[Q] Still can't unlock bootloader/root evo 3d

I have a sprint htc evo 3d and have tried everything possible to unlock this damn thing. I'm on windows 8.1 which i think can be part of the issue but have tried it in ubuntu 14.10 on a vmware image.(detects the phone as a device).Have htc sync installed with the drivers etc etc.The main issue seems to be it can't find the driver when i put it into the 'bootloader mode' and set it to fastboot. Unknown driver says 'My HTC' with these hardware id's:



USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0FF0&REV_0100

USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0FF0



I have tried every driver possible i could find, including disabling whatever the driver verification in windows 8.1 and adding those id's to a .inf file that was supposed to work.Nothing happens.The phone has ICS and the bootloader comes up with this:



shooter xc ship s-on RL

hboot-1.58.0000



Have tried the htc dev site to unlock it but end up with the same issue. Tried 2 different cables,but nothing.



I have no clue what to try at this point. Is it me or does windows 8.1 really hate the HTC evo 3d? Idk what else to try but maybe someone here has an idea what to do next.thanks
