Rooting under Linux?

Hello! I need help to root my new P8000.

First of all, I'm on Linux and I don't have access to a Windows computer (and I'd rather avoid that anyway).

I followed the steps below several times with no success:

1) Enabled unlocking the bootloader on developer settings

2) Powered off my phone

3) Switched to fastboot by pressing VOL UP + POW and then selecting Fastboot

4) Tried to flash PhilZ Touch Recovery with "sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from terminal (the device is visible as it appears under fastboot devices)

5) Got the following error

What else can I try to root my P8000?
[Elephone P8000] bjbirch:
Download SuperSU app from Google playstore on to p8000, open SuperSU app, tap continue, tap normal,this should root your p8000
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
You unlocked in dev settings.

But you forgot to unlock the bootloader with fastboot.

[emoji14]
[Elephone P8000] jknarf:
Linux only, same here. :)

But you also can use latest spflash tool if you use a 64bit Linux flavour. It runs really great without any driver hassle.

Cheers

Any ideas on using Philz touch on marshmallow? I need root to fix IMEI >:(

If I flash it with fastboot the phone will no longer boot, same with SP flash tool, it just gets stuck in a reboot loop or when I try to boot recovery it just reboots into android.

It works in stock lollipop so I don't think it is my phone... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I bricked my phone with twrp. I flashed it because with phil x touch i couldnt make a backup. It always said not enough space on your sd card. Then i flashed revovery.img with flashify rebootet in recovery and made backup. everything worked fine. Than i powered my phone off with the option in twrp now. now display is black nothing hapens. Only with volume up and power button there are the options revory mode, boot, and fast boot mode i tried these three options nothing hapens still black display. :(

Use SP Flash Tool and flash your stock firmware and you're good to go. This is just a harmless soft brick. :)

You have a rom.zip? Then open it and take it out ..

Otherwise you can use a android terminal from PlayStore.. dd If=/Dev/block/mcclkb...to save it on SDcard.. But for that you need to know the right mcclkb block of your boot.img.

You will get it via adb and cat /proc/partitions

If the twrp you use is for your phone. Then just flash it twice with flashtools. And after that reboot direct to recovery.

Hello, sorry for off topic, I have a mt6757 based device and no working touch recovery, I can´t find path to drivers or do you know some guidance that explain what I have to do to get working? thx in advance
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Try that twrp

decompile it, after that decompile your stock boot.img

And take out the kernel z image. (Around 7mb)

Rename it to recovery z image, so it has the same name like the one in recovery.

Then copy it into the decompiled recovery folder and recompile it again..

Maybe it works.

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] awojtas:
After working on this since day 0 when WM6 was leaked I'm happy to now provide the solution to major problem I experienced on WM6. I post what I did now at 3am in the hopes it can help others.

* PLEASE NOTE : This has not been repeated as I'm happy my WM6 Treo now receives phone calls and I'm not about to repeat the long process in a hurry just yet :-) *

* In summary, a) unlocking Extended ROM and wiping it, then b) running the Treo 750 Recovery Tool -- seems to be the total solution.

Specs

===

Treo 750v Vodafone New Zealand running WM5 with 1.16VF (also tried another Treo with 1.15, same issue).

Updated to WM6 using AT&T ROM.

Vodafone NZ network is GSM900 with UMTS2100 and HSDPA.

Bootloader IPL/SPL 0.20 / 0.24.

Problem

===

Could not receive ANY calls. TXTs delayed. Voicemail notification delayed. Outbound calls intermittently working.

Any person calling received a "dit-dit-dit-dit---dit-dit-dit-dit" tone, the sound of a disconnected number.

The Treo did not display any notification of the new number. Really bad.. meant I couldn't use WM6.

Solution

===

Simply, remove all AT&T crap, and in fact prevent it from starting from the Extended ROM.

1. Hard reset your device, flash with WM6 from SD card. All good.

2. Unlock and unhide your Extended ROM. This is a bit of a pain and didn't seem to work at first for me. In fact, it unhide after first reset, but then if I hard resetted the Extended ROM magically came back. Follow this guy's progress: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1406616&highlight=extended+rom#post1406616 - I soft-resetted about 7x...

3. Delete files from Extended ROM (2 files). I copied them to my memory card first. You can extract them as a zip archive on your PC. Some interesting files in there. Who knows how to uncompress _PZE? (this isn't relevant to the solution btw! Just make sure you delete the files in Extended ROM).

3. I installed Total Commander *IN* the Extended ROM. Just for fun really, I thought it would be a good way of overwriting any existing files in there - as when i hard resetted earlier they came back.

4. *NOT NEEDED* [Thanks "Kaine79"]

5. Run the T750URT.exe "Treo 750 Recovery Tool" while your Treo is in bootloader. This is reallllly slow and takes a good 5 minutes plus.

6. Hard-reset. Follow wizard starting up... and hey you will notice straight away it defaults to "English (UK)" instead of "English (US)". If it does that -- you've got rid of the AT&T crap and now your phone can receive phone calls!

** PROBABLY HALF THESE STEPS ARE OBSOLETE ** I have left them all in, just so that someone else having the same issue as me, might run through and find out only 2 out of the 6 actually did anything relevant. But I don't know what those 2 are :-)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Kaine79:
Hi,

Thanks to your post I could fix tje problem about incomming calls !

Thank you very much !

I jumped step 4, if this could help the next one ;)
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] PsyberEMT:
Ok, I'm curious about something. Where are you getting the T750URT.exe file? The only place I could find it was in the official WM5 upgrade, after running it, it appears that it simply downgraded my radio firmware to an earlier version, is this the case or am I missing something blatantly obvious here?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] awojtas:
recovery tool

I found it while browsing Palm's NZ website. It's here:

http://www.palm.com/nz/support/downloads/treo/750vupdate_recovery.html

Downgrading the radio would sound right for fixing phone call problem.

Unfortunately I find HSDPA no longer works after running the URT. It's either a) I have HSDPA or b) I receive phone calls...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] miloszz:
Every 750v has problem with incoming calls after upgrade? Or only some of them (specified or random)? If it's because of radio, every single Treo should have this issue...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] SecureGSM:
Palm Treo 750v recovery tools downgrades radio to version. 1.12.0c.00. That's all it does.

[LG Optimus G Pro] RavingMiniac:
I have the LG E980 Optimus G Pro POS phone. Had it unlocked, inserted a cricket sim card and though I can sometimes make calls when it decides to connect, I very rarely get 4G or LTE, mostly its a little "E" with one or two bars of signal. The phone will not send photos but surfs the web on wifi with no issues.

I have read through this forum and found some workarounds with StraightTalk users but can't find anything for Cricket users. I have tried creating an APN with Crickets data but the Authentication Type is restricted from any editing leading me to believe that this phone is locked to AT&T's network regardless of what unlock codes I entered successfully.

When I attempt to make outbound calls the phone usually takes 3-4 attempts as it drops the call and forces me to redial eventually after enough tries it connects but the quality of the call suks monkey nutz.

I don't really know if rooting will help. I did try a workaround straight talk users were having success with where the APN was edited with the SIM card removed but even that was fruitless as the AT&T APN kept showing up over and over again once I reinserted a SIM card.

This phone is slated for air to wall impact testing very soon if this waste of money can't be fixed and my thoughts that AT&T locked this junk down turn out to be true. So if anyone is knowledgeable with Cricket networks using this phone any guidance is appreciated and in advance I humbly bow to your expertise in these matters. THANK YOU.
[LG Optimus G Pro] blake .l:
I use the phone on Cricket network and have had nothing but superb service, I had service with AT&T. I ordered my sim off ebay for Cricket inserted it went through the setup and all is fine. only thing I can think of is your phone is not unlocked... Mine is carrier and boot loader unlocked and rooted, only problem I had was I couldn't send picture mess... spot where you add the APN type was blanked out, that was on stock 4.4.2 I just went with a modded version of 4.4.2 and all is fine... blows att out of the water full bars lte all the time, Hope you get it figured out.. sure glad I switched....

U really dont need a unlocked att phone to use on cricket

Locked att phones work fine too

Cricket runs on the att network and is owned by att

I switched my s4 from att to cricket without unlocking

The cricket salesman also said any att phone would work since its the same network

You must have a diferent issue

I use my att e980 on cricket at this moment

Bought it off ebay and very happy with it

You need something like this.

http://www.amazon.com/SoundBot-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Wireless-Streaming/dp/B00RH29CJO

I have an Infiniti g35 and it has Bluetooth phone but no Bluetooth audio. It has aux jack in middle console under arm rest. I plugged that in there and let it rest in there close the arm rest and voila, done.

Most modern phones even allow you to connect to multiple bluetooth. So I have original car Bluetooth for phone and that model in link sb360 for audio. As long as it is anything other than a phone call it comes through the aux via the Bluetooth dongle.

Give it a shot. Worth every penny. That one is an example of course.

My Galaxy S3 (soon to be Nexus 6P) is connected to the car's bluetooth for the phone call bluetooth profile & the bluetooth dongle for the music profile. This allows me to stream music to my car and be able to receive/make phone calls via my car's bluetooth.
