Problem using mac root method in general forum - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So i attempted the mac root method found on the general forum, had a couple flags come up in the terminal while rooting and now I have no cellular reception.
AT&T SGS3. Only a slashed circle in place of cellular bars. Here's the terminal log:
results of terminal root:

What did i do? how do i fix it?

I am by no means a mac user but looking at your terminal output it appears the file you were trying to flash was incomplete, or was disconnected before the flash was completed....hence the 'unexpected end of file' error. I would suggest redownloading whatever you used and run it again. Worst case scenario you can always flash back to stock using whatever the preferred method on mac is, not being a mac user i am at a total loss what this might be so maybe some of the other mac users can lend a hand in that department.

[Q] Downgrade from 2.50.405.2

Hi people.
I realize that the usual response to threads like this is "read the forum" but I honestly have, I've tried several guides but I get no luck.
So if anyone would please help me out, it would be much appreciated and maybe helpful for others.
The way I've understood things is that I need to
1. Temproot
2. Downgrade using a goldcard.

Error opening input file.
C:\DHDDowngrade>adb reboot bootloader​
There is an error here, but I haven't found anyone else having this problem, and don't even know if it really is a problem.
So I've ignored it, and continued on creating a coldcard.
I've tried using Goldcard manager from the market, I've tried retrieving the reverse CID manually. I've pasted the data from the generated image file onto the card and saved. A few times I've not been able to paste PD98IMG.zip on to the card afterwards, giving me the error that the card must be formatted to work, but lastly it would let me copy. If I try reading the card, I do get the error that the card has to be formatted. My HTC also tells me theres something wrong with the SD card. I've ignored this, and booted into the bootmanager. For a split second theres a green text saying something i along the lines of "PD98IMG image not found".
And so it ends, I can't get any further.
So the questions summarized are;
1.Is this the correct order?
2.Am I rooted, even if I have to type "adb shell" to get the "#"?
3.When dowgrading, is the "Error opening input file" fatal?
4.Is the card supposed to be unreadable after pasting the hex data onto it?
Sorry for the neverending post, but getting a custom rom onto my Desire HD has been very, very hard. Unsuccesful so far. Please help me out
Best regards from Norway.
Hi there noticed no one has replied I have plenty of time to help you out the best I can. I recently did this last week and had no problems. Im still learning myself so sorry if i am not the best of help.
wow long post
After skimming your post I did notice something. I pretty sure that you need to create a gold card first. If you still have problems creating a GoldCard get back to me but here is the link:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
I then followed this tutorial to downgrade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
and then use the s-off tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
hope that helps, get back to me if you need help.
I used these two guides when rooting my DHD, I also had to use a goldcard but the link for that is in the downgrade page below.
1. Downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
2. Root + Radio installation + Rom installation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
As far as I know, the two links above are the correct order, as long as you get the # its safe to proceed and the card should be usable after you make it into a goldcard, at least I still use mine. Oh, and you shouldn't receive any errors throughout the process, it might not be fatal but why take a chance.

Thanks to all of you for replying.
My head was spinning after going through different tutorials and problem solutions - and I had frankly given up the whole thing.
But TheJokaH's one-click method seemed intriguing so I decided to give this one.last.shot. And it worked!
I don't know why this isn't posted as the only sticky thread at the Q&A section - because is definitely the only way to get one started with custom roms.
Thanks again!

[Q] Trying to root. Cannot enter recovery (nor Philz nor TWRP): bootloop

Hi evreyone !
I spent hours trying and reading posts everywhere I could without any success.
I'm trying to follow this rooting guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634196 (Root and Dual Recovery for Locked Bootloader) and I'm stuck in a bootloop at step 10.
I'm using the last Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.7.117-BETA.installer.zip and I noticed an error during recovery installation (after DEVICE WILL NOW REBOOT!):

I tried the whole process (from the begining: docomo) several time and end up everytime with the same result: an error at the end of the recovery installation and a bootloop at step 10 that prevent me from entering any recovery...

Read the requirements and it links to how to root, and if you can't or won't unlock your bootloader then you're going to have to jump through hoops.

Of course I red the requirements. The root method described is the same (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081) than the one I followed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634196). And so the result is going to be the same: being stuck in a bootloop after flashing the recovery form the computer (flashing witch returns an error that I quoted above).
I need help to "recover" the recovery, I mean to be able to properly flash the dual recovery on my phone (whether I wish to unlock the bootloader or not is not the point for now, since I need to root with the locked bootloader in the first place).
It's obvious that there is an error while installing dualrecovery. However I don't know what could cause that error. I advise you to try install it on a fresh ubuntu / Windows client.
Edit: You are executing the install.sh script right? Because at first you select option 3, which is missing in your output. It looks like you are simply executing installrecovery.sh which is of course wrong.
