Can someone move this to questions? Sorry about that.
How do I root the tablet on ubuntu? I've only found guides to do it on windows.
Thanks!

Make sure you have fastboot installed
Open terminal

You can't use Odin with a Nexus S. Reflash your recovery using fastboot.

Fastboot is much better then ODIN - If you loose access to recovery, you'd still be able to access fastboot/adb and then you can easily flash custom recovery using adb.If you have lost recovery then install pdanet on your computer.(It will also install Nexus S USB Drivers) then put your phone into fastboot mode by holding down both Volume Up and Power buttons together. When you are in fastboot mode connect your phone to your PC using USB cable.Download ADB and recovery you want to flash put it in your C:/recovery (Put adb and recovery image in this folder)
Then open cmd and type
1)CD C:/recovery
2)fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img (replace recoveryname with actual file name of the recovery image).
2nd command will flash recovery to your phone and then you'd be able to access recovery.
Wow, you learn something every day. Never heard of anyone doing that before.
Thanks

I have UNLOCKED boatloader but S-On
i searched the whole forum to find a way to gain root without s-off , but I didn't find
I tried to flash CWM but it didn't work .. what should I do ???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452173to
This definitely works. Tested it myself.
Here is the link for recovery used to flash through fastboot: link
Extract recovery.img, put it in a folder where your fastboot tools are, connect your phone to pc in fastboot mode, open cmd, navigate to the folder where your recovery.img is and then execute this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After that, reboot into recovery and flash su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip from the recovery (install from sd card option).
That's it.

I have bricked my phone (Samsung galaxy fit). is there any way I can unbrick my phone. It is rooted but there no custom recovery installed on it. Please help!
Search for cwm recovery.img for your samsung galaxy fit.
Download it.
Search for android multi tool (u just need fastboot, if u have fastboot already installed on your computer, no need of this)
Copy recovery.img to fastboot folder.
Boot your phone to fastboot mode.
Open command prompt in fastboot.
Enter this code
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now you will hav cwm recovery.
Copy stock/custom rom to your sd card via card reader.
And then flash with cwm.
Hit thanks.

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
You cannot flash zip files through fastboot. You need to download a twrp image and flash it individually with;
fastboot flash recovery <name of image>
Make sure the image file is in the same directory as your adb window.
Thanks
went to OTA Pie.
Bootloader is unlocked, but phone is S-On.
I'd like to TWRP then Magisk.
From Download mode (to install TWRP) I get "command not found" when I enter fastboot flash recovery twrp.img.
What am I doing wrong?

Put twrp.img into directory with adb and fastboot files for Win OS.
Command line must be run from directory where you have adb, fastboot and twrp.img.
same for Mac OS. Done this many times over the years. But not working with Pie on U11.
In Bootloader or Download I get: command not found for either fastboot devices or fastboot flash recovery /Users/fritz/Downloads/•\ android/twrp-3.4.img.
But adb works fine.
Showing modified and S-On, both of which I don't think I had with Oreo.
I had the wrong fastboot version. TWRP and Magisk are in.
For anyone looking for the right adb & fastboot tools for Mac OS, the link on this page, even though old, is good.
