cd\
cd android-sdk-windows\tools
adb devices
you should see your serial number.

Thanks just did that before viewing your post and got it to work. I think the my computer/windows 7 was the problem lol

from what it seems they can't get the recovery image to stick, so that is the workaround for now. they said hopefully they will have one soon that sticks. here's how joeykrim explained it
"the files are pushed over from the EVO-recovery.zip using the provided scripts.
once we can resolved the NAND protection issues, should be able to flash a permanent recovery. in the mean time, this is a great patch."

Makes sense. but of course now i'm having trouble getting back to recovery. I want to backup and then flash froyo just to see it and then nandroid back to my regular set up

I may have to set it all up on my girls computer because I seem to keep having issues on mine (she doesnt have windows 7). It seems to be driver related. Its like everything I did to get it to work is gone lol

if you want to get back to stock after flashing a custom rom, flipzmode has created a stock rom with stock ruu located here to get back to stock with root access. But you are correct, i'm not sure if nandroid backup is working properly.

once you root your device is there a way to UNroot it in case you have to return it for repairs?

I believe all you have to do is flash the shipped rom
