You'll need to get android sdk for mac and use the equivilent of adb.exe.
I am in the same boat as you.... waiting... with a mac...
I've rooted it successfully using Parallels (win7) on Snow Leopard.

The main issue here is the lack of flashing tools for the mac. So far both Omnious and the Flash Tool are windows only.

I have.
If you have an Intel based mac, use Parallels (or VMware).
You might be able to get away with Qemu or bootcamping windows will work.
Just dont try to root from the desktop (virtual folder! the script wont work) but from root (C:\).
Also (maybe also on native windows) you have to connect the phone in 1 second or the script wil quit with error. Start the script, connect the phone, press any key to continue..
Btw, I did this on a normal laptop (Dell XPS m1530) running OSX SL 10.6.4 (99,9% native install), virtualizing Win7 to flash

One of those times I feel like saying "get a real computer" will fix your issue
First time i couldn't root my phone (also mac with parallels on).
I used the root files from the Bin4ry, Each time step 2 won't work.
Than reading the whole guide i saw Proyaz bunch of files with recently new firmware for x10i, an R2b020 (i think),
This time i had to try three times the root.
First time step 2 wouldnt' work, after retry of step 1 step worked. But then after step 2 i had no sudo rights?, again tried this time, in the meanwhile i was changing clothes for a party, Tada, after third time it worked flawless.
So yes, you can root from mac xD

I have to post this guide so much haha, and yes you can update, assuming its EE4 and not some random new update I wasn't aware of, EE4 is what all the themes and ROMs and such are built on, plus the update itself is incredible with the browser fix and 4G fix and other awesome fixes
Thank you! I didn't know that guide would work for mac. I will try it now...

Is there a current rooting method for Mac OS?
Currently running 3.1 on WW.
If no one has a method yet, and you don't want to wait, I would suggest using a friends or relatives PC.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
If you are on 3.0, I think you can root via GingerbreakBB, but it would be a manual procedure. Maybe... or maybe it's the wine talking.

I really don't know Mac OS, I saw a Mac only in picture but...
i think the intel based macintosh are able to boot from a linux live-cd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198303
As stated here:

you have to press "c" during startup to boot from cd.
If you try this and if it works, can you please report back?

If that doesn't work, then I think you can get something called refit or rEFIt, but not r3fIt
You can burn it to a CD/USB and it will allow you to dual boot. It does not require writing anything to the drive.

Really? I'll definitely try that out! Thanks so much!
No problem. I'm on a late 2009 MBP OS X 10.7.4. I virtualized Windows 7.
I installed Parallels Tools before installing the Samsung Drivers. It might work if you do one before the other, but I'm just letting you know my setup to have it work best for you.
I would advise just don't let the computer sleep or hibernate during the flashing process, as I can't vouch for those actions.
I also did it with Parallels in Full Screen mode.
Good luck!
Thanks for the FYI! Would love to know if anyone has done it "natively"

Alright I bought this phone for the simple fact that it is an update from the u8652. I tried superoneclick and unlock root. I cant get this phone to root at all. Unlock root gives me an error that shell root failed. Superoneclick says it cant get permission and it cant remount the device. Im lost . Anyone with any advice please feel free.
I'm having the same issue. I tried gingerbreak and z4root and had no luck. I can't find anything about it online
I can help.
Look download and install unlockroot on your pc unlockroot.com and put phone in debug mode settings-application-development and enable debugging and the click root and see if it works! Can it play temple run?

I tried that, but it said it failed to get shell root. A lot of the Huawei devices are supported, but I didn't see any of them that had 2.3.6.
Hopefully someone will figure something out. I bought this as a spare phone, and it would be great to get rid of all the bloatware and rev it up a little bit.
Yes, I am having the very same problem. I have tried ZRoot, Ginger Break, Unlock Root, just to name a few. Still no luck. Please help.

Try this.
Try using this method for the Fusion 1 but don't install any Fusion/Sonic roms because the CPU on the Fusion 2 is faster and it will cause malfunctioning. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494843 :good:

Ok sorry let me start off by apologizing I was using the wrong version of Super One Click.
List of everything I am/have done so that maybe you can pinpoint anything I may be missing or doing wrong:
Installed Android SDK
Installed Java SE DEV KIT 7 update 9
Installed SuperOneClick 2.3.3
Made sure SD card is unmounted
Put phone in USB debugging mode
Turned on Log Switch
Set Log Setting to Verbose
Rebooted phone
Run SuperOneClick 2.3.3
Then I get stuck at step 7 Program stops responding
Hope you might have a clue what to do from here and thanks for your help either way. I tried to send a screenshot but it won't let me post links yet. If you need one send me a email same screen name at gmail
Unlockroot
You need unlockroot wich is better than superone click try it see if it works.
Forgot to explain things better.
in sdk manager you need to select android sdk tools and android sdk platform tools with a ckeck mark and then select install packages.

Hi everyone,
I need a little help here as I find myself stuck between a lot of possibilities and I don't know which one to take or generally what to do.
My girlfriend has an HTC One S4 with unlocked bootloader (HBOOT 2.15), recovery installed, running Viper ROM 3.1.
However because she only has the 1.15 RADIO on the device it tends to reboot quite a lot and she can't have a phone that reboots that often to use on a daily basis.
I want to S-OFF the device so I can upgrade the RADIO.
I've heard of Moonshine method and rumrunner method, however both of these only work with fastboot drivers installed and working.
This is not the case for her S4. I have a desktop (win 8.1, with USB 2 and USB 3.0) and a laptop (win 8.0 with only USB 3).
And none of them can find the device when it is connected while in fastboot. Therefore I can't S-OFF the device that way..
Could anyone point me in the right direction or have some suggestions on what to do?

Did you try a Ubuntu Live CD? That's what I had to do to get things working reliably.
How did you install fastboot and adb?

No I haven't tried with an Ubuntu Live CD, and tbh I'm not that well known in the Linux systems.
Well I installed the Google Drivers from the "Android SDK Manager" and I tried a lot of different methods I found on posts alike.
The problem is that neither of my two computers can find the device when it's connected and in fastboot.

Is it a unbranded phone hboot 2.15 eu ??
For me Facepalm was the only wotking one.
The biggest problem is that without adb and fastboot working, you probably won't get anywhere.
The reason I mentioned the Ubuntu live CD is that I have working fastboot and adb and still had problems with windows 7.
I finally created the Ubuntu live CD (actually USB) and it worked. It doesn't take too long to create the live CD/USB and it's worth a try.

Well tbh I don't know if it is unbranded - Since I don't know what that term means.
We live in Denmark and I think she got the phone from germany - bought on a sale somewhere.
Whenever it was booting up (before I rooted and unlocked the bootloader) it came with a splash screen saying "T-Mobile".
Does that mean it is branded to T-Mobile?

The LiveCD/LiveUSB sounds like an idea and will be my first attempt after "trying" Win 7.
Does the moonshine S-OFF method only support Stock ROM/Firmwares?
I guess I am to try the rumrunner method once on the LiveCD/LiveUSB.
Thanks in advance and again I will return when I know more

I am sitting on a LiveUSB right now, but I find that the instructions on the rumrunner webpage doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
It goes through the first steps and I will get to answer ''Yes'' twice.
After a please wait message I get: "ERROR: run rumrunner again and READ (no adb connection to device. Debugging on? Drivers?)
I followed the instructions to perfection. Will I need to install drivers on Linux?

Do you have USB Debugging on? When you are booted into the phone and connected to the computer. Type adb devices and see if it returns a valid value (not offline).
No, you don't have to install drivers on Linux. Also I never was able to get anything but moonshine.io working.
