[Nighthawk4]

I have just bought a ZTE Skate (same as Orange Monte Carlo in UK)

I am trying to root this but on my Mac, it does not find the device, even though I can see the volume and browse its contents.

Thoughts please?

This is still stock at present. Happy to do a romdump and post it if I can get the Mac to see it

[philmein]

the romdump needs doing before rooting the phone else the dump will be near useless
there a how to in the unlockng thread

he is willing to do the dump first, but is having trouble with mac finding the device to do a rom dump

although he could use the terminal method from the phone

ladronzte had to use win 7 to root his and clockwork .

[tillaz]

any luck with this....

[Christian Edwards]

I couldn't get my Mac to detect the device either, had to use the wife's WIN7 netbook.
Tried on Leopard (PPC) and LION (Intel) no joy.

[dadashi]

please dump without clockwork or rooting so the devs can use it for moding...

[Nighthawk4]

Still trying this.

However, when I try to use the cat command, it says permission denied.

It appears I do not have sufficient rights without rooting the device, which of course is the whole point


Any thoughts please?

change the title of your post to, [PROBLEM ROOTING FACTORY UNLOCKED SKATE, USING MAC]

should draw more attention
