I have a laptop w/ Vista that has never been connected to my phone. I connected the phone, and it failed to see it. It looked for drivers, but failed. Only thing I could do was Charge or Disk Drive. Went into the disk drive and copied the HTC Sync file and installed it.
After it was done, I unplugged the phone, reconnected it w/ HTC Sync.
Then I downloaded the evo-recovery.zip, open the run command and typed "c:\evo-recovery\adb-windows reboot recovery".
Worked fine. Then I typed "c:\evo-recovery\recovery-windows.bat" and went right into recovery mode.
Never needed the sdk."

Dont need the HTC Sync part. Just charge only will work. Just tested it on my device.

Worth a shot.

EDIT: I meant you dont need HTC Sync to be running, still grab and install the files as Fast said.
Thanks. It was the drivers that was causing the problems. I already had HTC Sync installed before my problem. So, I just looked on XDA for the right drivers, and now I'm good to go.
