I just talked to ratman24 on the phone and got him squared away.

Here's what I had him do;

Power off the phone. Hold "Down Volume" while you power the phone back on.
The screen that appears will have a few options. Select "Recovery."
Then you should go to the screen w/ the EVO and the /!\ on it.
Connect the phone to your pc and run the "recovery-windows.bat" file. Step #8 from the recovery section of the 1st post.

Let me know if that works.

The bat file runs and then just disappears. My phone screen stays on the /!\ screen indefinitely. I had to take the battery out to get out of that screen.

EDIT:
I did install the OTA update. Do you think the OTA update kills the recovery?

I might be wrong here, but if you can get to the recovery screen, you're rooted. Which means the OTA shouldn't be affecting anything.

What normally happens when it recovers properly? My bat file runs, then disappears, and my phone just stays on the recovery screen...

^^me too^^

I am a bit leery of trying to install a custom until I get this squared away. Not a super big deal, phone is great as is, but someday I might get bored.

I'm stuck in the same spot, it just stays there. i open the file, it pops up for a second and goes away. and now when i turn my phone on, and try to sync the phone, it doesnt even try anymore, it didnt do this until i tried to get recovery working. i had no trouble with getting recovery to work on my hero :-\

[p-slim]

all you guys trying to get recovery working do understand this is not a sticky recovery (yet) Everytime you want to access recovery mode you will have to use adb to boot to recovery, then use that bat file once that red triangle pops up.

[imneveral0ne]

yeah, so i'd like to know that if i wanna do this, it will work.

after trying to get this recovery to work, my computer doesn't recognize my phone at all :-\
