Most likely something went wrong with this part:

As per FastRX8:
"2) Download all files posted above
- unzip the flash_image.zip and the mtd-eng.zip and put the flash_image.img and mtd-eng.img on the root of your sdcard

3) Connect the phone to the pc using HTC Sync, open a "run" window by hitting the Windows key + "R" in the command line type (or cut/paste)
Code:
c:\evo-recovery\adb-windows shell
then hit "OK"
In the window that opens, type:
Code:
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
This should only take a second or two"

HTC Sync is not needed, just use Charge Only and make sure USB Debugging is enabled-read back a few posts I posted the path to USB Debugging.
Make sure:
1) You unzip the flash_image and the mtd-eng on your PC and put the files, not the folders on your card.
2) Make sure you type the adb code lines one at a time and hit enter-they are very specific so make sure you type them exactly as written, including spaces and punctuation

ok so i unzip them and put the actual files on the card and not just the lil stack of books?

[93mustang]

also lemme ask this, it could be the problem. i did the root method but never flashed a custom rom i was trying to to the nand unlock thing so i could flash the new fresh rom. do i have to have a custom rom already before i do the unlock?

Yes, extract the files from the zipped folder and put those files onto your card.

Nope, custom ROM is not needed to start. Did you do the manual recovery after rooting? The steps outlined on Post #1 will get you there.
root (you already did that with those steps-right, NOT unrevoked?)/recovery/Nand backup/Unlock Nand.

If you do a nand backup then you are already in Recovery and once that is completed you can just pick up the steps from there.

Been gone for a day or so, but I think Im done. I never got the NAND backup to work. So when I flashed the ENG build, I guess I lost the custom ROM. But I have fullroot(get the yellow screen) and wifi tether. Thats all I really need. Thank you guys SOOOOO much.

Did you rename it from amon-ra-recovery to just recovery.img?

[93mustang]

yes even deleted it and redownloaded it and reinstalled on the card and still the same thing, i tried typing reboot recovery anyway to see if it would go to boot but it just goes to the black screen

QUOTE:
) FLASHING ENG BUILD:

- hold volume down + power to boot into hboot
- it should now find and verify the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard. itll show a blue status bar on the top right of the screen.
- after a minute or so it will ask u if u wanna flash SAY YES
- after it flashes the PC36IMG.zip it will ask if you wanna reboot. SAY YES
- once booted into Android put the recovery.img linked above on the root of you sdcard

So that part went ok?

And then you go to this and you can skip the HTC Sync like I've said:

Connect the phone to the pc using HTC Sync, open a "run" window by hitting the Windows key + "R" in the command line type (or cut/paste)
Code:
c:\evo-recovery\adb-windows shell
then hit "OK"
In the window that opens, type:
Code:
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery

************************************************** ********
Again, code is written one line at a time-verbatim?
Could you post the exact error your getting?
