Have you tried to completely delete all HTC drivers and HTC programs from your pc, then reinstall and delete HTC sync?
I'm just getting in on the action. It seems Ocn may need a hand.

Do you see a load bar at the bottom of the screen?
Are there any options on the screen?
You should see the contents of your SD card, and the file you are looking for will be at the bottom of the list.
Post back what you see.

Yes 3 times. Ocn I tried debug off and nothing!
ok lets try something easy reboot your computer and also your phone and start all over again. make sure that there is no issues with drivers when you connect your phone. if your computer is not communicating with your phone then we need to fix that first.
weird try running revolutionary again.

Did that too. My HTC says it fails when I first plug in my phone to the laptop. Everything else is fine.

OK, super noob here. First, I apologize for these question in advance. So, I have my EVO rooted (I think). Now what? How do you get to use the phone as a modem/hotspot. How do you delete crap programs (NASCAR, Amazon MP3 downloader, etc...), how do you install a new ROM, and why would you? Thanks in advance.
that could be the issue. can you access your card on your computer?
so which of the options should I select?
read the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html guide in the after rooting section. also if you have any more questions please create a new thread. lets keep this thread only for rooting gingerbread.

Few notes worth putting into your step by step as some people are a little skittish of doing things they're not explicitly told to do.
1.) Don't just download the HTC Drivers, download AND install them! If you don't, you may be getting the "Waiting on Device.... For 3 hours." issue.
2.) If you're getting the red triangle, FEAR NOT! You may not be able to verify s-off after running revolutionary (this happened to me). To fix: Pull battery, hold power+vol-d. Run revolutionary. It will recognize that you've already turned s-off and ask you if you want to download and install it's recovery image. Hit "y" and "enter" and let it do that, THEN continue with the guide.
