I cannot get the usb symbol to display unless I connect while pressing the u button. The phone is charged but it still has an orange light, has this something to do with it ? 

Once i connect I get the same error. I am trying to use the flasher for osx.

sudo flasher -F ARM.bin -u

Tried this but u is an invalid argument for the osx binary.
