I recently had to go from ICS back to stock GB due to a bad flash.

I am now on UCKK4 stock and after hours of searching can't seem to find any way to root it on a ubuntu system. My windows machine died so using superoneclick or odin doesnt seem to be an option. I tried a couple heimdall packages with cwm kernels already in them but couldn't get them to flash. (they would hang at factoryfs) I tried all the suggestions in the connection issues guide and didnt find a solution.

If anyone knows how to root this on Ubuntu 12.04 the help would be much appreciated.

I couldn't get heimdall suite to load the zimage. I'll try working with that again when I get home from work though.
Does it have to be 1.3.1 or should I install 1.3.2?

It was this one click http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19172102
Tried the wipes and reboots. Even tried to flash cm7.
One clicked back to stock. (This one.)
May try again once my stomach feels up to it

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

You could have used WINE maybe.

There is only one entry for a tested SuperOneClick version with WINE but others have worked. I think one of mine was 1.7 and it does.

Check it out at: winehq .org

This is FYI. I run the same Ubuntu, Xubuntu, 12.04 also.
