I ran the recovery incase some how I rooted and didnt know I did? Now I get the triangle with the " !" in the middle when I hook it to my pc. hum
The PC36IMG.zip file is about 168mb. Not sure what you have downloaded.
The /!\ screen is the first part of the recovery section. If your PC36 file didn't work, you're not rooted so there is no point in going into the recovery screen.
Just pull the battery.
Make sure you get a good PM36IMG.zip file and make sure it's on the root of the storage card. BTW - I downgraded to stock a couple of hours ago. I put a smaller sdcard in and formated it. Then I copied the PC36IMG.zip file over to the card, tried to root, and also got a message that the 'image was wrong.' Tried several times and even took the file straight off my original card to the other smaller sdcard. Still got an error. Put the original 8gb card back in, and it worked. Did you by any chance change your card?

You should be fine. However, I have a question for you...
If you haven't started any of the process yet, and you're on a completely stock rom w/ the OTA, if you don't mind, I'd like to walk you through the entire process by phone/chat?

Rom manager has been pumping out updates faster than I can download them. I think they are fixing stuff, but when I downgrade to stock, I still have the same issue w/ Rom Manager. I have 2 Evo's and they have the same thing happen, but I think it's because I've already rooted, upgraded, and then downgraded. The only way to be sure is to find someone that has a completely stock rom.

If rom manager doesn't work, I can walk you through the manual method, which I think is very easy anyways.

If we can do this, I wouldn't be able to call you until about 6:30PM PST (7:30PM your time in Colorado) but at least you'd get personalized help rooting and flashing your phone.

i'm now in recovery mode but how do i run adp?
i downloaded the android sdk from here
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
extracted it to C:\androidSDK
i opened up a command prompt
directed it to C:\androidSDK\tools
and when i try type adp in the command prompt, i get a 'adp is not recognized as an internal or external command'
I don't know anything about androidSDK or using the adb commands. However, in your example you wrote "adp" which is a security company
Did you mis-type it on the pc too?
