How do I root my device with Mac OS X? Similar to How do I root my Android device?, except using Mac OS X.

Everywhere I try to find the answer to leads me to Windows applications. Are there any guides or tools for OS X?
It's very device-specific, of course, so you'll have to follow the directions given for the device.

Generally it works to follow the Linux directions for the device, except that you need ADB for Mac OS X.
