Isn't the Linux file just an sh file? So couldn't you just rename revolutionary to revolutionary.sh and then from Terminal do sh revolutionary.sh?
Worst case scenario, why don't you try using a VM?
I ended up just using my neighbors computer since i could not do it on my brother's iMac. I just told him I needed to do something important and check my email. Took less than 15 haha.
The easiest way is to borrow someone's Windows machine for a while or use a Ubuntu Live CD(or any other Linux Live CD). There is no Mac support for revolutionary and if I remember right, I believe they said there will never be. Maybe someone from Unrevoked will make a Mac version down the road, but right now it is not possible and you will have to find someone willing to let you borrow their Windows machine or download and burn a Linux Live cd and boot from it.
Alright cool.. Thanks guys. I guess ill have to steal my parents W7 laptop. LOL

ADB is just a binary file, you open terminal in same directory as adb ./adb shell
I keep the binary file on my desktop, then just right click desktop select open terminal here, then type ./adb shell

This is what I used a while back to get me up and running on my Ubuntu setup when I was using the Evo4g. I was new to Ubuntu at the time, so this guide was very helpful for me. Step 6 is important, because setting ADB in the PATH will allow you to execute adb commands from any directory. You won't need to cd to the directory where your adb drivers are (most likely the platform-tools folder)
http://imransarwar.com/index.php/how-to-install-adb-on-ubuntu-step-by-step-guide/
Here is another guide written by MisFit for ADB on Ubuntu. I'm not sur which flavor of Linux you're running, but if it's Ubuntu these tutorials should be helpful to you. After I started using the Evo3d, I had to do something very similar to this guide. ADB always worked fine with my Evo4g on Ubuntu, but when I started using the Evo3d, I would get "no permissions ?????????" or something to that nature. Following this guide should fix that. Good luck getting it going, shouldn't be too bad.

Understood. And yup, I know I'm a noob at Ubuntu and other Linux based stuff. I used Windows my entire life until a few months ago, so I'm learning it slowly. Surely one day I'll also be building my own Linux systems.
I have just used EasyBCD to try and restore the Windows boot loader before I attempted to uninstall Ubuntu (wubi) from my Windows 7 PC.
I was following the instructions by Jeffry Thurana in the article The Non-Geek’s Guide To Safely Uninstall Ubuntu From A Dual-Booting Machine Unfortunately, when I tried to reboot, Windows failed to start and gave the following details:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: The windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.
Any suggestions how I can get back into Windows and also to be able to boot directly into Windows?
I did my research and all leads to acquiring the Windows Recovery which wasn't included when i purchased the PC.
Does anyone (TRUSTWORTHY) have an iso they can share with me?
Wait. When you install ubuntu thru wubi, all you need to do is install wubi and run it. It installs linux as a dualboot so when you restart, you choose windows or linux.
Edit: When uninstalling, all you would do is go into programs on win7 and uninstall wubi. It would wipe linux off for you. Why mess with the bootloader?!?! Also, im pretty sure thepiratebay.org has what you need.

I was using ubuntu on my PC but i had installed it by making an 18GB partition. I dug up an old laptop and fixed it, installed ubuntu as the native OS and decided to keep my PC for work and school. I couldn't uninistall from Control Panel so i used the uninstaller that ubuntu offers and it uninstalled but the partition remained. That's when i googled how to remove it and stumbled on the article on "SAFELY" removing it. Now i'm pretty screwed unless i get my hands on a recovery disc.

Do you still have the windows cd? You can get to command prompt from setup. There are a few commands you can run there like fixboot, fixmbr, bcdedit, and bootrec /rebuildbcd.
The first two may be legacy commands, so you may only need the last two.

I thought it was a bad download too but I had a friend make me an iso and it wouldn't burn either. I used K3B and the already provided burner and it wouldn't get past 75 %.

First thing first is that all Win7 ISO should be burned using a DVD burner. Try looking for an ISO which matches the version of Win7 you have and use the command prompt recovery to execute the commands which were stated earlier in the thread. That is the only way to repair the windows 7 boot loader.
Next time you face something like this and you have Linux in a separate partition the easy way to uninstall is buy using the recovery command prompt from the DVD and then just deleting the partition from device manager's disk utility.

Good news! I'm got back control of my PC. Just incase anyone stumbles on a situation like this, here is what I did.
My laptop had Ubuntu as the only OS. I reinstalled Windows, then ran Ubuntu Live CD. Downloaded the ISO and dragged it into the Windows side of the HDD. Switched back to Windows, burned the image with DeepBurner and viola! My PC is back in business.
Now I have 3 copies of the System Repair disc made as soon as my PC booted up.
Thanks again for all input. Although it's nothing related to the Evo 3D I'm grateful to those that didn't take that into account.

In the future, anyone who encounters a similar problem should be aware that there is no need to wipe your windows 7 install and start over. Install a separate copy of windows (xp or 7 will work; xp install disks are smaller) into a free partition/drive, and run easyBCD from there. Then use it to install BCD onto the windows 7 partition you desire to keep, and write the MBR, simple as that.
If you don't have a free partition use a GParted live disk to shrink a partition. You only need 10GB to get it done.
You could also try to run it from a Windows installed on a USB drive, such PE, but I can't vouch for that.
If you're unsure if a disc image is good. Boot it in virtualbox from a linux install.
Finally, if you move the start of an NTFS partition, you need to install BCD after the move. My guess is that is where you went wrong here (either that or you selected the wrong partition for the boot entry you created).

Go to the boot menu, select the boot priority and here change the boot order--set your system's primary hard drive as the primary boot device.
reboot with your windows installation disk in.
format or delete the partition from the select partition dialogue.
reboot/ continue to install windows.
this will solve your problem.

Yeah, basically, or virtual machine. You need ODIN to root, and there's no ODIN for mac as far as I know. I just booted into windows in boot camp on my laptop.
I did set up a Windows 7 Virtual Machine using VMware on the mac mini in my office, and it worked fine to flash via ODIN as well, so that's also an option if you don't want to actually make a windows partition.

So since beaups has announced that s-off for 2.06 will be for Linux only, a lot of people are preparing by either trying to set up a Linux partition or Live DVD/USB. I just thought I'd make a thread for general info and help getting it working properly. I'm not going to go super in-depth with this because there's a plethora of information online this is more just for some tips to get you started.
Disclaimer: Make sure your computer is backed up before doing this. You shouldn't run into any problems that will screw it up, but you never know what could happen. Better safe then sorry, right? If your computer explodes, it's not my fault.
Some general info about LInux
Essentially, Linux is just a kernel. Android is based off the Linux kernel, and your cable box, router, and most web servers probably are as well... And a lot of other things you might not think of.
Desktop Linux has what are called distrinutions. These are basically the equivalent of Android ROMs, just operating systems based on Linux. If you are just starting out, you probably want to use Ubuntu or Linux Mint as they are the most user-friendly.
Making the Live DVD/USB
-First you obviously need the iso. Here is a link to the Ubuntu download: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
-Unless you have a computer that doesn't support 64-bit, just get the 64-bit download. If you have a UEFI-based computer, you definitely want the 64-bit iso because it's UEFI native, which will make things easier, and you will also want to read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
-If you're trying to boot the Live DVD on a Mac, you also want the 64-bit iso, and you need rEFIt: http://refit.sourceforge.net/
-If you just want to boot from the DVD, you can burn it with pretty much any DVD burning software. If you want to make a live USB, use unetbootin: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ or Pendrive Linux: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/usb-creator/
Installation
-If you only plan on using Linux once to s-off your phone, you don't really need to do this, just use the Live DVD.
-If you haven't already, you probably want to hook up an ethernet cable to your computer in case the wireless drivers aren't available.
-If you actually want to install it on a PC, it's pretty straightforward, just use the "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" option, unless you want to partition it manually with the "Something else" option (I won't go into that here).
-If you want to install it on a Mac, you will need rEFIt, which I already mentioned. You also need to add a fat32 partition to your drive that you will reformat to ext4 with the Ubuntu installer. Install rEFIt, reboot twice and then you should see the rEFIt boot menu where you can choose your live disc. One very important thing about this: If you are installing Linux to the same drive as an OS X installation, DO NOT choose the "install alongside" option. It will break your install. Use the "Something else" option. By default, Linux wants to install grub to the MBR, but you need to reformat your fat32 partition to ext4 instead and install it to that partition. Then you can just boot into it with rEFIt. The rest is pretty much the same as installing it on a PC.
Post-install
-At this point, it's going to want to install some updates and maybe some proprietary drivers it may need and that's it. Really all you need to do after this is install the android drivers. The easiest way is to use apt-get which is basically a package installer for everything in Ubuntu's software repos. Open up Terminal, and type in: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot. Hit enter, type in your password, then it will ask you to confirm and blah blah blah and then it will download and install it. That's really it. I don't know what else may be necessary at this point since the s-off tool hasn't been released yet.

Yes windows will still start up and linux will still start up from my usb. Im actually on linux through my liveusb now. I downloaded the 64bit linux since my laptop came pre downloaded with a 64 bit windows 8. ALso it is a UEFI. I have secure boot disabled as well. I just am confused as to why it runs fine from my usb. But wont run when its installed to my computer.
Using Android Tools on Ubuntu 12.04
Native Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a bootable memory stick needs also to reference the repository that the tools are located.
Once you have booted into Linux, then execute the following commands from a terminal window
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update

I didn't see anything about Linux only in the new moonshine thread. Is this still necessary?
If the other guy is like me rooting a phone is the absolute limit of our technical abilities. Now I have to learn to change things on my desktop? I'm grateful, but I'd rather pay for a windows version than go messing around with my desktop. I guess I'll try to learn what livecd is now.
@EvolutionXJ something just occurred to me. Since your PC more than likely has GPT instead of MBR, you may need to use gptsync to sync the partition tables. To so this, boot into your live disc, open the terminal, and type sudo apt-get install gptsync. After it installs, do sudo gptsync /dev/sda. I had an issue similar to yours trying to triple boot my netbook and that was the solution. Let me know if you get stuck again.
Also are you using windows boot manager to boot Linux or are you using GRUB (it might be lilo in the case of uefi)

Forget the gptsync thing, I don't think that's the issue. Don't think you would need to do that with a uefi pc
