Does heimdall work for i9100G?

I looked around on heimdall site, github page as well as searched this forum but didn't manage to get any information on whether it works for i9100G or not. I got a i9100G recently and am looking to root it now. I only have Linux on my machine so I cannot use odin.
I have been used to heimdall on SGS and I believe it is used by i9100 users too.
If heimdall doesn't work then what other alternatives do we have that can be used from Linux?

I think you can use phone odin, I've read in some post that it works well

Use odin
odin should do the trick for u...tere are many tutorials to use odin and its quite simple

There's odin for Linux?

Are there any ways to root without requiring to connect to PC? All the methods I saw require Windows.

I think you need a windows to root your phone ...after rooting your phone can do everything directly from the it

Oh well! Will have to head somewhere to find a Windows machine which is safe enough. Hope heimdall will be able to support this device.

You can use Heimdall on Linux with your G, i used it while my windows-machine was broken.

Thanks then I'll go ahead and root my phone using heimdall.

Thanks everyone.
Heimdall does indeed work for i9100G. Happy to have my device rooted now. Feels good.

Stop posting questions in dev forum. This forum is for dev topcs not newbie help desk. Go to Q&A forum or general.

Sorry about that. The breakup of sections is what confused me. I thought this was the only section for i9100G.

hi
Hope I am posting in the right place as I am new to this.
I have a galaxy N-7000 and was using recovery to put Paranoid rom on my phone.
It started to install it then stopped and the screen went blank.
I cant switch the phone on nor can I use vol/up+ power+ menu button.
I also cannot get it into download mode and when I connect it to the computer it dos'nt see it.
I know I have probably ruined the phone but am hoping beyond hope someone can help
Thanks for anything.

Are sure battery was charged quite good?
If possible try to manage for it if you have low while start flashing.
And this shud goes to Q/A section.

I don't know what is a jig usb, but you should be able to flash a kernel with pc-odin and reboot recovery again.

PS:in stock recovery mode. vol up and down are used for navigation and power button used for choosing.
hope this helps

You want to root or use custom rom?
If just to have root access, you can try with enoxy abuse 1.4. If you want to flash rom then you need to flash philz kernel and flash your desired rom. You could check up wotj chain fire's guide or Dr.ketam. They are both great contributer

What is the used of custom rom?

some custom rom can tune your phone make it faster than stock. Eg. you can overclock or underclock your processor. Change your screen default dpi to lower resolution, customize your own theme, changing your system cache files to make your phone response faster and etc....
Root access is actually administrator mode for linux and andriod.

Hey , Chill out buddy. Dagger is right, when you sign to xda you are presented the rules which you have to follow. Being a noob does not excuse him from using the search engine or going through the stickies. Forums need to be clean from flooding the same question in multiple threads. Besides, you are reading his question but not answering or guiding him....so, I guess you are not helping either.
Nobody is saying that the question is not fine, but saying that just a little research would have answered that. There is a whole thread in the development forum called How to root/unroot by Dr. Ketan's that is amanzingly thorough...it is as easy as reading that.

Cole hii, the build version determines what kernel you need to flash. As you are on Stock ICS 4.0.4 with DXLR5 build version, the Philz kernel you need to flash is this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?c2jmfqnwajw8ei1
This will give you safe kernel (to avoid brick bug), CWM recovery and Root access.
You have to flash the file this way (this video might help but is in spanish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EPWIvIoEF8):
Download the kernel signed .zip file and put it in your external sdcard
Boot in stock recovery (press home + volume up + power and keep them pressed until you see the splash screen)
In the blue recovery menu, select install update from external storage and install the kernel file
reboot and you are done
Custom roms are all different and have their own instructions on how to flash them. So the best is to read what the dev of that particular rom tell you to do. In all roms you flash you will need to do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) and some other will require to format some partitions, that is why is so important to be on a safe kernel.
Hope it helps. :good:

OK..the post above me is quite good..if u want more detailed one..pm me

Can't down load update

I have kingroot installed no custom rooms and software version 4.3. I have tried to update my software and it stops at about 25% every time. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

You will have to do the Restore to MJ5 tutorial in the general section.
Root normally screws up the update.

What if i wanted to remove everything from the phone root/safestrap and go back to stock?

Root doesn't screw up the update- Kingo does. I was in your exact shoes.
I did the MJ5 restore, rooted, did the OTA update and then did step 10 again for root. Works perfectly. Then I did Drakey's GPS Fix and now everything works great.

Perhaps anecdotal, but I went in circles with Kingo. Couldn't unroot, couldn't update. Its method of rooting is not the same as other 'conventional' ways.
After restoring and rooting via the MJ5 restore process, I updated to NB4 with no issues. I didn't need RootCloak or anything of the sort. There are others. I haven't read of others successfully updating w/Kingo root. I could be wrong.

I did remove the root using kingroot web site but the safestrap was still there. I could not up date the phone. So i reinstalled kingroot again and iam back to square one, a rooted phone but cant up date.

I have been buried in XDA threads for a few years trying to learn as much as I can (thanks for that by the way)
The title of this thread is Can't download update so I hope I am asking this in the right place.
Plus over time I have come to learn that jerrycoffman45 is damn good at this stuff...
First off when I go to the MEGA site (https://mega.co.nz/#!Hd1QnA7b!MV5i7du4oim9zKLArQl51tTYiymqIXMhaALsMjFHRyQ) to download the "Coming from JB" for KNOXRAID KITKAT ROM V5.1 it works normal until it gets to 99 percent.
I've tried it on all 4 of my computers with the same result = is there another way I can get it?
Secondly, after I install the AllianceROM (thank you RErick) and am setting it up, my phone starts playing the boot animation like it keeps restarting like every other minute or so.
I really want to use the AllianceROM and could not find anything related to this when searching the thread or the entire forum.
Any help would really be appreciated!!!

Try using Internet Explorer or Chrome to download from Mega. It is a picky site.
Try to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. I have had to do that a few times right after installing a ROM to get it to boot properly.

I used to reed these threads and told myself that I would not waste the developers time with questions I could find the answer to my self...
That being said I did follow the instructions to the tee
I also tried creating a new fresh slot in safestrap and wiped it and flashed it a number of times following the examples given at different points of the threads
I have learned to follow the process that drakeymcmb has posted (wipe 3 times flash twice) on every install I do especially it its not working
I have 3 separate zip files downloaded to cover the corrupt file issue BUT I have not tried graydiggy's suggestion
If that does not work I will PM you if I figure out how to do that...

[Q] Can't enable pen mode

Hi guys, first post here and that's why I dindn't post on the original development thread.
I have a Sony Xperia Z1 C6946 which it is rooted and with the 4K/120fps mod working. I have followed the instructions on the thread to enable the pen writing but I can't get the mod to work. I did try with the 3 metods and none of them work. The app does nothing (it should give a message saying it is enabled). Someone has a clue?

Good job you didn't post your QUESTION in the original development section as QUESTIONS are posted in the QUESTION AND ANSWER section.
Now, please tell us which rom, which kernel and which download link you have used to install the pen mode, because it works fine for me.
