Ubuntu User - Rom help plz

Alright... i keep reading about this KIES deal... since its windows native, i cant install that.
So i need some help...
Im wanting to know how to load a flashing system... and which one...
then wanting to load Infused v1.
Im doing this all from Ubuntu 10.10
__________
Im already rooted, along with the current (stable) BusyBox loaded... so i got that far.
i just wanna know what i gotta do, cause everything seems to rely on this KIES deal, and i dont have that.
I guess im asking for a walk-through... if anyone is willing to help?

Kies is not required for what you want to do, but without knowing
if your Ubuntu OS can reconize your phone as an external USB
flash drive device and or if you have a microUSB card reader and a
microUSB memory card in your phone its difficult to tell you the
exact step by step way to flash roms to your phone.
I can help, but I do need to know these things first.

If you have all that just download the rom zip, place on SD, reboot into recovery, install zip from SD, choose the zip you desire and then select yes and wait .

first dont ask questions in dev
next kies does nothing but install drivers for the infuse. you.have ubuntu. you.dont need drivers.
what you need is cwm to flash roms and heimdall to return to stock.
google heimdall download. get the frontend package and the backend package and install. you may need to set permissions.as executable.
for.cwm the easiest way is to use heimdall to push a kernel to the.phone. download the comunity kernel. extract the .zip and place the zimage in the kernel slot in heimdall
the phone needs to be in download mode look it up.
alternatively yu can use sgs kernel flasher. get it in android market. that app is self explainatory.
there is another way we used before we had these cool custom kernels but i wont get into that.

lol, he never said he has clockwork mod.
op pm me if you have trouble. i run mint 10kde. its basdically identical to ubuntu kde edition. i havent run gnome in a while but i think i can still help.

I've used heimdall on my install of ubuntu and it works fairly well. 1.3.0 should be compatible with 10.10

LOL I'm a chef so I do everything at light speed! Id go more into depth but its 4:56am and I have to be at work in 6 hours.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App

hmm,. i just updated to heimdall 1.3.0 im not sure i like it.
i prefer 1.1.0. it was very strait forward.
edit: after further use i definately prefer v1.1.0, 1.3 isnt as friendly for flashing kernels. it wants a firwamre.xml file in the .tar or something, i need to read up on the new heimdal, the old one let you flash the different partitions individually. and the files were not .tar achives, you just extracted the images from the odin packages.
im sure the new version has its purpose but for simplicity id say get 1.1.1. the 1.1.1 frontend package seems to work over the 1.2 comandline package.
v1.3 seems to be for compatability with future devices(or current ones) that have a different partition table, the firmware.xml file can specify what device the files get flashed to. this is more advanced and not for everyone.

Dani, just go to the "Flash" tab. The old style of doing things is still there.

thanks linux, but i couldnt see how to insert the files. it lets me search for a pit but nothing else.
does the phone need to be connected first?
does it now require a pit before the other files?(i cant get the unbrick ackage to download at this time to test that)
should it be in a .tar file or still extracted like it was before?

Like i said... i have NOTHING as far as recovery, flash software, ect... Im rooted and thats it.
When i plug my phone in, and enable USB, it sees my internal & external memory separately, so im good to go.
So if you could help me though this, that would be spectacular.
Hell... i might even be cool and donate you a few bucks on PayPal

What you might want to look into are the "Odin" flashable ROM packages - these will at least get you root and CWM recovery.
The Ubuntu equivalen of Odin is Heimdall, as mentioned previously. There are a few tricks to flashing a complete Odin firmware package with heimdall, next time I'm at my Ubuntu box I'll go into more detail.
To use Odin/Heimdall, once you've got them set up and have something to flash - turn off your phone, and then hold VolUp and VolDn at the same time while plugging in the USB cable to the phone. A yellow screen with an Android doing construction work will appear.
Edit: And Heimdall 1.3.0 is just as easy to flash kernels with as 1.1.0... 'heimdall flash --kernel zImage' (I don't use the GUI frontend ever)

no donation needed.
Ubuntu doesn't need any special packages or drivers on these phones at all.
actually a heimdall install on ubuntu iis a lot easier than an Odin install in windows, there are never driver issues. infact Ubuntu is eaiser to install than windows so all these Mac users doing the vm thing with windows and Odin are making life hard for themselves.
you can get cwm recovery by flashing a voodoo kernel. this can be done in heimdall (1.1.1 is self explanitory, 1.3.0 might need some explaining but I figured it out so feel free to ask if you need to.) the kernel can also be flashed in a market app called sgs kernel flasher.

but us linux newbs like the gui, it reminds us of windows.
but yeah, you're right that is easy.
the new gui requires a pit to flash individual partitions. I found it odd. but its not too difficult.

First download this cwm recovery kernel here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?srhipjqvy7mpdde
Then rename the downloaded zip file to "update.zip"
and copy it to root of your INTERNAL SD card.
Now boot to the blue text recovery screen of your phone
pressing the up/down and power keys at the same time
then after 10-15 seconds letting go.
If you have trouble getting into the stock blue recovery
menu you can go to the market and download a free
app called "reboot recovery" that way you can go to
the recovery menu with one click.
After you are in the blue recovery menu select "reinstall packages"
You may have to do this twice the first time, then you will see the
clockworkmod recovery menu and you will be ready to flash a
custom rom.
I do now know which custom rom you want to download, so go
ahead and download a custom rom of your choice (must be a zipfile)
and then copy the custom rom zipfile to the root of your internal
sdcard.
After that reboot the phone into recovery using the "reboot recovery"
app or by pressing vol up/down and power keys after the phone is off.
Then you get to the cwm recovery menu and select
"install zip from sd card" then you will see the files in sdcard.
Select the custom rom zipfile from the the menu by going up/down
on list using vol up and vol down buttons. When you highlight the
file you want press the power button and let it start flashing
the custom rom.
On first bootup on custom rom it usually takes twice as long
to complete the boot process.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Good luck, and yes a donation is always welcome
Have a great day,
Enjoy!

alright... got it loaded...
-phone didnt catch fire.
-the sketchy beaner down the road hasnt stolen my car yet
-i still have 1/2 a pot of tea left...
:: UPDATE ::
STEP 9) Press OK and hold your breath. When 3e recovery comes up, just select reinstall packages.
yeah... i never got that... is that an issue?
2nd thing, was kinda hoping it would be a bit louder... since it has voodoo sound. I DLed the FREE manager, but it doesn't seem any different...
3rd thing, how do i change the lock screen back to the default? (just the large pane, instead of the sliders)
That aside... now that ive had it up and running for a few hours and able to play online and play games to really test it. I really like it. nice and smooth, quick as hell too!
@MisterJunky - It appears my PayPal was attacked, so once i get it sorted and un-frozen, ill send ya a few bucks for helping me.

help on my previous.... anyone?
.....?

voodoo sound is mainly for recording and headphones( headphones more so than recording) . it had no effect on the external speaker.

[Solved] Many questions about rooting my EEE Transformer

First post, and already I'm confused and lost. Off to a good start, yes?
Firstly, greetings all. Nice to meet you.
Secondly, I today managed to acquire a very special and so far beloved Asus EEE Transformer TF101, so, tell me, what can make this Transformer even better?
Why, gaining root access, of course!
I've had a HTC sensation for about seven-ish months now, installed many things on it, and avoided bricking it (somehow), so I'm not entirely new to this process. However, the entire process of rooting the Transformer is getting a bit confusing.
After using Google (yay!) to my advantage, I eventually came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366743
"EASY!" I thought.
...until I discovered my current build number is "8.6.5.21".
So, using the above thread, I got redirected to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006
At this point, things started going downhill.
I read through the steps of the latter thread, which were:
" Get Razorclaw and install it, no root needed."
Done.
"- Get the recovery installer and do the same."
"The Recovery"? My first question comes here, what recovery do I want? Do I go for the straightforward CWM?
My second question is, how am I meant to install a recovery without first rooting my device?
"- Check your version info. You'll see a pair of letter which are like the "WW"[...]"
My version says "WW_epad-etc" so I assume that's sorted.
"- Follow the instructions regarding downloading the .13 update (WW version and/or whatever letter pair your tablet uses, in case the WW doesn't work)."
To this, I assume "pjfriend" refers to the first thread. So I go to it, and open this link. This link works fine, however...
image
How am I meant to downgrade(upgrade?) to Version 8.6.5.13 when it's only designed for a JP "SKU", and I have a WW "SKU"?
"Unzip, slap on external SD, power off, power on with down volume, volume up to go to recovery, bang. Done."
Again, if I have no recovery installed due to being unable to root due to being unable to update my build number, how am I supposed to boot into recovery?
"- Do the same thing with the megaupload file (.19)."
No root :<
"The second option did fix the problem I had, which was trying to update to a WW.19 firmware from a US.13 - DO THE DOUBLE FILE/RENAME TRICK. It works perfectly."
I'm unsure as to what the "second option" he refers to is, and what the "double file/rename trick" is. Any ideas?
"- Run razorclaw, run recovery installer, and gloat."
Wait... so... NOW I run the recovery installer? :/
Darn my build version, it could be as easy as installing an APK and finishing!
My final aim is to install AOKP, and use that, which of course I need root for.
So, for my last trick, do I need to install any firmware for AOKP?
For my really last trick, anything else I should know?
Thanks in advance, apologies for the wall of text.
All best,
Valky.

Thanks very much, however, from what I understand Vipermod is built for the Transformer Prime. Does it work on the non-prime variant?

It will work for rooting only and not installing cwm. Use Recovery Installer for that. Worked fantastic for me on 9.2.1.17.

ViperMod, use option 3 since you're still on HC firmware.

Thanks a lot, all of the above, looks a lot less difficult than I was making it.
Last question:
"Plug in your Transformer"
Check.
"and make sure to install the drivers located in the included .zip"
How would I do this? After plugging in the Tablet, Windows automatically installed the driver software successfully. Is that it already done, or do I need to do anything in particular before running Vipermod?

If your PC recognized you TF, you're good to go.
In case the ViperMod process doesn't work for some reason, update the driver to
the one in the folder.

Thanks a bunch, super easy, sorted, rooted, everything's going fantastically.
Hopefully, I shall be able to help someone else in return. Thank you all once again!

Great. I highly recommend using Recovery Installer to install Rogue XM CWM Recovery. Its the only version that supports the external micro SD card. There are far to many posts about problems with others especially ROM Manager.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

I'm afraid that "one last thing" isn't coming around as quickly.
After sucessfully rooting my device (thanks all!), I've installed titanium backup, backed up the few apps I installed, enabled root access on ES File Explorer, given super user permissions, all that...
Unfortunately, it seems the recovery installer insists I'm not rooted. It just flashes for a second, and then I get a message saying "Sorry, you are not rooted!"
Have I done something wrong?
Also, I have no external SD card in the device currently, but I have the 8 gig one from the old Sensation. Is that required?
Tried various things, but it seems that Recovery Installer just doesn't want to listen. Is there any other way to install a recovery, either manually or automatically, and other than ROM manager? I used 4ext/TWR on my Sensation, so I'm unused to using other things.

And now I'm being asked to update my firmware, I have two more postpone chances. Should I accept?

Successful Root Method for the Pantech Flex P8010

This guide assumes that you are on a stock Pantech Flex P8010 running either ICS (v4.0.4). or the updated JB (v4.1.2) Please note that rooting a ICS phone has been known to cause issues when trying to run the over the air update. If you have already rooted and are looking for a way to update to JellyBean please skip to the section on updating, if this isn't you keep reading.
So at this point you have decided to continue. You shouldn't run into any issues if you follow the directions and you shouldn't mess your phone up even if root doesn't take. However, in the spirit of covering ones back side....
I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong.
Jelly Bean 4.1.2 or ICS 4.0.4
This method was found by LuneBear and has not been tested by myself so I cannot personally verify its effectiveness. I did check and it seems to work with both ICS and JB but your mileage may vary. You will need to download SRSroot and install it on a Windows machine.
SRS ROOT
SRS Homepage
Make sure that USB debugging is enabled on your phone. Connect your phone via USB and run the program. Select the button for all root methods. Then you will need to select the Legolas exploit. Once everything is done (may take some time) just reboot the phone and you should be good to go.
Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 ONLY
Windows Option
This method has been tried on a number of Windows versions and some work some don't so your mileage may very. This method uses Bin4ry's Root method and was orgnially discovered by aaki_rocker and is WAY LESS COMPLICATED. However please note that some users have had issues using this method with Bin4ry's latest version of the root script. It is recommended that you download an older version if you run into any issues or the root doesn't take.
First lets get some drivers on your Windows box. To do this you will need to download the Pantech PC Suite and install it.
http://c724062.r62.cf2.rackcdn.com/PantechPCSuite_1.1.1.3437.exe
Next you will need to download and extract Bin4ry's root script.
http://ul.to/z7krermj
Once you have these two files you will need to plug your phone into the PC via USB and enable the USB type as Data Mode.
Next run the Bin4ry's script and follow the directions when in doubt about what to choose select the simplest option in all cases.
If everything goes well you will have a nicely rooted phone.
Linux Option
This is not a point and click root and is not for the faint of heart. This method of rooting is based off of Bin4ry's root for ICS/JB. Changes have been made to the srcipt to allow it to work with the Flex please follow the steps below and you will have root in just a few minutes. It will probably take you longer to download the files you need than to actually root the phone.
This method has been performed successfully using Ubuntu 12.10 64bit it may work with other versions of linux but it will not work with Windows due to the driver issues and the fact that I didn't alter the windows batch file, in fact I removed any windows related files from Bin4ry's original package.
First you will need to set up the linux machine if you don't already have it. This can be done in one of a few ways you can run a live copy using a Live CD/USB boot (this will not install linux on your computer unless you tell it to) or you can install it in the standard manner or using WUBI, the third option us setting up linux in a virtual machine. If you don't know how to do this google it, there is a wealth of information out there on these subjects and probably some you can even understand without a degree in astro-physics.
Second you will need to set your phone up so that USB debug mode is turned on [settings>developer options]. Make sure you phone isnt plugged into the USB or it won't let you change the setting.
Now plug your phone into to the (linux) computer with the USB. Next you will need to set the USB computer connection type to Media Device(MTP)
In order for the computer to communicate with the phone we will need to install Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and create a couple of files.
These files will basically trick the computer into thinking it has actual drivers for the phone.
Open a terminal window, and enter the following (this will install ADB):
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb​
Once this is done enter the following
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules​
Gedit will open at this point copy the the following into it and then click save and close the window.
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10a9:6055", MODE="0666"​
In the terminal window enter this (yeah I know it looks the same just go with it)
sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules​
After the window opens paste the same line of code into the file that you did in the previous files, save and close.
Test your connection by issuing the following command in the terminal window:
adb devices​
Should see something similar to:
OSCAR01111112010204 device​
Your adb is now recognizing your phone and you can now move on to the next step if you are not getting this don't even bother moving to the next step it wont work. If you don't see this check your settings and go again.
Ok so you are now ready to actually root the phone. The first thing your going to need to do is download my modified Bin4ry script. See the attached file.
After you have it downloaded you will need to extract it you can do this by opening the file manager (click on the home folder icon) and going to download. Find the file called Root_Flex.zip. Right click on it and select EXTRACT HERE. After its done extracting you should see a directory called Root_Flex. In a terminal windows enter the following:
cd Downloads/Root_Flex​
Your prompt should now look something like
[email protected]_name~/Downloads/Root_Flex$​
From here just enter the command:
bash RunMeFlex.sh​
At this point you should see a bunch of junk come up and a menu asking which way you want to try to root. Type 1 and press enter. It will give you 3 errors, ignore them. It should copy a bunch of files and ask you to press restore on your phone, do it. It should ask you to press Enter to reboot the phone, do so and the phone will reboot. It should be waiting on you to press enter again dont press enter until the phone is completely rebooted and for good measure give it an extra few seconds. The script should finish and the phone will reboot again this time you should see a little box with an update appear on the phone. At this point you should be rooted. If not try the script again.
I hope this helps out a lot of folks out there. Let me know if I need to change anything in this How to or if I made any mistakes along the way.
Updating If you're already rooted
So you rooted your phone and now you want JellyBean but when you run the update you get the dead droid image and the update fails OR you live in an area that isn't covered by AT&T and you want the update, what do you do? Well thanks to some hard work by Attn1 we have a solution and its pretty simple. First off you will need to have CWM running on the phone. Now there are a few ways to go about this but the method I used was here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133857
You only need to go as far as getting CWM up an running on the phone you do not need to install it as the the update by Attn1 will take care of a full install of a better version. You will need to have a copy of Fastboot.exe and some img files. Below is a rar file that has all the necessary files to get CWM running (not installed) on the phone using windows (sorry I don't have the linux files for this one). Just unpack them into a convienent folder somewhere and follow the instructions on the link above.
http://tinyurl.com/oa2p48f
I recommend using the boot_external.img but if you do not have an external SD card and only have the internal storage just use boot_internal.img instead. This method relys on you being able to get into fast boot. If you do not have access to fastboot for what ever reason I suggest you jump ahead in the thread and read Attn1 methods for installing CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008888&page=44
Next get the update files from this link (second post)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008888&page=47
Once you have all the files downloaded and copied everything to the appropriate SD cards on your phone your ready to go. If you don't know how to do this don't even think about anything else till you learn this. After this is all done follow the directions below (copied from Attn1's post)
Procedure if you ARE NOT running baseband JYUS06032013 (ICS Basebands) :
boot ICS CWM
flash FLEX-JB-JYUS06032013-FIRMWARE.zip from CWM

flash FLEX-JB-JYUS06032013-ROM.zip from CWM.
reboot
This ROM is Pantech stock with no mods other than CWM installation protection and all stock permissions and symlinks carefully maintained and consistent with the product of a successful OTA.
The firmware is also stock, with the exception of the open aboot allowing fastboot boot <bootimage>, and installation of JB CWM with nothing else added or changed. It runs well with nothing broken. You MUST be on JB firmware (below) to run it properly.
You can let the new CWM root it if you like when you exit - it will prompt you. It will also prompt you to disable CWM on reboot make sure this gets disabled or the phone will keep booting to CWM rather than the ROM.

jist a quick memo guys when you issue the command adb devices please cd to proper android sdk platform tools folder or else youll get an error like no command did you mean..... heres the proper way do this step before you do the adb devices step type in cd ~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools press enter then type in ./adb devices
i am now trying to contact team win for help with porting the recovery image team win recovery so we can start roming this device and adding ports and roms

Acutally this assumes you are on a completely fresh install and did not have adb installed through the platform tools if that is the case everything I typed up will work. However you are correct too. Let me know if you think I should go ahead and rework the stuff to be a little more universal if so please PM me an update of the commands.

your right my apologies but one thing i noticed that i would like to say idk if its my experiance or universal after successfully rooting the flex the lockscreen fails to resize itself leaving a black space where the onscreen dock is usualy located no big issue though and the rooting was easy and painless once adb was set up correctly 100000+ points thanks so much

Good job guys. Respect! I have a Pantech Flex, which is an awesome device with the same specs (things that matter to me) as S3, but without big name. I like Pantech Flex because it's size is much better for me than.
The only thing now is to create a ROM! Is it difficult to make a pure Android ROM? Nothing additional, just a pure Android like in Nexus?
Again, thank you guys for your dedication! I'll definitely donate as soon as I have Jelly Bean loaded on my Pantech Flex!

Thanks, this worked great. I am gonna start on a ROM. Hope I don't get bricked.

lets not get ahead of ourselves here guys in order to create a rom we would need to get a custom recovery on our phone this can be achived by mapping out the devices bootloader extracting an img file of it and using koushes clockworks mod recovery creator only when we achive a port of a custom recovery can we make roms and be able to flash them if any of you have knowledge of this as i am a noob when it comes to recoveries pleasae feel free to input we need all the help we can get guys

lol right now we need knowledge donations unfourtunatly we cannot start working on roms till we have a custom recovery ported over either team win or clockworks mod recovery this will take a little bit of time and knowledge and to answer your question about the stock nexus rom your talking along the terms of a cynaogen mod port? or akop port looking into it i would say untill we have mapped the bootloader we wouldnt know how diffcult it would be because the simlinks maybe difcult for a phone that has not yet caught fire in the dev world

i wish i had the time to do a recovery myself and get cwm working but with my family and my fulltime job i barely get any time. Im going to spend all my time on this amazing little phone to do what i can. props to the root method it worked flawlessly!!!

Awesome I'm glad im getting some good feed back on the root. I wasnt sure if I did the rightup correctly and im glad its working out for everyone.
If I get some time I will start looking into a custom CWM and all that junk I have a contact that should be a pretty good help in this just have to find the time to do it.

Yeah after coming from the LG Nitro HD I was surprised at how easy this was to root.
If you want to get together on gtalk we can work on this together. Right now I'm in the process of getting a ROM dump so we can recover our phones from stock images if we happen to mess them up, which I'm sure we will, but that's the best part! Lol.

[GUIDE] ROOT INSTRUCTIONS + Enable Developer options Read BEFORE you attempt root!!

**WARNING: BY ROOTING YOUR PHONE AND FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THIS OPERATION**​
This guide is intended to prevent some adventurous new Galaxy S 4 owner from bricking their brand new phone
DO THIS BEFORE CONNECTING YOUR PHONE TO YOUR COMPUTER FOR THE FIRST TIME​
This is also the future home of the collection of kernels, ROMs, Mods, etc that will be in development in the near future (hopefully).
Adam Outler and crew are currently trying to unlock the AT&T Galaxy S 4 bootloader. Please go to their thread and show their THANKS buttons some love.
HOWEVER, DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD UNLESS YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR R&D!!
READ "The rules" IN THE OP​
This method of root was exploited by djrbliss. Please visit the original thread and thank him by any means you see fit.
This is not done through download mode or recovery, so don't worry about any button combos. The phone just needs to powered on and running the way you would normally use it.
First things first. You should begin downloading the files you'll need later on.
Download the latest Samsung USB Drivers and the Root Exploit Executable

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Begin installing the Samsung USB Drivers.
It can appear that the installer program isn't doing anything for a while so just be patient.
When the motochopper.zip file finishes downloading
right-click on it and select Extract All...
I usually just leave it at the default location and click Extract
It should finish this fairly quickly. When it does finish, open the motochopper folder in the resulting window. You can now ignore this window until you need it later.
For the sake of efficient use of time, while the drivers are being installed and motochopper.zip is being extracted, you should turn your attention to the phone itself. It needs to be prepared for being connected to your computer for the first time.
USB debugging within Developer options needs to be enabled to use this exploit. There are some that would say that if you don't know how to do this, you shouldn't be in the development forums. To them I say, "Everyone had to learn from somewhere. WHY NOT HERE??" :laugh:
To enable Developer options, open Settings and click on the "More" tab, then "About device". Mine shows where Developer options will be after doing this.
Near the bottom is an entry called "Build number", click on it repeatedly (7 times) until a toast pops up telling you that developer mode is on.
Press the back softkey and click on "Developer options". If you don't see it, you didn't click the "Build number" enough times.
DO NOT CHANGE ANY ENTRIES IN THIS SECTION WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEY DO FIRST!!​
Click on USB debugging
click OK on the "Allow USB debugging" window that pops up.
When the Samsung USB Drivers are finished installing, connect the phone to your computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Windows Update should start looking for software for your phone immediately as indicated by the popup window that appears at the bottom-right of your screen when you have your phone connected to the computer. You can click on this window to watch it's progress, or simply wait for the next one telling you that your device is ready to use.
After you see this dialog, go back to the folder that opened when you extracted motochopper.zip and double-click on the file named run.bat
and click Run on the dialog window that pops up.
when the command line window appears, press enter to begin rooting your phone.
A dialog window will appear on your phone asking you for permission to let ADB execute commands. Click OK.
when the rooting process finishes, press enter to reboot the phone and close the command line window.
**YOUR PHONE IS NOW ROOTED AND YOU CAN USE APPS THAT REQUIRE ROOT**​

Agreed - except for "enabling Developer options and USB Debugging" which I thought might be good in the OP of the "real" thread (and frankly is not called out well in this OP), this doesn't seem to add anything.

No need to clutter the Development thread with guides, thats what General is for. I'm sure this will help someone but its still in the wrong section unless you have a kernel or rom to post.

Thread moved, post in accordance with XDA rules, thanks and enjoy the new phone.

Are you using a new or known good cable? Try re downlooading the zip.
Make sure you extracted the zip. Remove and reinstall device drivers.
Have you tried foxfi in the playstore?

Thank you for the fast response. I am using the USB that came with the phone. I have tried multiple USB ports on my computer and have gotten the Motochopper file from 3 different locations. I have downloaded the USB driver from Samsung twice and installed. I even tried 2 different computers. I am at wits end....
I wrote Foxfi to see if this phone is compatible and hope they respond shortly.
Thanks,
Fred

Fixed missing ADB connection
Wow, I seemed to have fixed the problem myself by chance. I executed the adb.exe file in the Motochopper folder as a stand alone (a few times in fact) and the next time I connected my phone I got the pop-up to accept and was able to root it! In all the posts I have read, not once has anyone mentioned this. Wow, rooted at last! Thanks! :laugh:

In the attempts before that, did the command line window even open when you tried to run the batch file?
EDIT: Typo
Swyped from the 4th Galaxy on XDA Premium

Something that neither root guide mentions in the OP is that you might also need to disable "Verify apps via USB." It was disabled the first time I rooted, but it was enabled after I did a factory reset and rooted again. If root is failing, see if that option is checked and uncheck it if it is.
Can't attach or post a link, yet, or I'd include a an actual link to a screenshot. URL here: i.imgur.com/Ord8xxj.png

[CLOSED]Installing apps on a gabb phone Z2?

PLEASE GO TO THE NEW FOURM POST
[NEW] Installing apps on a Gabb Phone Z2?
YOU CAN NOW ACCESS THE INTERNET ON YOUR GABB PHONE. However, you still can't mod or get apps on it. Here's a tutorial on how to access the internet. Video Tutorial made by Hezy: Tutorial may not be current, so check the text tutorial. Text...
forum.xda-developers.com
[ORIGINAL POST]Obviously, yes, the gabb phone is meant for little kids and such for their first phone. However, it definitely is running android, and probably could be tampered with. If you're wondering what I really need, I mostly talk to people using discord.
Here's what I've tried so far. There is no way (from the file manager) to install .apk files. All it does is tell me that there's no app to open the file with. I have also tried to head over to the bootloader, by holding down the power button and volume down button. I'm fine with no social media, but there is wifi on it, so I was assuming if I could find a way to just get an apk on there, then it would work fine. Also, with the new update, you can see more folders of the phone instead of the standard, PTP thing.

Well if you are reading this, look up how to watch youtube on gabb phone tutorial to learn how to transfer files. If you download an apk on computer, go to computer, press show in folder after downloading apk, copy the file, plug in the charging cord to the gabb and a pc usb, and press this pc in your files, gabb phone, downloads, and paste it. If you go into my files on your gabb, you can go to it but there is no package installer, and if you could download a software or something similar to a package installer, than you could download any app.

It says no app to run this

Maybe if you could run an emulator or jailbreak the gabb phone. Maybe if you could transfer a apk installer file from your computer. Maybe through downloading some app or game on an sd card on a different phone and then putting the sd card in the gabb phone. Maybe you could download android software and transfer it to the phone. If you could run an android emulator that would be the best option.

how do you do that?

So, I have figured out how to access recovery mode. But you are not able to access the bootloader from there, although you can update from an sd card or adb debugging if u know-how.

PLEASE HELP ME I NEED TO KNOW MY DUDE

I found a file in android known as .nomedia it might have something to do with it.

You may be right, because The use of naming a file NOMEDIA is to keep the device from scanning that particular folder. Apps sometimes hide ads in that folder so they don't get deleted. So gabb may be hiding crucial files in that folder, although you will need an external app to manage NOMEDIA utilities. such as studiokuma.

I have noticed that when you hard reset your gabb phone it will show make you agree to the terms of service. if you click read terms of service it will take you to a the ZTE page, but upon closer inspection it is in a web browser, where you can acces youtube, instagram, etc.. BUTTTT you cannot login to your google play account because the keyboard is disabled.

Just wondering if anyone has made progress on this? I have tried almost everything at this point
Tried unlocking bootloader from fastboot (I get `Unlock failed` errors on the device side. Something about it be not allowed?)
Right now my goal is to get USB debugging enabled and go from there
I have basically tapped every setting at least 100 times and still no debug mode

You all are going to laugh at me but I contacted Gabb claiming my son (me) has figured out how to download apps onto the Gabb phone and the assistant lady was all supprised and was like can you send me a picture and so I was like my son is not letting me. Anyways she said she was going to escalate it with her supervisor so like that I know how to do it. Once I know how you all will be the second peoples to know!

I am currently stuck around this part as well. I was able to reboot into recovery mode by holding the power and volume up button till the screen starts up. I attempted using adb debugging's install command (can be found here), but I ran into a "server client error", notifying me that the server client versions don't match up. I have no idea what that means. I will need to do some further research, but this is what I have so far to contribute to our "noble" cause.
P.S. I forgot to take screenshots of the errors (my bad), but I'll do some research on adb then try again and share the errors (hopefully no errors).

Did you get it into proper ADB mode or just ADB sideload mode?
I have a stock FW image that I could maybe patch to have USB debugging enabled

Hi,
The .nomeadia file is a config file that allows you to hide/show gallery albums. It in no way is connected to the topic.
