    simple Droid1 FRG83G root script for Mac

    I've come up with a simple script to root a Droid1 with the newest firmware FRG83G on the Mac. I went for the Mac, as it seems that there are other one-click methods for Windows and Linux... and I'm on a Mac.

    Make sure your Droid is connected to the computer using USB.

    Make sure the following settings are enabled:
    Code:
    Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources (checked)
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging (checked)

    http://www.mediafire.com/?5vvlynmex3hhkcm

    Just unzip it, and then in a terminal:
    Code:
    ./run.sh
    You should have to wait about 10 seconds, then, you should have Superuser installed, and able to use "su"

    If you don't know how to open a terminal and what "./run.sh" means: http://tinyurl.com/3w8ouje

    gnychis, thanks for this.

    I gave it a shot, and this is what I got:


    Changing permissions...
    Exploiting system...
    Waiting for device to come back...
    Remounting file system...
    ./run.sh: line 10: adb: command not found
    Installing su...
    ./run.sh: line 12: adb: command not found
    ./run.sh: line 13: adb: command not found
    Installing busybox
    ./run.sh: line 15: adb: command not found
    ./run.sh: line 16: adb: command not found
    Installing Superuser Permissions
    ./run.sh: line 19: adb: command not found
    ./run.sh: line 20: adb: command not found
    ./run.sh: line 21: adb: command not found
    ./run.sh: line 22: adb: command not found
    Done!

    Needless to say, there's still no su icon on my phone.

    I'm the first to admit that I'm a newbie at this, having never rooted my phone. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

    see if i can include it.

    I still can't get it to work, but please keep in mind that I'm a complete idiot.

    I re-downloaded the root folder, and I saw the adb file in there updated at 11:59. So I know that this is the updated folder, right?

    I dropped the root folder in my Applications folder – for no good reason other than I can't seem to get to run in terminal it when its just on my desktop. Then I opened terminal and typed cd /Applications/root

    And then I typed in ./run.sh

    It says "Permission denied."

    I'm sure this is a noob error. I just don't know what it is. But I know I'm not the only guy with a Droid and a MacBook Pro who wants to use the full functionality of his phone. If you can fill in the instructions a bit for guys like me, this script you wrote could help a lot of people.

    grab the link one more time, I updated it again because when I added adb I forgot to set the executable permissions on it.

    What I suggest is, unzip it to your desktop, then open Terminal. Use the following commands after you unzip it on your desktop:
    Code:
    cd ~/Desktop/root
./run.sh
