Go to Recovery.

From there, you should be in the menu you need to be, with Backup/Restore, Wipe, Flash Zip from SD Card, etc.

My personal phone is rooted and I'm reading the tutorial but can't get it to work on the new evo which does have the new 2.2 on it.

Thanks,

unplug your phone if it is plugged into your computer

You may have root, but you don't have your nand unlocked.

tjones, since your software is the 1.36 (according to your baseband), you can use the following "1 Click Simple root" method. Keep in mind this will wipe your phone, and you will need to reinstall all of your programs.

defaultnoob, not sure what software version you are on (home > menu > settings > about phone > software information. Look for your baseband. If you are 1.36, use the link above. If you are 1.47, use the method below.

After you run the simpleroot methods, you may want to go with WhitSlack's method of starting over. It contains all the latest (before the 2.2 upgrade) radios, etc.

You should now be able to get to the recovery menu, and flash the 2.2 roms from the devs.

My baseband is 1.39.00.05.31
software number 1.32.651.6

Your Buddy is going to have to wait.
There is no root process for Froyo yet.
