I only need to get it done 1 time, Lord willing, however, I'm quite
desperet. This device has been rendered useless until I am able to flash
this custom firmware.

Subject: Re: Will Disk Utility restore .IMG Images?
Hi Chris
There are ways of doing it, but I’m not sure that Disk Utility will.
Depends; how urgent is your urgency? How desperate are you to get the job
done? How many times will you require this functionality? If you come up
with the right criteria, then perhaps NTI’s Mac software might be the answer
to your prayers. If not, then there are probably still ways, but I cannot
think of them right off hand.
`In the message I read on our sister group from you earlier today, you
declared that this was “Urgent”. OK, hopefully that gives you somewhere to
manoeuvre.

So, here's the situation in a nutshell.
I have a .IMG file which is the firmware for a device that I need to flash.
The only problem is, it's a .IMG file, not an ISO. And, it's definitely!
not a DMG. The documentation states that I need to burn the .IMG file to a
micro SD card, therefore placing the image on the card, and making it
bootable. Before any of you who may be fairly basic to intermediate mac
users say anything about, just hit command+C on the file, move to your SD
card, and hit command+V to paste, no. That won't work. It's not that easy.
I don't need the actual .IMG file on the SD card. If it was that simple,
I'd already have done it. No, I can't hit command+O on the file in the
Finder, extract its contents then copy the contents to the card. That won't
work either. The card has to be bootable, and that method, though it may
get the content there won't keep it as such. I know how to make the card be
formatted Fat32, and I know how to make the card only have 1 partition. I
also know how to m
ake that partition active... I... think, all of which are required. The
only thing I don't! know how to do is get that darn IMG image
extracted/burned for lack of better term, to the SD card itself. I know
about the drag and drop method of Disk Utility. I know that works for
ISO's, and I also know it works for DMG's, obviously, but will it work with
IMG's? If so, then, I should be in business. Yeah, I suppose I could use
terminal in combination with DD, but that's downright a pain in the kneck to
do. I'll do it if there's no other way, but I really don't wanna have to go
read man pages to figure out how the dd command works if I don't have to.
