Newbie
When getting to the "./adb shell /data/local/psneuter" command i recieve this message, "A-G-MacBook-Pro:tools ag$ ./adb shell /data/local/psneuter mmap() failed. Operation not permitted"

can anyone help?
 
I'm sorry but I have no experience with rooting on macs, have you tried checking out this thread

Make sure your phone is being recognized by the mac I think the command would be "./adb devices" that should display any ADB devices the phone is seeing.
 
no,there is not a way to delete the thread. the prefered thing for you to do would be to list what you were doing wrong,so that it may help rooters in the future.

:)
 
You could PM a mod and see if they will delete it, I think they have that ability at least. But I do agree with Scotty I think there are a lack of mac experts around here so if you know what you did wrong and are willing to post it it could be useful to someone in the future.
 
Wow, and they give no credits to the thread they stole that info from. I was going to say scotty should update the sticky but I really don't think that is needed, the guide is almost exactly the same as the one in the sticky except it doesn't give credit and adds comments that are not needed. Hope it works for you.
 
i was hoping for something a little more specific than "using an old guide". what was in correct about this guide?

i was going to guess that you are entering all that in one command,like this:
Code: 
./adb shell /data/local/psneuter

wich is not really correct. you must enter the shell first,then issue the 2nd part of the command:

Code: 
./adb shell
then
Code: 
 /data/local/psneuter
