Default Problem Rooting Magic.

I'm trying to help my cousin out. I'm doing it on a mac through screenshare.

Code:
shane-deanes-macbook:tools Rakka$ ./adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT93VKF07738    device

shane-deanes-macbook:tools Rakka$ ./fastboot-mac boot recovery-new.img
cannot load 'recovery-new.img'
shane-deanes-macbook:tools Rakka$ ./fastboot-mac boot recovery-new.img
cannot load 'recovery-new.img'
shane-deanes-macbook:tools Rakka$ ./fastboot-mac boot recovery-new.img
cannot load 'recovery-new.img'
shane-deanes-macbook:tools Rakka$ ./fastboot-mac boot daldroid-recovery.img
cannot load 'daldroid-recovery.img'
shane-deanes-macbook:tools Rakka$
this is where we get stuck.
I have a rooted g1 running the hero rom, so i'm fairly familiar with adb, and fastboot. please help.

I second this bump as I am stuck at this point too. Surely, someone, anyone?

My first thought at seeing that is that the .img files aren't in the folder you're working from, though I would imagine you'd checked that already... I haven't had any experience with doing this on Macs so I'm probably not much help to be honest. Anyone else?

DONATE TO ME
You can always drag and drop the img files into the cmd window after the commands eg fastboot boot C:\Android\Tools recovery-new.img
Old devices: Touch HD > Magic X2 > Hero > Acer BeTouch E400 > Legend > Sensation / Xoom WiFi
I won't thank anyone who has "Press Thanks" in their sig.It's just lame

hmm... seems to me that the recovery img is not placed in

shane-deanes-macbook:tools on your computer... do so and it should work fine....
place it in the tools folder of your sdk and try again.
