I would prefer to do it on my own machine, at my own house..
My wife has a corporate win7 laptop, but, she doesn't like me using it for stuff like that..
Plus, I haven't used a win doze machine in over 5 years, so I am not that comfortable with them now.
Besides, there are tons of users here that are mac only, and have a hard time getting their hands on a win machine...
unrevoked had a mac solution shortly after they rooted the evo4g, so I am hoping the same thing happens with revolution..
If I recall correctly OSX is a BSD and is POSIX compliant...essentially a *nix... depending on how they implemented their linux version of the fix it might just work or work with csh or bash. Or I'm totally wrong...worth a shot either way.
Edit: Now I'm curious, I'm gunna reboot to hackintosh, brb
sorry, nevermind...it's a binary. I thought it might be a script.
okay, onto solutions.....you are on the internet in 2011 so I'd imagine you have an intel mac...install a temporary windows partition on a spare drive or empty partition....or. go download a linux live CD, burn that and boot to that and run the linux version of the fix.

Go get a windows installation cd. Go to finder>utilities>bootcamp manager>burn the mac drivers for windows> insert windows cd (even if its not "activated)> install windows> do not activate (if you don't have a key)> boom 30 day trial of windows> install mac driver disk>download and install HTC sync> then uninstall only the application HTC sync> install revolutionary> make the beta code and get s off> option boot back into mac> now go back to bootcamp manager and you can restore the partition or keep windows> also go to system preferences and select your start up disk as mac so you don't have to option boot every time lol
Would take less than hour and a half

I'm pretty sure that AlphaRev said that there won't be a Mac version. I could be wrong.
Problem with doing it in a VM is on a Mac doesn't play nice with USB when running a virtual box.
I think s linux live cd or live USB is going to be your best option.

yeah...I think the LiveCD is the quickest route. Blank discs are dirt cheap and you already (most likely) have some sitting right there...there are some absolutely tiny LiveCD installs out there that will download in seconds, burn in seconds and you boot up to a system in a minute or two that is ready to go....sure, sound might not work and 3d acceleration might not work, but, who cares...I have never seen USB not work and that's all that matters.....if the network card/wireless don't wory, big deal...be sure to download that onto a memory stick or usb drive or hard drive first...almost all live cd's can at least read NTFS by now
I tried Ubuntu 11 64 bit, and it would not "test run" from the cd itself, and I didn't want to perm-install Linux at this point..
I have upgraded to OSX 10.7 Lion, and its a little different than Snow Leopard, so I think I can't do it through Linux that way..
Thanks for all these suggestions, guys; I just would prefer a native Mac method, and I bet one gets released in the next few days..Too many Mac only users out there now, especially in the Android Community

Man, I'd be going out of my mind watching all this action here in the Evo 3D section, and not being able to partake in it. I'd be banging on my neighbors door, USB cable in hand and telling him that I have an extreme Android emergency and need to use the computer for 30 minutes. It really should only take about 10 minutes all together, installing the drivers and everything.
You have will power sir. Just watching all this flashing, ROMS, kernels, scripts and everything come to life from the sidelines.
I was able to run Revolutionary just fine using Parallels and a windows 7 installation.. first time messing with vm's, pretty neat I can see myself using it for several things in the future

Well, over the last 20+ years of hacking phones, I have messed up enough of them to learn to take my time when a new "fix" comes out, and wait a few days for the dust to settle, and the problems to get posted; that way, if I have any of them when I do it, the answers are already out there.
After waiting since june for root to be achieved, I figure another day or two won't kill me..
Sorry all the Mac bashers feel the need to take potshots at me; I used win doze for almost 20 years until I came to my senses..
This really has nothing to do with the EVO3D, but since this is my "home-base" forum, I decided to throw this up here:
http://goo.gl/CQ0vb
This is actually really, really huge....
Think of all the possibilities that exist... (Buy an old, crummy windows tablet that never made it commercially? Run all your android apps on that big-assed screen.)
Have an old laptop laying around that you never use? Load it up with whatever apps you want and throw them up onto the side of your house with a projector!
A lot of phones don't work with hdmi-out, but EVERY Windows laptop at least has VGA-out.....
Someone else possibly suggest a creative way to use this? (I think this is bigger news than people may initially realize.)

Tried on a Windows 2008R2 machine and a windows 7 machine (both x64) and both of them are screwed up after the install. The HD service will not start all of the way and actually blocks all network traffic on both machines. Tried to uninstall and it would just freeze during uninstall. Had to disable the services just get back online. Remember peeps, this is a Alpha build and you could run into issues like this.

umm... HD2 = a windows phone. android was ported to it.
as for windows phone to android i dont think anyones tried or tried very hard.
try launcher7 gives you the look and feel of a windows phone and runs nice
Wp7 has some strict hardware requirements... the note breaks almost all of them

Impossible no. But it is not going to happen. HD2 was a microsoft windows phone to start. The Note isn't. If you want a windows phone then buy a windows phone. I am sure a mod will have this thread closed very shortly like all the past threads.
damn that sucks i want my note screen with windows phone 7 guess that dream wont come true -_-
Did you read the post about trying win7 launcher
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Wow. Where to start. Hrmm... Okay:
The HD2 originally came with windows mobile installed. Due to the (at the time) awesome hardware specs and large screen, everyone wanted it. After a week, we all realized how horrible windows mobile was and started experimenting with getting Android to boot. For an entire year we were copying Android versions over to our SD cards and booting from there. Around Christmas, we finally got the bootloader unlocked and we had a great phone. It wasn't much longer before Ubuntu was also running and once Win7 came out, folks had that booting too. All of this was in answer to one problem: windows mobile sucked.
Our Notes do not suck. Even the "stock" version of Android that ships with the phone is better than anything Microsoft has come up with so far.
So, no, I don't think anyone is concerned with getting another OS to boot on the Note.
On my Note via xda app.
Windows Mobile 6.5 is different than Windows Phone 7. I often miss some of the things Windows Mobile used to offer. NRGZ28 made a killer Rom for the HD2. I also loved the level of customization and the ease of applying things via .cab. It used a lot of desktop computer features as well. We're only recently reaching that level of nuance in Android as far as that stuff goes. The problem with Windows Phone 7 however is that all these good things died, and thus so did the true pocket PC.
Android has come such a long way and our devices are beautiful and versatile now. Who would ever want to run anything different at this point?
Just for reference, I posted some screenshots of my old Windows 6.5 HD2.
Not sure why I felt like doing this, but it made me remember those times
Never gonna happen.....
but it would be cool....for about 10 minutes.....LOL......g
Ahh yes I remember the good old days on my tilt2. Good times. Gotta love triple booting
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Windows Mobile 6.5 far from sucked. I still have my Telstra HD2 and it has an NRG ROM too. There were many things you could do on it that you still can't with android. The problem was not the OS but the lack of quality and compatible apps and the ending of support from microsoft.
Windows phone was microsoft's attempt to go after iphone. They locked it up very well just like the iphone OS. But unfortunately that takes away from customization and apps also. Reliable but boring for most. I'm just afraid android is going down the same path as microsoft once did. Too many phone variations and incompatible, crappy, and harmful apps.
Soooo.... Merry Christmas & happy holidays. What I REALLY want for Christmas is an s-off for Windows 8 or Windows 7 x64. :fingers-crossed: What surprises would you like for your Evo LTE this holiday season?

Unfortunately I'm on Hboot 1.15 and I just upgrade my Win 7 x86 to Win 8 x64 a couple of weeks ago. Other PC is Win 7 x64. I've heard that LP and DR work on Win 7 x64 but I don't want to mess it up and not be able to get help from Team Unlimited because I didn't follow instructions.
I tried an Ubuntu 12.10 Live Disc but can't seem to figure out where the terminal or other apps are hidden, and I don't want to do a full install alongside Windows just to unlock one phone. The install dialog for installing Ubuntu alongside Windows really suck BTW. It will only allow me to install on my external drive, even though it sees all my drives, and it doesn't tell you which part of the partitions it's making are for Ubuntu and what is for everything else. It just has a slider with a number on each side, nothing to tell you which side is going to be which partition.
Anywho, I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that the awesome devs here on XDA are hard at work trying to create an s-off for the not quite so advanced (but not completely useless) users.

I can do it. I would just like to be able to do it without all the extra effort. As in, I'd like to be able to do it on Win 8 or Win 7 x64 and have it be supported by the devs.
Unless you mean that you can get terminal running on Ubuntu Live Disc. In that case, I'm sure I can do that too, I just got frustrated and didn't feel like busting out the Google-fu until I had actually gotten my phone activated. That's a whole different story involving Sprint, AmazonWireless.com, and the need to have a third phone to upgrade my new phone. Pain in the A, let me tell you. Finally got it activated today, so now I'm ready to start the Linux DirtyRacun process. I just don't want to. :crying:
Still, so there's no misunderstanding, I am very grateful to Team Unlimited for their dev work on this phone.
Now I have to figure out what I'm going to flash first, the Viper 4G rom or P.A.C. man. I love everything LOTK did for the OG Evo, but Viper looks so slick. Decisions, decisions.
What I really really want is PDroid working on this device.
I hate having to give apps the ability to read my contacts when I don't want to, but I still need to use the app.
PDroid lets you block this kind of stuff, without crashing the apps. How do we get it on here, or, better yet, built into a build like MeanBean etc. ?

I know you don't wanna do it on Win7 x64 because it's not supported, but it should work just fine. Like many others, I ran DirtyRacun on 2 devices (mine and my brother's) without any problems whatsoever.

Ok. I'll try it. I just dug out my old semi corrupted Win 7 x86 drive to see if out would boot properly, but I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of putting that in my new PC. I was thinking that it was that or Ubuntu, and better the evil you know than the one you don't. I haven't used Ubuntu in a couple years and Unity is completely different than the old gnome environment. I'm sure it's an improvement, but I didn't want to learn it all over again just to flash one phone.

I actually went to the trouble of unplugging all my drives, plugging in an older one, installing Win7 32-bit on it, just to run Dirty Racun (which worked fine once I dug up a 16GB MicroSD - 32GB really doesn't work).
The install is very entertaining BTW.

Please, someone help me out. Every video I've watched was posted almost a year ago.
I'm running Android 4.3 - and drivers aren't working on Windows 8.1.
Thank you so much to anyone that helps.
Most of the guide here will work but not on a vm type. It has to be native. Either duel boot microsoft(witch most of the tools and guidance are built from because of majority rules) or find a pc. Friend or family and start there.
