looks like you need a recovery. for whatever reason revolutionary fails to install it. at this point you have two options:
1. you can run revolutionary again to get clockwork mod recovery.
2.get a different recovery. use the steps in the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/395962-guide-rooting-gingerbread-revolutionary.html sticky

once you get recovery installed then you need to flash the su file.

I will check it out. Thanks for all the help.

1. you can run revolutionary again to get clockwork mod recovery.

If he is a noob like I am, I answered no to install clockworkmod the first time because I didn't realize what it was for. Could you add that to your sticky?

I got the same screen the first time, ran through it again, installed clockworkmod and was good to go.

sure i just not sure when it asks you to to do it. did it asks you the first time? or is it just the second time around. i'm not sure as i have not done this myself.

 

[snupe81]

It ask you that after you put your beta key in on yhe dod area.

 

[snupe81]

Ment dos area. Using phone to reply.

I'm pretty sure it is right after the revolutionary tool runs for S-OFF and comes back to ask you if you want to download CWM and install (y/n)?
The second time if you run it again, it will tell you that you already have S-OFF and ask the question again.

ok thanx i will then add that in to the guide. thanx for the verification.

when it asks you for clockwork mod and you said no, where does it take you to? is it the hboot screen? trying to figure out where to add this in.

 

[InTheRough]

when it asks you for clockwork mod and you said no, where does it take you to?

I'm pretty sure it goes just like you have it in the guide for the rest. That was the only part I got hung up on.
From the guide:
5.enter the beta key in the revolutionary dos window on your computer. people have been reporting that the key is invalid. if this happens just copy and paste the key from the revolutionary website to the dos window.
6.it should then run and do its thing. (this is where it asks for the clockworkmod install)

next we need to go and verify that s-off and if you have recovery
7.select bootloader by using the up and down vol. buttons and using the power button to make a selection.
8.on the hboot screen at the top it should say s-off, if it does then congrats!

 

[ocnbrze]

got it thanx

 

[ocnbrze]

but when you said no. does it take you to the bootloader? this is where it has the menu of
fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
hboot usb

does that look familiar?

 

[InTheRough]

but when you said no. does it take you to the bootloader?

I have a bad memory, but I'm pretty sure the bootloader comes up, I chose recovery just like the guide says. That's when it will give you the dreaded triangle with exclamation mark.

You need the cracked hotspot that roms include. You can try the Wifi Tether in the market though. That one works too.

I tried the free one on the market. It works ok,but do you know the cracked hotspot roms.
