Use the .47 root method.
I tried the .47 method but the PC36IMG file is not updated??? That is what the bootloader tells me... An error along those lines

Best thing to do is to download the RUU and let it run, it will bring you back to stock. If the RUU cannot find your device then the option is to run the RUU but do not click next, locate the tmep folder on your computer where the installer is running and find a file named rom.zip... this file can be renamed as PCIMG36.zip and place it on the SD card root and then try to get to the bootloader again, it should take you back to stock.

What can you do?
1. Post in the CORRECT section.
2. Yay we got number 1 out of the way, but you should probably run an RUU because you probably are using a root method you shouldn't be using. DjREZ videos are for a quite outdated root method if I recall.
3. If you can't get the RUU to fun you need to go to Bootloader and then run the RUU while your phone is in FASTBOOT.
4. Once you are successfully back to stock let us know what HBOOT you have and what hardware version your Evo is. I believe they both can be found in bootloader.
Okay where can I downlaod this RUU, and do I just download it and let it run or what? And do I boot into bootloader and then let it run or what?

Read the post that I edited, but to know which RUU you need to check which hboot you are and stuff.
Hboot 2.02.0000

Okay but what can I do now? More info is i tried to run unrevoked 3 and it failed so i went into djrez's old method and when it tried to update using pc36img it failed and got the screen. Any help?
Tried running the ruu and it didnt work, said it wasnt connected but it was.
First I used this method to root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837315
After trying it out i must of missed a step or something cause it would not go past the HTC screen.. at that point i went into HBoot and saw that I did have root but no image on the phone
The phone wouldn't allow me to install a recovery manually..I tried this methods
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834731 I couldn't connect to computer with usb drivers..i installed pdanet and still wouldn't connect so I tried manually and the phone wouldn't allow me to install it.
I then used the same manual method and was able to install the default recovery that comes with the phone. I can't find the link at the moment to that recovery.
I attempted to install the rom before OTA and the rom after OTA..and neither would install using the update.zip method or the hboot pc10img.zip method
I then followed this method suggested

Just tried it and it tells me that "file is wrong image" after I press bootloader from hboot
I basically need a rom that i can rename to update.zip and have it installed through the phone's original recovery..I have tried an old rom before OTA I found and wouldn't allow me to update that cause its too old..i also tried installing a custom ROM with no luck..

You didn't rename the file you downloaded did you? It must be named PC10IMG.zip for it to work. Alternatively, you can try flashing back the originally shipping rom located in the dev section (since the one from that linked thread was modified to remove the radio and such).
Edit: Link for original shipping ROM (assuming you have a G2).

NO i did not rename the zip file to update but to PC10img.zip and followed the instructions as asked.. i have tried an older rom before OTA and before the phone has said it will not take older image.. will try this one.. and yes I do have an original G2 from Tmobile

Strange with S-off you should be able to flash the customized PC10IMG that hot_hands made, may be you had a bad download try to redownload it and flash it again. If not I copied it the day hot_hands made it and have a drop box link for it.

What did you get the original recovery to do exactly?
Anyway,.... if you have the eng-hboot you will be able to use the fastboot commands posted in the other thread to flash the custom recovery.
If no eng-hboot then you will need to use the pc10img method. Have you applied any ota updates? Do you know what ROM was on there before you tried all this? 1St try pc10img method with the rom version prior to 1.72 (1.19 maybe?), if fail again due to older version then use 1.72. Infact as all are now rootable it shouldn't make a difference now.

The 1.72 rom was for the Desire Z not the Tmobile G2, so do not use 1.72 rom on the Tmobile G2.
Heres a link for the shipped rom's from Tmobile its only the top 2 on the list the other 2 are for the Desire Z:
Edit this is for the rom 1.12

With HBOOT 2.18, you can not root with any of those methods. You must unlock with the HTCDEV method.

You can also revert back, after doing the HTCDEV method, by using Captain_Throwback's method, found here.

You don't need to follow my process to root your device. Just do the HTC unlock, and then you can flash a custom recovery to get root. If you have a specific issue with my process, please post your specific issue and all the steps you've taken, in that thread. I can't be everywhere at once, after all.

Skip the ruu part on the htcdev site as you probably already have an unlockable bootloader.

You need to go to the htcdev site and follow all the steps skipping the ruu (hboot update). After you skip the ruu part it will have you use fastboot to get a code from the phone and paste it to the site and submit. Htcdev will then send you and unlock_token.bin file you fastboot flash to unlock the bootloader. Then you can fastboot flash recovery.
Has the phone previously been unlocked? If so do you still have the unlock_token.bin file?
