Hey guys,
I'm new to the android community, literally less then 24 hours haha, i know there's some topics on this but i couldn't get anything useful out of them so i thought i would give it one more shot! Let me know if you guys have any answers.
Thanks,
Rob

Best way is to load Windows on your mac or go to a friends house that has windows and do the Odin stuff there. After that you're good to go, you can install the sdk on a mac and flash clockwork recovery.
Thanks alot! Ill be sure to look up some tutorials!

i'm pretty sure a great working knowledge of Linux is required....so thats all Android is....mini Linuix for smartphones.....then you gotta have a programmer mentality...i'm a great VB/Java/BATCH developer....can't do sh*t in Android ROM development...tried it and failed miserably...thank God for Odin
Right...I had a few Linux Server clients over the years but nothing that I ever had to dig very deep into...basic mandrake...fedora core..some redhat setups at home. Did just d/l Unbuntu to check it out..

I need a link that I can download the pg05img.zip file that my thunderbolt had before the new ruu update. I think it was .6 or .0023 or something . My phone ran so much smoother with it. Also I was running the perfect storm v1.3 and had a kernel from ziggy .(1.7) that I cannot find now from his website. I have been looking forever and finally I thought id ask you freaks. Jk . Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Oh and don't tell me I should have searched because I did. I typed it in Google and searched on here. Didn't find any specific info due to the fact I didn't wanna lose root. I spent literally 6 hours rooting the bad boy the old fashion way adb drivers .

There's a radio thread in the development section. Has all the radios. Can't help you with the kernel.

You can't tell me which one I download? What do I do ask there?

So tell me what I paid 4 dollars 4 if I can't even post what I need help with in the correct thread. and you know what I'm talking about you could have just given me the link

You didn't search too hard did you. It's in the development section and it's title says RADIO on it. You will have to read pass the first post to know which one came with the phone. No, I won't be providing you with a link, just go to the development section. As for the stock kernel try flashing the debloated stock rom.

In here somewhere, shouldn't be too long to figure out.
As far as the kernel you'll have to ask or pm the dev since they don't have it explicitly posted.
Ok well I flashed the .6 LTE and cdma but when I check the software on my phone it says I have the .9 I am so confused
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
That is because you are comparing all the wrong numbers. From Adrynalyne himself...
1.12.606.6= release software. This is what you started with.
1.12.605.9= leaked software, but same radios as .6.
1.13.605.7= leaked software, latest, new CDMA and LTE radio. These are what people flashed in the RUU thread or Das BAMF.
Thes numbers are software release numbers. Not radio numbers. The baseband number, I believe, is the radio number. So, if you flashed this file, you have the new RUU with the old radio.
If you downloaded this file from the OP of the Radio thread, then you have the stock radio.
Lastly (for now), we have the 1.12.605.6 CDMA/LTE radio combo.

To read is your best bet. I have been a "lurker" on these boards for some time. I read and read some more until I understand. Believe me, it is not fun reading through a couple hundred pages for just one thread, but you would be surprised what you would learn by doing so.
And to be quite honest, asking questions such as this only serves to solidify the reason for the responses you get from the more senior members. If you have to ask questions like this, you had no business rooting or loading a new radio in the first place.
Good luck
Whatever I am not going to spend hours on here reading about a phone. I actually have a life and it is not spent on my phone . Thanks for the help. Maybe if you would explain the answer to the question I was asking I would understand. Instead of posting someone else's written material on here for me which I obviously read before . But whatever I flashed the wrong .zip file anyway and lost root thanks freaks

If you don't want to spend the time and learn about your phone then you don't need root
We won't spoon feed you here, you have to do somethings by yourself
Besides rooting the phone again is easy, as long as u didn't use a semi one click root

i have spend time to learn about this phone. I am just not familiar with the lingo. bro i have been from verizon (og droid) to at&t (aria) sprint (evo) and now back to Verizon only after having the samsung phone until the tbolt was out. I rooted every single one of those phones !!! i bricked the og droid and learned alot from that. havent bricked since. so don't tell me i don't spend time on here. you and alot of people on here spend more time complaining when you could be explaining. you would have saved a step in your last post had you just put the answer to my question. i build powerlines off helicopter skids for a living i don't have all day to spend on here "learning" the lingo. i just wanted simple help without you freaks getting your panties all bunched up because i apparently don't know what i am talking about. so if you cannot help me do not post back.
i am new to this website, as i have been finding all my information on google because i was afraid this would happen.
i rooted this phone having to install adb drivers on windows 7. do i just use shell command or whatever its called and push the files to the phone and make sure the md5sum is the same? all i was wanting to do was just go back before the leaked software. i was running the perfect storm 1.3 and ziggy mecha bfs kernel i think it was 1.7 but it was superfast. i live in los angeles and where i live i have full 4g all the time. now i lose 4g go to 3g then have to mess with it to get it back to 4g. that was until i lost root. so back to my question do i just push the files to the phone. i will have to fire up that old laptop again the only reason i used that one was because there wasnt a root guide for a mac back when the tb was released. is it easier on a mac fresh or on windows with the adb drivers and sdk already installed?

Do yourself a favor just get an iPhone and leave us geeks to our hours of reading and flashing since we have no lives.
I wouldn't have said that had you freaks have just got to the point and answered my question instead of complaining. I thought one of the reasons for this forum was to help people like me, but I guess not.

No one's gonna help you with that attitude. You keep calling everyone "freaks." Yah, that's gonna get you far.
I never said you didnt have a life

Stop being a ****, your questions were already answered.
Wow! Lol Hope you found what you needed.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
In the time it took you to insult everyone that can help you, you could have found the answer you were looking for. Just because there are people on here that have a vast knowledge about this and many other phones doesnt mean they have no life like someone who gets offended and calls the people that can help them "freaks". Next time you need assistance you might want to change your tact. Just my opinion.
Title really says it all. Everyone has to start somewhere.
I'm interested in digging in and seeing what I can do. I'm not really a programmer, but I can learn. I'm pretty comfortable with linux, having used it for many years (not really much in the last few years, though). I've used and installed Mandrake/Mandriva, Sabayon, and Gentoo; and I'm going to install Mint, Ubuntu, Sabayon, or Arch over VirtualBox sometime in the next few days.
Are there any sites/forums/articles that I can read that would give me a beginners look at Android hacking/development? Are there any other things I should know?
Sent from my BNTV250 using Tapatalk
I would start with doing themes. Then from there, make your way into apps, then rom development.
If your interested, I can give you a link that gives some great ADW turning instructions.
That would be great. I've done some theming back when I had my Droid, mostly just changing things around to suit my desires. Never done any app development, though.
I'm wanting to contribute to the Nook Tablet community, if I can.

Here is that link, it is long, but will make you understand really good.

As for the nook development, idk about that sorry, may want to ask in that section.
I really appreciate it.
In terms of Nook dev, I figure if I can figure out Android hacking as a whole, I can apply that to the NT.
Alright man, good luck!

Thus far, I've not had the chance to tinker. I've been far too busy lately. I've read over the post a little, but I will follow it more carefully when I have the time to sit down and devote some attention to it.

DO NOT POST IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY DEVELOP SOMETHING
bunch of dicks in this place!!!
Sorry that people are jumping at you for posting in the dev section, but there is a reason we have specific forums for different topics and it has to stay organized otherwise no one would know where to find stuff. This is posted pretty explicitly in every forum.
Anyways as far as rooting on a mac, I gave up on trying to install heimdall. For some reason I kept getting a "heimdall.kext not installed properly" error. I ended up using ODIN in boot camp. If you don't have windows, I know you can download a 30 day trial of Parallels 7 to create a virtual machine. They let you use a consumer preview release of Windows 8 for free. I didn't try ODIN in Windows 8 but maybe it could work. Good luck
Thank you!

And watch your language.
Virtualbox is free and can be used on pc, linux, or mac to create virtual machines instead of having to use trials, etc
Hello guys im a new android user. Can someone point me to the right direction on rooting, changing the os of my s2. Im a bit of a fan of modding, i owned a wm device, an ios. I know how to flash both however with android im a goner. Thanks please point.

What I normally do is root so that I get cwm to make band backups and I can use fancy apps that help for further steps.
Unfortunately you'll have to read 1000s of posts about kernels/roms and how to use certain tools.
I'm no expert myself,but the more I read,and like watching you tube videos,the more I learn.
Also,you've got to tread carefully if your phone is still under warranty and you need to send it back....lol
