Attempted root on Evo 4g, now cannot use USB functions - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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! ). 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!

I think the person did something different then just revert it back to stock.

May just be a bad usb port on the device. Have you checked that out already?

Tried several latest HTC Desire ROMS - still reboots. Battery end is very hot.
Contacted HTC and they may need the phone.
How do I reset and reinstate the phone to complete as-shipped factory condition. The phone is on Orange but not branded so I assume a stock HTC ROM? Orginally came with 2.1 and I updated OTA to 2.2. After that I learnt some more and rooted, hacked, unprotected(S-OFF) and all sorts. Now I cant remember what I've done and thus what to reverse.
Thanks in advance guys.

As I'm learning more, I have posted more detailed specific questions on the forum.

[Q] HTC Desire USB brick s-on and unrooted

Please help me fix it. The sd-card cannot be read, can't be recognized on my pc, Bluetooth doesn't work and sim is out of service.
Have you looked at the TroubleShooting guide, here:

?
I'm too new at this, and won't be able to help, but you'll need to provide some more detail to get any assistance here, I think. Stuff like software and hardware versions, ROM, what you did to it to get it into the state it's in, how it behaves, etc.

I was backing up my ROM and the ClockWorkRecovery froze and only have an image showing a blurred out picture of the ClockworkRecovery picture so I pulled out my batteries. I tried to turn on my phone but it didn't work so i did a RUU and got me to s-on and unrooted. There was a high possibly that I was USB bricked before I did a Ruu.

Problem unrooting HTC Evo 4G

Hey guys, thanks in advance for any and all help.
Here is the situation. I have a work provided HTC Evo that I rooted forever ago and now I have to return the phone to my employer so they can turn it in for upgrades. So, I need to unroot my phone.
Here is the problem:
I got the phone back to S-On and went to flash the stock PC36img file on the rooting/unrooting page in the forum and I am getting the error "MAIN VERSION IS NEWER"
I am trying to find the version that I need for my phone so here is the information I think you need:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.17-gee557fd

Hardware Version: 0004

Radio 2.15.00.11.19
Also, it has just begun power cycling so this may get interesting.....

Try getting S-OFF again, then flash the PC36IMG.zip again.
Same issue (sort of)
Hello....
I am having this same problem. Except I somehow managed the new 5.07(or whatever it is) OTA and yet I have hboot 2.10 and the same radio as mentioned above. I tried using unrevoked to get S-OFF again so I could approach this another way, but I just get an error message from the reflash utility that tells me the root failed and my firmware may be too new.
Originally I flashed the unrevoked s-on utility, then I got that message "MAIN VERSION IS TOO NEW". Stupidly, instead of researching it further, I just found a zipped version of 4.67 and flashed it with Amon_Ra, which left my hboot as ver 2.10 . After this, I did an update through the settings menu (This has worked for me before to get back to something that looked like it had never been rooted) and now I'm stuck with the new OTA and an old hboot and I get an error every time I try to run an exe RUU, and I have tried all of them from 1.46 to 4.67.
Help.

Downgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 to root and now no signal whatsoever

As far as I can tell, I successfully downgraded and successfully rooted and achieved S-Off. Now, however, when I was going through the initial setup of my phone, there was no signal, just empty bars with an x over them. The phone has no idea who my carrier is, what my phone number is, or anything. When I used Revolutionary it asked if I wanted to let it install Cyanogen recovery and I said yes, then after that is when the problems came. I can get to the boot menu, but the only two choices I have are "Would you like to run the update, yes or no"? If I choose yes, it runs an upgrade and boots up. If I choose no, it only allows me to boot up. I can do nothing else. Here's the info on my phone:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
Software Number: 2.18.605.3
PRI Version: 1.94_002
PRL Version: 58008
ERI Version: 5
Please help me! I am totally regretting ever trying to root my phone

I really feel like I just have the wrong radio installed, but I have no idea how to fix it. Also, I could be completely wrong about that anyway.
Well are you currently on VZW? If so, try flashing this updated radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134451
flash the one related to 6.01 firmware.
this may sound silly, but i'm being completely serious. you did remember to put the back case on all the way right?
