I'm following this guide Rooting the Evo V (EASY!)

and i got as far as flashing my unlock code,i let it sit for a few min then i get this error "C:\sdk-tools>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 169.660s"


i am re doing the steps again to flash the unlock,but cmd is just sitting there... no activity and my phone is still in fastboot i want to say its froze or stuck,i cant move anything with the vol up or down.. any help would be greatful.

update,i finally got sick of sitting and watching it do nothing so i unplugged the usb... and i had control over my phone again,i wonder if the unlock code bin is corrupt? or do i need to rename the file?
 
just tried again, and in cmd it just sits at "sending 'unlocktoken' <0 KB>...."

cursor flashing but nothing happens... been over 5 min.. is this normal?
 
*update*

ok i don't know what the problem was,but i did the root on a different computer and all went fine so far... im in the "backup" phase.. and will flash SU once done.
