On a MAC

Can a person flash the boot image using a mac? I am only noticing it needs to be a windows machine.

Yes, I did. Actually I am using only Mac and Linux.
The procedure is exactly same, the only difference is OS.

i too use a mac, and as long as you have your path setup and fastboot in your path you can use it for boot, system,recovery, data images

Are there any tutorials on how to do this? I'm not very savy with terminal. I've installed adb and fastboot-mac but when i try to run the recovery rom it says error device not found. I've been googling and can't find a full tutorial, just bits and pieces here and there and this is as far as I've gotten. Any help would be appreciated

Mac works fine... follow instructions for everything. Actually Eclipse is easier on mac than windows --no crappy winblows driver issues.

And fyi - you prob need to put your phone in dev mode.... try ./adb devices

Settings --> Application --> Development --> USB Debugging

Working great on my Mac too... Just make sure, as mentioned above, that you have enable USB debugging ("dev mode"). If you're getting a device not found error, then sounds like you have everything working on the Mac. Just need to enable the phone to communicate with the adb program.

On your phone, go to Settings --> Application --> Development. Enable the "USB Debugging" option.

If you have any trouble, let me know. I'm relatively new myself, but pretty comfortable with *nix, so I'll help in any way I can!

the easiest way I did it was use flashrec to root the phone and then transfer the roms onto the phone and use recovery to flash them....

havent ever had a problem...

im not sure about fastboot, but adb works fine with mac terminal u just have to put "./" before u type a command

and if you have all of your executables in the folder referenced in your .bash_profile then you dont need to even type the "./"

this is what my .bash_profile looks like:

export PATH=$PATH{PATH}:/android/tools

so put adb,fastboot and whatever other binaries you want to use in /android/tools
