sorry dude, you're going to have to use the unlimited.io method, that's the only option you have right now. are you still unable to burn the linux cd?

I'm having the same issue. However, I've tried making 3 Live CD's not for Unbuntu 12.04 and it tells me every time that I have a corrupt or damaged kernel, and cannot start the disc. Is there any way I can get a copy of the Windows DirtyRacun before they decided to remove it?
Edit: Nevermind, I was able to create a 32-bit Live CD and going through the process now.

I'm sorry Embargho101, I don't quite understand where you're stuck. I'm happy to help. There are ISO burning instructions in post 3 (as well as instructions for doing the downgrade). You'll reboot your computer with the CD in your drive. This should boot up into the CD instead of Windows. If it doesn't, you may have to change the boot device or boot order on your computer. Typically, mashing down F12 while the computer is booting will bring up the boot menu. From there, you can select to boot from the CD-ROM drive. It does very from computer to computer though.

That's one of my major reasons for S-OFF. Flashing ROMs requires no extra magic on the to make it work. I can restore NANDroid backups from anywhere (Especially nice when Boot Manager doesn't like moving back to a ROM in another slot). You have the ability to flash radios. Oh, and also, if you haven't already unlocked your bootloader using HTC's method, they won't know that you unlocked.
Just for the sheer convenience of being able to flash ROMs without anything extra, it's worth it.

You need to boot into the CD. Before you boot into Windows, it'll give you the option to boot from another drive (on my desktop it's ESC, and on my laptop it's F12).

I haven't heard of any issues with the rev unless you try it on a hboot above 1.5. 1.5 andlower should go over just fine as it has every time I have done it which must be about thirty times now. So idk . . .
So all I've done is rooted my phone for wifi tether, but I'm ready to flash CM10 for a fresh experience. I am on Hboot 2.09 and the latest 3.16 software so I know CM10 won't work properly with obtaining s-off. I want to know if there is a good step by step video that will get me s-off for my exact set up for windows 7 64 bit? I am deathly afraid of bricking my phone. All the videos I've found out there are for the older software versions. Help anyone?

supercid is the first step just folow the instructions it should be easy, you have to have supercid to do the Facepalm S-off method, I've never used it but by reading the instructions it seems to be easier that dirty racun, give it a try there is always somebody that can help you if you run into trouble...

hey i just wanted to save you some trouble - i just obtained S-OFF on my phone yesterday. like you, i was on hboot 2.09 and the latest 3.16 software.
facepalm S-OFF method will not work for you.
i'm not entirely sure about the reason, but i believe it has to do with the 3.16 software, which prevents you from changing the CID on the device (any attempt forces the phone to reboot). unfortunately, that means the first three lines of facepalm's method (giving you superCID) won't work, and thus the rest of it won't work either. i tried several methods of getting superCID on 3.16 before finally giving up.
unfortunately, that means you have to use dirtyracun / babyracun to downgrade in order to get S-OFF.
it's a bit more work, especially for me since i had to find a computer with a CD writer, burn a linux cd, and then use the same computer to boot into linux since mine doesn't even have a CD drive. but the instructions are easy enough to follow once you boot into linux.
sorry for the hassle, lmk if i can help with anything.

Okay so I burned the Live CD and am ready to go, but the the dirty racoon instructions on the website are far from simple, not to mention Linux is like Japanese to me. Yes I would greatly appreciate some help so I don't brick my phone. I use my phone for work so its even more imperative that I can use my phone after this process. Can you help with the first few steps? Thanks.

sure, i'd be more than happy to help. i followed the instructions step by step and nothing happened to my phone. linux feels a little foreign at first, but ubuntu is pretty user-friendly - and besides, there's a lot of people here to help you out.
again, before you start:
1) make sure you have a microSD card in your phone
2) make sure it's charged close to full
after you boot into linux:
1) first open firefox on the left side, and load up this webpage so you can post with any questions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41873127#post41873127
2) download dirty racun from the unlimited.io page:
http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm
3) then go into the file folder and create a new folder inside your Downloads folder named DirtyRacun (make sure it's the Linux Downloads folder, you'll know it's the right one if you see the the RabiesShot_LINUX.tgz file.
let me know when you've gotten that far

Cool. But I am unable to run the command that is required by unlimited.IO.
sorry for the late response. i was getting lunch.
if you extracted dirtyracun into the downloads folder properly, the following commands should work for you.
1) launch terminal (click the ubuntu button, type "terminal" without quotes)
2) type "cd Downloads" (again without quotes)
3) type "cd DirtyRacun"
4) type "chmod 755 RabiesShot adb fastboot"
how far can you get?
I saved and extracted into the dirtyracun folder and after the last command, I get nothing
I already unlocked my phone but S-ON is still active. I looked into the dirtyraccun method but it mentions to not flash a custom recovery. I already have TRWM and Viper Rom installed. What would be the best method for getting S-Off? I have the latest firmware.

Make sure you have the latest HTC driver installed. Use a USB 2.0 port, make sure that HTC Sync is not installed on your computer, and that your computer antivirus is off.
You can get the latest driver in the link below. Use the HTC driver from post #2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179776
Also, it may take a few attempts before Moonshine is successful. On the phone I recently Moonshined, it took a few tries before it succeeded, and I had everything set up correctly.

I've been running into the same issues! It keeps getting stuck on the second step! I've been following all your suggestions you posted in my other thread as well. At least it got me to the second step in Moonshine.
All HTC drivers were removed and the new ones were reinstalled. Computer and phone rebooted, USB 2.0 port, etc... I even went to another PC and ran into the same problems. I'll try it some more since you said it took a few tries.
Edit: Now it won't establish a connection to complete the first step in fastboot even though the PC keeps making sounds when fastboot USB gets turned on

You have to use a live CD with Dirty Racun if you are running Windows. To answer your second question, no, you can't use terminal emulator on your phone, either. Please be careful with what you're doing, otherwise you risk having an expensive paperweight in your hand. Personally I would have gone the Moonshine route It's Windows friendly and you don't have to fool with any commands, other then checking device connection with ADB & fastboot.

Yeah I know. I'm being really careful with everything - reading up before I do ANYTHING. I've done this to several phones before, but never had this much trouble...
Do you know if it's possible to still use Moonshine at this point? I've gone through every single step for DirtyRacun except for #14 which is to run RabiesShot. I have the RUU for 3.15 HBOOT 2.09 installed and running fine right now. If I can use Moonshine (and actually get it to connect to the device now), I would rather do that.

Make sure you're doing a full system wipe in recovery prior to flashing the ROM. You also might want to try opening a command prompt in your ADB tools folder while in the bootloader and type the command "fastboot erase cache" (minus quotation marks) and hit enter. Make sure you're connected via fastboot USB first.

Okay so I have been trying to root and I have tried everything I can find.
I have a fully upgraded phone so Revolutionary won't work for me out of the box and so I am trying to HTCDev unlock.
The problem though, is that I can't get Windows 8.1 to recognize my device. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times trying to get it to work. ADB works fine and can see the Thunderbolt but fastboot will not.
Nothing I have found has changed anything.
I also have a laptop with Ubuntu, would that work better?
You need to do it from a Windows 7 or lower computer. In order for the bolt to be seen in fastboot on Windows 8 it would require an update to the fastboot drivers on the phone which is very very unlikely.

Would trying it in Ubuntu work? Although almost all the tutorials seem to assume you are doing it through Windows.

Yes it should. Although, to unlock, s off and root ics on the bolt revolutionary isn't going to work straight up. You will have to downgrade the hboot version in order to be fully unlocked.

The tutorial I am following is leading me through unlocking with HTCdev, and installing SuperUser, would I still have to downgrade and use Revolutionary?
Sorry, complete newb.

Before you continue with the tutorials can you verify what android version you have for me?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk
Android version 4.0.4
HTC Sense 3.6
hboot 1.08
If any of that helps.

That is exactly what I needed to know. You need to go to infectedrom.com and use the guide that is there to unlock and s off. The problem with what you posted earlier is that even if you unlock with HTCdev your hboot is going to prevent revolutionary from working. You have to downgrade your hboot in order to use Revolutionary.

Can you give me a direct link? Because the one I was using last night from InfectedROM was just walking me through the htcdev unlock.
Edit: I found it...seems it has me load different things from the other one I was following.
It's the Lt. Belspur post. But I finally got fastboot to work! So it's looking promising. Thank you very much.

I see where you're stuck now. You can do it in Ubuntu but you may get stuck at some point. I would definitely recommend doing it using Windows 7.

Wrong forum. You should ask in the Kindle fire forums because I haven't owned one or even handled one in person for that matter. It might would help if you were on newer than xp. Vista at least. Idk though

Edit: I missed your other post, but that is exactly the tutorial I've been following. I'm near the end...see the following problem. :/
Okay, so I'm almost to the end...I'm to the point of putting the .19 ROM on my sd card and loading it into hboot.
What happens is that it recognizes it, loads it, checks it, and then goes back to hboot.
The suggestions from the post I am following say to try reformatting the SD card, or a different image. I have done both. Any other suggestions?
And by the way, thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Make sure you don't have the file named PG05IMG.zip.zip
Windows, by default, hides well known file extensions, so it may have gotten zip attached to it twice, one of which is not visible.
So remove the visible ".zip" extension and try again...

Done. Still the same result. Goes through loading the file, checking the file, and then just back to hboot.
I'm having the same issue. Does anyone have a GOOD copy of this Zip?
So I tried flashing MIUI and ended up in a bootloop. I relocked the phone to use RUU but I kept getting an error that I was using the wrong one Finally found what appears to be the correct one but my battery got too low to complete the process.Right now I'm using a script I found that keeps rebooting the bootloader so it slowly charges the battery. I also tried putting PG86IMG.zip into the root of the SD card and while it finds it it does not ask me to update just hangs in "Checking PG86IMG.zip" and then returns to the first screen. I've been at this for days now and any help would greatly be appreciated.
Backround:Evo 3D. Sprint. Relocked. s-on. hboot 1.58

i would recommend re-downloading and double checking to ensure the PG86IMG.zip is the right one and is a healthy file. might not fix it but definitely the easiest place to start.

That user was having similar problems but hes on VM so I dont know if I need a diffrent PG86IMG.zip.
I have no idea where else to get one.

Make your own ....
Make sure you have the correct ruu for windows
Dont connect your phone
Start the .exe and let it open up
Then go to run and type %temp%
Find the newest folder and open it
Find rom.zip and rename that to PG86IMG.zip
Put it on your sd and make sure It's the only one
Good luck

virginmobile uses cdma-shooter
sprint uses gsm-shooteru
so perhaps thats where your problems is . i would recommend you try the gsm section.

"sprint" does not mean gsm....
If you flash gsm stuff to your cdma, you are just asking for headaches..
Does your phone require a sim card?
If yes = gsm
If no = cdma

No my phone does not require a sim card and im on Sprint . I did not flash any gsm stuff.
So so far im still waiting for the battery to get high enough to be able to try what i think the correct ruu is.
so the RUU i was trying to use was 2.89 and i need 2.95 which I've looked for but cannot seem to find. Is there anything else i can do since ive been at this for a week now . Would reunlocking and flashing a recovery do anything? thanks for all the help so far guys.
Edit: now im trying to reunlock but when i try to get the devices serial number i keep getting "list of devices attached" and nothing else. anyone?
There is no ruu for 2.95
You will need s off first then you can run an older ruu
So yes you need to unlock and get s off

So since im trying to get the serial number to reunlock would you happen to know how to fix the fact that i only keep getting "list of devices attached" when i type adb devices?
Edit: so i managed to unlock my bootloader with my original unlock code from months ago and now i can enter recovery. I still get a bootloop unless i enter bootloader first. So do i need to get s off and use an old ruu or could an old nandroid do the work?
Edit again: so I was watching a video on getting s off and it looks like i have to be able to accept super user permissions which i cannot do since im stuck in a bootloop.
Flash a stock based rom, sense ICS
Then take the boot.IMG from the ROM.zip and place it in your SDK folder
Then boot your phone to fastboot
Then in command prompt enter
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Reboot your phone and you should be good
