I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't get any answers. (When I search, I keep finding threads asking the same question and being told to search...)
I know I've seen a thread somewhere with some info. If anybody knows where this is and can post a link...
I've downloaded the kernel source for 2.1 from samsung and have been able to compile it. I took a voodoo kernel zip and unzipped it - replaced zImage with mine, and zipped it back up. When I use clockwork to flash the zip file, it goes into a reboot cycle. I figure this should work since the kernel versions are the same and my kernel should just use the existing modules, (in the same way it appears the voodoo kernel does).
I'm guessing I'm packaging it wrong, but I'd like to see a whole build procedure to make sure I didn't miss anything.
EDIT: Also, I'm running Ubuntu and its getting annoying to boot back and forth between Linux/Windows to use ODIN. Are there better ways to test kernels?
Thanks in advance.
Did you add the ramdisk? I use odin in virtualbox under ubuntu. There's a thread in the i9000 development forum that explains how to do it.
The ramdisk is finicky as hell. It's much simpler to start from a known good one. The voodoo project has one posted. You can also extract one from a working kernel.
Damn that ramdisk. It seems that only one way of adding it to the kernel works. I could never get the gzipped cpio file to go into the kernel. Have to ungzip/cpio and create the stupid list. But thats probably your issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697938
This should have all the info you need to get started, need further help or clarification, can ask a dev. or do a google search
Thanks guys for the quick responses. I'm going to try and pack intramfs with my kernel and try again. I'll let you know how it goes.
A friend of mine found this link as well - I'll be trying to use that as well.

hi all,
i've been trying to figure out how to root my phone. i know that it's pretty straightforward (one click type thing) with a windows computer, but unfortunately i do not have access to windows, only to linux (debian) and i cannot seem to find any information about how to do this anywhere. i am familiar with the command line, but not a complete geekhead and do not know that much about phones... however, i did previously have a rooted hero.
many thanks in advance for any help,

I particularly have successfully flashed and rooted my phone many times using a virtual machine (VirtualBox) running Windows XP under Ubuntu. However there is a cross-platform software called Heimdall http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265 which can be used as an alternative to Odin. I have never used it, but search for it in this forums and you'll find lots of positive feedback of this software.
If, like me you decide to go for a VM instead, you'll just need to config the usb connections to be used by the VM. The rest is very straightforward.
By the time that I first rooted my SGS2, Heimdall had not yet been tested on this phone, and that's why I opted for the VM. As it worked perfectly, I continued using this. Otherwise, I would certainly have opted for Heimdall as it is natively supported by Linux.
By the way, always avoid flashing .PIT files (repartition), either on Odin or Heimdall. I've learnt here in this forums that flashing .PIT or ticking "repartition" on Odin is the major factor of bricking devices!!!

Heimdall will need a PIT file to know where to flash things to, just dont tick repartition.
Odin wont as its samsung shizzel.

Interesting, and makes sense. And in case you're only flashing a kernel or flashing a firmware packed into a single file, does it need the .PIT as well?
So, I have made a major boo boo when it comes to rooting devices and flashing custom ROMs; normally I am not a n00b when it comes to this, but I think I gone done something wrong this time. I have checked Diamondbacks thread as well as many other and have a whole slew of tools downloaded now and I cannot seem to get past the splash screen. ADB recognizes my device as well as Windows in Fastboot mode, just can't seem to figure out how to flash the stock ROM back on this device. I would be willing to donate money to the cause as this has cause me much undue frustration. If you are up and willing to the task, please PM me or even call my cell to walk me through this. Couldn't find XDA's chat, all I am asking is that someone have a heart and help a fellow techie out.

Not sure what recovery you have now but I suggest you go here >>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615990 and install twrp recovery through the fastboot method. Boot into trwp recovery. After that, download the nvflash files from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774352
Not saying you should use nvflash at this point but the file also contains a known good adb.exe file. Unzip the file and while in that directory press and hold the shift button while right clicking the mouse. This will bring up a menu select open command prompt here.
Put your rom into the same folder as the adb.exe then in the comand window type adb push /name of your rom.zip /sdcard/ if this doesn't work use /sdcard/media At this point you should be able to install the rom. As for the rom, a good starting point would be androwook rom since it seems to install quite easily (do not unzip). Also when you are performing commands in either fastboot or adb, it is best to copy (control c) from the webpage then in the command window right click and paste, this eliminates errors. Having the files you are flashing in the same directory of fastboot or adb eliminates the need to type pathways, this is where many people run into issues, 1 wrong letter make everything not work....
Thanks Gage_Hero, the TWRP tutorial was just what I needed in getting a custom ROM flashed to the device; however, my next question is, if I did not create a backup of the stock ROM like I should have, will I ever be able to get back to it should I need to update the OS or for any other reason? From what I have read, Asus stock ROMs have a unique ID to every device, making it virtually impossible to use someone else's backup for flashing. Much appreciated for any information you can provide.

Most people don't have a stock backup since once you are unlocked, trying to install the ota update can make the tablet inoperable. So basically when Asus updates the software then the developers here pick up the stock rom and enhance it. This goes anywhere from the base stock rom with root up to taking the rom and customizing it with options, kernel changes and such. The only thing I will say about changing kernels is only use kernels that were developed for the particular rom or you will have trouble. Kind of like taking a Ford motor and trying to mate it to a chevy transmission.
If you do change roms, make sure you wipe cache, dalvik and do the factory reset from within twrp. When you become comfortable, I suggest looking at the NVflash thread in the dev section. This will provide you with a bit of assurance that you can recovery from most software brick situations. Read over the instructions a few times before you go a head and take some time to read through the thread so you know what could potentially go wrong. It really isn't that difficult to do but you should be well informaed before proceding. If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask
Another thing that i find helpful, keep a stock rom in your sdcard. When i semi-bricked my 201, i was able to flash the stock rom using CWM, then do a factory reset. Once back to factory, i was able to boot and start over again.
i have been seeing a lot of threads about rooting this phone, but, they all have windows scripts, even the thread that is said to have a runme.sh does not have it in any of the links that i unzipped - only a runme.bat, but yet, people keep mentioning a runme.sh in it... also, i really don't see any one lying out the steps for doing this with linux.
i'm a noob, and dont really know much about this stuff, but i've done this ONCE before with a galxy exhibit, but it was very easy, i just copied a file to the phone (stock rom?), rebooted into recovery, told it to recover from that file, and i was done.
i have no idea how to do it with my new phone, and so i'm wondering:
1: where can i find the files i need to do this with linux - i just want root, nothing special
2: where can i find the steps necessary to do it - in the easiest manner possible?
3: it says i have droid 4.0.4, ICS, but every one who talks about lg l9 p769 says its JB, so, thats a bit odd...
any help is appreciated.

Your phone is running ICS 4.0, that is the version which it shipped with. Pretty much everyone on here has upgraded to JB either with software update on the phone or they have manually updated with the offline KDZ flash method.
I dont have any experience in linux so I cant help. I hope you can get your phone rooted!

i just started to restart my phone into recovery mode to see if i could put cyenogenmod on it without having to root it first, and it's saying "software upgrade ... please wait while upgrading...", so, i guess it's upgrading to JB right now... i'll see shortly.
but even if it does upgrade to JB, i still wouldn't know how to do it on linux. i figured there would just be some files to download, and a sequence of adb commands that i could type into bash, but, i'm kinda lost. i guess i'll wait and see if it upgrades to JB before asking more questions.

Option #1
If you are rooted on stock T-Mobile 10e or 10g ROM and have the CWM installed from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825 follow my instructions.
Place one of these CWM ROM images on your SD-Card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136204
Place this JB radio firmware from T-Mobile 20d ROM on your SD-Card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256350
Power off the device.
After power on the back/menu capacitive buttons will flash repetedly. Press Volume down while the lights are flashing and the phone should go into recovery.
Flash the ROM first.
Flash the radio second.
Reboot.
***Notes***
1.) 20d is the latest T-Mobile, 21b is the latest Wind Mobile. Both work.
2.) 21b is lighter/faster but has no wifi-calling.
3.) 21b will require you to manually enter your APN settings for cellular data and MMS. Be sure to write down your APN settings before flashing this ROM.
4.) Some users say battery life sucks on JB. I notice that 21b is better on battery life than 20d.
Option #2.
In Linux install a Windows VM and follow the standard instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465
Use KVM with a GUI or even easier use VirtualBox.
I'm a die hard linux geek too. I even run linux at work while all of our msp software was written for windows. You are better off just running an old copy of xp inside virtualbox trust me its just easier that way. You can use adb if you like (its the same thing the windows users use in their batch files and just rewrite the bash script, but you will save yourself lots of headaches just using virtualbox. -- my .02

# what's the unlocked boot loader FOR - why do you need this - what does it do?
# what's the difference between unlocked boot loaders and being rooted?

all some one like ME needs, is root access, so that i can edit the /etc/hosts file and test mobile compatibility of web apps on the development server before making them live - and to remove t-mobile damned bloat-ware. i hope this helps others who are trying to understand the basic concepts of getting control over the phone they paid money for.

My bad. I should have read through your original question all the way before posting. I see that you are not rooted.
If you are on 10e ROM you can root in Linux:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990705
It will require rewriting the batch script as a Linux shell script. It is possible but nobody has done it yet.
If you are on 10g you will need Windows. I have also answered your questions below.

It allows you to boot an un-signed kernel. You can boot custom ROMs basically.
# what's the difference between unlocked boot loaders and being rooted?
Root allows you to `su -` to the root user and own the whole system.

No.

those steps assume i have CWM installed, and i don't. i looked at installing CWM, and it doesn't have an official recovery app for the p769, and when i went to look at that thread you linked to, it says you must be rooted already. this is the aggravating part of us ignorant people dealing with people who know many things: it appears to us that you have to do some thing that requires that it is already done before you can do it. it doesn't make any sense - just a bunch of circualar requirements, with no beginning.
so, let me ask this a different way: how do i reboot into recovery mode, on a STOCK LG P769 v10g? the lights do not flash, and i'm assuming that is a CWM feature - but CWM is not installed - this is COMPLETELY STOCK - fresh out of the box. so, what do you press, when turning it on, to make it go into recovery mode, so that you can recover from a pre-rooted rom (which i am still looking for)?
i just want to "recover" to a pre-rooted rom, that's it, so that i can delete bloatware and edit the /etc/hosts file (for web app testing). this thread says you cant do this for LG phones http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174767 - i got the same result the last guy got . trying to borrow a windows computer now...
also, does any one know if it is safe to put a jelly bean rom onto a device that was using ice cream sandwich? is there a difference between the versions that would brick the device? is it not recommended, or is it highly recommended?
thanks again. sorry for all the confusion.
you know, as a side note: it may help more noobs understand this stuff if there was a sort of simplified glossary, perhaps as an official site thread, for the orientation of noobs, that would give an outline of the basic concepts, AND their order of operation. exmaple: "rooting is when you... bootloader unlocking is when you... CWM is for people who want to... you MUST do A before you can do B and then you can optionally do C if so desired...". that would help them understand where to START, then, where to GO next.
well, borrowed a windows computer and i got it rooted, but, i found out a few things about this exact model: it has no "boot to recovery" option, by default - it's locked down pretty good. you can not use any of the other root methods on this model, and you can not do it from linux (f*ck me).
so, that long-winded fake-software-update-while-switched-out-a-hex-edited-binary-file is the ONLY way for this exact model, it seems...

I've decided to help you out This page will give you some more info on the P769 and several kdz (roms) for the P769
The fastest way to root is to flash the V21B kdz (this is the Jelly Bean version for Canada) using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36351786
The reason why you want this rom is because it has a vulnerability that is easy to exploit with Jcase apk
Once your followed everything (and rooted), install Super Su and Busybox
Next install artas182x second init CWM (in case you can't find it on his page, the link is here )
Note: you will see blinking led lights when you see the LG logo (booting up) appear after a couple of seconds. To enter the CWM press the vol (-) when the lights start flashing.
After you installed Artas182x CWM you can recover from someones clockworkmod backup.
following info from Cmahendra's thread
Note: only restore CWM backups from P769 versions or MS769!!!!
Or check out the V10B (MetroPCS "JellyBean") CWM backup
Now the only 2 reasons to unlock the bootloader are:
1. Install a safer and better CWM
The reason why is because Artas182x CWM is a second init (bootstrap), so if you mess around with a busybox apk and something goes wrong or you remove a file that is required (for CWM), it will stop operating. You will have to reflash the kdz or fix what you changed to get it working again.) I've had this problem several times while messing around with different busybox apps and etc.
2. Custom roms
(which you stated you are not looking for) not worth talking about right now.
Answer to questions
The only pre rooted roms are clockworkmod backups, lol
The default recovery is useless to us (unless you feel like solving the problem)
Flashing back and forth (ice to jelly) comes with risk, the program used on Windows to flash is buggy at times. The best way (in my opinion) is to flash only when really required and mostly restore from clockwormod backups. The device is actually hard to hard brick, but it will require at lot more knowledge to get your device running again.
