Root [CDMA] Stuck Rooting

I am attempting to root my EVO 3D. I have started the steps and have completed the HTC unlock method for 1.5 and now i a little confused as what to do next
If any one would could help me out i'd be very greatfull
 
Uhhhhhh I don't have all of the steps laid out in front of me (reading forums during stoppages of the hockey game lol) but once it is unlocked (confirmed as unlocked when entering the bootloader), you need to get a custom recovery installed. I recommend TeamWin's recovery as that is the one I used.

HTC's method
To unlock your bootloader via HTC's official method, visit their bootloader unlock page:
HTCdev - Unlock Bootloader
Note that this method only works if you have the official software version 2.08.651.2 or higher (or HBOOT v1.5 or higher). This version permanently watermarks your phone, indicating that it has been unlocked. While you can manually relock the phone, the watermark remains. But in terms of enabling typical rooting functionality, such as installing a custom recovery and flashing custom ROMs, this method will allow you to do so. Once the unlock process is complete, take a look at this thread for specific instructions on how to get a custom recovery and flash ROMs:
[GUIDE] HTC Unlock Hboot 1.50 + TWRP Recovery 1.0.3 + Root + Flash Anything!
 
I am running into a problem with this step, right after "So, you got ur Bootloader unlocked via HTC, now, on your phone, go to menu > settings > applications > development and check the box net to usb debugging"

I put this into Command Prompt and get this:

C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push recovery.img
/sdcard/
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device offline

C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>

any tips?
 
If your phone is plugged into your computer via USB cable and you have USB debugging enabled, adb should be able to connect. The error seems to point to your computer not being able to talk to the phone.
Were you able to successfully check the USB Debugging box?
