I apologize in advance if there already is a thread on this, but I couldn't find anything. Any way to possibly run Linux off of a USB stick or dual boot or anything? I saw the thread about natively running it but I was just curious as to whether or not there is a way to run both? (Android and Linux)
Yes, there's a thread on it, in the dev section.
This thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158260
Does it talk about Linux on USB? Or is it just referring to installing it instead of the android os?

Why don't you read it and find out? I've not been following it so don't have a clue.
I did read it.. not much help..

There are several step by step guides.no.apk. or complete done for you. Zip file.it does require Linux knowledge. Im not comfy with the procedure when it gets easier I might give it a try.but my tab does as I need for now.

There has to be a guide somewhere for those of us that have no idea how to get rooting done. Toast, Unrevoked..Geez! Where do you begin?
I am a convert from winmo so this is all new to me...I am fairly clear with Toast's instructions, but a video or pic tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I did some moderate reading on this, and would still feel far more comfortable "seeing" it done!

you begin with the post entitled "{tutorial} how to root \0/" in the Android Dev section. i'd post a link, but i'm a lowly new user.
looks like windows adb utils are included in the evo-recovery zip, i'm on linux and had the android sdk installed anyway.
Adb is in the android sdk.
Follow the instructions in the tutorial in dev section.
Cmon guys work a little for it.

i think folks who are new to this need a guide to all the acronyms floating around. i mean how many new users konw what "adb" is? its Android Debugging Bridge...
there just needs to be a fundamental guide.. nuts and bolts.. to get people in tune with the process THEN they can start the actual root sequence...

There are really tons of stuff, you just need to search in the development section.
Anything worth doing takes effort. All the answers are around if you look. Not trying to sound snarky or elitist but just like you I had to spend time looking for my answers.

That's the point. Go read and learn something instead of being lazy. The scripts being posted earlier were screwing up people's phones. I'll also add the wiki to the OP.
thanks for advice, i'm symbian retired and hacking symbian more easier than this shift one .
i will try to read from the begining, coz 1 mistake and my fone will dead forever, coz no HTC service center in Semarang-Indonesia X_X

Is there a linux version of this? I've had trouble with Wine and I'd rather not risk running the Windows .exe on Linux.

The .exe of what? Have you read the thread? If you did, you'd know the RUU or the HTC sync exe is not a required step.
adb works on linux without drivers.

Hi all,
I just registered on xda after I rooted my Arc yesterday (thank you all for the tutorials).
I've searched for a way to root my Xperia Arc, I've also found 1000 different ways to do it but none could provide me a step-by-step guide to root my Arc on my mac.
Yes, I know it might be strange (some comments, I've seen) to buy an Android phone when you own a mac but I like Android phones. Besides I don't think it is any different from buying an Android phone when you own a PC or to buy an iPhone when you own a PC.
That said, it didn't make it easier for me to root because almost all guides are written for Windows.
My intention is to write a step-by-step guide on how to root on macosx. I figured it would be a better idea to ask:
1. if it has already been done (Maybe my searches were not that good)
2. and if not, if some Arc users need such a guide?
Thank you all for the replies!
People usually just use Windows as attempts at using a MAC usually fail.
From My Arc Running CyanogenMod.7.1
Alright, so not worth it?
I know you can run a VM to run all necessary programs but assuming you can't run Windows (no CD), you're kinda stuck.
It would obviously help those with a Mac, but I think this would also require some Dev input which is why most people give up and end up using Windows.
From My Arc Running CyanogenMod.7.1
Oh yes, I know and I wasn't actually referring to myself, DooMLoRD made a bash script to root on Mac OSx.
I just wanted to detail the steps I've done to root my Arc on Mac OSX in a more comprehensive way for noobs (like myself) and credit the members (like DooMLoRD) for their work.
It's just because as a noob when you search on the forum for a way to root on MacOSX, you find yourself with ton of advice but no tutorials like on Windows.
I'm certainly not an expert in this, but can't you boot Linux from a disk or flash drive and root it using Linux?
You just made my life easier, Linux I can run, I wasn't aware of the possibility. I figured if there weren't any for MacOSX, it was the same on Linux. Thank you very much! I'll drop the idea of the guide and try to learn a bit more instead
I'd still do a guide for people, that way at least we can link people to it who need it.

Where should I post this "guide"?
This would be great guide actually since I'm also a mac user but it always pains me to go back to using windows for certain tasks lol

You were warned to do a full nandroid backup before you proceed to flash Ubuntu. Next time you flash, make a backup. I would like to give you a in-depth on how to revert back to android but I'm in class at the moment. (LOL. Sorry. I hope someone will help you soon!)
Suppose you could read the guide Ubuntu posted on their FAQ on how to go back to Android...but then again that's far to easy
Here's the link as I'm feeling generous this afternoon...

i tried this in this afternoon but nothing happen. is there any another way?
just flash any rom/stock rom/nandroid backup through the recovery that ubuntu installed on your phone.
you don't have a rom to flash on your phone?
use ADB to push it to your phone when you're in the recovery.
FFS why can't people read simple guides and use their brain for a second?
could you please help me more clearly, im noob and try to reinstall but not working !!

If you're a n00b why on earth did you flash something so radically different? Surely you thought to know the restore routine before hand?
Read efrant's guide in General, it has every step in there. If you can't follow that then you're on your own...
finally i can reinstall anroid to my phone using adb push thanks so much
So you didn't even follow efrant's guide? What's the point in asking for help if you don't bother to take it when offered?

See the sticky thread in the general forum.
Read that but either it's confusing or not enough explanation on how to get it
It's one of those things where u just have to 'do' it rather than trying to understand what you have to do, it that makes sense, lol. The first step is to just get linux installed and if you don't have any knowledge of Linux, that is a major mission in itself if you're a Windows based person like me....retrieving your uid is not gonna be a 5 min affair be prepared for a good day or two....people here can only help u once you've made some sort of attempt to at least try to follow the guides that others have put together. If you've read the thread you will see that others with no experience have had success with the Linux method. Give it a go you have nothing to lose at this stage!!

Read and/or ask specific questions about the parts you don't understand.
