Alright guys, I'm having serious problems with this root job. I've got an HTC EVO 4G. I used the htcdev website to unlock the bootloader and got this image

I used RA Recovery v2.3 for the recovery and android flasher to flash it to my phone. Everything was actually working fine up until the point where in my sleepless stupor I used Unrevoked3 even after I had finished everything and achieved root. I know had I reached root because I've got the version of Titanium Backup that requires root, I was able to use it so I know I was pretty much finished. Although for some stupid reason I went through and used Unrevoked3 and that flashed a new recovery and did something else, my problem is after that I went to sleep woke up and had lost root access and the superuser (I don't want to say app but you know its there with the rest of the apps); now I'm trying to start over but I can no longer flash a recovery to the phone with android flasher because it says I need an "eng bootloader" and when I tried doing it through the command prompt I got this reply : (http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Full_metal4/Untitled-1_zpsb0cc85ae.png)
I'm just really wanting to know what I've done wrong; or rather, if you guys have any suggestions on how I can fix this.
Also I'm sorry if the pictures are a little big
edit: Also I should add that when I ran Unrevoked3 it put me back at the regular htc recovery, so I can't just load the superwipe that's on the sdcard.

I'm not sure about your specific phone but I'm pretty sure you need to have S-Off
I also noticed you're not in fastboot. Select fastboot and then try sending the recovery again
This might help too

I've got s - off, I don't really have another camera right now so I can't take pictures of my phone screen to show but I used this guide http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?11114-GUIDE-WIP-How-to-achieve-S-OFF-after-unlocking-2-18-HBOOT-with-HTCDev-com-No-More-Watermark!- to get s - off.

Having an unlocked bootloader through HTCdev and having S-Off are different though. If you look at first line of text colored green in the first picture you posted, it says S-ON
In my experience, XDA Developers is the best site for rooting, unlocking Android phones though

yeah I know they're different, I just can't prove to you that I've got s - off I just know I do. that's an old picture. anyway, thanks for your help. I've got it now... I think, I'll update if I run into more problems.
