Galaxy Nexus Linux Toolkit is Open Source! See the CODE
HOW TO EXECUTE:
Please extract the .tgz in the place you want, for example in /home/user
Open a terminal and type the following:
>[email protected]: cd "THE PATH WHERE IS THE unltlauncher.sh FILE"
>[email protected]: bash ./unltlauncher.sh
If you extract it in /home/user/unlt, the path to the .sh must be /home/user/unlt
so you have to type:
>[email protected]: cd /home/user/unlt
>[email protected]: bash ./unltlauncher.sh
Note: If you're running on a 64 bits Linux OS, please install 32 bits libraries. If you're running on Linux and you didn't configure UDEV rules for your device, please run the script with superuser permissions(sudo bash unltlauncher.sh)
Here are some SCREENSHOTS::good:

Nice to see that there are some Linux and Mac Tools

---

Thanks alot now i wont have to run boot camp.

---

Awesome little tool.
Unfortunately, I keep getting
Code:
< waiting for device >
when using the "unlock bootloader" option and nothing seems to happen.
Any idea what is going on here?
EDIT: Figured it out. Had to add a ruleset for the Nexus 5. Ugh, not fun, but this tutorial definitely helped:

Nexus 4 update
Is the latest update, KRT16S available in your Toolkit? I flashed a factory image, the other day, using your excellent toolkit and it was KRT160.
Sorry, got it now, thanks!

Uhmmm, I'm not sure and usually people can ask any question within a thread as long as it's on topic. First thing to do would be to do a search within the thread and then ask. Since the thread is only around 5+ posts and no mention of T-Mobile then I thought I'd ask. With that said, I guess I got my answer. Thanks

thanks a lot.. awesome..

This is a tool to unlock root etc. What I meant was, why would it not work on tmo device? These scripts have nothing to do with the carrier...

Sorry, I think I got a little defensive. There are some people who aren't..."helpful" when posting replies. You're right, it should work since its just scripts. I get a little nervous still when I unlock my bootloader on my phones. Thanks

Hey, Iv been a long time CM user ( since v. 3) anyways, I have used CM 5 and then used CM6
Im now convinced that the dream was built to run upto CM4 latest version. the dream is just too slow for anything higher
how can I sucessfully downgrade to CM4?... I tried installing one of my old CM4.2.14 and my phone would just hang in the G1 screen.
am I supposed to downgrade something else?...

Yes, you have to execute it everytime, or just type "bash" and the whole path to the .sh file. For example, if you have a folder called "nexustoolkit" in your Downloads folder, you can just type the following:
Code:
bash /Users/youruser/Downloads/nexustoolkit/unltlauncherosx.sh
But, if you do like this, it will start download all the folders again in your Home path (/Users/youruser/). That's why I do not recommend to do it like this.
You can also create a .sh file with the following and save it for example in /Users/youruser/Downloads/nexustoolkit/myfile.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /Users/youruser/Downloads/nexustoolkit
bash unltlauncherosx.sh
then to execute it you only have to type the following in the terminal:
Code:
bash /Users/youruser/Downloads/nexustoolkit/myfile.sh
This will not start download the folders again.
Hope it helps! :good:

Try running the toolkit with sudo, and tell me what happens.
Code:
sudo bash unltlauncher.sh
