Just got our Rocket installed for the first time. Driver was successfully installed and RR shows up in System Profiler. The trouble comes with installing the firmware (1.1.8.6). The Install_Firmware file is not executing in Terminal. At first it was opening in TextEdit and when I changed it to open in Terminal, Terminal opens but remains blank.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
That's the one I have. It still opens by default in TextEdit. I'm not sure how to force Terminal into doing something with it. Using Open with... and selecting Terminal doesn't seem to do the trick either. Seems to be something wacky with my system but I'm not sure of the fix.
 
Yeah I tried that... the path comes through but I get "permission denied" as a response.
 
You have to install the new driver first, shut down, start up cold then install the firmware.
 
Driver is installed and cold boot complete. I think my issue is with Terminal.

Conrad, thanks for your help so far... here is what I get with the sudo command...

Merlin:~ Josh$ sudo /Users/Josh/Desktop/expanded/RED_Rocket_Installer_v1.3.2c/RED_Rocket_MacOSX/REDrocket_OSX_firmware_1.1.8.6/Install_Firmware
sudo: /Users/Josh/Desktop/expanded/RED_Rocket_Installer_v1.3.2c/RED_Rocket_MacOSX/REDrocket_OSX_firmware_1.1.8.6/Install_Firmware: command not found

Something is strange with your account setup or the path.

Try this:
sudo /Users/Josh/Desktop/expanded/RED_Rocket_Installer_v1.3.2c/RED_Rocket_MacOSX/REDrocket_OSX_firmware_1.1.8.6/rocketup_1.1.8.6
 
Hi Deenan. Still I get Command not found.

Merlin:~ Josh$ sudo /Users/Josh/Desktop/expanded/RED_Rocket_Installer_v1.3.2c/RED_Rocket_MacOSX/REDrocket_OSX_firmware_1.1.8.6/rocketup_1.1.8.

Bad copy/paste on my part, but still the same end result...

Merlin:~ Josh$ sudo /Users/Josh/Desktop/expanded/RED_Rocket_Installer_v1.3.2c/RED_Rocket_MacOSX/REDrocket_OSX_firmware_1.1.8.6/rocketup_1.1.8.6
