Root EVO Drivers not loading on computer

Unless you created the android-sdk-windows folder, it won't be there. The .zip file when extracted becomes android-usb-driver. Check for that folder on your desktop. I just redid the steps and this is what I did:

Download android-usb-driver.zip
Drag and drop on desktop
right click .zip file
click extract all
I now have the original .zip file and a regular file folder named android-usb-driver on my desktop
I went to the device manager and right clicked the android 1.0 selected browse for driver and went to my desktop and found it.
 
I will try that tonight when I get home. If it doesnt work again, I will try on a friends computer and let you know what happens. Thanks for the help.
 
Xtrmedays - Thanks for trying to help. I finally figured out what the problem was. ME... haha. The drivers that I was trying to install were the right one I just didnt do 1 simple step. I didd't "Extract" the files. When I download them, I just opened the zip file and copied tham as they were to a folder. Can't do that, they have to be Extracted just like it says in all the tips. So now that I have "Extracted" the files, I have sucessfully rooted my phone. Thats to all you guys who understand this stuff a lot more than us "Newbies" and thnks for putting up with answering questions that shouldn't have to be asked in the 1st place. hig413
 
Glad you got it and glad I could help. We were all newbies at one time or another ;)

I am by no means knowledgeable about this, I am learning more everyday by reading and doing it myself. I have become an addict like most of the rest on here :D

Any more questions, feel free to ask.

Ok I'm not reading this while thread I just woke up...you install htc sync, connect the phone, let it recognize it and install the drivers, unplug, uninstall htc sync....?
 
Yes... but it will install the drivers while its installing itself. Then delete the program and u will be left with the driversU need
