sbf_flash should work on MacOS X. It works for everyone else.Ok, well none of this is working for my mac. Is there a way I can do it with just using my phone?
You cannot flash an SBF without a computer.

You cannot flash an SBF without a computer.
You should save it as a file on your disk, not open it. For example, save it in your home directory (~), and then open a terminal window (or file properties) and type “chmod 755 sbf_flash” (or, in the properties, make sure the file is marked executable for you, the group you belong to, and everyone else).
Then just plug the phone into USB, and type “./sbf_flash DROID2WE_X6_2.4.29_FULL.sbf” (for example); in MacOS X your standard shell should support filename completion so it should be possible to type “./sbf_flash DR”, press the TAB key, and the file name will be autocompleted to DROID2WE_X6_2.4.29_FULL.sbf.
(Of course, you need to hit the ENTER key once you complete entering a command with its arguments.)
Welcome to Darwin!
[localhost ~] joseyjos%
Welcome to Darwin!
[localhost ~] joseyjos% chmod 755 sbf_flash
[localhost ~] joseyjos% ./sbf_flash DROID2WE_X6_2.4.29_FULL.sbf
Copy the file (sbf_flash) and the SBF file to your home folder (I don't think it'll be easy to explain to you how to change directories in the Terminal).
Go to Utilities → Terminal (in your Applications).
You'll see a window appear, with text that goes somewhat like
Where joseyjos is your user name.Code:Welcome to Darwin! [localhost ~] joseyjos%
That's where you type the commands I listed above, like this:
Code:Welcome to Darwin! [localhost ~] joseyjos% chmod 755 sbf_flash [localhost ~] joseyjos% ./sbf_flash DROID2WE_X6_2.4.29_FULL.sbf
chmod shouldn't output anything on successful completion.
sbf_flash, however, spams out a lot of debug information.
