that guide was made for 2.3.3 with software number 4.24 i believe...and he obviously has the new software....BUT people have reported that they have rooted with revolutionary even with software 4.53 because they never changed the hboot number when they sent out the OTA...if you have hboot 6.16 or 6.17...it should work...but again...im just saying what others have said about it working...
