[Q] HTC Thunderbolt Root with MAC Issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my tbolt with Revolutionary and then unrooted because I was having issues and took it to Verizon. Now I want to reroot and am having issues.
I am trying to understand Android root via Mac so I used the method from thelowend's thread [04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit)
but for some reason It did not work. I'm new to this but I really want to understand it so I can help bring this to Mac users out there. I am running Mac OSX Lion
I know I have S_OFF as My HBoot screen reads:

This is what I got, any help is greatly appreciated.

Root + Unroot

Hi,
I tried root with DoomLord's script and also with unlockroot.com, both failed
I need an easy way to root and also unroot
System version is 65.1.21.XT910.Retail.en.il
Thanks!
Unzip to disk с:\, run run.bat.
Wait until the end.
Enjoy
Yes, I have this
But before I try I want to know what is the unrooting method for this
Thanks

With the motofail root method, on the xt912 at least, doomlords unroot method worked when I tried it.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
I have the xt910. Anyone has any idea if it will also work? I need anything to unroot except factory reset

To do it is not possible,will only reset!
OK, so here is the full story. My RAZR is the XT910 running on 2.3.5
I made sure I have the most updated motorola drivers, phone is connected via USB on Charge Only, USB Debugging and Unknown Sources enable
unlockroot - recognizes the phone but fails to root, first error says: "failed to chmod file :/data/local/tmp" and then "failed to get shell root"
DoomLord fails:

I have not tried the motofail option because I am not sure how to Unroot. I did however find this:

Please help...
Thanks
Had the same problem yesterday,
Roted with winfail,
then tryed to unroot using doomlord.
both of them worked for me on OTA 2.3.6 version
Check out this program. http://bit.ly/HoXqYg
I used it to root my phone (on 2.3.6, and 2.3.5). Never tried unrooting, but rooting and install safestrap worked well for me.
