Root on 2.2 Mac

I'm a Mac user and want to root my X. Are there potential for problems since my device is already on 2.2? Thanks.

The real question is how do you already have 2.2 on your X?

I have no answer to that. Must have been OTA. Flash is decent. Kongregate runs well.

Well, lucky you I guess. But to answer your question, you can try to do it (at your own risk) using the 2.1 method since nobody has had the chance to test it out on 2.2 since nobody has it yet.

You have a couple options but again, do this at your own risk.

Here's a video of a guy doing it with a Mac.

and you can also do it on the device with the terminal emulator

if you do decide to do it and you're successful, you should use a screenshot application and show off your rooted 2.2 X. I'd be very interested to see that since all of the 2.2 Droid X screenshots have looked photoshopped.

I call BS with no Screenshot.

No problem at all.

It should be the same process (hopefully) and it should go over just as smooth but without anybody testing yet, it's kinda like uncharted waters so I think you're making a good decision to hold off on it.
