did you follow the directions to unlock your bootloader? if so, you already have all the tools you need
I was on a wind0ze box..
I am running gentoo only now.
You also need eclipse to flash hboots and at least 3 ubuntus to compile and flash baksmalis.

OP, just set up ADB SDK for linux...
no u need 2 ubuntu distros first to use compiler and compile 16 bit kernel then ubuntu 64 bit to make 32 arm kernel then u need again 32 bit linux, altho ubuntu is bit buggy for diff byte calc. but you can try so you need do diff on both kernels and diff apply to 16 bit kernel to get 18 bit kernel.
or
or you could use fastboot flash tool to flash new kernel or rom to your device...

Chumby, this is a dual core phone, so you have to diff twice for 36 bit.

Ok, I'm on Gentoo Linux
I was following the guide here.
But I'm unsure how to make the program "android" actually start.
If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it.

Ok, I have Android SDK installed, Platform Tools added.
Now when I try to get ADB or Fastboot going, It says permission denied.
But if I try to start Fastboot or ADB in SU/Root it says command not found.
WTF?
Once again, I'm on the newest Gentoo && 3.1.6 Custom Kernel.
Thanks for your time.
sudo ./adb devices
you either have to be in the same directory as the adb binary or you need to have platform tools in your PATH. if you added your PATH, you need to log out and log back in or reboot it
or restart bash....i prefer the log out
I don't know what the PATH is so i'm assuming I didn't add it.
Care to explain ?
Do I need to add my root/su account to a certain profile?
Like I said it works under my regular account, just not as root.. which is like sudo in ubuntu.

How to update your PATH
Adding both tools/ and platform-tools/ to your PATH lets you run command line tools without needing to supply the full path to the tool directories. Depending on your operating system, you can include these directories in your PATH in the following way:
On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add the full path to the tools/ and platform-tools/ directories to the path.
On Linux, edit your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file. Look for a line that sets the PATH environment variable and add the full path to the tools/ and platform-tools/ directories to it. If you don't see a line setting the path, you can add one:
export PATH=${PATH}:<sdk>/tools:<sdk>/platform-tools
On a Mac OS X, look in your home directory for .bash_profile and proceed as for Linux. You can create the .bash_profile if you don't already have one

NEW START POST
This page will be for the topic of linux on the gt540 all distros that will support arm-v6 arm-v7 and armel as these will all work with the exemption of arm-v7 which will of course run with some lag.
So far we have ubuntu and debian running but want more variety is best.
Any helps with scripts speed improvements sharing set ups etc is highly appreciated this thread will be open and transperant in its knowledge.
As with the rest of xda i would like for this to be all about joining together to make something great
VERY SLIM DOWN EASY TUTORIAL TO GET YOU GOING
1. First up your on xda so please for the love of god tell me your device is already rooted and you have busybox??? if not very easy download z4root do a permanent root or temporary if your scared of warranty etc second download busybox installer from the android market and install. Mur4iks rom is most popular and supports loop devices not sure about other roms also have debugging turned on you need that for adb.
2. Make sure you have the android sdk windows drivers etc etc or if in ubuntu or linux make sure you have this file setup
/etc/udev/rules.d/99.android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="1004",ATTRS{idProduct}=="61b4",MODE="0666"
3. Make sure adb recognizes your phone run
In windows adb devices
linux (sudo) ./adb devices (ubuntu can be fussy)
Any problems at this point consult the almighty google or android development page that has all information for trouble shooting adb and your device
4. Ok so here is where the phone begins and all the code and missing steps and going back etc etc
At this point a strongly suggest a coffee a cup of tea some music or a smoke if you do
5. Now we must download a version of linux that is compatible with our phone as mentioned above armel arm-v6 are preferred
Theres three ways we can do this
1. We can go to androlinux.com if we wish to have a easy to set up ubuntu system
2. We can download linux installer from adroid market and choose an appropriate distro
3. For the more tech savvy download direct and set up the whole base system to custom sizes run custom scripts on boot etc etc if a few people did this it
would however be great as we could have a multitude of gt540 linux flavours
6. There are alot of VNC Viewers out there im not gonna say what ones best as everyones opinion is different on this put simply type vnc in the market have a read look at some screenies and choose one thats right for you as we will need it later. Has to support tightvnc though.
7. The file we downloaded we have to move this unziped to the root of the sd card.
8. If using linux installer from market simply start installing we will catch up with you later on the vnc set up gui etc
9. Ok the file is happily in the sd card root (Yay) Now you need to open a terminal or command thingy in windows cmd.exe everyone sets up the sdk differently so pretty much in ubuntu or linux you need your file path then /platform-tools in windows the same cd into that file
10. Now we are inside that directory test adb so Ubuntu--- "sudo ./adb devices" Windows ---"adb devices"
It should come up with devices attatched 6437946238946 type thing congrats your sweet to go
11. Start adb shell Ubuntu---"sudo ./adb shell" Windows---"adb shell"
12. #su
13. #ls
14. #cd sdcard
15. #ls
16. At this point you should be able to see the name of the distro say ubuntu sooooo
17. #cd ubuntu
18. #sh ubuntu.sh
19.Warnings code blah blah blah
20. #bootubuntu
21. PEOPLE USING LINUX INSTALLER COME BACK
22. You will have something like this #linuxboot
23. If you now get [email protected]:/# or Linux-ARMEL:/# or similar yay we are now running a distro parallel to android in chroot which is awesome!!!!!
At this point feel proud because regardless to gui etc you have linux.
Worst comes to worst recompile kernel again with loop support for the people doing customs and check your code.
24. This is quite possibly the worst part and most time consuming #apt-get update that will take for ever
25. Once that finishes #apt-get install openssh-server once thats done type #passwd and set your passwords etc
26. And then #apt-get install tightvncserver
This will require xxx space and needs to do blah blah blah when given the option Y/n choose Y for all of these
27. Ok in ubuntu if it goes phyco #export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 that will get rid of germain and bring english back debian etc dont worry only seems to be ubuntu
28. LG GT540 came out 600mhz so on any system we want lxde or similar so #apt-get install lxde
29. Now personally i dont run lxde on startup because i like to tinker and i dont mind writting the code in terminal after i boot the system takes all of what five seconds but if you want it to run on start up
cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
icewm &
lxsession
Then hit Ctrl+D twice and enter to save the file.
30. Now for me after boot i do this
#export USER=root
#vncserver -geometry 1024x800
If your using above you only do this once for me i do it everytime
31. Run #ifconfig to get your ip addy etc
32. This is something i do just to make sure #swapon -s
33. Now the tightvnc server is ready to connect to your phone or computer. Just point to the IP address and use port number 5901 to connect.
THAT SHOULD BE IT ALL SET AND READY TO GO OF COURSE YOU CAN ADJUST HOW YOU LIKE AND DO AS YOU WISH
MANY THANKS TO ANDROLINUX.COM LINUX INSTALLER FROM ANDROID MARKET AND GOOGLE FOR MANY WEB PAGES I VIEWED
IF I USED ANYTHING YOU PIONEERED ITS ONLY SO I CAN SHARE WITH OTHERS AND TAKE THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL
HAPPY MODDING TO ALL AND I HOPE WE CAN ALL WORK ON THIS AND HELP OUT.
how would you do it?
Ubuntu jaunty supports ARM-V6 Architecture
And all the smaller Linux systems supported Pentium 2 processors slash hardware
Pentium 2 processors started at around 300mhz with smaller caches and buses then our device
Android is based on Linux our cyanogen mod system is based on 2.6.29
So in essence we should be able to port several Ubuntu / Linux flavors to our device and run them through a virtual machine off the SD card using loop device and swap or as a dual boot by flashing the Ubuntu / Linux system to what we know at the moment as the recovery partition
any help we can get to do this is needed anyone and everyone

/home/tcberg2010/kernel/inc/arch/arm/include/asm/dma-mapping.h:442: error: implicit declaration of function 'arch_has_speculative_dfetch'
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
Anyone else running into this error? Saw on Evo 3D forums that it was an HTC issue. I sure hope not in our case.
Hey guys can someone please look over my instructions and see if I'm correct or not? I'm trying to learn something new here since I've never done this before.
Download http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/incrediblec-2.6.35-gb-mr.tar.gz from HTC's website.
This is the correct size and MD5:
88.8 MB (93,175,808 bytes) 67c01623ff73415a99e5f8cd1d8ef11a
Enter “root” mode so we dont have to do 'sudo' so much.
Code:
sudo /bin/bash
1. Untar your incrediblec-2.6.35-gb-mr.tar.gz file
Code:
tar xvf incrediblec-2.6.35-gb-mr.tar.gz
Next, you can move the directory to /kernel for easy naming.
Code:
mv incrediblec-2.6.35-gb-mr.tar.gz /kernel
2. Next, let’s go to your SDK Tools directory android-sdk-linux/tools
Code:
cd android-sdk-linux/tools
3. Next, connect your HTC Droid Incredible to your computer and make sure it’s in USB Debugging Mode under Settings->Applications->Development.
4. Next, we will pull the current configuration from your existing kernel on the HTC Evo 4G, so we don’t break anything
Code:
adb pull /proc/config.gz .
5. Let’s gunzip the config.gz:
Code:
gunzip config.gz
6. Let’s move this config file into our kernel directory as .config:
Code:
cp config /kernel/.config
7. Go into your kernel directory:
Code:
cd /kernel
8. Let’s download the compiler for ARM on linux. (Select the latest version and download the one that says “A32 GNU/Linux TAR”. e.g. https://sourcery.mentor.com/public/...-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
Just do in Terminal:
Code:
wget https://sourcery.mentor.com/public/gnu_toolchain/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-2010q1-202-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
9. Untar the compiler
Code:
tar xvf arm-2010q1-202-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
10. Let’s edit the Makefile to use the downloaded ARM compiler:
Code:
gedit Makefile
Next, change the CROSS_COMPILE ?= arm-eabi- line to:
Code:
CROSS_COMPILE ?= arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
11. (Optional) You can now edit .config file to add your hacks such as enabling loop devices for mounting.
Uncomment the CONFIG_DEV_BLK_LOOP and write:
Code:
CONFIG_DEV_BLK_LOOP=y
to enable loop devices.
12. Let’s compile it by doing:
Code:
make
Once that’s done, you need to copy over the “compiled” wifi drivers to your HTC Droid Incredible to make it along with your new kernel.
Let’s copy over the new kernel and drivers to your android-sdk-linux/tools directory for easy installation.
Code:
cp /kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329_204/bcm4329.ko /android-sdk-linux/tools/
cp /kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage /android-sdk-linux/tools/
13. Go to your SDK tools directory again and push the new files!
Code:
cd /android-sdk-linux/tools
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
14. You will need fastboot to flash the new kernel image so do:
Code:
wget http://android-dls.com/files/linux/fastboot
chmod 755 fastboot
(For Windows, download this file and put into your SDK tools directory!)
Next let’s flash the new kernel image, zImage by doing:
Code:
fastboot flash zimage zImage
It should actually be waiting, now you need to turn your phone off, then boot it back up into bootloader mode by pressing the Power button WHILE holding down the volume button. Wait 3 seconds and hit the Power button to enter the fastboot mode.
15. Now you should see fastboot flashing the image and you can reboot it to try out your new HTC Droid Incredible kernel you built yourself!

You cant not build it because I doubt you have even compiled a kernel before. You are just a drag and drop dev. None if your roms are orginal, tweaks of others!. Not trying to flame, but its the truth.
Well, its whatever. People on XDA would much rather bash those that need help than to actually help them. I'm still learning but I can't get anywhere with these types of comments. So until then I'll be over at themikmik.com.

Here is a thread that helps us mac users with what we need to do to get our phones unlocked, etc. Just read about it and wanted to share with everyone.
Also wanted to mention that Vivid Tools for OSX in the Dev thread worked for me. I was able to unlock and relock. It's also simplified, so there's no need for terminal commands or anything, it does it all. The root option doesn't work though; just FYI.
I'm OSX Lion 10.7.3, and I think the app is for 64 only, so may not open on older macs running 32.
Do any of you know how to flash a kernel on a Mac? Should be just like in Windows only following that HTC Rezound example?

I believe so. I couldn't get it to work but I am not sure that I placed the boot.img in the same folder as the fastboot. Also make sure to open the command prompt inside of the folder with those two files.

Yeah I tried here and worked out just fine.
I placed fastboot and adb in a folder inside my mac's root folder so it's easier to get to it through terminal. I named it Android.
Then I placed boot.img in that same folder.
Opened terminal and typed
Code:
cd /Android
Then typed
Code:
/Android/fastboot flash boot boot.img
/Android/fastboot reboot
Worked just fine. In case you need it some day

Great job! Glad it worked out for you!
?????????? insufficient permissions.
this is the message you get in linux when adb and fastboot have trouble detecting your device. im no guru. so you will have to bear with me. this procedure will work on most devices. and most debian or ubuntu based distros. but i am giving it for detecting htc vivid setup on ubuntu 10.10
after u recieve the error in terminal type in command (lsusb)
the terminal will spit out vendor id's for all usb devices attatched. on the vivid it is 0bb4:0cbb
then you need to create a new file (sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules)
your vendor id is added to that file (SUBSYSTEMS==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”0c01″, MODE=”0666″) save and exit
fix permissions to the file just in case (chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules) i found i needed this.
then kill the adb server (./adb kill-server)
have at it again and you should be all good. (./adb devices) should show up now.
like i said im not hardcore. it took me some serious googling to get over this hump for me. i was wondering if this should be stickied so linux users with this issue can get passed it quickly. this is the first device i have owned that my ubuntu box didnt natively detect.

Download the one you want, unzip it and place it in a folder that's in your path, like /bin or something. Then you just use it in the terminal. Just typing moto-fastboot32 while give you the help. Flashing a partition is
Moto-fastboot32 flash system system.img
Or
Moto-fastboot32 flash preinstall preinstall.img

Permissions will need to be added for execution and be sure you cd to the correct location.
cd ~/Desktop
chmod 755 moto-fastboot32
./moto-fastboot32

Not sure if you can, however keep in mind that device must be in fastboot mode. All I do is put device in fastboot, plug it in and run a command
