I'm going to assume there's no way to try from a Windows PC? There's no good reason for it not to work from Ubuntu because that's how I originally unlocked and rooted my phone but just throwing it out there as an option. I can't really think of anything else other than trying to get an exchange(if you can)from Verizon.
Hey Mr Smith,
Thanks again for your response.
Unfortunately, at this time it's not possible for me to try things with a Windows PC.
Like you, I've unlocked and rooted this device using Ubuntu. Several times. I'm having a difficult time believing that is the os. I'm using an up to date version of the sdk as well. :-(
I cannot think of any reason to wait any longer to flash the global ruu. Maybe the updated hboot will remove the restriction I've placed on myself...
Cheers,
John
