This wont root the phone for him. He will have to run Odin to install cwm & flash a rooted rom or run zergrush on the stock 2.3.5 rom

Yes I know. It a program so he can do it on a mac

Not sure that alone will do, he needs the Samsung drivers. To avoid issues just bootcamp windows and root there, that's how I did mine

This has been asked and answered here previously, (1,2).
The file mentioned in the post above is a Wineskin wrapper for the Windows Odin program to run on Mac OSX. In other words it's the Windows Odin program running on Wine, on Mac OSX. However, the person that developed it posted this thread over on the android forums and the folks there that tried it, state that it didn't work. (Probably because the Wine emulation doesn't provide correct access to the USB ports).
To the OP, currently the only way to root the SGH-T989 is by using the Windows only program Odin. (The cross platform program Heimdall may be able to in the future, but right now there's this bug that keeps it from correctly accessing the SGH-T989). So this means if you have a Mac OSX computer, you need to install a full Windows OS. Either a multiboot installation of OSX and Windows using Boot Camp, or a full Windows OS, running in a Virtual Machine, like Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox. In terms of running Odin in Windows VM, this post describes success using Parallels, this post success using VMWare Fusion, and I posted here, that I successfully rooted my SGH-T989 using VirtualBox on Linux, (it should work similarly on OSX).
Good Luck..

Bootcamp ftw. The only thing I do with my windows partition is run Odin, qpst and zergrush.

I have a Win7 virtual machine installed on my Mac using VMware just for my occasional need for windows only apps, I booted into the VM and rooted 3 SGSII using that method. Virtualbox(free) should also work, but I haven't tried it.

That's a very good question but from what I know if I'm not mistaken is that you possibly can't root your phone with a Mac
that's just my knowledge...

From my understanding no, Odin will not work unless it's on Windows, I've heard people run it on a virtual OS on a Mac. You should just ask a friend really to save you time.

Install windows on your Mac is an option

Yeah, running a virtual OS is possible but a risk, so I suggest you go to a friend or install windows with bootcamp
Duel boot Linux or Ubuntu s latest . then get adb working in my Sig on PC or desktop view are three lines in my Sig .open terminal and paste those in one at a time and enter.you have adb. Then unzip the zip push the root and push its su file via adb to their rightful place that should root your phone without Odin or just get adb working on your Mac and do the same. I like Linux and Ubuntu though, over Mac. Or here *-X-*
also get fastboot working so that you can use it to install a custom recovery like twrp with this command `~ fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Before Odin was ADB.

At what part are you thinking you will fail?
just get a windows7 and use odin macs complicate things for Android users.
or dual boot Linux Mint for free.
Or Root with Mac via ADB
that guide is for the Nexus Toro so of course you will use only recoveries and files for the t-989.. the su file is somewhat universal as in the newer su files will work with most if not all devices Ive encountered certainly a su file that works for nexus would work for our device and so would superuser .apk but recoveries are device specific and the wrong one will result in a possible brick, very likely.
google heimdall
I'm trying to root my Kindle Fire; I've got it plugged in but I've got two problems.
Computer can't find it
ADB can't find it
Though it does say Android ADB interface, it just can't find the Kindle.
You need to install the drivers

I tried that. It still failed.
It's still a driver problem.
Go to rev Kyle's tutorial for setting up adb install the android sdk and make sure you uninstall the drivers and reinstall the drivers using that software when I set it up it was a lil screwy in that what I thought was installing the drivers was actually uninstalling them..anyway those are the drivers I used and it worked fine multiple times
