so where did i go wrong or what step did i mess up on.
Your fine Bro. You are rooted. The root process takes you back to the software 1.17.
Forget for the moment what I said about OMJ-we'll come back to that later-when you said ROM 1.7 I thought you meant one of his ROMs.

Access your card and remove any files you used during the root process.
Save them on your PC.
Boot into booloader like I said earlier and check your hboot version.
I'm sure it'll say .76.2 or you wouldve seen an error duing the process.

Once confirmed I would suggest flashing the ROM from OMJ found here:
http://vegasden.net/OMJ/ROMs/PC36IMG.zip

When the 1.47 OTA came out (smart for not taking it ) it updated a lot of firmware. That file will get you those updates and keep your root.
From there it's your call if you want to stay on that ROM or come on up to Froyo. Any chef will do, I'm partial to OMJ. There are rooted versions of the stock ROM available too. Same exact ROM Sprint puts out just with root access.

Like I said earlier OMJ's v1.7 ROM is in the PC36IMG file format so put it on your card and then boot bootloader again and let the device read it. You do want to select Yes for that file.
