HOW do I execute Impactor on Linux?

I am running Arch Linux, and developer website has no instructions to execute it for Linux.


I have all 4 files ready to be used, but there is no info about running it on Linux.


*Please Help* anyone, thanks.


It is exhausting going through the same links over and over for Linux Rooting methods. I am willing to use Odin if I have to, but I cant seem to find instructions on that either.


Any help ASAP is appreciated!

HOLY GOD,

OK, I ran Impactor in Wine on Chakra/Arch (recent/current as of Feb 2014)


I first unplugged the phone, then pressed START,

It gave back an error that no device was installed.


I plugged in the phone, and hesitantly clicked START,


It ran its process in a few seconds,


My phone screen blinked as the top slide-down bar flicked halfway down, then back up,


The application completed.


I ran SUPERSU, it worked.


I ran "AM I ROOTED,"


It shows back, Status: Rooted!



Looks like Impactor it works in Wine! I won't say this as a Gospel Testimony, but it worked for me!

Yea. Make sure your careful when installing a recovery. I got into a cwm loop. You can get out by installing the stock recovery

Does it? Never tried. Also Is your location a Kingdom Hearts reference?

Yeah I saw it somewhere on xda I think. I could be mistaking it for something else though. Is this how you flash cwm [Recovery][CWM] SGH-T599- Working - xda-developers ? And yeah it is. One of my favorite games.

Ran my problem by on xda and got some updated links

Which recovery, and which version of odin are you using? Also make sure you're using a USB2.0 port (not the usb port that has blue in it), so try switching around.

Here is a more up to date version of odin: http://d-h.st/hSj
Here is a more up to date version of CWM: https://www.4shared.com/file/KNCQYlZ4ce/t599n-kk-recoverytar__2_.html

No need to run Odin with admin privileges, and make sure the phone is in download mode (turn off phone, press volume down home and power button simultaneously and then press volume up when prompted). Make sure the usb wire is plugged in correctly on both ends.

Does that updated version work without any problems?

Yes as long as you don't use a third party application

[KageBeast]

What do you mean?

Sorry didn't finish typing and left my phone unlocked. Don't use an app to reboot to recovery

Ohh yeah I did see people were having problems with that. I'm used to pressing the he buttons to boot to recovery anyways.

By the way the link for the drivers aren't available in that thread on xda anymore.
