doesnt sound rooted to me... how do you know you were rooted?
and what method did you use to root

and at the top of that screen does it show s-off or s-on

s-on. i use setcpu and wifi th\ether so i assume im root. but cant get anywhere. went to sprint store, and they ordered a new one for me on monday. i am trying to get this one to work so that i dont get into trouble using rooted rom. i am sure that clicking on the OTA was not supposed to blow up in my face.
any help is appreciated.
hint help not. NO Ur not ROOTED ... JUST want help.

i would say you half root you had superuser from what im reading

but if s-on then that means NAND is still locked

.. so do you want to try to finish root or go back to stock?

if you wanna try to finish root go to this link
[GUIDE] How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G - xda-developers

if you wanna go back to stock

download this file to your computer and load htc sync to your computer
plug in phone then run the downloaded file

did you try to pull the battery then see it recognizes the phone
when pull the battery and put in back in does the fone boot up or does it go back to the same screen
