I havn't seen any guides on how to Root when using a Mac. I got my phone the 1st of july and applied the update. I see the new fix for this new update is out, but does anybody have a guide for it on a mac?
sudo dd bs=512 if=~/Downloads/goldcard.img of=/dev/disk1
I'm a noob when it comes to rooting. I need a tutorial on how to root (latest build) 1.47.651.1, unlock nand protection (full access) while using a Mac.
I'm not sure what a goldcard image is, I've been looking for a Mac specific video tutorial.

Okay, I am TOTALLY new at this whole mess.
I have a mac.
I am trying to root, I have the newest update.
I downloaded the MAC SDK
When I open terminal and type ls -a ~
I see no .bash_profile, just .bash_history
So I created a file saved it in the same file as my mac sdk.
But I am stuck there.
What am I missing here
(other than my intelligence)
is it not necessary to install SDK Components when setting up the SDK? If so which one do I need 2.1?

I got all the way to step 11 where you have to reboot to flash the pc36img
I get the "this version is older than the main version" error!
According to the end of the post this is a common error. I don't quite understand though. It says the error is caused when your SD card isn't mounted properly and you can push the files manually. The files are on my phone.
So, I do not know where to go from here.
Help?
cd ~/Documents
adb push data.img /data/local

SBS,
I see the .bash_profile now. But when I type in 'adb devices' nothing shows up under 'List of devices attached.'
However, when I typed in the code, 'echo $PATH' the SDK tools are in my path.
I strictly use a Mac and have had no issues. I downloaded the SDK and placed only the tools folder on my desktop. Open terminal you should see:
yourcomputername:~ youraccount$
type cd [space][now drag the tools folder to the cursor]
you should now see:
yourcomputername:~ youraccount$ cd /Users/[youraccount]/Desktop/tools
hit enter and you will see:
yourcomputername:tools youraccount$
now to execute any adb command just type [./adb shell]
your phone must be connected at the point you start the adb commands.
