Q: Does pushing files to sdcard require root?
A: No, this will work on 100% stock.
Q: Does pushing files to sdcard work with directories?
A: No, only individual files can be pushed.

Post #2: 1-click-pushtosdcard (automated moving files to your phones sdcard)
Tip: I recommend extracting the files to your desktop or the root of your hard drive. Also, I recommend putting the file you want to push on your desktop or the root of your hard drive.
- Download and extract:
- Enable USB debugging and Stay awake under Settings > Applications > Development, leave the phone in the Development window
- Plug your phone into your computer
- Double click pushtosdcard.app inside the 1-click folder, follow on screen instructions
- When the file has finished copying, close terminal

Post #3: 1-click-root/unroot (automated rooting and unrooting)
Note: First time rooters may take up to 10 minutes! Do not panic, just be patient.
Tip: I recommend extracting the files to your desktop or the root of your hard drive.
For DI01, DL09, EA28, or EB01:

Congrats! You now have root.
For an in depth video tutorial on rooting manually, see Cory Streater's Rooting Using a Mac (Video Tutorial).
To unroot:

Excellent resources for Mac users, thank you for this!
Only question I have is how does the user get the radio flashed for each ROM?Thanked by: - 03-06-2011, 11:50 PM

Thanks!
I knew there was a reason to reserve an extra post
Currently the radio isnt affected by these methods. I'm currently running the DL09 radio with SC 2.8, and its working perfectly. GPS works great too.
If it starts to be an issue, I can try to make a 1-click-radio as well.Helpful link for modding Fascinate on Mac's:

So i tried to update from superclean 2.6 to 2.8. I downloaded zip file, put it in my sd card, utilized rom manager to boot up to recovery mode, found zip file and tried to install. I got this error message:
ammend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when updating to the clockwork 3.0 gingerbread based recovery to create working update zip packages.
It does not install it. Also tried to install zip from sd card option with rom manager but does not install as well.
Any suggestions? - 03-07-2011, 10:29 AM

You need to have clockworkmod 2.5.0.4. Go back into the ROM manager and see if you can re-flash that recovery using the item at the bottom of the list, should be All ClockworkMod Recoveries.
If that doesnt work, try running the cwm.app inside the 1-click-clockworkmod folder again.Helpful link for modding Fascinate on Mac's:

So what do i try first?? Re-installing previous version or replacing the update.zip file?? Rom manager did not allow me to intall previous version so im dl the one click cwm again. Im doing it via wireless tethering since my work comp has the website blocked.
I tried dl the update.zip but the website said i have exceeded my downloads. Any other way to obtain it? - 03-07-2011, 11:27 AM #16
