OK so I tried these instruciton for Lucid on Maverick. I would post the link but I can't cuz I'm a newbie.
But it doesn't work in maverick. Please help. Because I really want to overlock my phone.
Also keep in mind I'm fairly new to Linux so be easy on the newbie.
Thanks guys.
Download the latest Android SDK from Google: Android SDK
Extract the TGZ file to your home/user directory
NOTE: User would be your username
On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.
Login as root and create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/##-android.rules
NOTE: In the above file replace ## with the number 50 if you are running Gusty/Hardy/Dapper (50-android.rules) or with the number 70 if you are running Karmic Koala/Lucid Lynx(70-android.rules)
Or simply type in terminal sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/##-android.rules then enter your password
The file should read:
For Gusty/Hardy: SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
For Dapper: SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
For Karmic Koala: SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
For Lucid: SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″
NOTE: In the above lines the code ”0bb4″ refers to a HTC device. If your phone is from a different manufacturer, replace the code with the appropriate from the table below.
Execute: sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
Reboot
To run ADB you need to add an environment variable to your bashrc file:
Open a terminal window and type: sudo gedit .bashrc
Add the following line at the end: export PATH=${PATH}:~/home/user/android-sdk-linux_86/tools
Save and close
You should be ready to go, type adb devices in a terminal window with your phone plugged in.
If you see a serial number pop up that means you are done. Should look something like this:
List of devices attached
HT99PHF02521 device
If for some reasons when running adb devices gives you a “no permissions” error, try typing the following in terminal
adb kill-server
adb start-server
USB Vendor IDs
MANUFACTURER USB VENDOR ID
Acer 0502
Dell 413c
Foxconn 0489
Garmin-Asus 091E
HTC 0bb4
Huawei 12d1
Kyocera 0482
LG 1004
Motorola 22b8
Nvidia 0955
Pantech 10A9
Samsung 04e8
Sharp 04dd
Sony Ericsson 0fce
ZTE 19D2
Common ADB Commands
- Lists which devices are currently attached to your computer
adb devices
- Drops you into a basic linux command shell on your phone with no parameters, or lets you run commands directly
adb shell
- Lets you install an Android application on your phone
adb install
- Remounts your system in write mode – this lets you alter system files on your phone using ADB
adb remount
- Rets you upload files to your phones filesystem
adb push
- Lets you download files off your phones filesystem
adb pull
- Starts dumping debugging information from your handset to the console – useful for debugging your apps
adb logcat
Now, as for the credits, I took TheUnlockr “How To” for Windows as a base for this guide.
But it doesn't work in maverick. Please help. Because I really want to overlock my phone.
Also keep in mind I'm fairly new to Linux so be easy on the newbie.
