You'll need to get the android SDK for OSX. It will include the adb tool, just like the SDK for Windows and Linux.
where can i get that at?
mac android sdk wow its amazing what a simple google search can get you
okay i downloaded it but how the heck do you install it? i found a few sites that explain but why go through all of that trouble just to get the usb to work?
seems pretty complicated to get the usb to work on osx and windows. i have windows 7 installed in a virtual machine and i still can't get the os to recognize my android vogue phone. it wont let me install the driver?

Alright, enough of the bickering. I just installed everything on my Mac and it was tedious but once you get it you'll be glad you did.
1) Download the SDK for Mac (I believe you have already done this) and extract it anywhere. I just put mine in /Users/<my_user_name>/Downloads/
2) If you are lacking a .bash_profile file (like I was), open Terminal and type
Code:
touch .bash_profile
this will create the .bash_profile file for you. Then,
Code:
open -e .bash_profile
this will open the file you just created in TextEdit to allow you to edit and add your PATH so you don't have to type in where you extracted the files to every time.
3) Add this line to your .bash_profile file
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:*<your_sdk_dir>*/tools
Where <your_sdk_dir> is the full path to the android sdk folder (type carefully, remove < > brackets). For example, mine was /Users/<my_user_name>/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_x86-1.5_r3/
4) Save the file and quit TextEdit. Also, quit Terminal and open another window. It should give you no errors when you open Terminal.
Now you should be able to type
Code:
adb devices
into Terminal and see your phone listed as device.
To see more about ADB, look on the Adroid developer site: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

Ok got it to work,
okay my converter sux I got it .D if you could post more info to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4385729 your tutorial for Hero could be much more simpler...
and dont forget to give credits plx .D
best regards
I had mentioned your thread as a credit in my blog post. Maybe I will make it bold now . And I know it could be simpler. When I have time I could write a tool to insert the xml generated by Amber Nokia convertor into the SQL Lite databases directly without doing all the hacks i.e. merging a tutorial to convert NOkia->WM and then WM->Android. The WM bit isn't really necessary tbh.
Sorry I just noticed.. I forgot to include the link to your post and only included the modaco ones SOrry for that.. Done it now
iphone to htc hero???
anyone?
Almost there, but a little help needed please
Hi, have followed all the steps and got a saved copy of import.xml.
Next I connected the phone using the USB cable. (Didn't mount it as a USB device)
Then I opened Command Promt on my PC and changed to the android SDK tools directory.
Then I type "adb shell" (without quotes)
It says:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
$
At this point the phone disconnects from HTC Sync and I have to end adb.exe (which appears twice) in windows task manager to get it to reconnect to sync.
Any suggestions please?
If it disconnects from HTC Sync, it's fine as long as you get the shell prompt

Maybe not. To be honest I'm starting to feel a bit out of my depth here. I don't really have any programming knowledge and haven't really used dos much before. I'll go and research 'rooting' now, but if you can come back with a quick instruction in the meantime that'd be great
Ok, so I've found various instruction for how to root my phone. Only problem is that they each seem to relate to what network I'm on. I was originally on T-Mobile, but paid to have it unlocked so I can use my 3 sim. Should I just use the instruction relating to T-Mobile? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm a bit worried about permanently wrecking the phone

Ok, if I use the instructions here (my ROM version is 2.73.+) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4525393&postcount=1 do you think it should be ok? I am a bit worried about the part where it says "flashrec is using an exploit that isn't patched yet in the current kernel used by HTC, however if/when HTC patches this, flashrec will stop working. So for now it's ok but a next version might have patched this, so keep this in mind !"

Yup that one should work.
Hi, i have been looking through some of the rooting, flash threads on here and there is a bit too much information,lol.
Can anyone detail the basic steps, software required to roll my X10 back to the 1.6 OS?
I am still having connectivity issues when trying to use the handset in the car.
The vehicle manufactures website shows that the Xperia X10i is compatible with their factory fitted handsfree systems, but only on OS 1.6.
1. Download this and extract in any folder of your computer:megaupload.com/?d=HCWX4KO3 (The credits of this goes for its creators)
2. Open the folder that its named 1_firmware and in the fileDeviceID.txt copy yours, save and close. (This is the same as the one used on the flashtools of Bin4ry)
This is how you can get your DeviceID on Windows: (Again thanks tojimbo77)
2.1: Connect your phone to the computer on the USB port you are going to use to flash it.
2.2: Press start (or windows icon) and in the run box type regedit
2.3: Click edit>find, and type in Vid_0fce&Pid_adde. You should find "DeviceInstance". If that fails, make sure Match whole stringis un-ticked, and click find next or press f3, if that fails, tryUSB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE. Copy the last section of that, it should look something like "5&2888d0ff&0&1".
Note: It changes with every diffrent USB port you use....3. Download your Firmware, extract it and copy all the files on it to the 1_firmware folder. You don't have to erase anything from this folder, unless you got the message to replace a file.
4. Now run the RootX10a_v2.cmd and select step 1 and follow the instructions. If done correctly you will see a window that starts to write and write and write a lot of things. This process will take around 5 minutes, so be patient. (It is like if you were flashing your phone)
5. Turn your phone on and wait until you get the configuration screen.
6. Now connect the phone to the PC and run PC Companion or SEUS. If it shows that there is a new software for your phone, follow the instructions and update if you want.
7. Enjoy your phone on Android OS 1.6 or 2.1 with your operator
Thank you on anticipation to any help offered.
I have had a look here, but am not 100% if this is all that i need to do?
Sorry, not able to post the link, being a new user.
The one part that is not clear to me is where they say, "Open the folder that its named 1_firmware and in the fileDeviceID.txt copy yours, save and close"
What is it that im supposed to copy?
No.. no...
You need the flashtool and the 1.6 files..
I cant seem to find the 1.6 files...
Why do you need 1.6?
SE seem to have done something with the update 2.1 where the phones Bluetooth will connect to my vehicle, but only for about 40 seconds, then removes its self and then re attaches, then removes its self again and this goes on for the duration the handset is in the car with me.
The handset i have just now was a replacement for my original and came with the 2.1 OS already updated.
The original 1.6 OS that was on the phone connected to my vehicle and gave me phonebook access.
I have neither now hence why i wish to roll back to the software that is compatible with my vehicles system. 1.6 buildR1FA016 Kernel 2.6

Thanks for the above, but can you break this into more simple instructions, links etc as this is way above me. I'm not totally useless, but i have never done anything like this, so it is all double dutch to me at this point in time,lol.
Download the flashtool from androxyde's thread then follow the instructions to flash the latest FW, then reboot your phone plug it in and press root on the flashtool and then reboot and install XRecovery and use it to install a custom ROM by following the directions in a ROM thread.
Just start by reading the Flashtool thread.

Had a read at the flash tool thread and even more confused now, too much information and no understanding of what it all means.
I am looking for someone who can supply links to what i actually need to roll the phone back.
What software do i require.
Do i have to root the phone and if so, how do you do this?
I did say in the thread title an "Idiots Guide". Simple and straightforward instructions that a first timer can comprehend, similar to the text in my first post, bullet points?
Thanks.

I did and it's version this and version that. So which version is it that i actually need without screwing up my phone?
Suppose i'm more looking for something along the lines of what you would get if you downloaded a torrent file, where everything is in the one folder, inc the instructions.
Anyway, hopefully problem is sorted, as i am ditching SE after 10 years of using their handsets and going to Samsung which is compatible with my vehicles factory fitted system.

you just have to put the firmware update on the micro sd, in a subfolder in the instructions in the download it tells you which folder
you then just pull the battery and reboot- it sees the folder and updates it.
only issue is it originally thought I was in London but that was easily resolved .
just make sure you look under the battery for the right model information

Hi this is my first thread and i really dont know how this works but heres the problem
i bought a nexus 4 16gb from a guy on craigslist and it has a wierd rom in it, it is still 4.2 and i am unable to get updates on it. i browsed around and landed on a forum that said about it being some kind of debugger/developers rom that google uses. i dont have a lot of feature i can't connect it to computer to root it and neither can i transfer file from computer for exaple music or pictures.
The build number is:
full_mako-userdebug 4.2 lgep19
eng.seungju24.choi.20121114.105751 test-keys
If you want your phone back to stock and unroot you'll need to access a PC and follow this guide.

This will put the phone how it comes out of the box. Otherwise if rooted and has custom recovery why not stay rooted and flash different 4.2.1 roms?

1) That's a Debug ROM
2) It shouldn't be used as an actual ROM. Download this: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B_zuNWpIf1ujNlFDVnZ3dzg2WEU&export=download
3) Extract it.
4) Turn off your phone, then hold Power and Volume Down. When you see the Android on it's back, connect the phone to the computer and run the flash-all.bat in the folder.
5) Wait and then you're done.
