I'm itching to do this, can you do it with Windows operating system?? I know the commands are in Linux. Is there a program I can install to write Linux commands from a Windows computer?? Or is it included in closeone's CD?? Thanks.

Everything you need should be included in closeone's Live CD. Just boot it up on your PC and follow the tut. Should have it done in no time.
I've been doing a lot of reading in preparation for rooting my Evo 3D that I've had since launch and with all the cool tools now available, there hardly seems to be any benefit to downgrade to HBOOT 1.4. Am I missing something?

I had no linux experience whatsoever, very limited knowledge of command terminals, and a lot if anxiety before I dove in and gave it a shot. I'm a total newb, just come on here to listen to the devs chat about what's going on with roms and flash a new one here and there blah blah blah. I maybe even should have realized I had no business trying the downgrade to 1.4 but I did it anyway. It was absofrickinlutely EASY, and all I did was follow and mimic EXACTLY what was in the videos. If some arbitrary know nothing newb like me can research for a couple hours how to make sense of the steps and get through it, the rest of you who haven't jumped should have no problem whatsoever! Just throwing that out there for what its worth.

So I just picked up a new Tbolt, sealed in the box. Has not been activated yet.
I am going to root it and have rooted many Dinc, Evos etc with Unrevoked, but I have never been able to obtain root on windows and always have used Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)
Should I stick with Ubuntu (now on 11.10 but can revert as its a spare computer) or is it better to use the current revolutionary with Windows?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Does it matter if I root before I activate the phone?

Revolutionary works fine on Vista as well

I've used Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 11.04/11.10 and revolutionary worked well on both. I would activate the phone before you root. No real reason, its just my opinion.
Damn... I was gonna root before but I will wait. It's a Christmas present to myself so I was planning in opening up a rooted phone...but I guess ill have have all Xmas day to do that after the kids pass out from excitement

It'll be available for you to flash right after release, and you probably won't need to lose root for that.

Ha! Then you'll take the ICS ota and be blessed with a new hboot that could take months to unlock. Just get S-off now, while you can. Then flash whatever ROM you want for as long as you have the phone. The linux part was the easiest part of the ordeal. It's just a few simple commands. Copy and paste them if you need to.

Wow, that has got to be the fastest s-off crack of a new hboot! Whatever exploit they use HTC must not have been able to stop it.

Hopefully this can "fix" the issue a few of us have that somehow were updated to hboot 2.09 but still have firmware 1.05 by the 3.15 RUU.

The fact this (DirtyRacun in Genereal) depends on flashing the last RUU is not hopeful though. We'll see and I'll certainly be subscribing to the S-off thread.

I'm curious if the limitation to 32bit is simply because the developers didn't test on 64bit (and therefore won't support) or if there is any real threat to running on 64bit. I guess I could boot Linux 32 from USB, but prefer to just go with what I have. Currently I have Windows 7 64bit. Anyone else have sucess this way?
Now, here's my problem...all my computers are 64 bit. According to unlimited.io, the main issue they have is drivers. But they make it clear that it WILL NOT work on 64 bit... any suggestions rather than getting a new computer?
EDIT: didnt see the posts above me and below bigdaddy's(dunno why) but I think once again its a driver issue like they state on their website.

They make it clear that they WILL NOT SUPPORT, not that it doesn't work. I know it works but it is difficult to support everything, just download a livecd Ubuntu 32bit and load it up, run the exploit and be good to go.

If you're on the latest firmware you'll need to use Babyracun to downgrade and then continue with Dirtyracun or Facepalm. I did Babyracun and then Facepalm.

I didn't even know what Ubuntu was and I was able to get s-off. I suggest you make a live cd and play around with it until you feel comfortable. Its easy just follow the directions to the letter, and download all the files completly first before you try starting the s-off process. Thats what I didn't do and kept getting an error. Team Unlimited also has a support channel.
