Root with a Mac? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Reading and watching YouTube on rooting the note seems to be done on a pc. Is there way to do it on a mac?

Yeah, basically, or virtual machine. You need ODIN to root, and there's no ODIN for mac as far as I know. I just booted into windows in boot camp on my laptop.
I did set up a Windows 7 Virtual Machine using VMware on the mac mini in my office, and it worked fine to flash via ODIN as well, so that's also an option if you don't want to actually make a windows partition.

Google Heimdall. That is the way to root with Mac or Linux.

ODIN for OS X
Windows ODIN wrapped in a wine wrapper in order to work in OS X:

So, as a noob, with an ATT Galaxy note, and a mac book pro. Is there a step by step guide for the use of the Odin/wine wrapper file?

ADB is just a binary file, you open terminal in same directory as adb ./adb shell
I keep the binary file on my desktop, then just right click desktop select open terminal here, then type ./adb shell

This is what I used a while back to get me up and running on my Ubuntu setup when I was using the Evo4g. I was new to Ubuntu at the time, so this guide was very helpful for me. Step 6 is important, because setting ADB in the PATH will allow you to execute adb commands from any directory. You won't need to cd to the directory where your adb drivers are (most likely the platform-tools folder)

Here is another guide written by MisFit for ADB on Ubuntu. I'm not sur which flavor of Linux you're running, but if it's Ubuntu these tutorials should be helpful to you. After I started using the Evo3d, I had to do something very similar to this guide. ADB always worked fine with my Evo4g on Ubuntu, but when I started using the Evo3d, I would get "no permissions ?????????" or something to that nature. Following this guide should fix that. Good luck getting it going, shouldn't be too bad.

You need all that just to run a binary on Ubuntu? I guess they really are the windows of Linux.

Ha, yea. I didn't find it too difficult, and as I said, was a noob at Ubuntu when I did that. Surely there's a quicker way to do it. But I was able to do it with no experience with Ubuntu at all, just followed what was written.
Thank u i will try it when I get home. Thanks for your help

That's cool my comment was meant as a joke, I haven't used windows since 2003, XP was the version, I build my own Linux it's based off of Mepis, I haven't used Ubuntu just poking fun at you.

Understood. And yup, I know I'm a noob at Ubuntu and other Linux based stuff. I used Windows my entire life until a few months ago, so I'm learning it slowly. Surely one day I'll also be building my own Linux systems.

Rooting EVO 3D on a Mac?

There is not an option to root using a mac, only windows or linux. Hopefully there will be in the future

Isn't the Linux file just an sh file? So couldn't you just rename revolutionary to revolutionary.sh and then from Terminal do sh revolutionary.sh?
Worst case scenario, why don't you try using a VM?
I ended up just using my neighbors computer since i could not do it on my brother's iMac. I just told him I needed to do something important and check my email. Took less than 15 haha.
The easiest way is to borrow someone's Windows machine for a while or use a Ubuntu Live CD(or any other Linux Live CD). There is no Mac support for revolutionary and if I remember right, I believe they said there will never be. Maybe someone from Unrevoked will make a Mac version down the road, but right now it is not possible and you will have to find someone willing to let you borrow their Windows machine or download and burn a Linux Live cd and boot from it.
Alright cool.. Thanks guys. I guess ill have to steal my parents W7 laptop. LOL
How about Bootcamp your Mac with Windows 7 Ultimate?

I'm not being callous, but don't use a mac. Both methods will work on a windows machine.
If you can't access a win pc, which would be weird btw, and can't figure it out on the mac, maybe try it in a win VM running on the mac.
The sudo password is the same as the user password that you use to log into your mac.

Put your unlock.bin into toolkit folder, and just follow other steps in order, also copy supersu to your sd card and flash from within recovery. hasoon has made our lives easier with AIO

also make sure the path to your AIO folder has nothing but single words. If you dropped in it the desktop and your name is two words, it might have trouble. Move the folder to your c drive and try from there instead.
I used AIO on win8 pro with no trouble
