-boot phone into bootloader, load new recovery with root and adb access provided by PC36IMG.zip (userdebug RUU).

-now run the EVO-recovery.zip created here on your local computer thru adb it will move over all the custom binaries required including a custom recovery binary and start it.

-now with the custom binaries loaded into recovery and a custom recovery binary itself (allows flashing of unsigned .zip files), you can select to flash a custom ROM.
