I know under Windows, it is quite easy to use ODIN to flash my phone, but I was wondering if there's a way to do it under Linux? I run Kubuntu 14.04. Is there anything similar to ODIN under Linux?
Heimdall runs on windows Mac and Linux. Or just use mobile Odin pro from playstore
is there a GUI frontend for it?

Does anybody know how to root a gtablet using a mac computer.
I have searched through several websites and gone through the instructions, and
now am stuck in clockworkmod.
I next tried to nvflash, but get stuck at the stage where you go into apx mode and can't do this instruction:
Click on computer icon-->Properties --->Device Manager -->right click APX and choose update driver.
Is it just a matter of finding the mac equivalent instruction and if so, what is it?
I have thought about turning my mac into a windows machine and then going through the instructions, but this requires partitioning my computer into part windows and part mac- which i want to avoid because it involves decreasing the mac memory portion. Another option is just borrowing a friend's PC to root my computer.
Any other suggestions? Thank you!
There is no Mac native nvflash. I use Ubuntu Linux running in VirtualBox. It doesn't require partitioning your Mac just set up a virtual drive for it and it has the added benefit of not needing special drivers for APX mode.
I was getting prepped to get my unlock code and was finding out how to install Android sdk and adb on this site:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Went to System Requirements and for Windows it only lists XP And 7.
Would that be only if you're going to actually write something for Android? Atm the only windows computer I have up and running is my Vista laptop. I suppose I could try pulling out my old XP desktop system but I don't think it can even use my new monitors. I do have a nice Mac desktop running Snow Leopard but I prefer to do my hobby stuff on Windows as I'm much more comfortable with tinkering on that. I'm much more mystified by OS X than Windows.
I'm running 64-bit Vista and had no problem with ADB. The .zip I got was "android-sdk_r16-windows" and had a flawless unlock/ root process.
That said, I did have to do some more advanced settings within Windows. If you have any troubles let me know and I'll hunt down the ADB tutorial that I followed.
I've been using it on a 32 bit vista. Works fine

Yeah, basically, or virtual machine. You need ODIN to root, and there's no ODIN for mac as far as I know. I just booted into windows in boot camp on my laptop.
I did set up a Windows 7 Virtual Machine using VMware on the mac mini in my office, and it worked fine to flash via ODIN as well, so that's also an option if you don't want to actually make a windows partition.

Google Heimdall. That is the way to root with Mac or Linux.

ODIN for OS X
Windows ODIN wrapped in a wine wrapper in order to work in OS X:

So, as a noob, with an ATT Galaxy note, and a mac book pro. Is there a step by step guide for the use of the Odin/wine wrapper file?
Am a Linux (Ubuntu) user that knows my way around adb and fastboot.
I have only seen instructions how to root SGS3 by using Odin. Odin seems to be a Windows program. How do I root with Linux?
Hi again. I am just curious, has anybody tried and got the drivers installed properly on a Mac host Windows guest Virtual machine? I've also tried this on a windows laptop, but it has problems with the update tool. While Windows on VBOX doesn't have these problems, though it can't properly install S/W upgrade mode drivers. Any ideas? DD

I just installed "Parallels Desktop" (instead of VirtualBox) and it worked like a charm, in case someone has the same problem I had
