Short version- Can I re-root my Evo without using the USB adapter, and if not; I assume It would be unwise to try with an unreliable USB connection?
To explain my situation a little further, I rooted with unrevoked a couple weeks ago, tried a few ROMs and I was VERY happy about the increased performance and longer battery life. At some point someone told me about "calibrating" my battery, by what seemed like overcharging it, but it seemed legit so I tried.
A couple of days later my brain wasn't at 100%, my phone died and I fell asleep with it in my pocket. I tried multiple times to turn it on and watch it die really quick. The next day it wouldn't charge. Took it to a battery store where they said it completely lost power and needed some to charge. They jump started it for free and it worked again.
During all this I was waiting for two cheap batteries and a wall charger in the mail. When I put one of the new batteries in my phone to charge over night, it didn't(yes, I tested other cables). So I realized my phone's USB port was damaged, especially after the light started to flicker on occasion. I un-rooted, flashed a stock ROM and took it in. I don't have $100 for the deductible so I decided to wait till I have more problems since I can charge and swap files still. But can I root it again?
