That's a very good question but from what I know if I'm not mistaken is that you possibly can't root your phone with a Mac
that's just my knowledge...

From my understanding no, Odin will not work unless it's on Windows, I've heard people run it on a virtual OS on a Mac. You should just ask a friend really to save you time.

Install windows on your Mac is an option

Yeah, running a virtual OS is possible but a risk, so I suggest you go to a friend or install windows with bootcamp
Duel boot Linux or Ubuntu s latest . then get adb working in my Sig on PC or desktop view are three lines in my Sig .open terminal and paste those in one at a time and enter.you have adb. Then unzip the zip push the root and push its su file via adb to their rightful place that should root your phone without Odin or just get adb working on your Mac and do the same. I like Linux and Ubuntu though, over Mac. Or here *-X-*
also get fastboot working so that you can use it to install a custom recovery like twrp with this command `~ fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Before Odin was ADB.

At what part are you thinking you will fail?
just get a windows7 and use odin macs complicate things for Android users.
or dual boot Linux Mint for free.
Or Root with Mac via ADB
that guide is for the Nexus Toro so of course you will use only recoveries and files for the t-989.. the su file is somewhat universal as in the newer su files will work with most if not all devices Ive encountered certainly a su file that works for nexus would work for our device and so would superuser .apk but recoveries are device specific and the wrong one will result in a possible brick, very likely.

you really have to flash cwm with Odin via windows. Maybe you could use adb to push super user app to your system forward slash app. But of course you need a PC for that as well... No I don't think you can easily root your sgs2 without a pc.

I wiped the sd card like a retard... and now don't have a rom to flash.
What do?
I can't find how to mount the sd card.
You have to adb push the Rom to your phone. Hopefully you have the android sdk installed, a quick Google search will provide you with instructions on how to push the file

It looks like you can use the GNex Toolkit to flash stock rom from fastboot mode (option 9).

Are you getting payed or something man?
Why are you suggesting a toolkit, which will then use fastboot, to reflash a whole rom, a stock rom at that, when he has access to a custom recovery, thus he can get himself out of this mess and learn a thing or two about adb (adb can do more than just a simple copy operation).

Its in the development thread. .its just the same the method of flashing is only the difference.

Heimdall is an open-source cross-platform tool similar to odin that is reported to work on linux. Options for linux are .deb binaries or sources you compile yourself.
You can also dd image files with adb.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you want to though. It's not hard to brick your phone using these tools.

Thanks, i just needed some extra peace of mind to make sure i didn't break anything. I can't even flash it anyway since my device is running a production build. I think i need to compile a user-debug or engineering build from source to be able to flash cwm. Linux is a whole new world to me though, i'm getting so lost loll

The graphics file is needed. Our device uses a non-standard graphics format.

Entering adb root from my computer spits out an error about not having root access in production builds.
If i enter adb shell, then su-l, i get root, but when mounting any of the read only filesystems i get the same error as above.
Trying to apply any update.zip from sd card(even a signed one) fails due to signature checks(i think i need the oem Hp signature).

I've read that I need a custom recovery like TWRP or something. Can someone point me into the right direction on how to get stock android on my verizon htc one? Thanks!

Just get on a custom recovery and then flash a ROM that is based on GPE, I think we have two available.

Android Stock and Google Play Edition are a bit different so you will have to do some research and decide what ROM you want to go with.
For our device we have 2 recovery options, TWRP and Clockwork. Both can be found in the Origional Android Development forum:

I am not going to say one is better than the other. I use TWRP, but mostly because I am use to it from other devices.
Download TWRP to the external sd , the download flashify from the Google play store, select flash recovery, then browse to the file you downloaded to the externalSD. Easy as pie

Not sure how you got flashify to work but the HTC one isn't supported. The dev told me he doesn't own the phone so it's not likely to ever work.

I just used flashify to install TWRP 2.6.3.3 less then a minute time.
Try this option. xda-developers - View Single Post - [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.6.3.3 touch recovery http://bit.ly/I2mP0P
Type: su
After that, cd to the location of the .img file: (i.e. if it was on the root of the sd card then...)
cd /sdcard/
Finally, flash the image to the recovery partition:
dd if=recovery-xxx.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34
Here's the best place to start looking for answers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44905464
If coming from ios, realize there are a lot more people involved in the rom/themeing process so be more patient.
However, above all remember to search first. Probably 90% of whatever you are looking for has already been asked, so save yourself the heartache and try searching first.
After that, there are tons of people here to help you if the above tips don't work. Just understand that you have to put a little effort on your part first if you have an issue, that way it makes it easier for others to help troubleshoot.
Good luck and welcome to the community!

I followed the directions from a few posts above.
First, download android terminal emulator from play store.
Second, move the recovery file to the root of sdcard, noting the filename. (in my screenshot, the file is named the same as yours openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7vzw )
Open terminal emulator. In first window, type in "su" without quotations in the command line and hit enter. Wait for the popup to allow root access and allow it. On the returned command line, type in "cd /sdcard/" without quotations and hit enter. The returned command line should say something like "[email protected]:/sdcard"
Type the command "dd if=openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7vzw.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34" without quotations and hit enter.
Should look something like this:
