Ive been trying to follow all the tuts ive found about pushing files to the phone via adb but none of them work. Would any kind soul be able to make an idiots guide to doing so?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
I read all the threads regarding rooting HTC hero but but haven't been able to find how to do same using mac . I downloaded SDK but main issue is, it doesn't have "fastboot" file and has only "adb" file. Can I just use "adb" and go on.
Can someone point me to correct direction. Also, will rooting means I can unlock my phone as it means I will have control over my phone, isn't it ?
Thanks

fastboot is a tool from htc, you need to get it from them. not sure about a mac version, but iirc they offer one.
You can try using the flashrec.apk instead of the fastboot method. It worked for me, as I couldn't get fastboot to work.
you can get the mac version of fastboot here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html

you need to tell us where you get stuck, otherwise these are valid instructions...
Just like craig0r I used flashrec and it worked perfectly. I followed these instructions: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/19660-guide-installing-modaco-custom-rom.html
I guess you could use any other rooted rom as well. I used Modaco and was then able to install others.
Hi i want someone that can actually guide me step by step on the rooting for my htc evo. I was doing the process fine but i get stuck in the usb part in the recovery section.. PLease help
U need to read up n figure it out. If u can't do it then you should not be rooting your device. You def have not read enough cuz u would know that ?'s don't belong in general...

you have been told "what to do" show some pride, suck it up and read.
it is super simple.
if you do not understand then stop or you will be worse off.
just read you will be surprised how easy it is
I love it when someone is handed detailed instructions then asks for instructions again.

first of all i'm not a dude, second i did the guide of the rooting, i managed to do everything but there's a stage where the option doesn't appear in the recovery section. All i ask is for help. If you don't intend to help then don't bother replying.
Plug phone into USB, turn on debugging mode, run revolutionary, enjoy root.
Honestly, it's that simple. The people on here that are telling you that you "shouldn't bother rooting" if you have to ask this question are not saying that to be rude at all. It's a simple fact that rooting gives you privileges to sensitive system files that, if you dont know what you are doing and can't follow simple step by step instructions, can cause you to do extreme damage to your phone such as bricking. Again, it's a very simple process that you will be repeating very often while flashing various ROMs, kernels, and radios. If you aren't comfortable enough following the millions of step by step guides here on the forums then, for your phone's safety, you shouldn't be rooting. Keep reading the guides, scour the forum for the billion of other posts like yours, and then root AFTER you understand the ENTIRE process start to finish. I know you're eager to root your phone but such sensitive things should not be done without full understanding.
Again, nobody is trying to be rude to you at all. It's just that those of us more experienced in the subject know what can happen when inexperienced people try to blindly root, and subsequently flash, a bunch of stuff on their phone. Please try to take a step back and understand this.
Did you download the fastboot drivers and make sure HTC sync is not installed on your computer?
All -
I am not sure where to go. I am new to a Verizon GNex running stock ICS v4.0.4 and using a mac laptop, and looking to possibly get into rooting. It appears CM9 is popular specially since they appear to have added several of the SIII's new features.
I have read several posts on several sites talking about rooting the GNex. There seems soooooo many different ways to root i'm going crazy. Since I am new to rooting, I am not sure what is the best/easiest way to get started to ensure I don't loose anything.
Any help on the right way to go, any forum posts to start with, etc....would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks!
use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
dont use a toolkit either. you'll be better off with the knowledge of what you are doing and people will be more apt to help you if things go wrong.

Thank you both for replying, but....I am working on a MacBook and the link you provided appears only to be for a Windows Machine. I luv the walk-thru what exists in the forum - I just need it for a Mac..
Thanks again!
Should be the same deal... just with terminal.
Here is a zip with ad and fast boot needed for Mac. It may also have the recovery and su.zip but ignore those use what the windows tutorial says.

Exact same method, but use Terminal instead of Command Prompt, and put a "./" in front of every command. For example:
Code:
./adb devices
Can anyone provide a fully nooby-proofed tutorial for the entire flashing process for this awesome tablet?
I got mine some days ago, i found some infos about the rooting in google, but about the flashing I found almost nothing, except the required files for download.
I know now that there are a few ways to flash a rom, with odin, to put the device into recovery mode and with ??twrp??
Please guys could you make that ? I am sure there are also other people with the same questions here.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hey all,
At first you should know that I am a n00b when it comes to HTC devices because I am coming from Samsung Galaxy note 1 n7000 so please consider telling more details
I didn't receive the phone yet but I want to root it as soon as I power and I want to keep the OTA updates
I have seen the thread in the development section but I didn't understand anything :/
So please write a full tutorial so everyone can understand the awesome mods and tutorials you developers write
Here is the link to that thread :

If you don't understand the guide already written, keep reading it until you do understand and then give it a go. No one is going to spoon feed you here I'm afraid...

DON'T use toolkits. What if something goes wrong and the toolkit can't help? What do you do then? Read up on everything, e.g. adb/fastboot commands, and then it'll all make sense...

Then you ask here.
Sometimes for beginners it can all be a little daunting and information overload, things can still go wrong doing things manually, many guides assume too much of the user. I think that gets forgotten here. Toolkits can ease the newbie in.
