Does anybody have instructions for rooting the Thunderbolt on OS X? I've done it in the past with these instructions*, but the most recent Verizon OTA update broke it and those instructions no longer work.

Thanks!

The only root method available for rooting the new Gingerbread update is Revolutionary which requires a PC.

The only other thing I could possibly think of is to partition your Macs harddrive and run Boot Camp which would put Windows onto the Macs split harddrive but its a lot to go through just to root a phone unless you really want your Mac to be able to run Windows for other reasons.
Mac 101: Using Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp

I would try to find someone (friend/family) that has a PC and use theirs.

You could also try flashing back to the MR2 update and try rooting the phone and hope that the phone doesn't try updating itself during the process.... but I doubt it. Chances are the phone will start the update process back to GB before you even get started.
