I am trying to install on my nexus 10 Ubuntu. But every time I try to install
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install phablet-tools android-tools-adb
android-tools-fastboot Reading package lists... Done Building
dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to
locate package phablet-tools E: Unable to locate package
android-tools-adb E: Unable to locate package android-tools-fastboot
this appears. Could you please help me
Thanks
I guess you haven't added the PPA which has the tools you're looking for. From Ubuntu wiki's instructions
Setup the Touch Developer Preview Tools PPA
The PPA has the tools and dependencies to support Precise, Quantal, and Raring. Add the Ubuntu Touch PPA by adding the following custom source list entry to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
On your computer, press Ctrl+Alt+T to start a terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
or if add-apt-repository is not available, append the following to your sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/phablet-team/tools/ubuntu [dist-codename] main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/phablet-team/tools/ubuntu [dist-codename] main
*Note: replace [dist-codename] with precise, quantal, raring or saucy.
Then do the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install phablet-tools android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
I hope this is helpful.
Which version of Ubuntu you use?
On your computer, open a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
I faced the same issue on ubuntu 13.04 with nexus 4, I failed to install sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash so I tried to root the device using Ubuntu Nexus 7 Desktop Installer and I followed the instruction here DualBootInstallation. i worked ;)
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash. This also requires the Universe repository to be enabled.
