If in RW mode

If you sudo apt-get update
then sudo apt-get install curl

then go to the site put in email address / device name and generate a token

then ssh into phone either over air or presuming you have ssh enables 
adb shell

then type sudo -s

which gives you root in shell

then type crontab -e   (i select nano to open)

opens the cron as root

make a small change like put a space in then there is changes to save 
and makes the cron for the root user

then the script the site gives you (selected linux) when you generate token
just copy and paste that in as the root user and your done.

this should start tracking the  phone
if the tracking doesnt update which it hasnt im my partners but is on 
mine the cron will need to run as a dbus cron
which in going to add to the bottom of the article on my blog and im 
going to test as a 15 min cron and see battery consumption for better 
tracking.

i can make a quick video if that helps
