Windows computer users are usually the luckier ones when it comes to having tools for customizing their Android phones. That leaves Mac users having to borrow a friend’s Windows computer to fiddle with their devices but today, Mac users who own either the AT&T or Rogers HTC One X have gotten lucky.

Thanks to XDA Developers senior member jnichols959, Mac users can easily unlock the bootloaders on their their phones and set the phones to SuperCID. The Mac Bootloader SuperCID Unlock Script is a combination of the Linux script from Jeepfreak and DesignGears’ Windows Script with some tweaks. And, as it says on the tin, it only runs on Mac computers.
