unplug your device. and disable usb debugging. now go to settings>applications>usb settings and select mass storage. Now go turn back on usb debugging and plug it in to your computer. It should mount in finder. If not, just tell me. I wrote the Mac section of the guide so I should be able to help

Nope followed that and nothing happened. It did not mount in finder.

Ok I think I got it rooted but how can I tell?

you need to enable usb debugging in order to get mounted in mac
settings>applications> development > USB debugging
a popup will show and you need to click OK to get it work

[RESOLVED] Charge root problem - adb drivers

Edit: Kept messing around until my Charge finally mounted itself again as a CD drive; then I opened the "drive" and quickly grabbed the USB driver package, which I installed from the desktop. Now my Charge is recognized and I was able to root using adb with no problem.
The driver package is an 8.1MB .exe file; PM me if you need it emailed to you.
Problem:
I'm trying to root my Charge and can't get adb to see the device. I have Samsung drivers installed and my Fascinate is seen just fine. Not only can I not access the Charge via adb, I can't even connect to USB storage to see the Micro-SD card on it.
Any help much appreciated!
Edit: Thanks to a post by imnuts on another forum, I learned that the Charge has its own drivers which can be installed if it is first connected with USB debugging turned OFF. It mounts as a virtual CD drive, from which the drivers can be installed. This at least allows me to open the SD card on the device. However, when I turn USB debugging back on, my computer STILL can't find the drivers and isn't happy with any directory I point it to.

Hi - Would really appreciate your help here. Thanks for the tip on turning debugging off to get to the phone so I could install the USB drivers. Problem now is that ADB just refuses to connect to it. It shows up asa disk drive in Devices, but when I do a kill-server then start-server then adb devices, it doesn't list any devices, and an adb shell just says device not found.
Do I need to reboot Windows, or the phone? Seems unlikely. I can open a window to the phone, but can't get access to install the Gingerbreak and su files I need to root it. Going crazy!
Thanks,
Eric

Try rebooting both. Couldn't hurt.
Oh yeah, and if you haven't make sure the phone is back in debug mode.

Well, I'll be a monkey's brother in law. I rebooted both, checked debig mode - and it wasn't on, to my surprise. I've turned it on and off a bunch of times, so...
Anyway, I was able to finally get adb working!!! Yaaaayyy! But now I'm trying to root it, and Superuser doesn't show as an app, and Root Explorer says the f-er isn't rooted. And the Gingersnap Root Utility I've been trying to use, says it's all good to go, but its not.
Gonna try a different method, but if anyone has any ideas, I'm open.
Thanks!!!!

Use gingerbreak.
You gotta download superuser from the market

Try downloading busybox from the market, or downloading titanium backup and hit the "problems" button when you open it and select get busy box

Tried GingerBreak. No good. "permission denied".

Good idea - I got Busybox installed this way, but still no joy from Gingerbreak.

If I could flash anything I'd be rooted already, wouldn't I? How do I flash? ROM Manager needs root. Vicious circle.
I've heard that its not possible to root the Charge using current methods since the f-ing update the other day.

Check the development thread for the Charge. There's a thread on how to rollback to ED1 with root using Odin.

Dude - THANK YOU!!!! I could not get those drivers to install!!!
Please - Stickie!!!

If you want the drivers and don't trust the sources posted anywhere (we're not trustworth ?) you can get them from the phone itself. They are located in the file /system/etc/autorun.iso and you can extract them from it.

Thx! But no go! grrrrrr lol

Make sure that the Check of "Usb as storage only" under storage settings is disabled. Then try rebooting your pc and phone, that works for my.

That message just means hes using adb commands under a folder where adb isnt at.

Did you ever get this working? I have tried with USB debugging off and on, tried all the options under the default connection type. What else can I do to get this to connect to my Mac? I don't see anything that is labeled "MASS USB STORAGE".

[Q] Installed Viper, Missing Stock Messaging App

Hey All-
n00b question:
I installed ViperXL 3.2.7, and I'm missing the stock messaging app...how do I get it? I verified that my Voice (Phone) and Cellular Network are working.
Thanks.

I would redownload, check md5 and reflash. It's not normal to be missing the stock messaging app.

Did you check it in the installer to not install? If so, just go through the install again without wiping data except this time uncheck HTC Messages (I think that is what it is called) so it will install.

Cool. That did it. Another quick question: whenever I try to connect to my MacBook via USB, it keeps prompting me with HTC Sync Manager. When I unmount the drive, it'll try to mount the stock USB drive, but will sit there in loading limbo.
EDIT
To state this a bit more clearly: I don't want the shoddy HTC Sync Manager, all I want to do is mount my phone as a USB drive, but I can't do that because HTC Sync Manager takes over.

Don't know about Macs. Try to Google the drivers. And uninstall HTC sync. Isn't macs Unix based? It should pick it up.

Thanks for the feedback.
I uninstalled the HtcSyncManager.apk via Root Explorer. My Notification bar shows the USB as connected, but my MacBook doesn't show my One X as mounted. It did mount the One X when I had HtcSyncManager installed, but didn't give me access to my internal storage; instead, it gave me a link to install the Sync Manager software. I had no issues with USB mounting with Sense prior to rooting and flashing ViperXL.

JB update removed the use of the generic mass storage device driver handling the one x drive mount. I remember someone mentioning it may be possible to change that? That is was some sort of setting. If I were to guess, I would say it would either be a setting within the viper tweaks or within Developer options. I'm not a sense user so I can't verify.
Can anyone that uses sense verify this?

there is a app in the latest viper xl rom called venom sd manager that can change it back to mass storage as to the link to install htc sync you can disable that in venom tweaks

It does launch, but mass storage does not get mounted. One thing I've noticed is that USB debugging is enabled. I've tried disabling it, but it doesn't want to stay off.

i think it is coded for usb debugging to stay on i have noticed this on the stock rom too as for the mounting i dont know what to tell you i know nothing about macs will it mount in recovery
edit i think when he said uninstall htc sync he was talking about on your computer not your phone

Looks like ICS moved away from mass storage to mtp. Here's a thread detailing the same issue I'm experiencing. That...kinda sucks.
EDIT
Looks like mtp doesn't play well with 'nix, which is kinda blowing my mind, because it does play well with Windows. For OSX, you need to install the Android File Transfer.
