Can't de-softbrick phone, HALP!!! - HTC EVO 3D

I'm trying to de-softbrick an Evo3D for an aquaintance, and I've run out of ideas, so any help this forum is willing to offer is muy apreciada.
Info about phone:
UNLOCKED
HBOOT 1.5
S-ON
Phone will not boot to OS. Phone will boot into hboot. Recovery menu does not function, it shows the fastboot menu instead. Selecting Fastboot takes you to the Fastboot menu, which seems to work fine. Factory Reset option takes you to Fastboot menu.
Initially phone seems to load PG86IMG.zip for flashing, but when the blue loading meter fills up, it says "parsing PG86IMG.zip" for a second and then boots me back to the hboot menu, without asking me to install the file. I've tried both the stock rooted and unrooted zips.
Tried plugging the phone into my computer and running the RUU exe. It will not detect the phone, which I'm guessing is because the phone won't boot into the OS. Also, phone does not appear to respond to any adb or fastboot commands (tried doing adb pull and fastboot reboot, neither worked).
EDIT: Now the phone is detected by the RUU, but I get a 155 error code, and the phone says "Security fail!" and "Update fail!"
Again, any help is appreciated.

What happens when you try to run any fastboot command?

try this
Enter FASTBOOT
Open command prompt in your computer
Relock your device by typing "fastboot oem lock" , device will reboot.
Enter FASTBOOT again (you will see *** RELOCKED ***)
Apply the RUU.

Here's the output of the fastboot oem lock (it's responding to fastboot commands now YAY!):
Code:
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 66977136 (0x3FDFD70)
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.936s
It does show the phone as relocked now, but right below the pink "***RELOCKED*** I also have ***SECURITY WARNING***. The security warning part seems to go away if I boot into hboot with the sd card removed.
EDIT: RUU worked on the second try after this. Thanks a ton!

I'm having the same issue but the link to the RUU does not work anymore, can anyone repost?

Does USB come up next to Fastboot? If so can you reflash CWM?
