!!!2 THOSE WITH ISSUES ON ROOTING THE EVO DUE TO CMD WINDOW CLOSING ON YOU!!!

This is an issue most prevelent on Vista and Win7... I had thesame issue and got stuck... luckily, with a little patience and trial and error, I was able to make it work.

1.) Download the files from post 1
2.) Follow steps 1-2B
3.) Jump to post #7 and begin at step #7
4.) At step #10, instead of running the batch file as admin, do the following:
4a.) Click on "START"
4b.) On the search bar type "CMD"
4c.) At the top of the column you will see the CMD.exe
4d.) Right click CMD.exe and run as ADMINISTRATOR
4e.) Type > "cd c:\evo-recovery" after the prompt
4f.) Type > "recovery-windows.bat" after the prompt
****Continue with step #11 through #20****

Voila!!! You have rooted your EVO!!!

PS... YOU NEED TO HAVE THE HTC SYNC INSTALLED FOR THE EVO. I AM NOT SURE IF YOU ALSO NEED THE "android-sdk_r06-windows" DEVELOPER TOOLS BUT IT DOES NOT HURT TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL. I found that without these, the phone will not communicate with the computer.

Hope this helps you guys. Im a n00b to android so I hope my instructions will helps other Android-Virgins out there. Just bought my EVO two days ago. I have only fooled with Android on my Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2...
