Need some help guys Root related

Before I get bashed for not SEARCHING, I did! There are so many different thread and almost every thread contradict the other methods or has alot of opinions and not fact!

Sites: PPCGEEKS, XDA, ANDROIDCENTRAL

Background:
Phone: EVO
s/w:3.29.651.5 Froyo
Base: 2.15.00.09.01
Hardware: 003

Method: Unrevoked 2.3
[GUIDE] One Click How to Root EVO with Unrevoked 3.21 *NEW EVO'S WONT WORK 11.16.10* - xda-developers
have hboot 0.97.00000 (don't know what is hboot?)

Current phone rebooted to
"unrevoked to root my EVO. Everything seems to be okay except on final boot into recovery, I get the normal installing info and then this:
unrevoked forever S-Off patch v1.1
verifying system type
E: unsupported radio version
E: update failed. Check /sdcard/soff.log.
E: error in /data/local/unrevoked-forever.zip
(status 42)
Installation aborted.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. please open ROM manager to report the issue.

Help, what should I do?


Edit: I am rooted. I have superuser app, but in Hboot it still shows S-On. I also checked and I have the most current radio version."

No now I know I am rooted cause the Super user app is there and I am able to use WIFI THETHER.

Questions:
1) how to I unroot if i have to bring the phone back to sprint? (most important question)
2)where am I along the process of rooting? what can i now do with my phone?
3)how to apply a rom?
4)what is the recovery menu? clockworkmod recover v2.5.0.1 (i get here by selecting recover menu when i boot up the phone)
5) am i missing any important steps?


Again please don't bash me, if you can help I appreciate it all.
