[northmendo]

Please do not hot link to my download. Link to the post and please don't use my work without asking.


Version 0.6.7 is up for download (no new root options)

Added general android tools:

Rebooting the device

Rebooting in to Recovery

Backing up your photos to your Mac

Fixing File permissions



Version 0.6.5 is available at the website.

- Updated the Recovery to TWRP 2.2.2.1 for the Kindle Fire


Version 0.6.4 changes

- Changed Kindle Fire recovery to TWRP.

- Updated Kindle Fire bootloader to FireFireFire 1.4a

- Added Kindle Fire recovery and bootloader updater for user who just want to update to the latest versions.

BreakDroid is a work in progress. My goal is to make a tool for Mac users that will root several different android phones and tablets as well as install the android sdk (adb).

It is very important to note that I only made the tools to automate these processes. All the developers of the root exploits and recoveries are listed below.

Current supported Devices-
Kindle Fire - Tested Version 6.2.2., 6.3 & 6.3.1
Galaxy Nexus - Seems to work. Tested with version 0.4.2+
Galaxy Note - Needs more testers - Will only work on some notes.
Droid Razr - Should also work on other Droid branded phones
All phones that can be rooted by GingerBreak
All phones that can be rooted by psneuter
All phones that can be rooted by zergRush - has been tested and works on many devices. vCheck the comments on the download page.

It has not. That is what I wrote it for though. If your brave enough try it. It shouldn't do any damage either way. Never 100% sure though.

The Droid Razr has been fully tested and works.

The download is fixed, thanks for the heads up.

I'm almost positive it can't ruin your device. I ran the Galaxy note app on a different phone about 10 times yesterday to see if it would work with no adverse effects. I can't guarantee anything but I'm pretty sure you'll be okay.

Thanks so much! I am going to install on my ATT note ASAP. Is there a noob step by step install guide?
Thanks!

I am on a business junket. I will install it sat, for if i brick my phone, I will loose my contact data albeit on a temp basis. I will let you know results when completed. . . just being cautious.

Gonna test it on a GSM Galaxy Nexus

--- edit ---

Done, everything works fine except one thing.

√ Install Android SDK installs the Android SDK in /home/ folder OK
√ Galaxy Nexus Tools starts OK
X Unlock Galaxy Nexus gives these errors before halting:

/Volumes/BreakDroid/.files/galaxynexus/unlock.sh: line 16: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/Volumes/BreakDroid/.files/galaxynexus/unlock.sh: line 24: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Done that manually to test the other options.

√ Install recovery downloads and installs 5.5.0.4 recovery just fine and reboots to it right away.
√ Install root files does what it says, easy and painless.

And... I think that's all, I think it's kinda anoying that everytime you perform one of the steps a new browser window opens with the Paypal donation site, you may want to do that only when quitting the script or something.

Just my 2 cents. I've followed you on Twitter (@migatohacemiau), send me a PM if you need more testing on the bootloader issue

i have the following phones at my disposal:

T-mobile G2 (HTC Desire Z PC10100)
Rooted CM7

T-mobile G2X (LG Optimus 2X P999)
Rooted

Verizon Xperia Play (Sony Ericsson Zeus R800i)
Stock

T-mobile G1 (HTC Dream DREA100)
Rooted CM6

T-mobile MyTouch 4G (HTC Glacier PD15100)
Rooted CM7

T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide (HTC Espresso)
Latest Stock

how can i help, i am willing to unroot devices if necessary (im just hoping there's a big chance that they will be easily rootable after )

Thanks so much for testing the Galaxy Nexus. I will work on the errors right now.
