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

I am definitely using Revolutionary, but they offer it for Windows and Linux, that what I am up in the air about... which did you use? and what version of Windows or Linux did you use?
Also, I see you are running Infected... looks pretty sick and has good feedback...is that the first ROM you would suggest flashing?
Thanks
Worked fine on windows 7 64-bit for me.

Ok, I will give Win 7 64 bit a try.
One more question:
Does it matter if I root before I activate the phone?
I have rooted in past before activation, but this is my first 4g LTE phone, so not sure with the SIM card and all that.
Thanks
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
Hehe
Thanks for advice...very much appreciated

Just got the bolt from best buy mobile. I traded my Dinc2 for this. I only paid $2 for it with trade in. They updated the phone to android 2.3.4 , can I still root it with revo tool even though it has been updated.

Yes... On of the mods on the irc revolutionary Chanel verified that for me today. He said it will work on any Android version, but hboot needs to be 1.04 or 1.05

I rooted my wife's phone via Revolutionary on Gentoo (~amd64) a couple weeks ago. She was already at the latest OTA release. For the most part it worked fine. I did have to manually download and install ClockworkMod (somethng was hardcoded that broke on Gentoo). Overall it was a painless process.

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.

Ended up bricking my phone using Lazy Panda, and could not even get it to power on. It was taking too long to d/l Ubuntu, so, I decided that in the time it would take me to get it all going, I could jump over to BB and utilize my black tie protection and swap it out, lol. And now, a new Evo to play with. Guess I'll wait for a safer s-off method.

Windows? Mac? What were you using? Were you S-On or S-off? Unlocked by HTC or another method.
I was Htc unlocked, S-On and used lazy panda for Windows and had zero issues. Took all of about 8 mins and i was S-off. really simple.

Feed Panda with VM
I completed the s-off proceedure using an ubuntu vm in vmware on my Mac. If you are going to do this make sure you set the USB setting for the ubuntu vm to Always connect USB devices to it (the vm) instead of the host.
The only other thing that happened was after the panda was fed I started getting an error 16 when making phone calls and people could not call me. A quick call to Sprint, telling them after a hard reset I started getting the error they put me back on the network and everything is good.
One more bit of info, I tried to feed the panda on my old mac mini g4 that is running linux instead of OSX and received an expected ( error. Which points to not having the right libraries installed, 64 vs 32 but I think it has to do more with the processor architecture (g4 vs i386).
Just as the title states, New replacement phone..

Dirty Racun on Ubuntu Live Cd.
64bit is not supported because of driver issues. Some have succeeded with it but that's a gamble and you won't get support from unlimited.io team.
How do I get the live cd?

I used 12.04. Just make sure its the 32bit. Choose to donate or not. It should download an ISO. Just burn that with imgburn or your preferred burning program.

I achieved S-off couple of days ago with windows 7 and 64 bit. I had no problems at all.
There are well known driver issues with 64 bit which is why a 32 bit system is required.
Download any iso for linux live and burn to CD. Or run from Windows 8 which works as well but you should get 64bit working since it works for me. Try deleting, registry entries etc and reinstall the correct drivers. Hope that helps.

3.16 is currently not supported for s-off. And windows 8 is not supported. You'll probably have to use a live disc of ubuntu.

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.
