✓ Well Kingo Root helped me to root my SGA+ whereas others failed, including Odin. Didn't have any problems until now, and the only advice I can say is just use the computer to do the rooting work. I never believed that on the fly rooting is working on any branded phone.
✓ Well, Kingo was the only tool that managed to root my phone. After putting my hands on 20 or 30 devices, this was the toughest rooting.
If you want to root your phone on Mac, we highly suggest that you root Android devices with Kingo Root on Windows, because there are are few realiable rooting tools for Mac in the market.
