New to android. Using a MAC to unlock, root and install senseless ICS. I've unlocked the bootloader via htcdev. Everything worked and now shows unlocked. I downloaded amon ra version 3.11 and installed with this command:

./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It seemed to work:

sending 'recovery' (4124 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.908s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.265s]
finished. total time: 2.173s

When I go back to the fastboot menu and select recovery it goes to the white HTC screen and freezes. At least I think it freezes. Waited 5 minutes and it didn't do anything. I am trying to root the phone now. It looks like I should be able to root by booting into recovery, go to developer and install su. I may be wrong though. Can someone help me with this? I've searched everywhere and there's not a lot of help on using a MAC. My phone boots normally if I don't go to fastboot.

MrSmith gave me the script to manually enter and it got me to root on my Mac. Maybe he could post the script for everyone. It didn't work when i tried to run it entirely. I had to manually enter each line. But it was flawless. I then installed CWM and was good to go.

I tried amon ra 3.10 and am getting the same results. Do I need to go back to an earlier version? Should I try CWM? If so can someone point to the correct one to use?
