Anybody have an up to date / detailed guide for flashing android from linux? I have been searching but all are a couple years old or just arent relevant.

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?
Dear all,
I'm a newbie in the Android world and I'd like to know if it is possible to hack your Android devices using Ubuntu. All the guides I've found refer to using certain softwares (like Odin, SuperOneClick and so on) using Windows,
but as I don't have a Windows computer I'd prefer to manage hacking my phone
using Ubuntu.
In particular I'd like to understand:
0) How to perform a backup of my device ROM so that if anything goes ever
wrong I'm able to flash a working rom on my device;
1) how to root a device (I could manage in finding an update.zip and to root mine.. is this the general procedure or is there a Linux way to do this?)
2) what is needed to upgrade a device?
3) once I have collected all the required files for my device, how can I flash
the rom on it? What softwares like Odin do and how to replicate their behaviour using Linux/Ubuntu.
4) if anything goes wrong how can I restore the working rom (that I've backed up previously at point 0.
Thanks a lot in advance, I've tried searching a lot how to do this for my Galaxy GT-s5670 but I couldn't find anything useful.
Method 2 on the development page says that instructions for Linux will be added soon but that was 2 months ago.
I assume they would be something similar to this page but with a different image?

I have an international Samsung Galaxy S3 (model GT-I9300), running Android 4.3, Baseband version I9300XXUGMK6. All of the recent rooting methods seem to require Windows (Odin + CF-root, or something similar). However, all my computers run Linux exclusively (they don't even have a Windows partition on them). Is there a native Linux method for rooting, or alternatively can I run a root under Wine?
Note that I have got adb working under linux, and I started a backup yesterday (which I aborted when I realized that I didn't need it; all I really need to preserve are my contacts and photos, and I don't need a full backup).
Thank you very much!

Hello all,
I want install Ubuntu to my tablet Asus Transformer TF101 as dualboot with Android. I found a lot of topics about this, but all are very old (about 3 years) and links for tools are down. Could you help me what way - tool, approach is appropriate in this time? I found several ways for Windows/Linux OS with different tools, I can use Windows or Linux - it does not matter, but I can not find currently right way and tool. Thanks for advices.
I don't think that there is "right way" for such dualboot. "Kexec" should do that, but as far as I know, there were no success of using it with TF101. However, there is "wrong" (but still working) way to reach similar result.
It is possible to create blob that flashes kernel/initrd of linux/android disto and reboot afterthat. It is one-time solution, however and it will require to flash same blob again after OS boot, but it is still better that nothing.
