[Zenofsong]

Trying to flash to stock, seems as though .sh files are just opening as textedit files on osx 10.4 Anyone know anything about that?

umm only thing I can think of is run them from a terminal shell.

Tried that. Same thing. Opens a textedit windows displaying:

./fastboot-mac erase recovery
./fastboot-mac erase system
./fastboot-mac erase userdata
./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img
./fastboot-mac flash system system.img
./fastboot-mac flash userdata data.img
./fastboot-mac erase boot
./fastboot-mac flash boot boot.img
./fastboot-mac reboot

which is the same as if I doubleclick. My huawei is in fastboot still

ummm, dunno how to set it on a Mac, but it needs the default application reset that opens it. Unfortunately I cant think of what it would be atm lol


Google '.sh Mac' and see what you find.

Thanks for trying, i may not even need to do stock. I'm trying to get to cm6 and clockwork mod is giving me an installation aborted when i try to install from sd, so i figured i needed to go stock and then go straight.

(i originally went from stock to icky to cm7 to icky to staying up until 3 in the morning trying to figure this out.)

im running clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 btw, i dunno if that has anything to do with anything.

that should work with CM6, did when I installed it, then again I have 3.0.2.4.

Going back to stock wont help IMO.

What error is it giving when it aborts?

installing update...
installation aborted.

Does it really fast too.

Open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities)
cd to the directory you have the .sh and other files in, for example:

cd Downloads/zip

then:

chmod +x *

then:

./filename.sh

Where filename is whatever the shell script is called.

Thanks! That worked. must have gotten messed up somehow. One more question. Do i have to wipe before i install cm6? NEVERMIND>Says so in the instructions.

cd to the directory you have the .sh and other files in, for example:

cd Downloads/zip

then:

chmod +x *

then:

./filename.sh

Im sure I'll need to use this for the mms fix.
