Hey i was wondering if there were any instructions for rooting on a mac. Or if someone could write up some mac instructions for me.
I have had no problem putting the PB00IMG on my phone and using that but I have had trouble with the instructions for the adb and pushing the recovery images over.

Hey guys,
I understand that this thread exists. I have read through many pages and still cannot get this to work for me. I would love to root the phone however i cannot get it to work with my Macbook running Snow leopard. Please help I am a noob to this kind of stuff but would love a root. The reason it doesn't work for me is because I get to push everything but then my phone cannot be found in terminal. Please help guys!!!!
I just used Bootcamp. Installed Windows on my iMac. Downloaded Samsung drivers, Super One Click, and un-rooted. I think that's easiest. Just get on a windows pc or BootCamp.
I had a similar problem. I could get everything pushed except for superuser. I had to download it from the market directly. Also it could be your rom. I was having problems connecting to my mac until the ED01 release. Make sure you are on that version. The best write up I found was in the android central forums by Cory Streater. Worked like a charm except the super user problem. Hope that helps a little.
Just use heimdall to flash cwm, then flash a rom that is rooted

Have you done this personally? From what I understand and have actually found out from experience is that because of a faulty secondary bootloader the Samsung fascinate cannot have files flashed to it via heimdall or even with Odin running windows via virtual machine on a Mac. Bootloading a fascinate via Mac = not possible. Someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong.

If you can get the use of a PC there is a file you can flash to your phone that will root it. Let me know if I can help you.

There is a native mac version of heimdall...the front end gui doesn't work last I checked but the command line sure does

Mac + Heimdall is not the problem. Mac + samsung fascinate bootloader is the problem. You can install the fascinate drivers on a mac and you can mount your sd card with a mac but when you try to put the fascinate into download mode (access the bootloader) with a mac it will not work because of a faulty secondary bootloader. So, basically you can get heimdall pulled up on a mac but it won't let you flash anything to it. At least this has been my experience. If you know something I don't please share. I have a macbook pro and I am screwed in this regard.
Weird, I was able to put mine in download mode and flash the modem.bin file on my wifes mac...though never tried a rom or recovery...i normally use heimdall on archlinux though...i did the modem the one time on a 10.5 macbook pro.
If nothing else I guess u could use bootcamp to install windows and do it that way instead of vm...

Okay, so I have tried every way of rooting my optimus v. The fastboot root , manual adn commands , superoneclick, but none of them work. I've followed every direction step by step.
When I use superoneclick and click shell root it gets to about the 5th line and reads pushing psneuter. Error

Gingerbreak worked for me...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
+1 for gingerbreak. just download it and run
adb install *file*
or on a mac:
./adb install *file
replace *file* with the Gingerbreak file name. To make it easy I just renamed it to 'gingerbreak.apk'
I couldn't get fastboot to work on a Windows xp machine either. I would suggest finding someone with a Windows 7 machine that you can use and try fastboot again. That worked out perfectly for me.
Thanks guys for the replies I've been stuck on this for two weeks. I'm going to try the gingerbreak and let you know how it goes.

Alright I used gingerbteak and it seems to have worked. I tried wireless tethering for root users and superusers permissions popped up, I said allow and it worked. Now what do I do lol? Did Gingerbreak install a custom recovery already so I can flash custom Rome? I'm not sure what to do now.

Ok I did. But aren't I supposed to have a custom recovery so I can do that manually, or do a nand backup?

Has anyone figured out how to root the Pantech Burst without a PC? I am using a Mac, and after a lot of searching I got my phone to go into Fastboot using Androtility. Now Im trying to push prestoroot.img but I cant get any command to work in Terminal.
If anyone can give me some tips to get me to the next step it would be awesome. Or if someone knows of an alternative rooting method. One click apps havent worked unfortunately.

Can you go to recovery, and do you have a rom file on your phone?

Ok, I'm sorry for such a topic, but RUU form exe worked. I hope that if someone will end up with similar thing he can just read that the RUU in executable is best solution.
Thanks for help
Hey all, I'm trying to root my new Note 2. Its 4.1.2 Broad band VRAMC3
I've been trying to run Casual but I keep getting critical errors.
I need help y'all. I've been looking but I can't seem to find the old Odin way of rooting. Is it still valid, and where would I find it? Thanks y'all.
TIA!!
What exactly is going wrong when you try using casual?
And strange question, but do you have access to a Mac? The guide even says casual runs best in OSX, and I just spent a day messing with Odin trying to restore VRAMC3 and root it with casual on my PC. First try on my Macbook and I was rooted with no issues.
Just saying...

No, I don't have a MAC, I had 3 different Windows Laptops. 2 windows 7 and ` Win 8. I keep getting a critical error during the process. Its almost finished rooting and it gets some bloody error. Very frustrating. I rooted my previous note 2 and my wifes with Zero issue.
I also have this pastebin Casual log. http://pastebin.com/eS28ZvCa
There is no pastebin....
