Root Root from Ubuntu 10.04

[skorea2131]

I have been searching for a way to root my Intercept from Ubuntu, and all the ways that I found, make me compile a bunch of crap, and then don't work. I was wondering if there was a way, like the Windows program that people normaly use. I have tried Wine, and it doesn't work at all. Once installed it immedietly crashes, so it doesn't work.

Anyways, if there is a easier way to do it on linux I'm all ears. I've been using Linux for about 7 years now, and Ubuntu for about 3, so I know pretty much what I'm doing.

P.S. Please don't suggest an emulator or a virtual PC. Takes to much time, and I HATE Windows.

Wondering same thing, but why don't you update to Ubuntu 10.10?

why don't you update to Ubuntu 10.10?

Yeah, my bad. I am up to 10.10, just forgot about it

I am using kitchen now and when I flash the custom ROM in recovery mode, it says this

-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

​

Now, I tried to update with the stock ROM, with a custom ROM, and with a ROM that was signed by kitchen, but they all said this... What am I missing?

Seems like the "digital signature" i believe is what it's called failed authenticity.
From what I know.

I am now trying to use SuperOneClick, and it keeps crashing. I have all the prerequisites and have done all the programming things on my computer, but every time I click a button on any version of SuperOneClick, it crashes. Here is an example of what the output is when I click the "Shell Root" on version 1.8

name@computername:~/folderpath$ sudo mono SuperOneClick.exe

I was wondering if it is something that I did wrong on the prerequisites, or it's just the program itself.

Always make full backup before trying any steps and you are always responsible for your phone.



Please see my post in the following thread EdAndInn

http://androidforums.com/sprint-intercept-all-things-root/147170-anybody-root-intercept-yet.html




The above thread uses ADB to root the phone. I am enjoying learning and using ADB commands and Linux commands for Samsung Intercept.

Okay, so I got through all the crap of flashing my phone on abd with a custom recovery(Inxane's Custom Recovery). So now I have rebooted my phone into Recovery Mode and it shows the custom recovery. Then I rebooted and did some other stuff with the phone, nothing in the system files, and when I rebooted again, *POOF*, it was gone!

So now I am stuck with the stock recovery, and now my phone is only connecting every 20 minutes. When it connects, it doesn't stay on for long. So, I am wondering, is it something I did in the process that screwed it up, or something that I need to do, that I didn't do.

Also, when I get to the custom recovery, can I just install a custom rom, or kernel without root? Or do I need to flash a custom kernel.

FYI: I am still using Ubuntu 10.10 and using abd. I put all the extra text in the system files on Ubuntu, so I know that it isn't my computer's fault.

Oh man! I hope this is going to easier. I have struggled like crazy to root my intercept on Win7 (32 and 64)... went on to load a VM with XP and still could not get it going and not am loading a VM with Ubuntu 11.11. Over my dead body I could not get windows to recognize my intercept, so I am going to give Linux a shot.

My worry is that most rooting tools I have seen thus far run on Windows. If there are any that will run on Ubuntu I also want to know.

[GUIDE] - How to gain permanent root using ADB Tool - Without Rooted Kernel/ROM

Since it seems like you know what you're doing with the unix style terminal this guide might be of some help. If adb doesn't work from your computer (though I don't see why it wouldn't, unless that's the reason superoneclick isn't working. . .) you can get all the files on your sd card and use a terminal emulator from the market to move them to the right places & such.



another option is the InterceptRoot app

(you can also find it in the market)
