So I tried rooting my evo last week using simpleroot. After I rebooted, it was stuck on the splash screen that says htc evo 4g. I tried everything and it won't move from that screen. What do I do?

Yea. I still see hboot screen. By the way I also tried the ruu method and it didn't work.
@PFCland - no I can't. Everytime I go Into recovery there's a screen that cOmes up with an android phone and a red caution sign next to it.Can you boot into recovery ?

We'll walk you through it, no biggie. Please don't take any offense to some as they just like to speak out.
ok... The screen with the phone and the red explanation mark is your stock recovery.
To know if you have S-OFF you will need to look on your bootloader screen. The white screen with androids.This will be in the upper left hand corner on the first line. If it says S-ON then the root didn't work.
Simpleroot works on Froyo (2.2). If you are on Gingerbread (2.3) then you have to use the revolutionary method as that is the only one at this time.
Recovery didn't install when you loaded s-off. Easy fix. I'll let one of the others write a book in how to do it instead of me saying to just load it again.

What he means is do what is said hold the volume key down+power to see if s-off us on it off

Thanks! Forgot to throw that in there
Nothing to assume. If he doesn't have s off he's going to have to reload it anyhow. Tell you what, have fun. Ive used simple root, rev, and several other methods. They're not magic.

Disregard that last post. Sorry. Thank you guys for helping me so far. I really appreciate it.
Anyway, s off is not on because it says revolutionary on the top of the screen when I press volume down + power.
