Attempted root on Evo 4g, now cannot use USB functions

[d00dl3z]

OK - so, a couple months ago, my wife and I changed our cell numbers. I had a rooted Evo 4G at the time; however, while running CM7, the carrier folks at the Sprint store were unable to change the number on my phone. So, one of their guys UNrooted it, upgraded HBOOT to 2.18 and locked it.

So, just yesterday, I attempted to re-root using this (How to Root HTC Evo 4G on HBOOT 2.18 with S-OFF! | HTC Evo 4G Hacks!). I thought I followed everything step-by-step; however, when finished, I wound up with S-ON, no root, HBOOT 2.16.0001, and 2 new problems:
1) the Evo didn't recognize my SD card. Fixed this already; and
2) the Evo still goes to Fastboot-USB when needed; however, after booting into the ROM, I can no longer access USB functionality. Sub-problems:
a) I get error messages when using the wall charger (OEM) saying that my electrical current is insufficient to charge my device;
b) I can't access disk drive mode or any other mode needed to attempt a fresh root with something like rEVOlutionary; and
c) the computer (Mac or Winblows) no longer recognized my Evo.

Help!

That explains a MUCH EASIER way of root. And as for the USB issues, boot into your recovery and enable USB MODE. Look for the last post on there by me (OperationA7X)
