Is there any way to do this without a computer. I have a computer and tried to do it on there but the MSM tool has to be ran as a administrator and I don't have th authority there to give it permission. I really want to convert to International so I can use oxygen uodator and update to 10
No, why don't you have admin rights?

I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and I am trying to use Adams linux tool to unlock it. I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and got ADB to recognize my phone. I downloaded the tool extracted it, opened it nothing ran so I found the file Root GS3 with DebugFSRoot in Scripts I opened that and then clicked on adb.exe and got this error.
Archive: /home/eric/.cache/.fr-97pmjP/adb.exe
Zip file size: 191488 bytes, number of entries: 33758
[/home/eric/.cache/.fr-97pmjP/adb.exe]:
Zipfile is disk 58485 of a multi-disk archive, and this is not the disk on
which the central zipfile directory begins (disk 30091).
I am completely lost on how to fix it. I am still learning Ubuntu and am familiarizing myself with the system. For some reason when excuting adb commanding I have to put ./ in front of every command or it will not recognize the command. I tried following a guide which would update a source file so I would not need ./ Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
No one used Adams tool? Or even offer a link to something to help me out?

Just download the app its in the play store it will unlock your boot loader. Its simple! If you are trying to root your phone also the you will have to use Adams tool if you chose. You will also need java JDK 6.XX. If you look in development you will see other ways to root also and a link to the app for boot loader

I used to use Ubuntu a great deal until I needed Word to write my dissertation. I tried to use Adam's tool in Ubuntu as well and eventually gave up and went back to Windows. For some reason, the tool always said I had a good connection to my phone event when I unplugged my phone from the cable. My computer obviously was not recognizing the phone properly. Since I have been back on Windows for a few years, I just decided to follow the idiots guides out there and just get it done.
Here are a few stupid errors I made:
1. I did not have java runtime environment installed. I simply went to the software store that comes with Ubuntu, searched for java, and installed it.
2. I did not make the .jar file executable. I just clicked on the file, went into properties, and chose the make it executable option.
This at least got the program to run rather than exploring the file .jar file for what it included in it.
As I am sure you know, the Ubuntu forums are a wealth of information. I could have searched there for answers, but I decided to take an easier path. Of course, Adam's program didn't work for me under windows either so I just used a different method. Good luck and I hope you get it working for you in Ubuntu.

Download this app from the app store.

OK not being a **** to anyone who says "just download the app, or use windows" if you read my post you would know that I'm trying to use Linux. Read the post before submitting a useless response. I thank the people who read my post and submitted and gave me a place to start.

I have been using a windows 7 pc for a while to flash fast boot's. But, recently, I bought a windows 8 pc, and now (no matter what I try) I can't get adb to work. Did any of you guys manage to get it to work? I am screwed?
You can always try using a live CD or run a distro off a flash drive for dedicated developing. Puppy linux works beautifully. Buy a cheapo 4gb drive from a retail chain!
Make sure you're using the correct driver version, win 8 has a finicky install process where it draws the files from the internet even if it's not really correct.
Try manual installation.

I have a mac book pro, and I want to use Odin, install CWM, and root using that computer, is that possible? Must it be on Windows?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I have a mac too, I've hard conflicting reports, but I'm not sure you can (at least not easily). I'd suggest just using a friend's pc to do it. It'll take you 5 minutes and you'll never need to use the computer again.
If you what your doing you can pull the recovery image out of an odin flashable and use Heimdall to flash it. If you don't know what those are best to borrow a windows machine.
It might be possible if you have windows boot camp for Mac

I restored my 6045i phone via mobile Q and lost fastboot because it went straight to LP this time. I am trying to use the Eluga Switch firmware restore but it will not connect. I have tried XP and windows 7 machines with no luck. Can anyone provide tips or guidance?

Pretty sure for the eluga software you DO have to be in download mode. Haven't used it yet so can't confirm 100%. I know the comments I saw said it looks for a com port and I think that's what download mode does.
I finally got this to work. I had to remove some android USB drivers and let the tool reinstall its own drivers. I also had the phone off, but the tool put it in download mode on its own. So now now I have fastboot commands again and was able to flash TWRP. [emoji1]

But the program proceeds to download from the internet or is included in the file that I downloaded? that is, I mean need the internet connection?

I haven't been able to find a definitive answer as the official guide that @jcase and @beaups put out references PC but not mac or linux. It appears that depixel8 is a script and not a windows .exe file, so maybe i can use my linux laptop...? Anyone have experience unlocking the VZW Pixel bootloader using depixel8 on a Linux machine?
(I just got the Pixel and dont want to repeat what happened with my VZW S4 bootloader being perma -locked)
I used a PC, but there's no reason you can't use a linux machine, you're just using it to copy a file and run a few commands via adb, dePixel8 runs on the phone. Get adb and fastboot set up and you're good to go.

Thanks, in my haste and uncaffeinated state my original post and/or title was poorly worded. My confusion wasn't about what is or isn't a PC but whether or not I was correct about dePixel8 not being a windows 'exe' file. I was on mobile at the time and couldn't tell exactly what kind of file I'd be dealing with, so was just looking for a bit of reassurance.
I appreciate the work you do for the Android community. A small donation for you and the March of Dimes(?) is forthcoming.
