If it gives you the com error in the ruu, fully charge the battery and try it a few more times.

I got it now. Thanks Whitey. I just had to pay attention to what radio I was using. And then it worked.

Now if I can get unrevoked to actually root it.

It took me 10 times of running unrevoked on the Evo I had yesterday for it to be successful. Good luck just keep running it and it'll eventually take.

I've ran this 15 times. It goes all the way up to saying "Failed to flash recovery" then stops

I've googled and tried numerous things. I'm not giving up yet.

I tried that too. It just won't load the PC36I image. Keeps saying it's outdated. This version says October 2010 when in bootloader. I am reading around and it says there is no method for this version quite yet. Is that true?
