So...
Can you root the ATT Note 3 on a mac yet NOT using VMware or parallels????
If so...some help?
Thanks
Not as far as I know - I think it's kingo or rdlv, both of which are Windows native.
It's not unusual for things like this to only be released for Windows, so I'd recommend you not hold your breath waiting for that - between the fact that there are many ways to run Windows on a Mac (vm, dual boot, etc), the fact that almost everyone has access to some form of Windows pc, the smaller market share of Mac computers, and the tendency of Mac users to go with matching apple smartphones, there's not a huge demand for this. It's possible you'll never see a Mac rooting tool fir the note 3, so you should look into rooting phone with one the pc tools.

I am scheduled to Deploy to Iraq later this fall and will be taking my trusty N1.
In Iraq you pay an incredible amount of money for the internet it is something like $75 for 96k. One on the down falls is you link up via cat5. I had my HTC Touch Pro last time and I was able to update data etc surf the internet using active sync via miniusb while it was plugged in to my laptop. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Not sure if this will work on the N1 (do any custom ROMs support ad-hoc WiFi?), but worth a shot: http://modmymobile.com/forums/491-jailbreak-root-access/544146-connect-g1-ad-hoc-network-solved.html (skip to "Step 3" for instructions on changing the tiwlan.ini file).
P.S. Needs root for obvious reasons.
If you run Windows 7 check out www.connectify.me It will turn your current connection into a wifi access point on through your computer's wireless device

Thanks for that link, I'll have to try it out!
[Edit]
Unfortunately Connectify's Access Point mode is only supported on a limited number of WiFi cards, as seen here. My fairly new (1 year old) Lenovo X61 Tablet can only do Ad-Hoc, which still requires modding the wpa-supplicant on the N1. At that point Connectify becomes useless, since you can enable ICS in Windows on your own.
sweet and thanks. i am using this in-flight on gogo so i have access to two devices and only pay for one.
Sorry you are having issues, but yea not all cards are supported. Luckily, both my desktop and laptop have been compatible. My laptop initially had issues because I was not on the newest drivers for the wireless card. If your card isn't directly listed on the unsupported list, it might be worth it to try and upgrade drivers and test one more time.
Unfortunately I am running Xp on my laptop.

The first link is a guide for setting up an ad-hoc connection on Windows XP, the second is a link to a change to the Android source code that's been abandoned 2 months ago.
The good news is that according to the comments on the 2nd link Google is working on implementing Ad-Hoc support. The bad news is that it's not in FroYo, so we might have to wait for Gingerbread to see it. Of course, there's nothing preventing CyanogenMod team from implementing this change into CM6, so they would be the best people to ask about it.
In the network settings on my mac you can 'broadcast' your connection. The tutorial I read showing me how to do that said windows has a similar feature.
You can use travel router and setup internet sharing...
Source: you have to right-click the connection source->properties->advanced and setup the internet sharing.
Destination: If you have a spare ethernet jack, GOOD! Use it.
I know some Ralink-based wifi cards support virtual AP mode (the best bet are Hawking and Asus and I have both).
So I just updated my Bionic to ICS, YAY!
But, root isn't working, BOO! :crying:
I am relatively knowledgeable in this stuff; it is both my profession and my hobby. Investigating this issue has led me to believe that my problem is that the ADB interface does not show up in device manager (Mass Storage, MTP, and PTP mode have the same result) on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. When the device is connected in AP fastboot, however, the driver does show up and works fine. Additionally, when I try to manually add the driver, it fails to start (code 10).
What does show up, however, is the Motorola USB Networking Driver (MTP only), under network adapters.
The upgrade to ICS was performed with SamuriHL's HoB (ADB), and in an effort to resolve this issue, I did it again with HoB (Fastboot).
Can somebody please help?
Thanks,
Overkill
EDIT: I downloaded the SDK and ADB still doesn't list my device. I do know that the IP used by the Motorola driver is 192.168.137.2 for my device (.1 for my PC) and that "adb connect 192.168.137.2" fails to connect on the default port (maybe another port?)
Thanks again! I feel naked and powerless without my root =(
Do you have USB debugging enabled under Developer Options?
Yes, I do. I have tried disabling/re-enabling it as well to no avail.
I appreciate the KISS approach, but I've gone over the checklist on every how-to and I am confident that nothing is missing.
I tried the phone on another computer and with several different USB cables and no luck. I have all 64-bit machines, but I can also try my XP VM and maybe that'll behave properly ^_^ Or an actual XP machine at one of my jobsites that still won't pay to upgrade their equipment from 2002.

I had this problem, reinstalling latest Motorola device manager fixed it for me.
No go on that either.
I gave up and did a factory restore, it's working fine now. Going to analyze the scripts used by House of Bionic and see if it's possible to work backwards and see if there was a way to do it without losing data, for posterity's sake.

You have to remember to reboot with the phone in all the different connection modes for multiple different drivers loaded.

Weird. FDR only kills user settigns and user apps - so, it seems like there was an app that was blocking ADB access. Which is extremely strange, b/c that should not happen, unless you have some sort of firewall on the BIONIC itself (or else something like DroidSheppGuard running).

Not always true - you may need to reboot the phone. I can switch from any mode to any other mode and the connection pops up within 5 seconds every time. Of course, I'm running Win 7 Ult x64, and I only use the direct connect ports on my computer, no hubs, no USB 3 ports, and I never install the Motorola Device Manager software, only the direct USB drivers that I extract from the installer myself. Any one of those may be a factor in why it works for me, or some combination thereof.
However, I do know that I am not the only one for whom the switching works without rebooting either computer or phone....
I had a defective Chromecast that finally got replaced. That old one used to be recognized by my laptop and the mobile devices (iPad, Galaxy Note 2). My new one arrived and I performed the setup from my phone vs. from my laptop. Now, I can only see the Chromecast from my mobile devices and NOT from my laptop. Help is worthless, and Google Support is just about as useless... Has anyone experienced this? The only thing I can think of is that the first time, I set up my Chromecast from my laptop and then it was viewable from all devices. This time, I set it up from my mobile device and now it's only viewable from my mobile devices... Any suggestions?
Hard reset will help and then setup from your laptop

I'll give it a shot and it will likely do the trick, but why should that make any difference? Know what I mean? It's on my network, can be seen by other devices, it shouldn't matter which device set it up as long as it's properly connected to my local network and visible.
I'm having the same problem here.
I live in Austria so no official support right now but anyway...
Chromecast can be set up with Notebook and Android Phone without any problem.
It was always working with Android + google music, youtube and netflix (with dns hack)
It was never working with Notebook and Google Chrome Browser and plugin. Chromecast isn't listed in the Chrome Browser but I can find the device with the windows configuration app. Very strange and clearly a bug and no network problem.
Right now, no support from Google... -_-
PS: hard-reset and reconfigure over notebook is useless. Still not working and I guess and expect it makes no difference to configure over Android or Windows...
PPS: Windows 8.1 was used...
I had the same problem, solved by uninstalling vmware, it does not support virtual networks

same here.
deactivating the vmware virtual network interfaces will also work.
thx.
I have a curiosity that I'm trying to justify if it's worth attempting but don't know where to start. My desired outcome is to turn my Moto Droid 4 into a full out linux machine with one catch, making phone calls.
I already know that I can root and install a flavor of linux side by side with android, but I'm hoping to replace android with linux and my own software.
I wondering if the drivers for the phone's radio and other devices(camera, led, etc) exposable which I then could write my software to use in linux.
I'm pretty sure it's not feasible as it's all most likely proprietary drivers made by motorola, but on the off chance that it wasn't I figured someone here would know.
I own Two Lumia 535s, 1 Lumia running WP 7.8, 1 HTC Surround running WP7.5, an android and a laptop running Win 8.1.
Now the phones running WP 8.1 are DEAD SLOW and i am not exaggerating. FB and Messenger apps are just impossible to use with this speed. This wifi network is of my landlord for which I pay a certain amount for sharing his internet. I have already restarted his router several times after changing bandwidth and channel etc settings without telling him. I am just so fed up of these two phones now.
Internet and all apps run fine on WP 7.8, 7.5, android and laptop. The only issue i face is with lumia 535 running WP8.1. If any of you guyz would be kind enough to tell me what is the problem here and guide me towards the solution, I would be much grateful
And i would like to add that when i use virtual router from my laptop, the two 535s connect and run fine.
Regards

I got you have problems oly on 8.1 and I think uou are experiencing no internet issue on lumia cyan
Try to download a denim firmware on pc and flash all your devices
Also so you can try to get windows phone 8.1 update using preview for developers

eeeemmmmmmmm , I don't know .
maybe your ADSL or Wifi Router modem configuration is not OK , but you say it has no problem on android or wp7 so I have to suggest you post your question in answers.microsoft.com or wait for others to answer you .
Have you try your Lumia on an other Wifi Network ?
