Root Help please. Rooting on Mac?

[Dr. Dank]

Can someone please tell me how to root this phone only using a Mac? What commands are different?

Boot up Windows using Boot camp.
That's what I did.

 

[BackHandLegend]

Or dual boot windows for the best of both worlds

It can all be done easily on a Mac -- the only part that I used an emulator for was S-OFFing the phone.

For the commands using the Android SDK (if you've downloaded the mini SDK), use Terminal and substitute "./<command>-mac" for the original command; e.g.

./adb-mac reboot bootloader

instead of

adb reboot bootloader

, and

./fastboot-mac

instead of

fastboot

.

You can also transfer stuff to your phone by connecting it to your Mac using a micro USB cable and choosing 'Mount as disk drive' when you plug the cable it. The phone's SD card will be mounted as 'NO NAME' and you can drag 'n' drop files on to it.

Did you have any specific questions?
