Hi All,
I haven't seen this posted here yet, so here are some instructions on how to gain root access on Glass using Linux.
(Do not use in OS X Terminal, you may soft brick).
Standard disclaimer, I'm not responsible for you doing this, etc.
These instructions are for Ubuntu but will work in other distros with very minor modification.
DOWNLOAD:
boot.img - developers.google .com/glass/downloads/system
(you'll probably want the XE11 version)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t)
Get the necessary tools:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
./adb devices
(should show your Glass serial number)
adb shell ls /data
adb root
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot devices
(should show Glass serial number with "fastboot")
fastboot oem unlock
(ask you to re-enter command)
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
adb root
