being the owner of a droid bionic on the 902 update I am interested in rooting it. But it appears as I am a MAC user this is not a possibility? To be specific I use an IMAC with the lion OS. Are there instructions for doing this or is all the android development done on the bill gates machines only, our version of the Steve Jobs monopoly.

Ok, let me first say that I have not tried this, but the MotoFail root method has a section showing how to root using Mac or Linux. The site is here: [Only registered users can view links. ]
Quote:
Update: a Linux/OSX version of the script is available here. Same deal: USB debugging mode, attach to PC, extract zip file, change into the zip directory, and invoke “./run.sh” from a shell.
To simplify that a bit:
- you set the phone to use USB debugging mode. Settings->applications->development->turn on USB debugging
- attach to pc = should be obvious, but attach the phone to your PC by USB cable.
- extract zip file = open the zip file that you download into a folder on your Mac
- change to the zip directory = start the Mac application Terminal. (It is in the utilities folder in your applications folder.) This will open a terminal window with a $ prompt. Switch to the Finder and change to the directory where the files you unzipped are located. If you look at the top of the finder window, you will see a blue folder icon with the name of the folder next to it. Switch back to the terminal window and type "cd " (that's the letter c, the letter d, followed by a space - do not hit enter.) Now, drag that folder icon at the top of the finder window I mentioned before to the terminal window and drop it. This will type the actual folder path next to the "cd " that you typed before. Now, activate the terminal window if it is not the active window and hit enter. You have now changed to the zip directory. (Whew! That was a lot of steps for five words!)
- invoke “./run.sh” from a shell = type that exact phrase in the terminal window - period, slash, letter r, letter u, letter n, period, letter s, letter h, hit enter. This should start the root procedure.
any idea why i get this. ive tried multiple methods for rooting the 902 system version on both mac and windows. none work.
USB debugging is on.

I don't understand how you added the .OSX extension to the ADB file.
Could you please post more instructions? I got the same fail response you posted.
Thanks
1.just downloaded the SDK files.
2. Move to Desktop
3. opened up the platform tools folder
4. Moved all the files from the MotoFail folder into Platform Tools
5. Renamed the 'ADB' file to 'ADB.OSX'
6. Open Terminal
7. Change directory into Platform Tools
8. Invoke 'run.sh' file.
after hours of permissions denied the MotoFail method was the only thing that worked for me
worked on my Bionic with 5.9.902
using MacOSX 10.6.8
Instructions:
* Download the required files from [Only registered users can view links. ]
* Extract them to a folder
* Enable USB debugging mode in phone setting
* Connect your Droid Bionic to your mac
* Execute “RUN.SH” from the extracted files
* You’re good to go.
