Didn't work. Haha I think I'm stuck. Can't root using a computer because I'm on a mac, and all these one touch roots don't work with my model. Any advice? :S

Beg and plead a friend?

I installed Windows 7 inside VMWare on my Hackint0sh and that worked pretty well.

I must throw in my two cents. While these one-click methods do work, I have seen quite a few threads about people having problems with these apps; mainly losing root later on and only being able to flash the SBF file to get back to working

While I know the method I suggest is only on windows for now, these apps are to be applied with caution.

I still suggest finding a friend or a relative who has a PC to do this rooting process to get it done right.

Thanks for the advice! I will try the windows way once I get a hold of my friend's laptop today.
