Re: Full Root On Mac OS X

Ok, I finally have success but let me tell you, it wasn't easy.

Here are a couple of notes:

1. When you download the files to your mac, it will try to unzip them and that messes the files up.

2. I was able to compress the pc36img.zip file and was able to get that part to work.

3. I was unable to do the same for the update.zip and the stock rooted image .zip file.

4. I ended up setting up google, going in to the market, and downloaded Astro file manager.

5. I then downloaded the 2 files I needed directly to the phone from the two sites listed.

6. I then renamed whatever needed to be renamed from within Astro file manager and moved them both to the root of my sd card using Astro file manager.

7. Everything worked fine after that.

8. I then downloaded Titanium to restore my apps and was prompted with the phone was not rooted.

9. I continued in to the program anyway and did the busy box download again.

10. Now it went through without any errors (in other words I was rooted)

11. When I restored my apps I purposely unchecked "unrevoked" as we only needed that to be able to use Titanium and the phone was completely rooted at this point.

12. I restored everything else using "My Backup" and now I am just changing my settings back to the way I want them.

Now I will get everything perfect, go on my windows pc and do the nand backup portion and then I will start putting custom roms on this a little later tonight or tomorrow.

Hope this all helps.
