Hi I'm new to this site, and on a mission to root my EVO. Can someone help with error message received after running the application. My unrevoked 3.21 computer screen reads done. The phone screen had the following on it:

Clockwork Mod Recovery V2.5.01
-reboot system now (highlighted in green)

Waiting for SD card to mount
SD Card Mounted...

--Installing: Data: local/unrevoked-forever.zip

unrEVOked forever S-OFF patch V1.1

Verifying system type...
E: unsupported radio version
E: Update failed Check /sdcard/soff.log
E: Error in /data/local/unrevoked-forever.zip
(status42)
Installation aborted.
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please openROM Manager to report the issue.

There seems to be a prob with unrevoked 3 flashing unrevoked forever. Just goto the unrevoked site and download unrevoked forever and flash it. After that you will be good to go!

Downloaded unrevoked forever.zip put on thr root of SD card, followed the steps.
It got the S Off, but it gave an error message in E: that it could not find unrevoked forever.zip on SD card.
I rebooted by going back to clockworkmod, & power off. when I powered back up I can't see any changes in the phone other than S-OFF.
How can I determine if I made any progress, or what should I do next?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Here's a list of available roms:

HTC Supersonic/ROMs - XDA-Developers

Just remember to make a nandroid backup of your current rom first, and use something like titanium backup to transfer your apps/data.

I have 2 of these phones One I use daily is running the Virus Rom & I won't touch it as it's performing great. The other I bought used to play with & learn. This is the phone I'm experimenting with. After following the steps in HTC Evo for dummies, & running the unrevoked driver .zip & reflash package as specified my computer screen tells me it's done, but heres the text log on the SD card of the phone showing error message even though I got the S-Off.
ran both several times with same result. I would appreciate to hear your take on this. Hope it's OK to post this log text here?
