[How to] 1-Click-Red cwm for Mac users (No bootcamp or windows required)*update 3/1*

[Braydon525]

The one click root worked excellently, but the link to CWM 2.1 appears to be down. It keeps giving me a 404 error.

I'm uploading to Megaupload now. Didnt realize dropbox has a limit on downloads... Thanks for the letting me know.

Glad to hear 1-click-root worked well!

 

[Braydon525]

Links should work now.

i have a mac and am considering moving to froyo soon but i have a question about this method. how can i get the sc 2.6 zip on the root of my sd card if i am unrooted on ea28. I thought that you couldnt mount the fascinate on a mac since dl09?

you can download it from the phone browser, or email it to your self, or get a card reader

Most macbooks and iMacs come with bluetooth, you can use that to send the file.

If you download 1-click-root or 1-click-cockworkmod, inside is a folder called Files, inside that is a file called adb. You can use that to push the file to your SD card. Follow:

1. Enable USB debugging
2. Plug your phone into your computer
3. Open Terminal (can be found by typing terminal into search)
4. Type cd followed by a space
5. Drag the Files folder inside the 1-click folder into your terminal window, press enter
6. Type the following: ./adb push *drag and drop SC 2.6 zip file here* /sdcard/
7. Press enter and the file will be pushed to your sdcard

An example to step 6 is:

./adb push /Users/Username/Desktop/Android/super_frankenclean_2_6nv.zip /sdcard/

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the answer! I just want to make sure I understand how to do this correctly. So I will write the steps as I understand them.

1. follow directions for one click root
2. follow directions for installing CWM on 2.1
3. Place froyo zip on sd card and install zip through CWM, reboot
4. follow directions for installing CWM on 2.2

I have been following these forums for about 2 weeks now and I am so impressed with how willing people are to help, thank you to all of you.

Can I still one click root even if I cant access my sd card on my mac?

Great minds think alike .

I'm thinking I need to make an all things mac thread, including how to upgrade to froyo with screen shot n such.

Nix step 4, every thing else looks good. Step 4 is for people running the stock build of froyo who dont have clockwork already.

And yes you can still root without access to sdcard.

We need to find a way to create an interface that you click a button a popup comes out, you find the file and hit go, kind of like odin

Yet again, great minds. I just spoke with my boss and he gave me to go ahead to start researching Cocoa apps. Its basically objective-C with UI, but a lot easier to program.

Here is a 1-click-pushtosd.zip. Pretty easy, just enable USB debugging as usual, plug in the phone, and run the pushtosd.app file and follow on screen instructions.

this is going to sound stupid, but i don't get how to put the root on the sd card? do you just click the app from the desk top? i'm getting bus errors. doesn't seem to be finding my card. i don't need any drivers installed, do i? i've never done the fast rooting..

What kind of errors are you getting? Can you copy and post them?

Are you trying to install root? Or clockwork?

well, i flashed the stock ebo1 test rom that cory and droidx posted, and that took away my root. when i rooted, i had to push all the files separately, and with Tiger, its kind of a pain, so i figured I would try this. i am trying to root.

type ./adb devices in that same terminal window. if its connected to your phone it will say something like:

Files Braydon$ ./adb devices
