The new firmware on the Android 2.3 is harder to root. I'm having the same issue. Now if you go down to 2.2 you can easily do this.

OK i figured it out. I cannot get all my lost data back but I do have a rooted phone with less bloatware and wifi tether. I did a supervisor's evo tonight at work with no issues. Its not to bad the second time around
