What the hell are you talking about? Is this on a phone? A computer? What desktop are you talking about? Am I the only one confused here?

ok i installed debian for the android and using this site http://www.androidfanatic.com/cms/community-forums.html?func=view&catid=9&id=1620#1620 and whenever i type in bootdeb on terminal emulator it says its caught in a loop or something and i rlly need help because i hav been tryin for a month on getting lxde desktop on g1 and hopefully that time didnt go to waste cause i finally got it working but then i cant boot in to debain please

It's really not worth the effort... debian on the g1 is just for geek thrills, its speed and functionality is limited to say the least.

You should probably just get help on the site that you originally got the instructions from. The whole "run Debian on the G1" craze died off back in the December/January range. You'll probably get little help, especially with your thread title "help please fast seriously".

1: don't type in all caps. nobody likes being yelled at.
2: you started another thread for something that you've asked several times? not cool.
3: people on here have been extremely helpful for you, but you start a new thread every time you don't get an answer after an hour of waiting. not how it works.
4: people may be getting upset with you because you're not being a particularly pleasant person either.

hes pretty much right on the spot.
hi did you try "adb device" to see if adb can detect

bricked G1 - need some help.

i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.
if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.
youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.

Google shows: http://tech.ruimaninfo.com/?p=43
(after a link back to this post)
I use debian not ubuntu but the idea is install the java5 package from the older version (keeping your java6 package) then use the alternatives command to switch between them.
If you primarily use java6 and don't want to be constantly switching the alternatives you can always in part of your build setup (just before running '. build/envsetup' add the java6 bin directory to the beginning of your path. (That or take a moment to allow java6 to work with froyo.. I'm not sure exactly what needs to happen but it ought not be that bad [edit: seems the same person has some instructions for java6: http://tech.ruimaninfo.com/?p=49 ])

[Q] plz dont delete this until it gets answered

1. yes i have tried searching for my answer
2. while this may be an easy answer im a noob and dont know some of the terms so plz break it down for me
ok now for my question i have a samsung captivate with froyo 2.2 uckb2 and i want to get root access on my phone the only computer i have access to has linux mint which is the main problem if i had windows i would have already oneclicked this and been done with it but my main question is i have seen heimdall and im still really confused if thats what i need or not second do i need the drivers if i have linux i remember somewhere saying i didnt need the drivers if im on linux (might have misread)
feel free to post links im not afraid to read up on something but i have been looking for a while and cant get a clear cut answer and thus i posted another thread feel free to delte this but at least let me get an answer first plz
Simple search on Google.
Rooting Captivate on linux
No clue if that will work on mind, but still.
yea thats def the first thing i did but all of the ones that come up just leave me even more confused than i already am like what is abd and everything else like i said i have already looked around and im just confused as to what i need
also tried the link there but that gives me a head ache even trying to think about that i mean if someone could break down some of the terms he uses there i would gladly stop dirtying up the thread with my nooby questions
Basically you are going to do everything the 1 click does in the terminal. Just follow the steps its literraly broken in to simple command steps.
And learn how to use a period. Holy run on sentence batman. You're entire first post is one rambling, jumbled, **** storm of a sentence. If you want help you at least need to type in a way that people can understand it.
