If you have a Mac it's even easier, if you have a Windows PC, then you need to download the HBOOT files and install them. The below link has instructions for that as well.

i tried using Unrevoked 3.22 using my ubuntu to root my 003 hw version on 0.97 hboot EVO and got the "Validation failure: backup cid failed" error

so i found out the problem. after i flashed supersonic 3.3 and radios it would stay on the 4g screen. before i did that i backed it up. the problem had to be the supersonic and radio flash.. what did i do wrong?
how i can i update my phone with the latest sprint update?

thanks again to everyone helping out.

Re: how to root my evo

There is an RUU of 3.7n floating around. Search on
"RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15 .00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed"

You will loose root and have to get rooted again.
