                  mash12 You can reflash a different one if you want. All you need to flash is the super.bin.

                  manyhill I have not gotten around to working on it yet.

                          I would like if people tested this version for me to make sure it works properly and there are no loopholes.

                          This for Roms with Apps.
                          Special thanks to [Login to see the link] for all his work!

                              darth thanks when are you doing this also for the other roms? thanks

                                Cseal89 I'm not too familiar with macs, but I'd say look up all the prerequisites
                                darth listed, and look them all up for mac. In theory, it should work with some research.
                                *Brains are also required on a mac.

                                      Cseal89 You can use a mac.

                                      Just get fastboot on your mac, and make sure you have python. Then, to boot to fastboot, you can use [Login to see the link]. But it's harder to use because you must manually declare a port number. Example:

                                      python mtk-bootseq.py FASTBOOT COM4

                                      But because MAC is based off linux, the ports wont be COMPorts, it will probably be something like this: /dev/tty.usbmodem14200. But I have no clue because I never used Mac. Anything I know about linux is from using android.


                                      And [Login to see the link] made a version of the python script that checks the ports automatically and boots to fastboot, but I think it only works on windows. (link: [Login to see the link])



                                      I can't say for sure, but I think Mac's might come preinstalled with MTK Drivers or at least enough drivers to access the preloader, so I don't think you'll need to worry
