Verrue-Mac-2:/ Verrue$ cd and*

Proud owner of a samsung infuse....now on to rooting it

Apparently I can't get past the first couple of steps (Mac user). I type in the terminal .adb/devices and I get back "No such file or directory". Any ideas?

hey, new to the forum... that's for the walkthrough!

the last output of GingerBreak for me is [*] vold: 0000 GOT start: 0x000162e8 GOT end: 0x00016328

then nothing...

any ideas what I might have done wrong?

do i need to repair anything after the failed attempt?

argyle64: cd into the platform-tools directory, then type ./adb devices

vernoodle,

Check where your x86DSC file got downloaded, too. It needs to be in the root of your Mac. If you downloaded the zip file there, chances are when you unzipped it, it got buried into a second directory. The android-sdk-mac_x86 needs to be in the root directory (Macintosh HD).
