You probably shouldn't have rooted in the first place. You should have learned and researched first.

Despite popular belief, having root does NOT in fact make you cooler.

Way too many new users are trying to root because they think it's cool or heard it's cool. Well; it's not cool to be a n00b and attempt root. You need to learn your device first.

If you don't know how to perform a Nandroid backup, or restore a previous ROM backup, flash updates, install custom ROM's, boot into Safe mode, Mount R/W, run shell commands or Terminal Emulator etc, then you should NOT root. You should browse the forums here, read and re-read everything until you know it well. Google search related topics. Exhaust all available avenues, then ask questions. After you've executed all of these options you might consider rooting and starting to tinker with your device.

If you don't even know what some of the things are that were mentioned, then you should absolutely NOT root your phone. You will likely brick or screw up your phone and then be right back here begging for help in a new thread most definately created by you out of haste or costing HTC/T-Mobile money by sending your phone back and asking for a replacement simply because you had no idea what you were doing.

Couldn't have said it better. But, I jumped in myself without really testing the waters when rooting my main usage device. But, what I did was read the same steps over and over again as I went along and took my time to make sure where I was going to go next and what would go wrong if I changed my mind and didn't want to root anymore out of difficulties.

What you should do at this point, is go back on the steps that you've followed and see what you may have done wrong. The best thing you can do is go back into your recovery menu and try reflashing a stock rom to your phone in hopes of reversing what you've done. Once you've done that, read different guides to give you a sense of what's going on. Pick a guide that makes the most sense to you, perhaps even a dumbed-down guide that will take you literally STEP BY STEP and assist you in rooting. Also make sure your phone isn't a pain to root. Some devices are easier than others.
