SuperCID on Mac OSX

Okay, I'm about to pull my hair out. I've Googled this, I've looked for YouTube videos for this, and I've even looked on here for this.
I found one post about obtaining SuperCID on Mac, but the post ends with no real solution (that I can see).
I'm trying to get SuperCID but I do not own a Windows PC. I downloaded the SDK for Mac on the Android Dev site, but what now? I don't know where to go from there.
Can anyone help me?

Set up adb (make sure you have the htc drivers), open utilities, then terminal, cd to your adb directory, write in commands from dev section with ./ in front (ex: ./adb devices)

Couldn't you use VirtualBox on your mac to install linux (ubuntu or something) and do it the proper way using revolutionary.io and the android SDK?

I thought the drivers could only be set up on Windows.

[GUIDE] Set up ADB & fastboot on Mac OSX
Make sure you have already downloaded the ADB & fastboot files and that they at located in a directory that is easy for you to find (example: /Users/home/Android-sdk/platform-tools).
1) you have two options for using ADB & fastboot:
open terminal and navigate to your directory containing ADB and fastboot **if using this method skip to step 5, also you should note that you will need to add "./" (without the quotes) to the beginning of each ADB or fastboot command (example: ./adb devices)**
configure ADB & fastboot to run natively (recommended) **if using this method proceed to next step**
2) make an entry in ~/.bash_profile configuration file by executing the following command in terminal:
Code:
nano ~/.bash_profile
3) the corresponding file will open in a text editor window, add the following line of text, save your changes, and exit text editor:
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:your_sdk_dir
(example: export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/home/android-sdk/platform-tools)
4) execute the following command in terminal, then quit terminal:
Code:
source ~/.bash_profile
5) check if all is working by entering the following command in terminal (your phone should be connected to your Mac via USB and must have USB debugging enabled):
Code:
adb devices
(you should see your device serial number returned. if device is not found move on to step 6)
6) if necessary, install HTC driver, and run the above command again - can be done by:
installing naked htc driver (can be found in dev section)
installing PDAnet which installs the drivers for many Android devices

Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:your_sdk_dir
(example: export PATH=${PATH}:Users/home/android-sdk/platform-tools)

6) check if all is working by entering the following command in terminal:

(you should see your device serial number returned)
7) follow steps as normal for superCID by entering fastboot commands in terminal (found in dev section)

Fastboot/ADB & Phone drivers Without Admin rights

Any way to setup a computer with ADB and Fastboot without admin rights? Can I setup up a flash drive with Fedora or Ubuntu, boot into that and get access? If so how do you set up drivers and adb on a linux distro.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

I'm using Linuxmint 12 and I have ADB setup. Just click on the other platforms option and it gives you a pretty accurate description of how to set it up on linux.
I'm actually having a problem with using "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" on the bootloader unlock process because I get an error in the terminal saying the fastboot command isn't recognized in the terminal.

On Linux, I'm pretty sure all you need is the adb or fastboot executable. However, you must run it as root (either sudo or su into root). You can grab the exectuables by download the Android SDK.

If it's saying it can't find the fastboot executable, you're probably not in the same folder as fastboot. Type 'ls' and see if you see fastboot in the list. If it's not there, it won't work.

Hi,
is it just me or is there no answer to the question of the first post? Is there any way to install adb on a win Pc without admin rights?
regards

[TOOL] Android ADB and Fastboot MSI installer with PATH variable

Description
After always having to search for the latest versions of Android's ADB and Fastboot tools instead of downloading the whole Android SDK for just 1 mb in a few files, I decided to make my own MSI installer using the latest versions of ADB and Fastboot.
You can install it wherever you want and it will work from any path in the command prompt. The installer will append the installation folder location to the system PATH variable, allowing you to run ADB or Fastboot without you having to change the command prompt path to where they are installed.
This installer is 32-bit and 64-bit compatible.
Usage
The default installation path is C:\ADB so you can easily add your flashable files in there.
After installing Android ADB Fastboot you can open a command prompt and type adb or fastboot commands right away, you don't need to change paths. Keep in mind that you need admin privileges, though.
To open a command prompt with administrator rights on Windows 8, just right click on the bottom left corner of the screen or use the Win+X shortcut and then click on Command Prompt (Admin).

If you have Windows 7 or Vista, the quickest way to do it is to type CMD on the Start Menu search box and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just pressing Enter.

Requisites
You need to have ADB Debugging under Developer Options on your device. You also need the drivers for every device you want to use with ADB installed and working.
You can type adb devices on a command prompt. If your device is listed, the drivers are working and good to go for ADB and Fastboot use.

Download
I will always check the ADB version whenever a new Android SDK is released and I will update my installer when needed.
The download link and screenshots are on my website.

Have you tried running it from the C:\ADB path just in case? Maybe try PowerShell instead of the command prompt. I don't really know what else you can try if even the SDK is not working for you.

Try using PowerShell. Also, see if you are able to run the ADB that comes with the SDK but run it from the folder where it is located.

Platform-tools problems

can anyone help? I use platform-tools and it's not connecting I hope there is a solution here

The so-called Platform Tools contain among others the 2 programs/drivers ADB and Fastboot
Only to clarify things:
ADB
is a protocol that allows you to communicate with an Android device that got booted, means its main Android OS is running
At Windows command prompt you enter commands - one by one -
Code:
adb devices
adb <ANY_SUPPORTED_ADB_SUBCOMMAND>
FASTBOOT
is a program used to manipulate (list, install, erase) the non-volatile memory such as flash filesystem partitions on devices that adhere to the fastboot protocol, via a USB connection from a host computer. It requires that the device be started in a boot loader mode with the fastboot protocol enabled.
IMPORTANT: Fastboot will only work if the OEM/Carrier has included support for the Fastboot protocol.
At Windows command prompt you enter commands - one by one -
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot <ANY_SUPPORTED_FASTBOOT_SUBCOMMAND>
