If you haven't done a backup yet this is a great time to do so and transfer a copy to your computer. Boot into recovery and clear you cache, dalvick, and system and then select install zip from SD card (note: text may not be exact depending on your recovery software) and scroll to Synergy-RLS1-supersonic.zip and install. I am also using Weather lock screen 2 from Synergy weather lock screen + Gmode also - xda-developers just install it like the ROM above. Reboot as normal and if everything works boot back into recovery and do a backup.

Hope that clears it up some,

That was very helpful, except after the install my phone refuses to reboot. it's stuck on the white screen that says HTC EVO 4G.

Amon can handle some of the newer ROMs out there so you wont get any errors in trying to flash them.

where do i find this alternate recovery?

The easiest most straightforward way is to install ROM Manager from the Market.

After you install it, launch it and click on FLASH ALTERNATE RECOVERY

(You might first have to install clockwork recovery, but I am not certain of that.)

Somebody please help: My screen is stuck on htc EVO 4G screen after reboot Snergy ROM

Same. Things happened to me with another rom... I pulled the battery and while it was booting up.. I held down the power and volume down... Then I just restored my EVO to old settings

I also couldn't get the synergy to work. Same thing, stuck at the boot screen. I'm going to head over to xda to find a solution.

edit: did some reading, you need the latest clock work mod recovery, or Amon Ra recovery and it says allows 10-30 minutes to boot

I've been doing some reading...and I noticed that revolutionary isn't exactly root...I'm confused. What am I able to do with s-off, and recovery? I want to have WiFi tether...and all the benefits of rooting, but it doesn't seem possible with revolutionary...any answers?

Revolutionary gives you S-OFF, unlocking NAND Protection. You also need to follow the directions to install Superuser, which gives you root. You need S-OFF to install Superuser (I think).

A custom recovery allows you to install a custom rom. You need NAND unlocked to install a custom recovery. S-OFF gives you unlocked NAND.

Some of the benefits of rooting:

You can use the wifi-thether thing...
You can remove unwanted SystemApps like NFL, NASCAR, ETC... (use caution)
You can use ADFREE ANDROID to block many ads.
You can use custom themes (If you are into that)
You can grows leaves and fruit, once you roots go far into the ground.
