flashing a stockAndroidROM using a MAC

[zoran]

Im trying to flash the latest Android Stock ROM on my HTC DesireHD and i have found ways to do it using a WindowsPC but nothing Mac OSX related and this thing really bugs me!
Does anyone know some way to do this from a mac?

Have you checked XDA? They always have mac methods there.

cant seem to find one for the DesireHD ive found one for the X1

How familiar are you with adb? It's really no different on a mac. You basically just add ./ in front of all your adb commands.

im not familiar with anything related to flashing stock roms using a mac etc

A little more information is needed here. Which ROM are you trying to flash? Is it an HTC build, or is it AOSP? Is it an RUU, or a .zip file?

stuff i downloaded from this thread

That looks like an exploit to gain S-OFF (among other things), not a ROM.

I don't mean this negatively, but it sounds like you would benefit greatly by doing a bit more research and spending a little more time figuring out exactly what and why you want to modify your device.

I don't want to modify it for performance, i want it to be stable and trustworthy. The problem is that its a phone originated from Australia and the only languages available in locale are Australian English and New Zealand English and i fear that this might have an impact on using it in Europe and working with my native language. So changing ROM (stock not custom), i believe this will be altered. Thanx for your comment though

Can't you just change that in Settings > Language & Input? Are you already stock or is it rooted with a custom ROM?

Isnt there a way using a Mac to upgrade android 2.3.5 sense 3.0 + radio and bootloader (Latest stock ROM released for HTC Desire HD)?

 

[zoran]

Ok i've managed to do it with help from a PC guy and using a PC (i hate that ).
Now im trying to flash the latest Android Stock ROM to an even older phone (HTC DesireZ) by using a Mac! Anyone that can help this time?
