Hey everyone! I'm so excited about rooting my EVO 3D! The problem is that I'm on a Mac. Is there any way at all that I can root my HTC EVO 3D and gain S-Off? Thanks!
Could i get some answers here...
You can't.
Install a Virtual Machine of Linux or Windows

I would try wine first here is a tut on how to install/use it
google wine on mac and it will give you some good tuts on it.
Wine is worth a shot. I can never get it to work. Virtualbox is a great VM.
thanks guys! so you think virtualbox is better?
Yah I run a hackintosh too but my work laptop is Linux.
My suggestion is to download VirtualBox and install a virtual copy of win or Linux. VirtualBox is free.

It really depends on you. I run Linux cuz I need Linux for work. But I personally prefer Linux over windows.

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.

Definitely not a hard process, and the newest tool I put out makes it super easy, but yes linux is still required at this time.

Or just be like everyone else with a mac and duel-boot linux/windows because you need a second OS at times.

boot camp is your friend ... make your friend get linux or windows on his mac :/ i bet they won't even know it's there for a while if you do it without telling them lol
I remember reading in the sensation forum that globatron I believe said there would be a Mac OS X s-off method. Not sure what happened to that though

i'm not sure i'd trust parallels for this. i considered it and decided to use the windows server in my basement and let someone else be the parallels guinea pig. i never bothed with boot camp. the touchpad drivers suck and make me angry.
Lol turns out he already had linux installed in a virtual box so the problem has been solved

Can someone recommend me a Linux distro of their choice? I'm going to start learning how to compile, and develop kernels. I already can allot the time to doing so, and I want to do so.
I have some in mind, but I want to know what you men, and women recommend.
I'd use Ubuntu. You can use it for compiling but also for daily normal things too so having to dual-boot isn't an issue.
Also, your avatar is the best I've seen. Hands down. No contest.

I am fairly proficient on the Windows side and also a total n00b at Linux, however since I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 x64 on one of my laptops, I am actually really beginning to enjoy it as a primary OS. Long story short, my vote goes to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu definitely. It is definitely the distro for people wanting to try out Linux.
There is also the ability to use VirtualBox to have a virtualized install of Windows as a way to have a "familiar environment" to work in. That's what I've done.

So from what I'm seeing, Ubuntu is the way to go. 11.04 would be the preferred version? My friend KQuicksall recommended that as well.

12.04 is solid on my end.

I switched to Ubuntu 2 years ago and haven't looked back. My kids and wife still use Windows, but my laptop and desktop both have Ubuntu installed. After 6 months I wiped windows from both. And remember google is your best friend.

Unless they updated the program then no,there is no Mac version. I have a Mac also, but was running windows 8 through bootcamp.
I wonder if you could use WINE to do it.....

I got it running but it says it needs drivers, I installed them, but it still needs drivers... I don't think it will properly bridge over USB
I did it in Parallels.
You can't actually do anything on a mac. Joke's on you.
Thats not true. Its a UNIX based OS so it so you can do a LOT of stuff with it

I did run into a strange issue where I had to manually
eboot to bootloader and fastboot & issue the commands. I'm first to experience that problem. Other than that it worked great.

I also had to upgrade supersu to pro version. For some reason it wouldn't grant root to adb trying the sipercid commands.

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 was in the same position, just ended up borrowing a friend's macbook. Going S-Off on Linux is mockingly easy.
Try hopping on a friend's macbook for an hour or so?
Or Google Ubuntu live cd or usb.

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.

Or use Windows. Lol. It was doable in the past and it still is. Well, last I checked, about a month ago.

They dropped windows support, so unless he can find an older version, live cd it is.

Burn a LiveCD
Sent from "The One"
A 32 bit or i386 Os will work on a x64 system. However you can install x64 Ubuntu and just install all the dependencies required using the i386 flag on apt-get
Edit: I recommend just getting the 32bit live cd or usb

They say live usb interferes with usb connection at times. Better to play it safe like big daddy said. Live CD is easy, I use img burn to burn the iso.
