Can anyone give me a link to heimdall for mac. I will be moving soon and will lose access to my windows PC. I will need a way to push files to my fascinate from a mac laptop. I googled it and strangely enough what I found I could not get installed on my mac. Thanks in advance.

I have read a lot of things about people having issues rooting with Mac. If you don't have access to a PC or VMware here's an option.
Install Airsideload. I can't post a link cause I'm new to this site but google.

Download the Gingerbreak.apk on your Mac.
Then just drop the Gingerbreak.apk into the "drop zone", open the app on your phone and your all set.
or just do this... http://www.droidsector.com/blog/2010/06/23/easy-way-to-install-apk-files-using-android-sdk-for-mac/
Thanks for this, as soon as I figure out how to get this all to work I'll use this

Hey guys,
I've done a search around, but I can't find any way to root my SGS2 on OSX.
Odin is for PC only, and I haven't found another option. Is there any software available yet?
Unless you can run Odin on wine/parallel (and tbh i will never trust to flash anything on a "emulated" windows running Odin) im afraid you only can use a Windows machine.
Maybe you could manage a bootcamp partition and install therefor windows for using Odin on this partition... Of course you will need an original Windows Installation!
Otherwise here on xda there is an offer of the program 'Heimdall' wich can be used as an alternative to Odin, but especially me I prefer the Windows way
here is the link to the program itself:

and here is a how-to:

true, true! now it is in the correct forum!
Hi all,
This should be in Q&A, but like Stoecki said you can use Heimdall, learning it myself, so i can use Ubuntu instead of Windows....
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to Q&A
Sorry LufC,
I've been using xda for almost 2 years, you'd think I'd have known that.
Thanks guys, I'm checking out Heimdall now

Dude, Bootcamp is the way. Installation takes less than half hour.
That's how an Apple head does his Win-based job. >.<
Heimdall doesn't work for SGS2 on OSX. I used a Windows pc for this one time only process.
Just got my Tablet. Want to root but PC is down, I have a Mac..is the procedure using Mac as easy or as good as the PC version? Any difference?
Can someone point me to the Mac instructions? Thanks.

Any difference if use Mac vs PC method?
Ok just did it with Mac. I see something called SU Binary Updater, do I need to update that, is it related to root or something unsafe?

That's an update to the SuperUser "app." Go ahead and update it.
I think both are very similar.
Dunno if they are different, but the Mac-version worked without hiccups for me

Will the Mac technique of rooting prevent the 1.41 update?
Hi, i have a huge problem, my sgs3 won't show up in ubuntu, seams like the version of ubuntu doesnt matters, neither the rom... So im using the latest rom from paranoid android 1.7.8a and mounts great in windows. i dont have access to a windows computer right now since im on a vacation. Are any one else having the same problem? and/if there is a solution please share.
I have same problem
It has to do with android file system
I tried couple of solutions available around but none helped so used windows
If any one knows how to connect it will be helpful
I too have this issue, so I use FTP to transfer file back and forwards. Filezilla on my unbuntu netbook and rapfox on the phone.
hth.
Thank you!

Just saw your answer, will try that out, thank you.
I'm working on installing Ubuntu to my prime using the thread i linked below, but for part of that i need to go into my prime via desktop Ubuntu command line. The issue i'm having is that when i plug into my desktop using the USB cable, Ubuntu won't recognize my Prime and i can't move files back and forth.
The thread says to install the naked drivers (which i downloaded), but the instructions were only for windows machines. From what I can tell Ubuntu doesn't have a "Device Manager" where I could use to manually install drivers.
I've done Google searches, and searched XDA for the past week or so and I haven't come across anyone having this similar issue while using Ubuntu. If anyone can shed some light on my situation I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Try uninstalling the drivers from your machine then reinstalling the basic Asus drivers by plugging the Prime in. If that doesn't do it then I'll have to load up my Ubuntu parition and see if I can debug with you that way.

In my experience, you do not need to download any drivers to access your Prime from an Ubuntu PC -- the naked drivers are strictly a Windows thing from what I remember. You need to set up the 51-android.rules file in the /etc/udev/rules folder. And, you may or may not need to make an entry in adb_usb.ini (I believe this file is in a hidden folder) -- try it without first. If you do a little research on 51-android.rules, you will see that this is quite easy. And, the vendor and device numbers you need to plug into 51-android.rules can be obtained by typing lsusb at the terminal command line, with your Prime plugged into the PC. You also need to have debugging turn on under Developer Options in Settings. After you change the 51-android.rules file, you need to log off and log back on, so it gets run (there is another way to run it, but I do not remember how). I am away from my Prime and Ubuntu machine, but can get you further details later, if you cannot figure it out from the above information.
(P.S.) Giving you the path and file names from my memory. They are probably correct ... at least they are very close to being correct.
So, I wrote the 51-android.rules file like you suggested but I still can't access most files on my prime. When I tell it to connect as a camera i can view picutres, but when it connects as MTP I still get nothing.I looked in the /dev directory to see if i could find my SD card to continue on with the Ubuntu installation, but no luck there either.Your suggestions have been helping though, i'm getting closer. Thanks to both of you who replied so far.

51-android.rules is really for giving you access to your TFP with adb and other Linux commands in Terminal (Android Debugging must be enabled under Developer Options for this to work). 51-android.rules has nothing to do with PTP (camera) or MTP, as far as I know. I really do not know what you are trying to do, or at least how you are trying to do it, so it is difficult to suggest anything. If you are just trying to copy files to the TFP, you may have better luck with Windows than Linux. I'm pretty sure that most of the TFP's file system does not show up in the Linux File Browser, when plugged in to a USB port (only PTP & MTP work, as far as I know ... both are limited).
There are many users on this site who can help you, if you explain exactly what you are trying to do.
