The only thing I see inside /app-cache/com.android.browser is webviewCache
So I can't run the cat /system/bin/rsync /system/bin/rsync /system/bin/rsync > foo command.

Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
Start that step over and try the fix again if you need to. If you cant apply the fix then I would suggest you try Simple Root 1.47

Since you started the process I'm not sure if you'll encounter errors with Simple root. If you do then try to flash a 1.47 RUU to "start over"

Now how to I get to 1.47 version so I can then move to a Custom 2.2?
Thanks
Yes. You need to get the 1.47 OTA files installed correctly. Check Post #1 of OMJ's thread and flash v1.7 ROM1
That will update you to the latest OTA and from there you'll be able to flash a Froyo ROM. I'd suggest one of his.

My firmware ver is 2.1-update 1
Baseband is 1.39.00.05.31
Kernel ver is htc-kernel@and18-2#1
Build # is 1.32.651.6 cl171253
Software # is 1.32.651.6
So you haven't rooted yet? How in the world did you JUST get an Evo and it's missing TWO updates? You are one lucky SOB
Just follow the steps in Post #2, starting with Step 1.

Can I still root my phone using the tutorials?? Which parts should I follow??

Thanks.
Good news=you have Froyo

Bad news=you cant root......yet.

No way to know when a root process for Froyo will be out. Enjoy your device while you wait.
