Root How to root on Linux

[FergatROn]

Hi, I'm running Fedora 18 (x86) and I can't get this LG Spirit to show up in my OS. I'm trying to get the OS to recognize it so I can then use adb to root the darn thing. The connection methods: charge only, sync with windows media, etc doesn't work. Thanks for any guidance.

I hope it can help you. Info about fast car charger.

Hi Justin, not sure about the link. It's about a choosing a car charger and not about rooting my phone in linux.

lmao hey ferga, thanks for making my day :laugh:. About your rooting problem, there's not really anything i can help you with.

Do you just have one os or a dual boot?

 

[FergatROn]

Hey Cubone. I just have one OS. I thought about it and if push comes to shove then I can fire up a VM of Windows. I'm trying to stay away from that method.

Nothing to see here

Not sure. I'll have to look into USB libraries. When I plug in other android devices they show up. It's just this uprooted phone that doesn't.

Interesting... LG Electronics, Inc. must be the LG Spirit. Good call.

So; I then ran the following command, but no success.
[HIGH]$ ./adb devices

Before we go crazy and try a million things to get adb working, you did enable USB debugging in developer options, right?

 

[GameTheory]

Sometimes udev rules need to be setup. If you haven't already done so, follow these steps.

Assuming Fedora uses gedit enter the following command...

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules

When the rules open, go to the end and copy/paste the following and save it:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1004:6300", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666" GROUP="plugdev"TEST=="/var/run/ConsoleKit/database", \RUN+="udev-acl --action=$env{action} --device=$env{DEVNAME}"

Now enter this to restart udev or you can reboot:
sudo service udev restart

Now check to see if you're good:
Enable usb debugging then plug to PC and enter...

./adb devices

Yes I did. :eviltongue:
Oh my goodness I feel like such a noob. I assumed "USB debugging" was on. I looked at it again and realized that it was grayed out because I already had the device plugged into the computer. Once I unhooked it I had the option to select it. ound: Thanks for simply suggesting the obvious.
