G2X: From Stock to Custom on Linux

So, I'm writing this post so that there is a unified "thing" for G2X and Linux. I just did this on mine, with information from a bunch of different places, so I'd like to make it easier some people (doing it with a guest Windows machine is not fun).
Thanks to jnichols595, and others.
The procedure itself is painless and quick. For me, everything worked from the first time.
1. ROOTING
* download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=577906&d=1303754302
* extract it so it is a folder and cd into it with terminal.
* run the following 1 command:
Code:
$ [B]sudo ./root.command[/B]

Once device has rebooted you should be rooted.
Press Enter when you're ready to quit:
Done, rooted. How do you know? There should be a Pirate's icon in your app menu.
2. INSTALLING CLOCKWORKMOD
* get the nvflash scripts from http://mirror.dal.tdrevolution.net/ctso/g2x/nvflash-recovery.tgz and extract the folder.
* go into the folder and put http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.7-p999.img in there
* open flash-recovery.sh in that same folder with a text editor and modify the line to say
Code:
sudo ./nvflash --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.7-p999.img
* now open terminal and cd into the folder
* remove the battery on the phone, and plug the cable while holding both VolUp and VolDown keys. Hold like that for 5sec and let go
* in the terminal you opened, execute the commans
Code:
lsusb
to make sure you see something like this:
Code:
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0955:7f20 NVidia Corp.
* immediately after that, execute the script
Code:
./flash-recovery.sh
this is what I had

3. Installing the Custom ROM
This one is a video. It is done on a mac, but the computer system does not matter at this point. You just download it to your computer, and then put the zip on the SD card. Use Up/Down to move and Power to select when in recovery mode. This is the guide: http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/
Awesome. Now you can flash ROMs on your device.
***Credits and thanks go to the developers who came up with this, I just put it together!

With the G2X as long as you get clockworkmod recovery on your phone you can flash any compatible rom. No need to root first.

And if you do want to root your existing rom, just get clockworkmod on your phone and then flash the root zip file that jboxer has posted in the development section. It issues the commands and installs su and superuser.apk for you, and sets the proper permissions for those files.

Yes, as long as you are going to a custom ROM. However, if you don't want the whole thing, i.e. just root - easier and quicker.

Notice that that zip doesn't install busybox but it can be easily installed from the Market once you have root access.

Root for SCH-I915

Has anyone found a working root method for the new Tab 10.1 model. It came with 4.0.4.
Sent from my SCH-I915 using xda premium

Also needing root for my sch-i915 any help would be great.

Explore the forums and try root methods for other devices. Just make sure you read read read and know what it's doing. That's what I had to do with the SCH-i705, finally found one that was compatible.

Root, or clockworkmod recovery
Any info on either a working root, or even just a working CWM recovery, for this Verizon Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (a.k.a. SCH-I915) would surely be appreciated...

Has anyone tried making a signed update.zip with all the SU binaries? May not work because of signature check but definitely worth a shot.

Hey yall,
I've been looking for an root method that will root the latest base for our vzw tab 2 lte tabs and I found one that works. Best part is, it should work for you! I unrooted my tab (the 7" vzw) with the latest base J1 which currently has no root method other than a prerooted image, and ran this on linux and it rooted it with no problem
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.7z
Found it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
So here's what you do. Download the above zip and extract it.
Enable USB Debugging on your tab
Plug in USB
Go into the extracted folder, right click on 'RunMe.bat' and select 'Run as Administrator'
Select method 1, Normal
Follow the instructions.
Let me know if this worked for yall.

I tried this, both methods, but still no root access???

It seems like it should have worked. Did the device ever ask you to press the "Restore" button after unlocking the screen?

Yeah.

Do you have access to a linux box you could run this on? Put the adb binary from the android sdk in your path so you can run it from anywhere. It gave me permissions problems at first but after doing the below it worked like a charm.
This is what I did on mine:
After extracing the contents of the downloaded package.
chmod 777 -R directory name
to give the entire directory permissions
I then opened up RunMe.sh and did a search replace
Search: ./stuff/adb
Replace With: adb
From Terminal:
sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server (to start server as administrator)
Then from within the directory
chmod a+x RunMe.sh
To make it executable, then
./RunMe.sh
Thought it might work different on Windows running as admin, but maybe not.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to linux. I wonder if terminal emulator would work?

I've been out of town for a while but just took a look through the forum and didn't see anything new regarding this. Does anyone know if there is a dev even working on the VZW Tab 2? I pm'd Codeworkx and Weltwon but unfortunately neither are doing anything with this device.

Edit 2: I did the roll back for step 2, and then after doing a soft reset, all my data had come back. Thank God.
This doesn't work with SCH-i915 apparently =(

Well, let's hope that with the upgrade to 4.1.2 we will see some movement toward getting rooted. I never thought it would take this long to get. I love having a tablet with 4G connection so I don't have to tether my phone constantly, but it's disappointing not having root.

Sony Tipo Dual not rooted after running the program.
May I know which part is wrong.
Thank you for help given
JQ

Dear XDA member,
Is there anyone can help out on the Sony Tipo Dual rooting?

blablabla
maybe you can use an virtual machine for linux, i dunno if there is an virtual machine for linux mint, bc I am using ubuntu, if you can download an virtual machine, like virtualbox, then you can use a windows OS , search for the program called "UnlockRoot" something like that, to root your xperia tipo dual ST21i2, that's the program I used to root my xperia st21i2, gud luck

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Does that mean rooting is easier to be done on window machine than in linux?

Yes...rooting is easier in windows..

Hack: ACCENT A450 & Driver & ADB

Today I just bought a A450 Android Smartphone ACCENT because I want to work with on a project.
Why ACCENT A450:
ACCENT is a Moroccan brand
ACCENT is sponsoring the event SFD Casablanca
ACCENT A450: not a bad configuration
So the first thing I should do is to connect the smartphone and have access via ADB, but I have not found a driver for it either in the official website or in the web is why I created a Windows via Linux.
Download 51-android.rules Linux ACCENT A450
Download Windows driver for ACCENT A450
Steps with which I have created this driver:
I- Linux:
1- Before connecting our Smartphone:
Code:
@ ws ws-Pro: ~ $ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1bcf: 2805 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc.
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087: 0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 138a: 003C Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS471 Fingerprint Reader
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087: 0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
2-I connected my Smartphone:
Code:
@ ws ws-Pro: ~ $ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1bcf: 2805 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc.
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 24e3: 9025
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087: 0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 138a: 003C Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS471 Fingerprint Reader
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087: 0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b: 0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
NB:
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 24e3: 9025
This is our "idVendor = 24e3" and "idProduct = 9025"
3- I created with a 51-right root file android.rules
Code:
@ ws ws-Pro: ~ $ sudo gedit -w /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
4- I added this line; that contains our idVendor:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM == "usb", ATTR {idVendor} == "24e3", MODE = "0666", GROUP = "plugdev"
5- I restarted the service:
Code:
sudo restart udev Service
6- I unplugged and then plugged in again (my Smartphone):
Code:
@ ws ws-Pro: ~ $ adb devices
* Daemon not running. starting it now on 5037 port *
* Daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
8888888 offline
7- A message appears on our smartphone, we have to accept and voila:
Code:
@ ws ws-Pro: ~ $ adb devices
List of devices attached
8888888 device
II- Windows:
1- I downloaded USB_Driver Google:
See: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
2- Then I added our idVendor and idProduct:
Code:
;Accent A450
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_24e3&PID_9025
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_24e3&PID_9025&MI_01
3- To install is easy:
Download the file and then manually install (video demonstration of a manual installation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IEdJZGQVI4 )
Enjoy

Good tutorial but it doesn't work!
A friend of mine own an Accent A500 which lacks drivers.
He wants me to root it for him. We tried your method but Windows failed installing drivers.

I think it should work if you make small changes because it is not the same device see Technical Specifications.
A question:
When you connect your A500 Focus on Ubuntu and you run the command "lsusb" What is new line as you see

I'm not on Ubuntu atm.
But lemme try it there.

Here's the screenshot.
Anyways, I got it rooted using Kingo Root App but I'd still love getting the drivers working.

can you try that ?
Linux:
$ sudo gedit -w /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Code:
SUBSYSTEM == "usb", ATTR {idVendor} == "0a5c", MODE = "0666", GROUP = "plugdev"
$ sudo restart udev Service
$ adb devices
Windows :
Download Driver A500 Windows
