Nope it doesn't work. Actually that was the reason I've asked in the forum. My MacBook does not find my HTC One.

Do I need to root my phone?

If you aren't going to read it then why bother posting? It's clearly stated.

Lol, yeah, you should probably read the article all the way through. In addition to stating the proposed workaround does require root, it also explains what is happening a little and might be generally helpful.
Bottom line, Android File Transfer doesnt work with Sense 5.5 at this time and no one has fixed it yet. Sense 5.5 users who do not have root and who do not have the Android SDK installed on their Mac are going to have a hard time getting files back and forth over a USB cable, it is true. Your better bets are cloud-based solutions and/or WiFi-based solutions.

If your on linux just run dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/place/you/want/it
then to restore just switch if and of. That's what I do. Might work on a Mac too. On windows.. get a Linux live CD and do that?

7 annoys me. It's too user friendly and all the controls are hidden behind wizards.
I'm thinking of buying a new computer but since it's been 6 years without a wipe I'm sure this one can run faster.
But that is not the point of this thread.

To answer the OP there are several products for creating a Disk Image. Acronis make a good one:
http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/
Vista/Windows 7 have built in imaging capability but as you're on XP you'll have to pay for something. If you're doing a fresh install though, i don't see the benefit of imaging your drive as it is now. It would make sense to do it after you've reinstalled and re-configured your OS so that you have a clean image to go back to in future. What can you do with an image of an old, tired install?
Perhaps you'd just be better off just backing up all of your important data onto a spare drive and forgetting about the image?
Good. Then the noobs will change settings less.

Honestly I would just run a quick google search (recovery disk/iso for model#) if you can't find any free or cheap available for your model then I would stick to the recovery software option.. there's too many to count but you can usually find free trials for these recovery tools. If not, send me a PM.

Thanks for that. At recommendations from several sources it looks like DriveImageXML is the best place to start.
On a separate note I'm thinking going Linux. From what I've read it sounds like it's community built and supported, much like CM. If that's the case I'm sure I'll love it.

This is my first post on these forums.
Because of you folks, I went from buying my first Android phone not knowing a thing, to rooting my phone, flashing roms, even to editing my gps.conf manually to tweak a patch to suit my particular region.

Had my old Kaiser right up to about a month ago when I split up with my gf and left it at her place. It was the original hacked WinMo/Android beast phone!! Went from that to the AT&T Tilt2 (Rhodium), to the HD2. It's too bad the HD2 is the last phone of that era. One of these days my Leo's gonna finally kick the bucket and I'll have to get a for real Android-native phone. That'll be a sad day.

[Q] Rooting for Mac

Just wondering if anyone using a Mac has rooted their HTC One? I tried to follow the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792 but obviously couldn't run a command prompt for those steps.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I've got a mac and have successfully rooted the HTC One using it. I followed a guide I used previously to root the One X, the steps are exactly the same.

I think the only step that was different is when you install a recovery, I used one specifically for the One
The best way is to get a real computer and not apples sh!t.

glad someone finally said it. After owning 50 or more apple computers since the IIci, many of which have gone around the world on tours loaded with ProTools with no significant issues at all and many happy customers, I can't understand why I still buy that junk.
I bet a HP would do the job nicely, if they support it a month after I bought it.
your lobotomy is ready.
what an incredibly stupit blanket statement.
Guys, just ignore the troll. If you don't feed it, it will go away.
Successfully rooted all my devices with a Mac. Just need fastboot and adb, everything else is identical to rooting on a PC.
In the development section there is a great post by torx which outlines the steps. But basically you first unlock the bootloader through HTC, then install recovery and flash Superuser or SuperSU in recovery. Then you're unlocked and rooted and can install Rom's.

[Q] Can't share files via bluetooth?

Is is just my HTC first, or is any one else not able to share files via bluetooth? I was trying to transfer some files to my PC, so I went to Gallery > Share > ??? but there was no bluetooth available? Is there something I am missing? Thank in advance for your help

Thanks! I did a google search and found an article on the HTC support site. It says that you have to pair with a device via bluetooth before you are able to transfer files. That's really odd because I have never had to do this before with any of my other android devices.

So I get to be the first one with a problem? Why does that not surprise me?
Anyway, I've been trying all morning to get S-OFF. No luck. I have all the prerequisites; unlocked, etc. I made sure firewall and antivirus were disabled. The whole nine yards. I even went on OMJ's stock rom. I cannot get past the "go back and READ" status!
Maybe I'm just not meant to be S-OFF.
I tried on two computers: one with Win7 and one with Win8.1. Same results on both.
I'm at a loss.

That's wild. Because Win7 gave me more issues than 8.1. I installed the HTC drivers in the thread here in this forum. And Win7 kept having install issues.
The computer with Win7 also has Ubuntu 12.04 installed as a dual boot. Maybe I should use Ubuntu.

Thank you so much for the help. But I did actually get S-OFF by using Ubuntu 12.04.
Word to the wise, people: doing this on Ubuntu is so much easier than wrestling with drivers and Windows. All you need to know are the commands, which is on the Rumrunner page.
Now excuse me while I go throw a brick at my Windows 8.1 computer...

On windows 8.1 here too, and I can't get it to work. I assume the phone doesn't need to be in fastboot mode, just at the home screen with the needed options checked in settings, which I have done. However, running rumrunner doesn't get me anywhere, even with windows firewall and defender disabled. I can't seem to get ADB to work over USB either, but I've just been using an app from the market to do ADB over wifi (just been changing files and stuff, I know I can't use it for stuff like this).
If anyone could help that'd be awesome.
