Flashtool on Mac instructions

!! UPDATE, ALL

There is a flashtool for mac on androxyde's github.

Basically...

You need (in this order):

1/ Xcode, Download and install it from App store/your mac's supplied DVD/Apple developer website

> If using version 3 and earlier, make sure the "UNIX Development", "System Tools", "Command Line Tools", or "Command Line Support" is selected during the installation process,

> If using version 3 and earlier, Apple's Command Line Developer Tools are found at the Apple Developer Connection site

2/ MacPorts, See section 2 on http://www.macports.org/install.php.

Then:

3/ Download and unzip flashtool from androxyde's github

More prep work for the USB stuff:

4/ Open Terminal and type/run code:

ls -la /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib

If "no file or directory" found then run code:

sudo port install libusb

Now, to run Flashtool (ASSUMING YOU DID NOT RENAME THE FLASHTOOL FOLDER AND PROGRAM NAME SINCE UNZIP!):

5/ Open Terminal and type/run code:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib; */Flashtool/FlashTool;

or

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib; ~/Downloads/Flashtool/FlashTool;

Alternatively:

> Open up the "Flashtool" Unix Executable File in TextEdit

> Copy and paste

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib

the the line directly underneath export OS=$(uname -s)

> Save it, and from now on, double click the FlashTool executable file to open flashtool

6/ Flashtool window should pop up and a smile appears on your face :)

Maintenance

7/ To update MacPorts and installed ports, open terminal and run:

sudo port -v selfupdate; sudo port -v upgrade outdated;
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanRG1996:
That's right there is a FlashTool Mac Edition check it out: http://androxyde.github.com/
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvining:
Thanks for the post. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable was the key for me. With the 2 mods for steps 6 & 8 in bold, these directions worked on my MacBook Air. FlashTool now comes up and runs!

-- Cronin

6/ Last line of code to run in Terminal for prep:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib

Becomes:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib

​

Now run Flashtool:

7/ Open the Flashtool folder which you unzipped in 3/

8/ Double click on "Flashtool" (Unix Executable File)

Becomes:

go to your FlashTool folder

cd ../FlashTool

​

execute the FlashTool:

- ./Flashtool

i have the same problem can someone help me?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0YU:
currently trying to diagnose it, I got the same problem too xD
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brim4brim:
The problem is that instead of */Flashtool/Flashtool you should replace before * with the the path from root to the file.

On my system this was:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib; /Users/<username>/Downloads/Flashtool/FlashTool;

Was getting same error and then it loaded :)

edit--

In fact, just open FlashTool in text wrangler or another editor and paste this in:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib

after line:

export OS=$(uname -s)

save that and it should work. I did this, then I got an app got Platypus and wrapped the whole thing into a .app file. I'd upload it but it is 80 megs and I have a quarter meg upload rate :(

You could probably put that jar on the same path as the other files and it would find it, and save others going through the other steps but I'm not sure. I've not had time to try.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0YU:
oops, did the unix wildcard " * " not work on your machine? :( yeah it's either that or

~/Downloads/Flashtool/FlashTool

should also work. Thanks for the heads up, might update my tutorial more to cover more stuff and maybe release a moded FlashTool executable, I'm not sure ;)

Whenever I try to run the commands, I get the following error message:

I have the latest version of Java installed on my Mac, and I can actually see the Java icon from the Control Panel. Any ideas about the error I get?

1// What version of Mac OS X are you running on?

2// What do you get when you run java -version in terminal?

btw are you trying to run flashtool version v0.9.9.0 or an older one?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0YU:
Thanks SchmuFoo, personally never had encountered that problem but will ask around on possible solutions.

Currently I'm following the trails of libusbx as only that seem to have a version 1.0.14 (default libusb seem to ends at 1.0.9)

!!! EDIT !!!!

It is libusbx (also mentioned in the Flashtool's change log site), but it is not an available port on MacPort. I'm not that good of an expert but if you can figure out how to compile and "install" the library after downloading it from their website, please contribute :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Vulcan:
You may want to try another package manager for Mac. Brew has version 1.0.16 of libusbx available. The directory format is a bit different than MacPorts, but you should be able to modify the FlashTool script to correctly import the library. It would be something like:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/libusbx​

Of course, this will depend on how Brew is configured. You'll also want to consider whether it's worth the trouble to install an entirely new package manager ;)

Yes , it works.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnC60:
Is it sufficient to remove the .apk and .odex files from "/system/apps" or do I have to also remove entries from a package list somewhere else?

I'd like to remove some apps from Gene's Liberated 2.2.2 ROM before flashing. Some of the apps like Facebook, Twitter, Acrobat, Maps, etc. are going to get immediately updated after the ROM is installed. Other apps like calculator and Quickoffice, I will be installing replacements and upgrades.

This then leaves both the old (in /system/apps) and the new (in /data/apps) copies in the phone. Would it not be more space efficient if these apps were removed from the ROM before flashing and then installed afterwards?

Because the apps on the ROM is getting old as time goes by, maybe it's time to create a minimalist version and let everyone install current versions of the apps as needed.

Are the ROMs block-aligned when flashed such that it wouldn't make a difference unless you remove enough data to free up an entire block?

A big "Thank You" to Gene and ATTN1 for their work in maintaining this for the Aria users.

-John
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Yes you can open the zip file and delete the files from the /system/app directory before you flash the ROM.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Yes.

No. The system partition and the data partition are completely separate. The system partition can hold up to 240MB and the data partition can hold up to 185MB. Freeing up space on the system partition will not give you any additional space on the data partition.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnC60:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbahde:
I am unable to boot into recovery mode to upgrade to CM 7.0.3 – unit just powers off. I would prefer to upgrade rather than start from scratch

1.	On SD card

2.	Initial install via generic-sdcard-v1.1.img

3.	Original update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip

4.	Currently running update-cm-7.0.2-encore-signed.zip updated via boot into recovery

5.	Running Dalingrin’s OC from 4/4/11

6.	Updated NookCol to 1.2 via boot into recover

7.	16G Wintech class 10 or 16G PNY class 4: both fail

8.	Could not do initial install (7.0.0) on 16 G cards – had to use Kingston 2G class 2; have transferred that image to the 16G cards and expanded the 4th partition to utilize the full 16G cards

9.	Have added j4mm3r multi-boot files / process to eliminate timing issues to get into recovery mode – still powers off

10.	‘Touch the Future of Reading’ is the boot message with the 7.0.2 card in

11.	I’ve attempted to work with the files verygreen posted yesterday (update-genimage-1.2.zip) but without getting into recovery mode that’s not working for me.

Reviewing all the threads I have been unable to determine next steps. I believe a comment verygreen posted pertains to my problem, but don’t know what to do with it: (Post # 156: The stock 1.2 u-boot should be working fine, btw, but it cnnot find "BCB" and decides to power off instead.)

I also tried going back to the 2G card – but the image I use is now 16G even after I shrink the partition, so that fails.

Any suggestions on next steps would be appreciated, thanks.

here is what my phone is saying in about phone after clockwork kdz flash

i personally dont think either of the kdz's i flashed worked

also she is rooted

can anyone give me a hand please so i can put cust ROM on her phone
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Ok first i need to know what KDZ with fastboot you flashed, second did you check that the KDZ show -- FINISHED -- after 5-10 minutes that takes the process to finish?

What are the combo buttons you're pressing for get in fastboot?

The proper way is CAMERA+POWER BUTTON ( Hold camera button for 1 sec then hold power button without put down camera button, so both buttons needs to be pressed)

The phone will boot , you'll see LG LOGO then after that you should see a dark-blue clean screen (no logo, no letters, NOTHING! just a clean screen). If you get in the mode, congratulations, you are in fastboot now!
[GT540 Optimus General] adz63:
Hi IM not on PC at the moment. But I downloaded the 2.1 with fastboot from Modaco (I think) and on the kdz it said all things like param 1-128 call ended and a few other things but noting said fail and then it said finish. I did leave it for about 5 mins after it said finish before I exited and unplugged. I also done camera power and it just boots phone normally.
[GT540 Optimus General] adz63:
ok i put the v20b 2.1 with fastboot back onto the phone with kdz updater , but i caAN STILL NOT GET IT TO BLANK SCREEN JUST FULL REBOOT TO NORMAL
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
ok now that you there try with the KDZ modified by Mur4ik so you get data2system method too...

so follow this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13620585&postcount=1

Advantages: Its the lates stock 2.1 ROM released in March 2011, it has fastboot and support for recovery as well plus it has been modified for get 238MB of space for install apps.

PS: *When it get stuck at --apram 244 - 245 you done is normal (you wont see -- FINISHED --)

* the process will take 5 minutes, not even 10

* the fastboot screen is blue, more like electric blue with white letters wich is very different than the normal fastboot mode we are used to, so dont panic is normal.

ok got into fastboot on device (i think ) it says suspend reset port change etc .

when running fastboot.exe -w it says waiting for device ..

[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Is the screen blue with white letters?, if so then you are in fastboot.

What O/S do you have xp, windows 7, 32, 64 bits? you need to install the proper drivers for your pc recognize your phone in fastboot mode

Download Drivers for your computer recognize the phone in fastboot mode. Unzip and put the files inside the folder in C:\android-sdk (take a look of the 3th image)

I've noticed an intermittent issue with it and vlingo 2.5.6.1. Sometimes it will drop the connection with the Bluetooth speaker phone in my truck as well as with my ear piece. It doesn't drop connection while in use, but between calls. It doesn't matter if I power up the device first or if I launch vlingo first.

The other issue is using Personalize in Settings. If I select Personalize, it immediately closes and takes me back to the main screen.

Is anyone else using this version of vlingo and having this issue? What about Personalize?
