Im new to this thread but my evo is unlocked but it is s-on and my tether works. Does that mean it is not rooted?. When i go into recovery my phone also shows an evo and a red triangle. Can someone post a link to help
EDIT: Rx ninja'd me!!
Ok, you've completed the first part of the new root method for the evo. You no longer "need" to have s-off to flash custom roms and kernels. It does make things a little easier, but the new hboot is a little more difficult to achieve s-off.
What you have there is the stock recovery, what you need to do is flash a custom recovery like amon-ra, or the newer amon-ra style recovery. What you need to do now is complete the steps in the updated root guide to get a custom recovery and then flash the superuser file, then you'll be rooted.
The guide you need is here:

As you can see there are 3 methods to root your phone. I highly recommend you use the htcdev method, method 1. Once you have more experience and understand the terminology, etc, then try the Cap'ns method. The 2nd (the Cap'ns) and the third (taco root) take a lot more time and diligence, and can be a p.i.t.a. if you are unsure of what you are doing.
You've already unlocked your bootloader, so you can skip to step two under the htcdev method. Flash a custom recovery then do step three to get superuser. Once you do this you're good to go, and get your flash on!
If you get stuck, let us know, we'll get you fixed up.
