Decided to root my Droid DNA for all the good stuff that comes as a result. I've done a lot of research and all the guides I've come across assume that the user already knows a lot about this kind of stuff, which I don't. There's all this talk about kernals, moonshine, and S-OFF.

Basically, I want to root but don't want to brick my device. I'm on a mac (and have read that being on one changes the rooting process). So far I have looked at this,
[s-off] Moonshine s-off for Droid DNA - UPDATE | Droid DNA > XDA and this, RK World: Easy way to Set up ADB and Fastboot on a Mac but don't really know where to go from here.

It's a shame that there isn't a step-by-step guide for people like me. I can't be the only clueless one here, right?

I'm interested in trying to get sense 5 on my DNA, but right now just want to make it so that I can remove all the stock crap, customize it, and be able to control it more.
 
The moonshine method is pretty straightforward. Just follow the steps at Moonshine.io. Even though you have a Mac, I think you can use a Linux Live CD.
