S-off isn't essential. Use gparted to partition. Mini tool partition wizard = pile of crap

No matter what i try i can't get my phone rooted.
Info phone
PVT1
S-on
Hboot 093.00001
Radio 5.11.05.27
Unrevoked says running root but no root user there and clockword recovery not installed ??
Can it be that Hboot 0.93 is the problem ?
And if so can i downgrade the Hboot ?
I keep running into issues with unrevoked giving me the error "Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?"
I am running the Telus OTA update of Froyo:
Android Version: 2.2
Radio: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Software: 2.25.661.2
I'm confused, my phone isn't that new, bought it back in Sept.
There are 2 reasons for this.
1) Your firmware IS too new. Check your version. The ARA 2.32.415.x is now rootable. Ensure you are using the 3.32 version of Unrevoked if you are on an ARA build - 3.32
For other versions, 3.21 is best - 3.21
2) If you forced all apps to SD card, this is impairing the installation of the superuser app. Go back through the guide and substitute "pm setInstallLocation 2" foir "pm setInstallLocation 0" and try it again
Don't know if this helps from my rooting FAQ:
If not you may need to try downgrading using Teppic74's down grader.

For Step 5 : "SD Partitioning" I used "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" Windows application and used this tutorial : http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
