I know nothing about fastboot but usually the $ means a prompt where you
type stuff, not part of the actual command to be typed. Anyway, few
things I would check.
Where is the fastboot executable file located? If it's in /usr/local/bin
then just try doing
cd /usr/local/bin
then you don't have to worry about whether it's in your path or not,
although that one usually is. You can see all the paths terminal will
check to find executable files by doing
echo $PATH
Anyway, once you're in the same directory as fastboot I'd check the
permissions by just doing
chmod 755 fastboot
Then you can make sure terminal looks in your current directory by
preceding the command with dot slash
./fastboot oem get_unlock_data
Apparently there are multiple versions of this tool so make sure you got
the Mac one. Some distros actually call it fastboot-mac.

Hi, I think there's a problem with what I'm trying to do.
I've installed fastboot in /usr/local/bin
Then tried this command
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
I get $ no such file or command.
So I tried without the $ and got:
"permission denied"
Then I tried:
sudo fastboot oem get_unlock_data
I typed my password and hit enter and got:
No such file or directory /usr/local/bin/fastboot
Next I did an LS and I could clearly see that fastboot is in /usr/local/bin. I
also checked for case and found there were no misplaced capitals.
I'm using the instructions for unlocking a boot loader from the motorola
website which you have to log in to get.
It reads:
1 Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume
down buttons simultaneously).
2 On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory
where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure fastboot is in your
$PATH)
3 At the prompt, type
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
4 The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key. Example: On a
Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be
blah blah,
On a Mac OS Desktop, the returned string format would be
blah blah,
Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
