MX5 - adb on Linux

Hi all, I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Adb (version 1.0.32) on my Ubuntu 14.04 does not see my MX5. The device list is empty.
Of course I enabled USB debugging in developer options. When I connect the device to the USB port, I get the notification "USB debugging connected" on the phone.
This is the device from lsusb:

Code:

---

Bus 003 Device 011: ID 2a45:0c02

---

From dmesg when I connect the device:

Code:

---

[17819.413570] usb 3-6: new high-speed USB device number 12 using xhci_hcd
[17819.432007] usb 3-6: New USB device found, idVendor=2a45, idProduct=0c02
[17819.432016] usb 3-6: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=4

[17819.432025] usb 3-6: Manufacturer: Meizu
[17819.432028] usb 3-6: SerialNumber: ...

---

I also tried to add permissions in udev:

Code:

---

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2a45", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

---

Any idea?
Thanks!

[Q&A][ROM] How to install kdz in Linux?

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new around here, although not new to Linux. But positively new to Android hacking.

I have this LG G2 618 10b with KitKat 4.4.2. Thing is I've found this new ROM to upgrade to Lollipop. This is a kdz file, more specifically D61820b_00.kdz.

I have my phone rooted, installed the TWRP, also unlocked the bootloader (a requirement to install TWRP, although I'm not sure if is still unclocked).

So, question is, how to install this KDZ Rom (D61820b_00.kdz.) from my Ubuntu Linux machine. Does anyone know of a clean and working way to do it? Appreciate your inputs.

How do I root GS3 on Linux Xubuntu with Heimdall?

So I have a phone different than most people. See.. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-1747m, but most rooting tutorials are GT-I9300, I cannot seem to find any way to root my version of the Samsung Galaxy S3. I was wondering if there was a way I can root and flash my phone in linux with Heimdall. And also I am not good with coding in terminal so I really hope someone explains to me in a simple way. I do not have Heimdall downloaded but I will first show my version of my linux so that I download the right one.

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.2 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"
VERSION_ID="14.04"

My phone version is 4.4.2.

In terms of roms, I do not know anything about them, so I just would say, whatever is the best rom, I would use it.
So yeah, I just need help from someone experienced with Heimdall and Linux that could help me root and flash my phone. Thanks in advance if you guys help me :D

ASUS MeMO Pad 7 (ME176CX): Linux Deploy, FAT32 and mountpoints

Hi,

Currently I am playing around wth an app called "Linux deploy" which creates
an chrooted Linux environment.
Due to storage space constraints, I've put the Linux system on the external
storage (SDcard).
Linux deploy creates a file on the SDcard containing the ext4 filesystem,
put all files of the Linux system into it, mounts the file via loop device
and Voila! .... Huston, we have a running Linux.

BUT:
On a FAT32 filessystem a file cannot be larger than 4GB in size.
This is damn small for a Linux...especially when it comes to add
more applications. The installed Unix is ARCH Linux with a LXDE
desktop by the way. And only very few additions applications
are installed. gcc is missing for example. A *must* in my case...;)

Is there any way (preferable without changing androids system
files) to get Android to mount anything else than FAT32 as
Removable/MicroSD?

Or is there any other way around this?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
tuxic

qcdlcomm.py - required linux modules for download mode

Hello,
I'm trying to use the qcdlcomm.py python script and cannot get any /dev/ttyUSB* for my LG G2. Which kernel modules are required? Anything else needed besides this?

Code:

---

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1004 product=0x633e

---

dmesg

Code:

---

[ 9203.999687] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial

---

FYI, I will get a /dev/ttyUSB* device when working with arduino and ftdi_sio module. Also, I have adb installed and working.
Thanks in advance.
