Tutorial: cwrecovery for mac

[stevespear426]

First off I'm not a Dev just a guy with a Mac and to much time on his hands. So use with caution. Secondly I'm not really positive on the exact steps take because of multiple mistakes and attempts. So this is how I think it all went down.

1) Unistall Lagfix
2) Download [the link wasn't working the zip can be found here
]tutorial: cwrecovery for mac users - xda-developers disregard the read me its missing steps i'll try to hit here.
3) drop the zimage file on the sdcard.
4) put the redbend_ua in the tools folder of the sdk.
5) open terminal
$ cd ..
$ cd ..
$ cd and*
$ cd tools
$ ./adb push redbend_ua /data/local
$ ./adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 0755 rage.bin
$ ./rage.bin


Wait for rage.bin to complete. When it's finished you should be back in the tools folder again as shown below.

your computer name: tools your user name$ ./adb shell
# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# cd /data/local
# chmod 755 redbend_ua
# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7

lots of stuff and your phone restarts?

quit terminal (don't know if its necessary)
recopy zimage to sdcard. yes overwrite.

open terminal (I did the whole rage.bin thing a couple times through this whole fiasco, im not sure if its nessecary, just get remounted..)
# cd ..
# cd ..
# cd and*
# cd tools
#./adb shell
# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# cd /data/local
# chmod 755 redbend_ua
# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8

more stuff phone restarts again.

market download rom manager. cwrecovery flash for fascinate, back up current rom and you're good.

If guys are having trouble I'll try and answer questions, but this was trial and error for me. if I missed something and someone figures it out let me know so I can update the tutorial.

Thanks for the effort! I'm not ready to root again but that should change soon the way things are progressing, glad this is here.

I've found a pretty simple way to do it as well, without so much stuff and less download even. This is if you have adb/android tools installed with a bash profile and you're in the folder with redbend and zimage.

1. Install ROM Manager and "flash" CWM. Mount your sdcard
2. adb push redbend_ua /data/local
3. adb push zImage /data/local
4. adb shell
5. su
6. chmod -R 755 /data/local
7. cd /data/local
8. ./redbend_ua restore ./zImage /dev/block/bml7

Phone reboots, remount sdcard to comp

1. adb shell
2. su
3. cd /data/local
4. ./redbend_ua restore ./zImage /dev/block/bml8

Sorry to revive a long dead topic, but does anyone have a link to the redbend_ua files to use with a mac? The only dropbox link I can find leads to a 404 error. I've rooted my fascinate but I can't get into the Clockwork recovery. Thanks for the help.
