[Q] Using a DROID X and MAC together is tough -- can someone help?

Too many threads... too many sites and PC options.
Here's my situation:
Droid X
Used the leak update... running 2.2 now.
Use a MAC. And have Terminal app on DX.
Have SBF file for 2.1 stock, have ZIP files of rooted 2.2's
Dont have custom recovery.
Dont care much about warranty or OTA... just want to be able to apply ZIPs.
I need to somehow either root my DX with Mac or Terminal app. Or flash the SBF to bring things back to 2.1.
Not sure what to do??? Please please help.
I am not familiar with terminal commands...so if you leave instructions that would be great.

You follow the same ADB commands, more or less. Why not try something like Universal AndRoot though? Then you could just skip over it.
But, if you need to sbf, I would *think* you follow the Linux instructions.
1) download sbf_flash & sbf file
Code:
cd directory/where/these/are/located
./sbf_flash SBFfileLOCATION

The only way to SBF is to run windows through bootcamp or this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/38671-flashing-sbf-mac.html . I am in the same boat as you luckily my girlfriend has a dell running Windows. You should also be able to root 2.2 using the Droid 2 method posted in this section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766767. I assume you have the SDK downloaded already? The Linux directions does not work for Mac.

I TRIED THAT, BUT THERE IS SOME ERROR THAT POPS UP... CAN'T DO IT. 2.2 ISN'T SUPPORTED... I THINK IT'S JUST FOR 2.1..
But, if you need to sbf, I would *think* you follow the Linux instructions.
1) download sbf_flash & sbf file
Code:

SO THAT EASY? JUST TWO COMMAND LINES?
So, if I put the SBF on my desktop it would be:
cd desktop (enter)
./sbf_flash fullSBFfilename.sbf (enter)

Running ADB with Mac OSX and therefore rooting with the mac is EASY. Just make sure you have the Android SDK installed on your Mac. Make sure in your .bash_profile you have the path set to the tools directory of your SDK folder.
Since I can't tell if you have all this down, I'll give you the instructions on setting up adb on the mac (using terminal), then give you the directions I followed on rooting my Droid X from OSX (I am running 2.2 leaked).
Essentially follow these instructions (taken from tjrocks91 on droidforum... I'd link, but I am not yet allowed to post outside links on this forum):
1. Download the Android SDK for Mac OSX. (google it)
2. Extract the zip file to any destination on your Mac. *Remember its path!*
In the AndroidSDK folder, there will be a folder named “tools”. We will be adding this folder to the path on Mac OSX. For this example, extract to your home folder (the folder that contains the desktop, documents, etc. folders)
3. To do this click on Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal.
4. Type in without quotations “cd ~/”
5. Next, type "touch .bash_profile" to create your new bash or otherwise known path file.
6. Next, type "open -e .bash_profile" to open it in TextEdit. A TextEdit window will open, copy and past this into that window, substituting <username> for your username on OSX:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/<username>/AndroidSDK/tools
7. Save the file and close the window.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7, but replace .bash_profile with ".bashrc" (without the quotes)
9. ADB should be ready to go. Make sure that your Droid X is set to "charge only" when connected via USB, and that you have debug mode set to on in your Android settings (settings>applications>development> USB Debugging)
10. In terminal, type (without the quotes): "adb devices". You should see a return that gives a list of devices attached. If the daemon wasn't started yet, this will do it. After that, type "adb shell" to enter adb.
11. After that, the adb commands are ALL the same on any platform, just make adjustments for different file systems when moving things TO your phone when using the command prompt (and not in the adb shell itself, but using adb commands). OSX follows unix/linux file structure, but not always the linux/unix file arrangement (but pretty darn close, since it is a Unix BSD GUI).
Now onto rooting your DX running 2.2. I've attached the file I used. It is a .rar files, so you will need a .rar extractor. I found a nice free one on the net called UnrarX. Google it, get it. Its free, it works. I will give instructions assuming you have them. These instructions come from karnovaran here on XDA. THey are for the droid 2, but work for the Droid X as well. i will translate them into instructions that can be followed verbatim on Mac (as the instructions he gave are meant for those doing this through the command prompt in windows).
1. Extract the contents of the attached file to your sdk tools folder
2. Open a terminal window and navigate to your sdk tools folder. if you put the sdk folder in your home folder, then the command and path you should enter from the terminal should be something like this:
cd AndroidSDK/tools
3. Now the process is as follows (follow EXACTLY, making sure you are faithful to YOUR file paths). I'm copying almost verbatim from karnovaran:
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
- adb push su /sdcard/su
- adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
- adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- adb shell
- cd data/local/tmp
- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- let the process run until it 'kicks' you out (this WILL take a while, so don't TOUCH ANYTHING on your phone. Just go grab a beer and relax until the proces kicks you back out to the tools folder in terminal)
- adb kill-server
- cd <wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is>
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb shell (you should now have a # prompt, if not return to ./rage step above)
- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
- cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
- cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
- mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- exit
- exit
This got me root on my DX and I did this on OSX no problem. The only PC I have that is functional is my laptop for work and because of the content on it and security procedures, though I could do android hacking with it, I will not, so I'm stuck with using my Mac. Thing is that it really is NOT hard. Commands are almost exactly as in Linux/Unix, and OSX terminal runs bash, which is quite versatile (more commands than busybox, iirc) in and of itself. And getting mac root access is bloody easy using sudo if you need it (otherwise, don't use it).
I hope this helps. Have fun.

many steps.... but will go slowly.
Thank you!!!!

Many steps, but they work!

Yeah this would be your problem.
@OP,
yes, it would be just that easy IF AND ONLY IF the linux commands apply to macs as well. Which I have NO IDEA on. so proceed at your own risk :z

i finally figured it out... saw another post....

There's your problem.... you're using leopard . I'm using 10.6.3. Love it. They did well with this new OS version (for those who don't know... the difference to users between Leopard and Snow Leopard for OSX folks is like the diff between Eclair and FroYo... the former is good, but the later far exceeds it under the hood though still remaining almost the same on the front end).
And obviously that means I'm running an intel machine as well. 2008 iMac 20".... 2.66 Ghz Core 2 Duo. Just your regular, nothing-special iMac.

I thought Macs were supposed to be user friendly?

If you're rooted, install Terminal Emulator, from the market, to your phone. It's free.
Open it and, at the prompt, type in:
dmesg | egrep -e 'epson|nova'
The output will contain either a setting for an Epson or Novatec panel, never both. Whichever returns is the panel type you have. Easier than using adb and available anywhere.

As a note I had to do this last week when I upgraded to the new 4.2.2 roms, and I was unable to sideload the rom until I rename it to something smaller.
So instead of something like "rom_trickdroid7.5" I just renamed it to "rom.zip" and at that point sideload command worked fine.

OK so what you need to do is place the zip in your tools folder in andsdk. I am not sure if you have a platform-tools folder where there is an adb.exe file but whatever folder you have that in the zip also needs to go.
In recovery make sure you navigate to advanced then sideload and then swipe to start sideload. Once sideload is enabled then you type in the command prompt adb devices... It should show your device and have sideload next to it. If that is what you see last step is type
adb sideload nameofzip.zip
It automatically hoes to the root of your internal memory

I changed directories to where the adb.exe is (inside platform-tools) and ADB Sideload is already started in TWRP. However, whenever I type "adb devices" it only says "List of attached devices" and nothing under it. Whenever I try flashing the ROM, it says error: device not found. What am I doing wrong here? I even changed the name of the ROM to rom.zip to make it shorter as per a suggestion in the first page of the thread, but that didn't work either.

Okay now I realize my device isn't actually recognized, although it works fine with fastboot usb.
What do I do? I tried having windows automatically search for drivers but it didn't find anything.

Okay after doing some more reading I realized I never actually opened SDK Manager, and when I try, it just opens a black command prompt window and then shuts down. I then came across this article and realized I need Java JDK drivers before I can actually run SDK Manager and then follow the rest of the tutorial. Maybe that is the problem??

are you trying to use adb while fastboot is running on the phone? if so that won't work.
you need to have your phone in recovery mode or during normal operation for adb to work.
also make sure no other instances of adb are running use task manager (through ctrl+alt+del) to check and make sure no other instance of adb is running. i had the issue where it wouldn't kill previous iterations of itself.
*edit*
hmmm i just noticed your screenshot.
looks like you may need to reinstall the htc drivers, alternatively you could try to install koush's universal adb driver.

could very well be, if the sdk isn't properly installed - chances are the drivers aren't either. have you tried manually updating the drivers for the "unknown device"?

Hey Man, you need to make sure you install HTC Drivers and make sure the phone is recognized by the computer. Also, open sdk Manager and download updates, I will post a screen shot, I am using the same adb bundle you are. Update all the 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 APIs and next to each item under 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 make sure it says installed...May help with adb recognizing your phone.
The only issue right now is your phone being recognized by adb while in sideload because once it is the process will work I can promise you that.
Let me know if you have questions, I would get back to you sooner but I am in Hawaii and where its 11pm on the east its only 5 18pm here

Yeah, thank you very much guys. I was playing God of War and waiting for HTC Sync Manager to download so I can install it, haha. Everything went fine and the rom sideloaded 100%. Now I rebooted into recovery but I do not know where the rom.zip is located so I can install it? Any ideas?
---------- Post added at 05:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 AM ----------
Never mind, I just realized it should be in the sideload.zip file. I am so dumb today.
Thanks for all your help, guys.

I have never used CWM but if you boot into recovery, look for ADB Sideload through the options you have in CWM Recovery, if you do enable sideload and verify its connected and recognized by the computer by typing adb devices and it will show you your device with sideload. If it shows that then yes it will work

cant get rid of bootloader screen after returning to stock

When I flash my 2017u back to stock 6.0 then update to 7.1.1 this screen on bootup is still present. I also cannot seem to get fastboot to work to lock the bootloader either.
Any help appreciated
Excuse the pic quality it's taken with my backup i9505 s4

Try to go into fastboot using "adb reboot bootloader" or using the volume keys to go into fastboot. After that you should be able to use "adb oem lock" to lock the bootloader and you will no longer see that message when you boot.

Thanks. Will give a try again on the weekend when I Qualcomm firehose it back to stock again. Cheers

Hi, I managed to have a play with the phone using the edl tool, the axon7 toolkit and even adb 15 second installer. No command i have tried on B29 MM will lock the bootloader.
The 5 second screen is still there on boot and shows unlocked. I went upto N B15 and the OEM is greyed out but still a 5 second screen. So reverted back to MM B29 for now and hope someone can help me.
Edit - I've tried flashing stock images with axon 7 edl tool and some success in flashing stock but it still leaves me with the 5second screen I've tried now to inject twrp in a stock image to then hopefully flash the remove 5 second screen g and u zip but I get stuck with an encrypted drive and needing to enter a password thus unable to put the zip on the phone to flash with twrp 3.2.3.0

Hi, I managed to have a play with the phone using the edl tool, the axon7 toolkit and even adb 15 second installer. No command i have tried on B29 MM will lock the bootloader.
The 5 second screen is still there on boot and shows unlocked. I went upto N B15 and the OEM is greyed out but still a 5 second screen. So reverted back to MM B29 for now and hope someone can help me.
Edit - I've tried flashing stock images with axon 7 edl tool and some success in flashing stock but it still leaves me with the 5second screen I've tried now to inject twrp in a stock image to then hopefully flash the remove 5 second screen g and u zip but I get stuck with an encrypted drive and needing to enter a password thus unable to put the zip on the phone to flash with twrp 3.2.3.0

because you didn't allow oem unlocking?

OEM unlocking allowed. I'm now back on Los 16 for the time being. OEM unlocking before greyer out saying my bootloader is already unlocked. It just will not lock and edl will not lock it either

There is a method by @raystef66 where u can "hide" this notification.

Yea I'm not that desperate to hide it no more. I flashed stock android 8 and couldn't get it to stop encrypting the data partition with twrp so I gave up. I'm back on Los 16 with a new battery and that will do.
I'm not going to buy a razer phone 2 this year so this axon will have to do. Just got to order a new speaker as my bottom loud speaker just doesn't work. The plastic cover and the springs arms are intact just nothing coming from it.
Cheers for the replies guys. Was thinking of trading the phone in at CEX here in the UK and then move to my dual Sim Samsung s7. But since the Axon defeated me I'll keep it for now and maybe get shot of the Samsung instead.

When I flash my 2017u back to stock 6.0 then update to 7.1.1 this screen on bootup is still present. I also cannot seem to get fastboot to work to lock the bootloader either.

you need to flash original stock rom for your device trough edl. (rom your device came from factory,marshmallow)
then boot into system,unlock developer options.Allow oem unlock and turn on usb debugging.Now connect phone to laptop and check the dialogue on your phone that ask for usb debug.Unplug phone.
When you did this you want to flash TWRP trough EDL.
Now boot in TWRP and flash UnlockbootloaderPackage from DrakenFX.
Reboot system.
Now turn off your device and boot into fastboot,connect your phone with laptop and open ADB terminal on your laptop or use Axon7toolkit.
In terminal enter fastboot oem lock,or in axon7toolkit choose lock bootloader.
Your bootloader is now locked.
PS: you dont need locked bootloader to recieve ota's,and make sure you are on the firmware your device came shipped with!!
You need a locked bootloader to get rid of the warning message ( dont flash any mod package that claims it delete the warning page)

Ok the recovery says that it's on 6.0.1 and nothing changes ever. Tried flashing b15 N and nope still recovery says 6.0.1.
I tried updating via ADB and sdcard. Neither works. Two different updates also that I downloaded.
I did the factory reset, still same problem. No service on SIM and WiFi Mac is still 02:00:00 etc.
Just spent an hour on my driving break in my truck and nothing had worked.

No I used axon 7 edl tool.
So today I tried and tried and gave up flashing b15 N. I had a go with b32 N instead. However after flashing I didn't select yes on the edl tool to reboot instead going for a cable unplug and forced reboot holding the power button. I tried to boot into recovery which yielded a double flash of the red led and then nothing else. Blank screen and no led. I tried rebooting again to recovery and voila. 7.1.1 recovery loaded.
Not taking a chance I factory resetted and now have a fully stock axon 7 with a locked bootloader.
Many thanks to those who helped me but I'm going to part with this phone and return to a Nexus 6p that needs a new battery and a dual SIM exynos s7 for my axon 7 lineage os replacement.
