Greetings,
after a while at the forums i noticed a lack of info for Mac users;
So, today i´m gonna teach how to root and install a custom recovery, via MacOS.
I'm not responsible for any harm in your device(s); do it at your own risk.
First comes first, so you´re gonna need to download adb/fastboot for Mac; here´s the link where you can download it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237
Then, from one of the 2 custom recoveries, you have to choose one; they´re both very simple to use, so...choose one (Chainfire recommends Clockworkmod):
For Clockworkmod, the link is :
http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
For Team Win Recovery Project, the link is:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/find5/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-find5.img
Make a shortcut of "Terminal" at the Desktop; you can add it from \Applications\Utilities.
You can root your phone too; the best, for me, is SuperSU from Chainfire;
http://download.chainfire.eu/204
After download all the files you´re gonna need, now there´s how to do it.
1 - Place the "android" downloaded directory in Desktop;
2 - Copy the recovery you chose and SuperSu to "android" directory;
3 - Shutdown your Find5;
4 - Turn it on to Fastboot pressing Power and Volume Up same time until appears at the screen the image 1;
5 - Plug your Find5 to your Mac via USB;
6 - Open a terminal, and type:
cd desktop
cd android
./fastboot devices
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-find5.img
7 - Unplug your Find5 and turn it off pressing power button for about 10 seconds;
8 - Turn your Find5 on to recovery pressing Power and Volume Down same time...it´s gonna take a while.
You have now a custom recovery installed in your Find5.
To Root it via ClockWorkMod, follow the next instructions:
1 - Plug your Find5 to your Mac, while you are in recovery;
2 - Select "install zip from sideload" using your volume buttons to navigate and power as enter;
3 - At the "terminal" type:
./adb sideload CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip
4 - At recovery, press "reboot system"; it´s gonna appear the image 2, please don´t freak out, it´s normal.
You have now a Find5 rooted.
Cheers
Special thanks to:
All the guys at ClockWorkMod, Team Win Recovery Project, Chainfire and AshtonTS.

For all having problems making root/recovery/flash like I did I'm writing some things I did do get it going:
(1st time flashers) All the steps
On tattoo:
- Boot on your stock recovery and wipe cache then factory reset.
- Reboot
On PC:
- Install HTC Sync on your PC and optionally install Android SDK Tools. Update SDK Tools with SDK Manager.
- Download latest 1Click update by tenis and extract it to C:\ so you have rtattoo on hard disk root.
- Download the latest cyanogenmod and gapps for your device and put it on the root of your sdcard.
On tattoo:
- Select USB Debugging Mode ON to Application/Development
- Connect tattoo to PC and select HTC Sync
On PC:
- Try to run "adb devices" from (c:\rtattoo\adb.exe) on command prompt, it must show your device attached, if it says that adb is deprecated you can replace it with the one on SDK Tools you've installed
- Close terminal and hit rootTattoo on rtattoo folder.
- If it's showing a number on terminal the application found your CID, write it down or make a printscreen if you didn't a goldcard and want to make it later with your sdcard.
- Hit any key to start. It will run all the way without taking anymore action from you and it automatically reboots tattoo.
Now you have recovery installed.
- Turn off the phone.
- Press home button and without releasing it press power button and hold the two together until the clockworkmod recovery shows up.
- Select Backup to backup your current ROM, you will need it if you want to go to stock ROM
- Reboot if you want to make sure everything is OK and get into recovery again
- Select wipe cache/factory reset from the menu using your D-Pad.
( BE CAREFUL now, you should have your battery with a good amount of charge, make a full charge before just to be sure)
- After the wipe select update from zip file, go thru you card and select the cyanogenmod zip to flash your rom.
- After flash go back on the menu and select reboot device.
Wait patiently for the full boot, it can take several minutes, the rom is being configured.
After the android skater shows up wait a bit more and the operating system will start.
Don't rush into the phone once it gets started up, let it settles and start all services.
After that, since you are rooted, with recovery and flashed, the last thing is to reboot on recovery, select update from zip and hit the gapps zip file to get the google apps instaled (optional)
Thanks to:
- tenis that guide me thru the process and updated his thread to the latest clockworkmod
- maverick, kalim and everyone involved on this 1Click Procedure
And of course thanks to the cyanogen and clockworkmod developer teams
Have a nice android experience
Or you can download Universal androot and rom manager to have clockworck mod recovery in 2 steps...
Well you're right but that didn't work for me.
Androot OK, flashed by rom manager supposedly OK but, on boot clockworkmod never showed up.
1Click is an excellent alternative
Hello,
my tablet has a unlocked bootloader and was on 4.0.3 stock rooted when i did this and thought i would share how i did it, its really fast and easy.
Disclaimer: i am in no way responsible for a bricked or damaged devices, world endings, zombie attacks from using this guide. use at your own risk
Requirements: rooted with a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader. (i used CWM) a tf300t tablet
Recommended: doing the file transfers from pc to device as you go along
Step 1: get all the files you need download
****Version V9.4.3.30 make sure us download the file for US SKU
http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
****Version V10.4.2.9 make sure to download the version for US SKU
http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
Step 2: get the first file ready by unzipping (US_epaduser9_4_3_30UpdateLauncher) so it extracts a zip file called (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30)
-place (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30) on the internal storage of your device.
Step 3: boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache
-then flash the file US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip in recovery
-reboot device
Step 4: one device is rebooted and past the set up screen delete US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip off your internal storage (DO NOT INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY AT THIS POINT)
Step 5 getting jelly bean ready: unzip (US_epaduser_10_4_2_9_UpdateLauncher) so it extracts a file called (US_epad-user-10.4.2.9)
- at that point a triangle with a exclamation point in the middle should appear saying system update file detected
(that same icon and message might pop up while the (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30) is on the internal storage ignore it then, this is why we delete said file before we put the (US_epad-user-10.4.2.9) file on the device)
Step 6: click on the triangle icon on your device and accept the update, your device will reboot and install jelly bean (should take 10 to 15 minutes be patient)
---Once the device reboots it will upgrade and you will be on jelly bean yay
To obtain root follow part 3 of this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377) i will put the intructions here below for those to lazy to click the link
all thanks for rooting instructions go to krabappel2548 thanks man.
rooting and custom recovery
files needed for this process
fastboot and recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?1u44b0w3k1qoy4r
root files: http://www.mediafire.com/?cr209hb5e2fr910
== Part 3 - Install recovery and rooting ==
Let's start with installing the recovery
1) Download these 2 files:
- Jellybean recovery with fastboot files: Fastboot files + JB recovery
- Root files: Root Files
- You can also download the new CWM Touch recovery if you don't like TWRP: CWM Touch recovery thread
2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)
3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader
4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.
5) To flash the recovery type:
- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob
6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.
Now we will root the tablet
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.
9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system
10) Install Supersu from Google Play
11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.
12) Now your tablet should be rooted
hope this helps everyone

This is an effort to write a comprehensive all-in-one guide (for newbies too) to flash ROMS on Huawei S7 Slim 201.
First and foremost you have to root your device (so that you can use certain applications e.g. ROM Manager, Titanium Backup). Do the following:
1. Download SuperOneClick (google it) and extract the files
2. Install Huawei Ideos S7 Slim drivers to your computer (if you have not done it already).
3. Connect your device to your computer via USB. Make sure you have activated USB Debugging on your device. Go to settings > applications > development > tick on USB Debugging.
4. Run SuperOneClick.exe. Disable your Antivirus program before running SuperOneClick (optional but helpful). If the drivers for your device are not installed, SuperOneClick will prompt you to let it find the drivers itself. Press yes and let it continue.
5. Click the root tab. (For my device I had to click root several times because the process got stuck, but eventually it succeeded)
6. After the rooting process ends, reboot your device.
Important notice: Although SuperOneClick confirmed twice that the device was rooted, Titanium Backup could not confirm root. If anyone knows of another way please advise.
Now, in order to flash ROMs do the following:
First of all, you have to install ClockworkMod Recovery on your device. (This will help you to perform many other tasks)
There are two versions of ClockWork Recovery (that I know of).
First one is v2.1.5.8
1. Download the recovery zip (201u.7z) from the attachments .
2. Extract the file.
3. Make sure you have activated USB Debugging on your device. Go to settings > applications > development > tick on USB Debugging
4. Turn off your device and connect it to your computer via USB.
5. Press the volume up key and the power key at the same time until the device enters fastboot mode.
6. Run install.bat (from the unzipped files)
7. When the process ends, reboot your device.
8. With the USB cable connected run reboot into recovery.cmd (from the unzipped files). In the window that will open on the PC, type “adb reboot recovery” without the quotation marks and your device (after a few seconds) will enter recovery mode. (This is something you will have to do every time you enter recovery mode, unfortunately, unless you upgraded to CM9 or CM10 where you can boot to recovery by long pressing the power button anchoosing Reboot> Recovery)
9. When you see the ClockworkMod recovery menu, use the volume up and down keys so many times until the message “back menu button enabled” appears at the end of the screen. Now you can use the power button as ENTER. (This is something you will have to do every time you enter recovery mode, unfortunately too)
Second one is CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2. (credit to WRCODE over at the androidtablets.net that mentioned it)
1. Download the recovery rar (install.rar) from the attachments.
2. Extract the file. (you will find no reboot into recovery.cmd in those files so, either use the one mentioned above, or use ROM Manager or GooManager (from Play Store) to reboot into recovery. Note: Those managers require rooting your device)
3. Make sure you have activated USB Debugging on your device. Go to settings > applications > development > tick on USB Debugging
4. Turn off your device and connect it to your computer via USB.
5. Press the volume up key and the power key at the same time until the device enters fastboot mode.
6. Run install.bat (from the unzipped files)
7. When the process ends, reboot your device.
8a.With the USB cable connected run reboot into recovery.cmd . In the window that will open on the PC, type “adb reboot recovery” without the quotation marks and your device (after a few seconds) will enter recovery mode. (This is something you will have to do every time you enter recovery mode, unfortunately, unless you upgraded to CM9 or CM10 where you can boot to recovery by long pressing the power button and choosing Reboot> Recovery).
8b. Use ROM Manager or GooManager and select reboot recovery.
(this recovery version does not require anything in order for the power button to act as ENTER)
Having successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, you are now ready to flash your custom rom.
1. Find the ROM that best suits you, download it and place the .zip file at the root of your internal SD Card.
2. Enter recovery mode (as explained above) and select wipe data/ factory reset. Once this is done, select wipe cache partition. Once this is done select advanced and then select wipe Dalvik cache. (very important to do all of these steps)
3. Go back at the original menu and select install zip from sdcard. Select choose .zip from sdcard. Select the .zip file that you placed at the internal SD card (make sure that it is the correct one) and press the power button for ENTER.
4. Once the ROM has been successfully flashed select reboot system now and press the power button.
If everything went ok, after a few minutes you will have your first glimpse of your new custom ROM.
Enjoy it and remember “Use the above instructions at your own risk.”
Moving to General.
usb driver for win7
hello. i've been using this tab for a while and would like to root it. sadly when i connected the usb cable to the tab the driver is not installed automatically. so i think maybe i have to install it on my own. but i can't find the driver anywhere, even the official website of huawei. (the page is available but when trying to download, it show "Service Temporarily Unavailable - The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.")
therefore i would like to request if anyone would be kind enough to upload the driver for me to proceed rooting this device.
thanks in advance.

Step 2 - Enable USB Debugging mode in your Nexus 7 tablet.
Step 3 - Download Fastboot and extract it in android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory. Create directory if not already there.
NOTE: Skip Steps 1, 2, 3 if you already have them.
Step 4 - Download SuperSU v1.04 (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip) and copy it to your sdcard on your Nexus 7 tablet.
Step 5 - Make sure you have backup your data as it will be removed. Then switch OFF your Nexus 7.
Step 6 - Download recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-grouper.img and copy/paste it in the android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory.
Step 7 - Now go into Fastboot Mode on Nexus 7. How? Press Volume Down + UP + Power key for a few seconds till you see some text on the screen.
Step 8 - Navigate to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory and open Command Prompt (Shift + Right-click > Open Command Prompt).
Step 9 - Type in the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-grouper.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 10 - Once completed, choose RECOVERY MODE from the Fastboot menu and enter Recovery Mode.

Step 4 and step 7
I am a little confused about step 4 as I didn't think any nexus 7's had a SD card slot. I purchased mine right from google. I just put the zip file directly on the device itself and I know from my experience with my old Nexus One that this works too, just wondering who is selling the one with SD card slots. My second question, and really the more important one is step 7. I have tried to make the device go into fastboot several times and when I hold the volume keys down, the device boots to a black screen with no ability to do anything after that. If I mess with the power button (meaning I hold it in for a long time then let it out, and do this several times) I can get the device to preform a normal boot. Any thoughts?
thanks
Thanks its worked for my nexus 7..

Thanks a million man! I was having all kinds of trouble updating to 4.2.2 and finally figured that out. Then I was having problems rooting again until I found this. Your method worked great but I used TWRP instead and it still did the trick. Thanks again.
I tried this but when I want to flash the recovery, my fastboot.exe will then not respond and will try to close. What gives?
Step 7 - Now go into Fastboot Mode on Nexus 7. How? Press Volume Down + UP + Power key for a few seconds till you see some text on the screen.

Just a quick note here, to enter Fastboot Mode you just need to turn the Nexus 7 off, then turn on again, soon as you see the Google logo press the Volume Down key and hold (Hold both Power button and Volume Down Key).
No need for holding the power button, the vol down button does the whole trick
worked for me. thanks very much

re-install the fastboot with all it's extensions in the same folder!
If you want to use fastboot by a easy way, use this guide you don't need adb line command, just fastboot line command and it's an child game by this way
If you have got a problem with your adb or fastboot or recovery....it's very simply and faster
use this:
Download this file "Fastboot.zip"
Install this file somewhere in one folder which is named "fastboot" on your PC
=> disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "fastboot" and you will find 3 files:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- fastboot.exe
and when you need to push something by the bootloader, you can use it.
Don't forget to push on this folder the file that you need. For exemple: boot.img or a recovery.img, etc...
The line command is :
Code:
c:\fastboot>
Enter
Code:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Enter
If you want to flash the "recovery.img" file
If you want to flash a boot.img:
Code:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img

Yes, it is a prerequisite if you want to root your android device.
Ok, so I am running the 4.2.2 update, and after jumping through numerous hoops trying to have my device recognized by adb, I just want to make sure that my very first step should be to boot up in fastboot mode and then issue the following command...
"fastboot oem unlock"
???
Then I can go ahead and proceed to flashing the CWM recovery and flashing the SuperSU file...?

EDIT: I've tried multiple times, but everytime I boot into "fastboot" mode, which I guess is another way for saying the bootloader, ADB loses its connection with my Nexus 7! Also, if it helps anyone to know, I'm running Win7 64-bit.....I'm not sure if that matters, but the first time I booted up into fastboot mode, my computer recognized it and installed it as an "Android Bootloader Interface" in the Device Manager! When the device boots up normally, ADB does recognize it again, and it also shows up differently in the Device Manager (Android Composite ADB Interface)! ANY help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I obviously can't issue commands to a device that ADB can't see when it's in fastboot mode!

Hi, vmancini3...
Forget about ADB when your tablet is in FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode...
Here are the salient commands....
Code:
fastboot devices
- should return a serial number to confirm your FASTBOOT connection -
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
- will unlock the BOOTLOADER and will WIPE and FACTORY RESET THE DEVICE; unfortunate, but necessary .
--------------------
With the BOOTLOADER unlocked, begin to set up your Nexus 7 again... as though it was a brand new, just purchased tablet... ie., country, regionalization, WiFi key... etc.
Go online with your Nexus 7 browser (Chrome), and download Chainfire's SU Updater .ZIP package from here...
http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip
Upon completion of this download, shut down the tablet.
--------------------
Reboot again into FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode... VOL down button + POWER ON button.
From your PC, run this command...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
....where the recovery.img is your CWM or TWRP .img file.
Both of which are available here...
CWM - http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
TWRP - http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
--------------------
Congratulations.... you've just FLASHED a CUSTOM RECOVERY!!!
--------------------
When the self-congratulatory round of self applause has died down, ... and with the Nexus 7 still in FASTBOOT/ BOOTLOADER MODE, use the VOL buttons to navigate and the POWER button to select... reboot into RECOVERY.
Using the new CUSTOM RECOVERY, flash Chainfires SU updater package that you downloaded earlier... usually found in the /download folder...
Done.
Reboot.
Rooted.
--------------------
I really don't understand why some people seem to have a problem with this procedure... it takes less time doing it, than actually describing how to do it.
Rgrds,
Ged.
