Hi, I also have a question about rooting. I just got a brand new evo yesterday with the 003 hardware, hboot 2.02, and 3.30 Software. I know on XDA they already rooted with this [TOOL][ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02 S-OFF - Updated 11/18/10 - xda-developers. But I'm new to rooting and have been reading a lot lately to learn before trying to do it. One thing I dont quite get, to type those command prompts, do I need to install anything like ADB (android SDK or something else) or just need to download that folder and put it on C: and those commands will work?

I'm talking about commands like this...this is the step 3 of that XDA thread solution
