Meizu MX - Rooting using 'Casual' - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I am trying to root my quad core MX, (mainland running flyme 1.0.3) using Adam's Casual [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885789]
I click "Do it" in causal, and it prompts me to click again, when the screen has gone black. (Is this when it starts to reboot? When I do that I get an error message:

Problem using mac root method in general forum

So i attempted the mac root method found on the general forum, had a couple flags come up in the terminal while rooting and now I have no cellular reception.
AT&T SGS3. Only a slashed circle in place of cellular bars. Here's the terminal log:

What did i do? how do i fix it?
I am by no means a mac user but looking at your terminal output it appears the file you were trying to flash was incomplete, or was disconnected before the flash was completed....hence the 'unexpected end of file' error. I would suggest redownloading whatever you used and run it again. Worst case scenario you can always flash back to stock using whatever the preferred method on mac is, not being a mac user i am at a total loss what this might be so maybe some of the other mac users can lend a hand in that department.

[Q] Chmod *.xml in cwm 5,0.2.8 failed

Can anybody tell me how I can do a chmod on multiple files of the same type? For example, I had this line in my updater-script:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "chmod", "0660", "/data/data/*/*.xml");
This script will execute just fine, but the files did not have 0660 permissions. Then I tried:
run_program("/system/xbin/busybox", "chmod", "0660", "/data/data/*/*.xml");
I copied recovery.log to /sdcard/(using recovery's report error) and I read the log. I searched for the line(s) related to that problematic line in the updater-script and this is what it says:
run_program: child exited with status 1
about to run program [sbin/busybox] with 4 args
chmod: /data/data/*/*.xml: No such file or directory
Both scripts(before and after I edited it) gave similar errors.
Can anybody tell me what I did wrong/ what is the correct way to do it? Thanks a lot. I hope I don't have to chmod all the files manually.

This thread covers installing backtrack on the Xoom tablet. Also implies it can be installed on other devices. Last activity in the thread was in 2012 but there still may be some helpful information.
