I can assure you the file works. I would upload a md5 but I don't have the ability to right now. I created it and myself and others have verified the flash. Are you s-on or s-off? You will need to be s-off for this to work.

For radios, absolutely.

BTW, if it helps any, I got -

... im in bootloader. Hboot-1.57. im pressing up .. its just moving from through the options Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power down ....

Using the volume buttons highlight bootloader, press the power button, after it finds the file press power again, reboot. Reading your post it doesn't seem like you're selecting the bootloader from the menu.

You can get s-off if your willing to dedicate 15mins(or less). Then you can run the ruu and do the update, then re-unlock your phone and re-root.

I do wanna s-off but I just don't think I can do it right at this point. I was reading through the junpunutbear guide ..it says I have to be on stock rom with stock RUU.. I don't even know what a ruu is ... I just don't know enough yet..

Engineering bootloader leaked from HTC, a particular form of s-off bootloader (with debugging commands), you have a standard distributed bootloader, s-on.

You can be s-off with the 1.57 hboot or any other, must be s-offed to change the hboots obviously. I usually have the 1.57.57 juoponutbear hboot which also allows debugging.

sigh, i bite the bullet , upgraded from Optimus V to Evo V.... didnt know i signed myself up for a part time job ...

i just read the bear guide a bit more . In step 1 it says one uninstall HTC sync and other phone software. Step 2 says to install HTC drivers .. , i clicked on the link and it was HTC sync ...
and do i just flash the Odex stock rom and flash SU in recovery to gain prerequisite of stock RUU and be rooted ?
