what Hboot do you have we have a few good tutorials over here to help with that but we need the HBoot
 
I can't seem to find a guide for rooting my new EVO 4G LTE using Windows 64bit.

This is the following un-rooted info on my phone:

*** LOCKED ***
JEWEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.15.0000
RADIO-1.05.11.0606
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot
Jun 18 2012, 17:05:37

Software version: 1.22.651.3 710RD
Hardware version: 0003
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense version: 4.0

Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!
 
The rooting for dummies guide is one of the first couple topics under everything root. Its a GREAT walk-thru for getting s-off and root. Works fantastic on windows 7 64bit. That's how I rooted both mine and my wife's phone.
If you have any issues, check back here, as there are some really great and very talented folks to help you out.

The [S-OFF] DirtyRacun S-OFF(HBOOT - 1.15 & 1.19) and the DirtyRacun S-OFF Public Beta (Unlimited.10) website says that it is only for Windows 32bit.

It's a 1 click root that automates the HTC dev process. It will unlock you and you will have s-on

Hmmm...sounds very interesting. Would this work with my current software versions? Where is the best place to find this method and instructions?

That *should* work for you then. Thats a lower version than listed.

Theres really no harm in trying, itll fail to unlock the bootloader if it wont work and you're in teh same place you are now

OMG...I feel so stupid, that number is lower. My wife and I just had our first child 4 weeks ago and I am working on very limited sleep!
 
If it doesn't work just try the HTC Dev method. And maybe DirtyRacun to get s-off. It's not very hard at all. And I've done it three times on a 64 bit version of Windows 7, minus the DirtyRacun part.
 
The s-off method depends in your hboot.

I believe they root you as well but if they don't all you have to do is install a custom recovery and flash the superuser file.

Chances are you'll want to flash a custom ROM at some point, and those are already prerooted

Boy the LTE rooting process looks like it may be a bit harder then the days of using unrEVOked to root my EVO 4G.
 
Its basically the same process for the user, they just recommend doing it in linux for the ltevo.

With that said, I used the windows version of lazy panda without a hitch

From what I gathered the lazy panda method wont work for me since I have a newer hboot version.

So it looks like what needs to be achieved is to get bootloader unlocked, get bootloader S-OFF, and to get a custom recovery installed so that I can get rooted. Does this sound correct?

If you go the S-OFF route (highly suggested), you dont need to unlock the bootloader. S-OFF gets around that.

If you are hboot 1.15 or above you'll need the racun method, which I'm not as familiar with.

I don't know if going S-OFF is what I need or not...I am just used to that on my old EVO 4G.
