Guys
I want to root my phone and install a custom Rom, but I only have a mac, and do not have any Windows simulation program either. Is there a guide I can use that walks me through the process with a mac?
Thanks a bunch !

Y cant u check in frnd of u, who has windows os! Because root through, mac os is quite complicated!
the only difference is the alpharev process
Try to download virtual machine . Like VMWare. Then download a Linux system. Fedora is recommend(smaller to download. Ubuntu is too big.)

Hey all, i don't use windows, only have a virtual machine (which doesn't seem to work well with adb).
Does no-one use linux to flash here? I'm looking for a linux only tutorial?
Cheers,

I've got root trough VM with one-click method. I was using VMWare Player in Ubuntu 9.10.
adb is working fine on my gentoo machine, it is even better than on the offtopic I got root and everything using linux. And you don't need different tutorials - everything is almost the same.
here ya go! hehe i hope this will help u! if u need any help just pm me, i use ubuntu everyday and for everything!

Does anyone here know if it's possilbe to do a full clean install of the free Windows XP Mode that you can get with the Windows 7 Virtual machine?
I do know it's possilbe to convert a .vhd into a .iso file which can be burned to disk but i can't find anything on google that would help me with this.
Any help would be appreciated.
If I understand correctly you want to V2P (virtual 2 physical).
I wonder if since Windows 7 bootloader allows you to boot vhd file's if you can boot the Windows xp mode vhd.
Also I think clonezilla will allow you to dd the vhd to a physical disk.

converting a vhd to ISO? that's uh not going to work buddy.
i have no idea hwat you're trying to do, but based on experiance drop xp mode, use vpc2007, virtualbox or vmware. vmware can physically access drives, which is..extremely handy.
Yup, that's exactly what i want to do, is to make the .vhd to physical so i can full install it at boot then dual boot windows 7 and windows XP without the need of useing Virtual PC all the time when i want to use XP.
It should be possible in everyway and i also have a genuine key for Windows XP Mode that come with the download from microsoft.
it isnt going to work. repartition your drive and use a real xp.
xp doesnt like being swapped between hardware configs. specially with whatever insane method win7 uses to boot to vhd files.
so i no its naughty but if you have a legit key then just download xp, with a built in key, then use jellybean to activate your legit key, prob get flamed for that info but fine if u are telling the truth

This is my first post in xda-developers.
I am planning to buy a smartphone for pen-testing besides of other normal smartphone usage sutff.
My choices have bioled down to the Sony Xperia Z, and the Samsung Galaxy S4...
Only problem is tha i do not know how to root these devices.... by what i have seen so far, it requires flashing the ROM, of them, but i have no access to Windows computers... i only have an Ubuntu 12.04 installation in my laptop, but all the tutorials i have seen so far, involve using some sort of win applications....
I need to root the device in order to get Kali linux, or backtrack linux, or BackBuntu to run in a chroot in an SD card... as well as to install ANTI, and dSploit...
Any hints of how to do this using Linux..??
and more.. the kernel images used in the rooting process are no longer hosted in the websites, where can i get them..?
best regards
Alex
You don't need Windows to root the device. I've successfully rooted the device with locked and unlocked bootloader under linux. You can just run the needed adb commands under linux if you have the android sdk installed.
Downloading Android SDK now... Installed Eclipse already...

Hi, thanks for the answer, is the source code of ADB packed in the SDK, and i just need to build an executable, ? or is it just a stand-alone binary..?

All you need is the platform-tools folder from the sdk. The binary for adb will be present for your platform. I rooted on a mac.

A wanna do s-off but i went to see how but the thing is that theres only for linux and i dont have linux just windows 7 any link ofbthe toolkit for windows 7???????
If you follow the s off thread he tells you how to do it without installing the Linux distribution. Just download it and boot to it. It will give you the option to test. Run all of the tools and yo are done. Windows won't be touched at all
I still have the Win 64-bit files from '12 stored on my PC. I can email them to you if needed. PM me your email addy :good:
On their website it says it only supports ubunto. So do I need to use linux or can I use a windows pc

You can use a Windows pc to download the Ubuntu ISO file. Burn that to a DVD. Reboot, making sure you can boot off the DVD. You can run Ubuntu in memory without affecting your Windows installation. Several people have reported that this works.
Personally, I have two hard drives on my computer and I already had Ubuntu installed on the other drive, just for doing stuff like that.
Or if you want the windows files, I probably have them archived. Just let me know if you want them. Note that unlimited.io / juopunutbear do not support the windows version at all any more. I did my s-off on windows (and I'm sure many others did too) and it worked out OK.
Yes please. If you could send them to me that would be great. You can pm them or if for some reason pm doesn't work my e mail is [email protected]
