Root with Mac - Please Help!

[pta79151]

Hello everyone,

I have Mac Snow Leopard and would like to root my Spring Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4 g. Does anyone have a tutorial and/or experience w/rooting from Mac. I have Gingerbread.EL29 on Galaxy.

You would use the rooted stock TAR file provided by sfhub, and a program called Heimdall to flash it on your Mac.

File and Information: [ODIN][TAR] SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 (EL29 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted) - xda-developers

According to sfhub's instructions,

Mac/Linux - Install 7-zip, then use it to unpack the individual ODIN components in Reference Section B (below). If Heimdall fails flashing all 3 files together, try doing them individually. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows specific (steps 3, 4, 6).

Heimdall: Heimdall – Glass Echidna
