I think I did it

I followed the instructions in this thread with no errors. Only took me two hours but I reinstalled ROM Manager after completing these steps and it says it doesn't have root? I have no idea where to go from here. The phone is still modded to a degree, it has an HTC bootup screen instead of the Sprint 4G. How do I get a custom ROM installed?

I just rebooted with "adb reboot recovery" and am flashing the DamageControl ROM from their. Lets see if this works.

That happened to me as well. I used the long method to root after the OTA and some apps were saying I wasn't. I loaded a custom rom and had no trouble from there. Just remember to nandroid back up.

Yeah, i am updating DamageControl right now. Made a backup, how do I restore my stuff from a backup? It came out as a bunch of files.

My question, too. Are the backups ROM specific? So, I did the stock with root, backed up.

Now I am trying Baked, and I backed up. Do I need a back up for each one? Or can you install apps and settings from one ROM to another?

Thanks all around...

I'm a pretty big noob when it comes to rooting, but my understanding is that a nandroid back up is a complete back up of the current rom, kernal, and settings. So if you ever try to do something like flash another rom or kernal, and something effs up, you can restore nandroid, and get back to where you were when things were working.

Titanium back up, backs up your settings and apps to the sd card, you can then restore them after flashing a new rom. But nandroid you can't really touch except to restore it.
