Your phone is in fastboot mode, so of course adb commands don't work

in recovery mode works!
Just got my Galaxy Nexus today. How would I root my GNex with a MacBook Pro?

The same method works on Mac, so long as you've installed ADB and Fastboot. No worries.
It's the same method, download the SDK and have the folder on your desktop. Make sure all the files you need i.e. fastboot, superboot r3, and are in the platform-tools folder of the SDK. You don't need to worry about drivers since its on a mac, coming from windows at first i had no idea about that xD.
I am running tests on my new mac to see if i can root my galaxy nexus to install the tablet mod. Anyway, when i type adb devices or anything of the sort it tells me my device is offline. I have googled it with no results of how to make device online.
So my question is how do I make my device online so i can execute commands?
I have usb debugging on.
Phone is offline when booted, but also did not work in recovery mode which is what i want.
I'm on Android 4.0.4 if that matters.
Any other questions please ask!
Thank you amazing brainiacs of XDA!
So you have terminal pointed to the folder where you have ADB at, and you're using the command:
Code:
./adb devices
Right?
I had to do nothing special. Download ADB, plug in phone + turn on USB debugging, and I was good to go.
I did it with mine using the method I sis with my old nexus s 4g. Here's a video I made.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP9ZDWmbLVM&feature=youtube_gdata_player just follow the instructions but make sure u use a galaxy nexus recovery.img and not the nexus s 4g.

Yes I type that command and it comes back with (my device id) : offline
Could it be my usb cable?

I'm gong to explain this once more because realized I missed saying something. When I type a command in terminal it works. I can type ./adb devices and it will show my device. The problem comes when I type say ./adb pull. Instead of pulling what I asked, it says "error device offline." Has anyone experienced this?

I'm going to root and pull framework-res.apk so I can edit books.XML to rid of the nav bar. I like to do things myself if I can figure them out haha. But I'm stumped :/

ADB won't work in recovery...can you see it in recovery with Fastboot?
Yes, the device is recognized In recovery, fastboot, and regularly booted. I just cannot issue a command. Anything I type for example ( ./adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk) it tells me cannot issue command, device offline. Hopefully that makes sense!

You can't/don't have to be in recovery to use ADB... you need your phone on! Fast boot commands = recovery, ADB commands = phone in android.

I know this. I'm saying any command, adb or fastboot. Returns the same response "phone offline" in every state. Last night when I used adb my phone was on in android, but returned the same error "phone offline, cannot execute command.) even when I type adb devices it shows my phone as plugged in but next to it it shows my phone is offline. How do I make the phone online? The phone was on the homescreen with adb debugging on. I cannot issue any other command when my phone is offline.

I want everyone reading this to know that I know when to use adb and fastboot. My problem is I cannot use them because my Mac terminal says my device is offline. I read on Google it should be online, but have yet to find a way to make it online. That is my question

That sounds like a driver issue...I'm horribly unfamiliar with Macs, but you can try uninstall and re-install of the drivers?
This help?

Please don't post wrong information. You can use adb in either recovery or in the OS. Fastboot commands can only be used when booted into fastboot mode (i.e., the bootloader), not in recovery.

And now for some reason it is working. thank you to everyone that helped! Love ya XDA
Is it possible for me to root my galaxy nexus with my macbook pro ?
Absolutely. Look at any "manual method" guide that requires command line. Download ADB and Fastboot for OSX. Any time you see a command like "Fastboot flash <file>" just put a "./" in front of it in Terminal, like this:
Code:
./fastboot flash <file>
Here are the ADB and Fastboot files if you need them.
I tried to myself and gave up and used one of the kids win XP netbooks. It worked so much easier for me.

Hi,
Can anyone please help rooting a brand new ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML using a Mac OSX Yosemite? I am a newbee to Android and want to install Ubuntu using LinuxDeploy.
Thanks in advance !
I don't know how to do it on MacOS so I recommend you to bootcamp to Windows and do everything with your phone

Hey,
Did you figure it out yet? as long as you have the drivers, you basically just run everything through terminal instead of command prompt.
actually its easier on OSX, no need to install any driver, just plug your phone and open terminal.
taken from this thread :
Asus Zenfone 2 | Resources all in one thread
3.1) Rooting Zenfone 2
Method 3 (1 CLICK ROOT TOOL):
Download 1 Click root tool fromMEGA https://mega.co.nz/#!R8k0zACY!xaiNnxyAijsUwJL3l9koo1Iyr-pIjQmwVkVE8A_lv8Y
or from Google Drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B936USMlQhtKbmZLZDE3N1JMazA/view?usp=sharing
Unzip and run root.sh
open terminal, cd to directory or drag the folder to terminal then type
Code:
[B]./root.sh[/B]
basically, every linux method on that thread working on OSX too.
hope it help.
