I jus did... But ...?!?! I don't know why it worked...plus I thought a prompt window was supposed to pop up when u ran RUU ... I've seen a few vid when ran from pc...? Coming from the world of Nexus so this wasn't really an issue...we would jus flash stock img via fastboot...

This isnt running a RUU. This is just running fastboot commands on a mac, same way as running them on linux. Do "man fastboot" or just do "fastboot" to see all the commands that can be ran.

But he's running a ruu zip in vid tho. I'm familiar with fastboot and adb commands on a Mac... But read u can't flash RUU zips on Mac Cuz they are only compatible with PC...?? I honestly have no clue ive been on a nexus device for the last 4 yrs so this is new to me. In the past I would jus flash stock IMG via fast boot to return to stock for any ins PR service probs

Rom.zip from RUU_file

the only way to flash a Ruu in bootloader using Mac OSX is by extracting the Rom inside the RUU_file.exe, to do this you have to use windows, open/run RUU_xxxx.exe (just open it and leave it open, by doing this, windows will create a folder inside TEMP folder) and look for Rom.zip inside TEMP/ folder ... you have to look for it inside some long named folders, just look for a folder with a big size and you proly find it inside, then use the commands in the video to flash it
