[Q] Struggling to unlock Bootloader using Mac OS 10.9

[zenrubble]

I just got my Verizon Dev Edition and am having trouble unlocking the bootloader using my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9. I am following the instructions from the Moto website.

- I downloaded the SDK and unzipped it.
- I downloaded the USB drivers (though they only show it for up to 10.8 Mountain Lion) and installed them.
- I put the phone in Fastboot mode, connected to my computer, opened up the terminal and went to the directory where I installed the tools, and typed in the command per instructions:

​

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data

Here is what I input in Terminal and the result:

Macintosh:~ zenrubble$ cd /Users/zenrubble/Developer/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/sdk
Macintosh:sdk zenrubble$ $ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
-bash: $: command not found​

Any Mac users out there able to clue me in on what I might be doing wrong?

Any help appreciated.

On mac you have to use "./" in front of fastboot or adb:

./fastboot oem get_unlock_data

Hope this helps.

I'm a windows user but I had to drop the $ as I too got teh command not found error. The command that worked for me was:

fastboot oem get_unlock_data

The command to type in is "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" do not type the "$"

That worked

That was the problem. I used the ./ and it worked like a charm.

Thanks to all for your help.
