impossible for me. I have the drivers for the phone, but no idea how to install them in WIndows.
Can anyone recommend a good tool to use to download onto the phone and root from there?
Wow, a week and not a single reply. Either no one knows, or no one cares. Both makes this forum a huge disappointment. I thought this was the place to go for smart advice. I was wrong.
You have to develope it by your own, doesn't exist yet

No one here has yet created this for: your device, sadly when it comes to rooting it depends on if a developer owns the device your attempting to mod. In this case No there's no one here at Xda. Be sure to use Google thoroughly and search everything available for device you want to root. If there is nothing out there meaning no dev has ever developed anything for your specific device your next option is this " Search for a device that is similar in specs such as cpu/gpu, processor speeds, firmware versions. Now if you find devices that are similar.
"For example my device Sgh-T679 Samsung Galaxy Exhibit ⁴g has a similar device the Sgh-T679M Samsung GalaxyW they are very similar meaning devs used builds from the Sgh-T679M and ported them to the Sgh-T679 For Example: the sgh-T679 never had anything higher than Android 2.3.6 released in it. Using Sgh-T679M builds we've successfully ported over Android 4.0.4-4.1.*"
All the How To Guides are located on the web(actually if search here at Xda everything you'll need can be found here) If there are no mirror devices for the one you are using then I'm sorry if your not a developer then you may be S.O.L. Hope this has helped you and goodluck, I'm sure some where out there on the web there's someone out there who's already worked towards rooting your device. Find what you need look up the How To's you'll need to achieve what your looking for and read up If your computer literate then you may possibly be able to do it on your own. Also remember there are emulators and Android Sdk that you can use on your PC as a developing tool so you can test out the rom on your PC first. It basically I'd a program that runs your Android device in your computer so you call mod, test see what works and what doesn't work start over mod, reapply and have no risk of bricking your device in the mean time. I wish you luck and welcome to Xda.
I promise you I know computers can seems like trying to read a language you've never heard of before but here at Xda the great Developers have created flawless guides on How To's for everything involved with Android Open Source Project.
Edit: I reread your post and see you said your not very computer savy please just use the guides provided and or you will learn or meet someone along the way who will be more than happy to help you achieve what you ate trying to do goodluck friends wish you well

Hi all
Not really a noon, but seem to be either drawing a blank and getting conflicting comments and information!
So, in brief, I'm running stock Samsung jelly bean 4.1.1( Taiwan version). And it works fine.
I want to root so i can get cm 10.1 for that aosp feel.
I know that Macs use heimdall (got that) and i also understand i need to be on cwm recovery, but I'm struggling to find instructions as to how to actually root!
Which files do i need ( being on stock jelly bean), to use for heimdall in order to be able to flash cm10.1?
I do not have access to a windows computer, so unfortunately can't use Odin,
If anyone can point me in the right direction, id be very grateful.
I like to contribute comments for those in need on the forums.... and i now cone cap in hand asking for assistance
Many thanks all and a happy new year to you all
If you already in how how to use Heimdall, you can find the files in my guide (link in signature) ... just use CWM-SuperSU-0.96.zip.
