Evo LTE Christmas list - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

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?

I want a haptic feedback vagina attachment for my Evo.

Lazy Panda works on Windows 7 64-bit (unofficially, anyhow). Not very helpful if you're not on Hboot 1.12 or don't have the LP file if you are, though If you're trying to run Dirty Racun, that's another story.

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.

just recovered from my harrowing flashing experience. my phone kept on soft bricking, forcing me to boot ubunto to recover it. it ended up being a messed up sd card.
for all those win 7/8 ers - just go with ubunto live cd, its the easiest way to get around the windows problems

Well I ran DirtyRacun on my Win 7 x64 machine and every appliance in my house simultaneously caught on fire. jk.
It actually worked just fine. I did have to flash the RUU twice but the instructions warn of that possibility. It took a really long time, but DirtyRacun says some really funny stuff while you're waiting so it was pretty entertaining.
imgrshpr, what OS were you using before you tried Ubuntu? Also, what's your Christmas wish for your Evo LTE?
Thanks to Team Unlimited for the s-off. And thanks to FinZ28 and Mexiking10 for the encouraging words.

I was running win7 x86 which shouldve worked, but my damaged sd card caused it to soft brick again and again and I got tired of switching between windows and Ubuntu so i ended up just doing everything in Ubuntu.
My Christmas wish - for all those who are listening - is for someone to produce a matte rubber back cover to replace this goddammed reflective monstrosity

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.

I want 4G LTE in Minnesota. I got a glimpse of it today while messing around with my EVO at the park. Explicitly of course. They must've been testing it or something because it only lasted 5 minutes and never came back. That was St. Paul, MN.

Yes. LTE is my Christmas wish, given that the pacific NW isn't even listed in the "upcoming" list last I looked. Why so much hate for the vast majority of the west coast, yet love for podunk towns where no one lives. ? :banghead: damn you, sprint.

I loved Wi-Max on my OG Evo here in Portland for the couple of months it actually worked before I upgraded to an ICS ROM. I know you already know this but, Sprint 3G is sooooo damn slow. I heard a rumor of LTE here starting in June. Cross your fingers.
Or not. Just found this http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...communities-including-louisiana-market-start/
You weren't kidding about the podunk towns. Geez.
