Has anyone had any success rooting 2.3.4 on a Mac? The Mac thread on xda was abandoned and some bad reports show up in the thread.
Nexus S 4g 2.3.4
 
What I did long ago and that has made my life much easier since - install Windows via Bootcamp on your Mac.

Although if you must use OSX, I can't imagine the procedure being much different than it is for Windows - just a different version of ADB. Have you tried it yet?
 
i used that thread on XDA and done it without problems, even though i had no idea what i'm doing :) it got complicated at one point since i'm from a country that doesn't support paid apps, and thread says i need ROM Manager, which is paid, but i got root, got Enabler, got RM, flashed recovery

i am using i9023 Nexus S, not the 4G, that should be said :/
