Not quite, step 4 that was listed was the combined method to flash both image and bootrom. If you only want to flash the image, thus skipping bootrom, then you’ll need to explicitly run . /pm3-flash-fullimage.
To clarify, if you entirely skip the mentioned step 4, of flash-all, you are flashing nothing to the device. You’ve compiled the client then done nothing with it on the device side thus the client will be mismatched against the full-image/bootrom of the device versus that on the computer.
If you want to compile the client and only flash full-image then:
cd proxmark3
git pull
make -j
./pm3-flash-fullimage
./pm3

Small disclaimer: my original comment was over a year ago and I have not actively kept up with the development of the Proxmark3 nor it’s github repo. Please take my comment with a pinch a salt and verify it’s accuracy with your own research.
Choice of beverage today was Green Mountain French Vanilla Coffee with French Vanilla Coffee Mate Creamer. Not the best, but when work provides you will free coffee, you don’t complain!
Your device should be recognised without the need for using the button trick. In your case, I’d do the same process, do the button trick then flash bottom (or flash all). Once complete, unplug then replug and it should be recognised without the need of the button.
The button trick is a way to force the device into bootrom so it can be flashed after a corrupt/bad image.
Still odd but I don’t have enough Proxmark experience on mac to really comment or help further.
From my understanding, it should still be recognised without the need of using the button trick as that’s how it’s intended to be used; compile, flash, plug in and use.
