When you hold Vol Down and press the Power button that puts you into bootloader (could also call that hboot). From there you can select fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, hboot usb. So when you say "fastloader" which option were you looking for? Did you mean you were trying to boot directly into Recovery? You cant do that via the Power and Vol Down buttons. You CAN do that (if your nand is unlocked) with the quickboot app or by selecting Reboot into Recovery in ROM Manager.

Then you need to start at ****ROOTING AFTER OTA 1.47.651.1 (Full Root)****
Step 5.

Re: [TUTORIALS] EVO Full Root|OTA Root|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing|for n00b's + vide

Ok finally figured it out and finished rooting and flashing last night. Took a couple of hours but I got it done. For some odd reason the original SimpleRoot OTA 1.47.651.1 Edition zip I downloaded wouldn't work, I couldn't even start step one. So I deleted all the associated files and downloaded the mirror version and it worked like a charm. Not sure what the problem was. I would like to know if anyone has an idea why the original didn't work.

So Rom Manager works with ClockworkMod well i tried flashing through the NAND and now its Clockwork. Is that the same or different? What is Better? I liked the NAND. It was fun to show off to others. Any help thanks.

Just a guess but your first download was incomplete?

How is you phone connected? Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.

So if I read you right, then you flashed Clockwork from within ROM Manager?
I think you have your terms a bit confused. The two common Recoveries are amon RA Recovery and ClockwordMod Recovery. They are essentially the same. Personally I prefer amon RA.
Nand is the backup that you do in amon RA Recovery. Clockwork does a backup too, again, essentially the same as amon.
If you want to switch back to amon RA Recovery scroll down to the bottom of ROM Manager and select Flash Alternate Recovery. You can select amon from there.

I was having the same problem Js... had that you helped him with. I followed the link you posted to him (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915) and was successful.

Now my question is... do I need to do the SimpleRoot OTA 1.47.651.1 again?

No. If you flashed whitslacks files successfully you are done. You had to be rooted with your nand unlocked in order to be able to run his files in the first place.
Now that you have flashed them you are free to stay on his ROM or try out some others.

OTA SimpleRoot

Please, I am new to android and rooting/flashing to this I|OS/device.
Can someone tell me if this is all I need to do to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720565 my Evo? I've run this, tried to use the premium ROM Manager to install a custom ROM, ran ClockworkMod Recovery and received a message that an error occurred while attempting to run privileged command!
I've googled the error message and most post I've found refer to rooting my EVO. I thought I did that by performing the "OTA SimpleRoot". I just got the EVo on 7/24 and it already had the latest OTA update installed. I really don't know what my next step is. How can I tell if it is in fact rooted?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jus

Edit: I was able to use OTA SimpleRoot to get into boot recovery and was able to flash from there. Whew! There definitely is a learning curve with Andriod. I have to re learn everything it seems since coming from Winmo. Now I'm searching on how to install themes...
