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.

Yes, you're fine. Like I said earlier-without "full" root you would not have been able to flash OMJ v1.7 ROM1. That confirms you have hboot .76.2
Next time you are in bootloader look at the top of your screen-the hboot version is up there. It also will say "S-Off" which means Security-Off=unlocked nand.
Enjoy!

Flash in this order ROM/Radio/Wimax

All three files are in flashable zip files.
Put all three files on your SD card.
Enter bootloader-you know how to do that-right?
Select Recovery.
From there select Wipe-Factory reset and Dalvik cache twice each.
Then go back to the main menu and select select zip from SD.
Go in the order I stated but DO NOT wipe before the radio and wimax.
Follow the instructions including "need reboot to complete installation"
Enjoy.

Look in ROM Manager-if the ROM is there you can flash it.
OMJ does update via ROM Manager.
I dont use it but a lot of users do. Downloads can be slow so if you can try via 4G or Wifi.

You should be able to but anytime you see someone post commands they are most likely assuming you are running the SDK so you need to alter your command line a bit.
You will be typing as you did during root:
C:\>evo-recovery\adb-windows [command]

I use the SDK but I confirmed that path with adb-windows devices and then again with adb-windows remount and both commands worked as they would as if I were running them from the SDK.

Well you wanted to wipe DALVIK cache too, no biggie, just keep that in mind for the next time. If you do a Factory reset you are wiping chache anyway.

You got it my Friend. Welcome to Froyo
To confirm wimax you can type
wimax_mtd
in adb shell and look for the version #. The most current one ends in a 23.
If that's over your head don't worry about it for now. If you flashed wimax and didnt get errorr I'm sure you're fine.
