Whenever you flash to a custom rom, you should be able to find it. There's issues with having a rooted and an unrooted rom.

Your issue MAY be a adb driver issue. Had one other user with a similar "device not found" error.
Fast suggested this:

"You do not need android-sdk at all.
I have a laptop w/ Vista that has never been connected to my phone. I connected the phone, and it failed to see it. It looked for drivers, but failed. Only thing I could do was Charge or Disk Drive. Went into the disk drive and copied the HTC Sync file and installed it.
After it was done, I unplugged the phone, reconnected it w/ HTC Sync.
Then I downloaded the evo-recovery.zip, open the run command and typed "c:\evo-recovery\adb-windows reboot recovery".
Worked fine. Then I typed "c:\evo-recovery\recovery-windows.bat" and went right into recovery mode.
Never needed the sdk."

Dont need the HTC Sync part. Just charge only will work. Just tested it on my device.

Worth a shot.

EDIT: I meant you dont need HTC Sync to be running, still grab and install the files as Fast said.

Like we said, if you root and stay on the stock ROM and dont have a Superuser icon (many users dont) the apps that require root wont work.

OMJ's rocks. Very close to stock, Sprint bloat removed, a few tweaks but visually exactly like stock.

If you want a Sprint app like Nav then OMJ has all the Sprint apk available on Post#1 for reinstall as you wish.

OMJ seems to be a popular one. I'm a big fan of the fresh roms by flipz. They're optimized for speed removing the sprint bloatware and adding some essential goodies. Like OMJ, you add back any sprint features that you want.

Did you put the FILE, NOT the FOLDER on your SD card?

@dodge_longhorn: also insure your phone is in "charge only" and not "disc drive".

Re: EVO Full Root|Recovery|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Vid

Coming from a touch pro 2 the Android system is growing on me. I have successfully rooted, nand backup, and flashed OMJ's Rom without a hitch. I have attempted to unlock the nand and feel that I have completed it. However, how can I verify that I have successfully unlocked the nand? Thanks for the great thread guys!
