No biggie. When you did whitslacks method it should have given you a recovery image but apparently it didnt. Dunno why. (You may want to post a question in his thread)
Plug your phone in via USB.
Make sure it's set to Charge only and USB debugging.
Then go to the evo-recovery folder (if you didnt DL it before grab it from Post #1 here)
Open that folder and double click on the recovery-windows.bat file.
This will give you a temporary recovery image so you can flash the superuser file.
Once you are up and running on his rom DL ROM Manager from the Market if he doesnt include it in the ROM.
Once you run that you will see an option to flash Clockwork mod Recovery. That will give you a permanent recovery image. AFTER Clockwork is installed look at the bottom of the menu and you will have the option to flash an alternate Recovery, personally I would pick that one. It does a better job of wiping the device IMO.
EDIT:
From whitslack's Post #1
Fail-PU error
It seems some EVOs just don't want to take the Amon RA recovery. If you're running into the infamous "Fail-PU" error, try deleting the recovery image from the PC36IMG.zip and flashing again. Do note, if you currently have the stock recovery loaded, doing this will mean that you will be unable to install the su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip package to get root/superuser, as described above, until after you've flashed a custom recovery, which you can't do from within the system using flash_image unless you have root. The only way in that case is to use fastboot. If you're coming right from Toast's Part 2, then none of this should be a problem, since you'll already have a custom recovery, albeit an old and crusty one.
You should be fine to do it the way I told you. Let me know if you have any issues.
