Is it save to flash with Odin, using a x64 Windows 7 version. Im asking this cause x64 is know to give some issues in the past.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Never had an x64 issue on about fifty flashes .As long as you get the drivers installed should work .
jje
^ Yep, On x64 for almost two years, no problem at all.
Thx all, gonna try soon.
Still a bit worried.
Havn't owned any Samsung devices yet.
So not experienced with the way of flashing rooting etc.
For custom roms, You only need odin once. After that it's cwm all the way

Can anyone point me in the right direction with rooting my galaxy ace.
I'm using Ubuntu and have the stock 2.2.1 firmware on my phone.
Have tried to run superoneclick with mono but cant even get that running.
Thanks in advance

Of course. Have a look at the dev section and specifically the rooting/flashing/modding STICKY post at the top!

thanks, this is were i first looked. it all seems to be for windows. will look again
So I tried and tried and tried again to get superoneclick to recognise my phone last night and failed. It hung after starting ADB connection. Would not continue no matter what I tried. Anyone encountered this problem or even tried superoneclick using Ubuntu?
I have looked for a script to run to achieve root but can't find one, as I can use ADB manually. Very frustrating.
Can't even update firmware with Sammy software cos it needs windows

I'll keep searching.

Use ClockworkMod and upd_1.zip, can all be done on your phone. No need for a pc

odin is for windows only i believe, which i dont have, dagnabbit!
i am looking at heimdall although it is not supported and nobody seems to have tried it. atleast not from my quick searching. ill continue to look.
so if i cant root 2.2.1 with linux then i should look at updating firmware to 2.3 and then i can root with standard recovery and a zip update?

I thought u couldn't flash ur ace via odin? O.O
I use odin in my win7 home edition.
but my KIES has some problem. I never used KIES for the last 6 months.
I'm eagerly awaiting my S III which is on pre-order. This will be my first Samsung device. I've noticed on my prior Android devices (OG Droid, Droid Incredible, Droid X, Toshiba Thrive) how much difference there is in rooting, ROM'ing, CWM, etc., so I expect there to be a learning curve with the Samsung. Could someone take the time to explain the basics to a Samsung newbie? I see that to root I'll need an "ODIN" file. I only see these in windows .exe format and not in Linux. Is there an ODIN function for Linux?
Even I'm searching with the same thing. I've switched from htc and things get different. Its much simpler in Samsung. Even though the odin might run on linux using WINE, but I suppose every where they write that we also need drivers for the mobile already installed. I'm confused with how to install drivers.

use heimdal to user odin... I how it was useful.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
Yep Odin is windows specific .. your gonna wanna use Heimdal. Though.. I think zedomax has a video showing hiw to do this on Linux. Haven't looked inti it myself.

Ouch... failed to boot 2 errors are from trying to downgrade. ??? You might get lucky and flash a SBf using RSd.

This is exactly why ALL Android phones should come with Bootloaders unlocked. It's such a fail safe for end users to fix their phones.
YEAH I know companies don't like users flashing ROMS, but this is Android. If companies have an issue with it, then don't make Android phones. Samsung obviously doesn't have an issue with that.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE MY ATRIX!, but it still blows that we needed to do all the end user work on our time to make this phone great...

His original problem was simple to solve. Gingerblur used a bootstrap apk to boot into cwm (this is talking before we even had official gingerbread like a year ago). That bootstrapped version of cwm wouldnt allow him to flash anything new. All he would've had to do was flash a version of cwm with rom manager and boot into recovery. (Probably should wipe as well). U guys mucked him up good.
Pretty sure his phone was mucked up from the get go. He had err 2 since I replied...
Once you have errors like this you must sbf flash the latest 2.3.4?? Pudding firmware

This is not really S3 related, I know, but it concerns the S3 in a way. Right, so I'm planning on moving to Linux again and leaving W7 since I never play any Windows games anyway on my laptop (I have my PS3 for that) so how will I go about flashing .tar files to my S3 when the need arises? I know ODIN doesn't work on Linux.

I can't answer the Linux question BUT you could always use Mobile Odin from the Play Store and do this directly on your phone. I've used it quite a lot when I haven't had access to a PC.
Regards
Oh yeah, I forgot all about Mobile Odin
you can't use ODIN on linux, use heimdall instead.
http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
Run the Odin file through the kitchen and you get a deodexed rom with root that you can flash in CWM
Have not tested but may be use wine to run Odin on *nix .. not sure it works or not .

I think you will struggle with the drivers, I haven't looked for them but I haven't seen them for download either.

Heimdall doesn't work on GS3, so you're pretty much stuck with mobile odin (which is basically a good thing ).
Edit: Apparently it works just fine!

Pretty sure it worked on Mac OS for me, Mountain Lion I think. Isn't the mac version quite similar to the Linux version?

Heimdall works just fine, here although no suite for 1.3.2 on Linux x64 no biggie though I use cli for flashing recoveries and mobile ODIN for bigger tasks

Coolbeans, I couldn't get it to work a couple of months back on my Arch - most probably a user error.
I'll edit my previous post to avoid confusion.
