Install Windows 7 with bootcamp and use the Windows tools.
It's really easy. There is info in the Rooting thread. Download the file and follow instructions for manual method. I'm on my phone now, but I'll try to post a link when I get home.

Download IOROOT20, Extract it. There will be a Mac folder in the extracted folder. Use terminal, navigate to the newly extracted mac folder, and then follow the instructions for the "Manual Method" in the above link.

Hey guys!
I have a few apps im trying to install on my HTC HD2. However, every time i click on the cab setup files and try to run in my explorer window, it just launches the browser and then nothing happens...
how to i get the setup to run as normal executable files?
Thanks
Are you running them on your device?
yes Im trying to...
Shouldn't I?
Is there another way of running the programs?
Any insight or suggestion?????
Yeah you should be running them on your phone. And when you click on them, they open the browser? As in web browser?
Yes they do....I just saw a post on how to install xml and followed the guidelines to fix it....I was not supposed to extract the files which is what i was doing!!!
thanks all for your replies

Yep. They look like zip files on your computer, but on the phone they show up as a cab. You got it!
I want to down grade my mytouch 4g from 2.3.4 to whatever (2.1/2.2)?
I want to root my phone so can someone walk me through this step-by-step?
I cant understand any guide... trust me, I been lurking the mt4g sections for months and I am not good with guides.
so my first questions are how do i downgrade to the stock version from 2.3.4
and how do I "back up" my files?
please and thanks.
-from a forever noob-
edit: or maybe pm me?
Just follow that video in that downgrading thread on how to set up ADB. It's a really easy to follow video. Then you'll need winrar to unzip the files. You can get that by just Googling it.
Then the guide gives you commands to type. You just gotta follow the codes and that's pretty much it.
Once you're downgraded you can follow the really easy rooting steps.
Yup that's what I did follow the video it walks you thru everything...even letter by letter at some points it's great...to understand better I did read the guide too....the video pretty much follows along right with the guide

Where is the video? I cant find it.
The part I was kind of stuck on was where to place the the files once you unzip them it say's plat-form tools folder which for me is the short cut to Adb folder once it's in there and you place the PD15IMG.zip on the root of your sd card you should be able to figure it out here is the link good luck http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

If your absolutely positive that you only need to delete 2 files within the .tar (although I dont see why this would be) I can help you. Right click the .tar file, extract it, delete the two files that you are talking about, re-select all the files that need to go back into a tar, right click, and create archive. Be sure that the archive you create is .tar format.
Use the program 7zip if you don't already have a similar program
Remember, Its very possible that this "fix" your mentioning could lead to a major problem.
Only take action if you know exactly what you are doing. I take no responsibility for your phone being bricked
Still no joy with getting my S4 to boot please someone must know how to get it to boot again iv tried everything i know how to do. Maybe a dev can help me i would be very grateful
Unpacking the tar on windows then recreating it will mess up the permissions stored inside. Rather, use the tar command. If you're on windows, then install cygwin.
Take a look on the tar manual (look for the --delete option, paragraph 4.2.5)

Cygwin is an Unix-like environment inside windows. It maps windows paths to Unix paths. By default, your path would map to /cygdrive/c/Users/shane/Desktop/987

Getting ready to do the Clean ROM flash and I have a few questions:
1. The instructions say to Copy ROM to storage. When I navigate to my phone hooked to my PC, I can't find the "storage" folder. Any help with this step would be appreciated
2. How do I boot into recovery?
I have twrp installed and phone's rooted. Just need to know the button config. to go into recovery to follow the installation steps. TY

LOL! Sorry I had too. Someone needs there Coffee You copy the rom to your phones storage like where your pictures,Music, and stuff are at. They didnt say anything about a storage folder.
and 2. Download an app called reboot recovery in the market place
You should be cautious when flashing anything if you were looking for a "Storage" folder.

LOL I know, I feel like a total noob for even asking. I have to have instructions literally step for step or else I lose confidence and don't follow through. I'm coming from an SGS2 that I rooted and messed with for the 1st month and never flashed anything since, so I'm pretty much starting over with this ROM stuff. Thanks for the help though!
EDIT: I'm gonna ask another noob question: Do I copy just the img file or the META & System folders too?

Dude! Never be afraid to ask (but if the answers are on the website and you didn't do a proper search, expect flame on!). :laugh:
Anyway, assuming you are on AT&T, you should have downloaded a file called CleanROM-1.1.zip . If you didn't get that one, go here http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=464 and download it. Check the MD5 to ensure the file is not corrupt. Do not unzip the file! Just transfer the file onto your phone - it doesn't really matter where, just remember where you put it. Then reboot into recovery (assuming you have already installed TWRP) using whatever app you like (I prefer GooManager), click Install, navigate to the rom you just put on your phone and you're good to go.
Good luck!

Thanks yea I did get teh 1.1 ROM and twrp is installed already. I just didn't want to go any further until I for sure understood the process. This feels alot easier then when I was working on the sgs2 and Odin. That and it's been at least 2 years since I've done anything like this lol. Thanks for the help, it looks like it's flashing now!

It happens, Now you should be able to flash, Any Flashable roms you never need to extract them just flash
Success!! I've been de-virginized! Thanks for you help guys!!
Hi! so, when i was rooted, i actually removed this app right there accidentally, i was debloating but i didn't even noticed it... so now i need it and can't find anywhere, can anyone post it here? Thanks in advance.
Here you go. It goes into system/app as you probably know.

Thank you, you awesome person. I am really a newbie to flashing and rooting, could you please explain what should i do with it? Do i flash the zip with twrp or extract it somewhere? I tried installing some generic livewalpaperpicker.apk found somewhere on the xda and obviously it didnt work. Also is there a way to download the zip from your google drive, because for some unknown reason my phone wants to add it as a dictionary? (If no solution i'll just download it via pc). I will be fullheartedly thankfull for instructions.

I'm not sure why it's giving you a hard time downloading the zip. Are you using the Google Drive app or Chrome from your phone?
Extract the zip and copy the folder to /system/app/ using a root file manager. I should ask though, is your system stock? What version/build number? This includes the stock .apk and .odex file.

It's a rooted, stock 6.0.1 rom, with xposed framework and a bunch of modules including N-ify, If i am correct of what a build is then my build is "24.221.5.clark_reteu.en.EU reteu".
Edit:
I tried to do everything as instructed and it didn't help. And what is curious i found out that i actually already had this folder in my system/apps. I switched it with the new one, reboot and unfortunately still when i try to set any live walpaper it says "aplication is not installed". I guess i won't be able to try pixelwalpapers anytime soon.
