First, check that you are S-Off in HBoot. Then you might want to download Rom manager and have it Set Permissions. I did the long form version of Root on 2.1 originally but when the last OTA came out, I installed the RUU and re-rooted with UnReVoked. I have not had a problem.
I suspect you are not fully rooted or you may have the privilidge, you do not have all the Rights set.

did the ./adb shell and it still shoes $. tried to install titanium and says i need root access on phone. When i get into boot mode i do see the s-off at the top.

If you're s-off then you were definitely root at some point. Not sure what went wrong, but you can now use hboot to flash a recovery and then use that recovery to flash the superuser app.

so I decided to go at it some more after being frustrated all morning. I ran Titanium and did the BusyBox update and it worked! Not sure why the ./adb shell gave me a $ on my mac... weird. I checked and the SU application is installed. Titanium says "Root access => OK (BusyBox 1.16.2 from system) so I guess my phone is rooted????

Downloaded Calkulin's EViO 21.3.1 EVO ZONE and went through the wipe process and did the install and everything went flawlessly! I am so happy I cannot believe how fast this phone is right now WOW!!! I'm running the kernel that came with the rom 2.6.32.17-king-havs-OcUv... What's are your experiences with this kernel/rom...

I'm still confused as to how to install roms. In this video posted by the op he says that we should install a custom rom manually before using rom manager. Is there a reason why? Also I read somewhere that somebody couldn't get a custom rom running on there evo so they had to install something (some kind of drivers i think) but they had to do command prompts which I have no idea how to use. I just don't want to be stuck in recovery after I wipe everything and be messing around with a command prompt. Has anyone else had problems or could give me some insight?
I also read that its recommended to do a nand backup. I used revoked 3.2.1 to root my evo does that make a backup if so how do I access it or can it be saved on a computer just in case. One more question, if I was running a custom rom and there was a sprint update would that mess the phone up, possibly bricking it? And how hard is it to flash back to the stock rom? Is it the same process?

Did you read through post 2? He lists several ways to do all of this. The command prompt options are used for manual entry....

Or just go to android market, goto downloaded apps, and you can uninstall, reinstall it there.
