It looks to me like the command is being called from a different location to fastboot-linux. Manually navigate to the folder. Edited November 12, 2010 by Gibbo501

Really stuck here and any tips/ideas would be much appreciated. Just to say the i did use 'sudo' not sud!!! And the responce is sudo: ./fastboot-linux: command not found I had already downloaded all the files and ive just searched for them in Ubuntu and copied to the desktop - could this have something to do with it? Ive not no problems using the previous instructions.

Sorry about the confusion - trying to sort this quickly and need to check what im typing. Im completely new to Ubuntu - how would i manually navigate to the folder in command window?
Guest rayraven Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) If you're just trying to root, get Universal Androot apk and install it on the phone. Open it up and click 'Go Root'. And, you're done. Edited November 12, 2010 by rayraven

In ububtu the phone just mounts as a normal SD card drive slide the top bar down on the phone and look in the USB item (once you have usb connected ) Edited November 12, 2010 by StevenHarperUK

If you Mount it - a new SDCard link/icon appears on your Desktop. Edited November 12, 2010 by StevenHarperUK

No probs - coming from a Unix development background helps, when playing with a phone, which is, essentially Unix :rolleyes:. In ububtu the phone just mounts as a normal SD card drive slide the top bar down on the phone and look in the USB item (once you have usb connected ) Altneratively, once you boot into Clockwork, in the "mounts and storage" option, you can mount your SD card via USB so your computer will see it :huh:.

Guest LostGeordie Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks - for some reason it doesnt seem to be giving me that option - i'll give the clockwork option a go!

Great I can now see it as a mass storage (2GB) - I creat a file called ROOT to place the rom.zip file into? I cant find one on there at present.

I cant find one on there at present. You don't need to do that - literally, just copy the .zip file onto the drive. Then in Clockworkmod choose the zip file to update from, and select that one. Simples :rolleyes:. didn't know that :huh: ta Hehe, I assumed it would be there, as I've come from a Hero with AmonRa which has that option. Edited November 12, 2010 by goatee

Guest goatee Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 just to say that i can see the following files as it stands: Android DCIM LOST.DIR z7logs Cheers That's about right - now copy the .zip file over :rolleyes:.

Oh really? I was under tha impression from my reading/ the guys guides that you put it into a ROOT file? Cool if not needed!
Guest goatee Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Oh really? I was under tha impression from my reading/ the guys guides that you put it into a ROOT file? Cool if not needed! Do they say the root of the SD card maybe? What they mean, is not to put it in a folder, as Clockwordmod only lets you choose a file from the root of the card.
Guest LostGeordie Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 All done - rooted, and flashed with new ROM Thanks for your help!
Guest goatee Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 All done - rooted, and flashed with new ROM Thanks for your help! Great stuff :rolleyes:. Glad to be able to help!
Guest Smiles Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Maybe i should open a new topic but i have the same problem except that the solution not worked. Now im already a few ours trying to get root access. But what I try I get the message: smile@smile-laptop:/media/DISK_IMG/ZTEBlade$ sudo fastboot-linux flash boot boot.blade.superboot.mcri.r3.img sudo: fastboot-linux: command not found I have already tried the live CD because im running 64bit, but this seems not to help. Also the command chmod u+x fastboot-linux didn't do the trick.... Someone a idee? I use this method: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...boot-root-mcri/
