sorry a bit more information now,
I followed yesterday the steps from htcdev [dot] com
when i started the phone yesterday with volume down and power it says that its rooted.
i tried to install a custom rom, but the htc logo stays.
i have read the post and it says that it takes quit long to run for the first time. so i wait. ( i fell asleep )
the next morning my phone doenst go on.

Did you wipe everything before flashing the rom? Maybe a bad download. What recovery are you using?

You should not flash a rom directly from recovery.I guess you did it without fastboot method so it is staying at the htc logo screen (as the kernel from the new rom did not get written on the boot partition). And the battery is completely discharged now as you fell asleep on the htc logo screen, it sucked up all the battery.
Now try to boot into bootloader (using power+volume down) if it cant turn on , then you might have to charge your phones battery using a universal charger (like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKsxq8SeN3Q ). After a charging of few mins if still it doesnt boot , then you might have to use another battery.
After charging/changing ur battery
>boot ino bootloader by pressing ( vol down + power )
> select fastboot on phone and connect phone to PC(phone should say fastboot-USB)
> run command prompt and navigate to your fastboot folder in cmd (folder which you used while unlocking your bootloader.It should have some file like fastboot.exe, adb.exe etc)
> open up your ROM.zip using winRAR and copy the boot.img from the zip to your fastboot folder
>then in command prompt type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
>then download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=803714&d=1322926029 and extract it to your fasboot folder
>then in command prompt type "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img"
>then type "fastboot boot cwm.img" then recovery should boot (You should also see the RED LED lit up in recovery mode.)
>Wipe everything
>Now in recovery select install zip from sdcard and flash the same ROM.zip from which you copied the boot.img.
Then reboot your phone it should work and should not stuck on the HTC logo screen.
HOPE THIS HELPS............

Do you own or know the recovery name that worked that time when you intalled the ROM?
try using that instead of cwm.img then check if that 1 boots. Also type the name of the recovery in command prompt instead of typing cwm.img.
If that 1 also fails you will need to lock your bootloader and flash RUU. Then everything will be fine AFAIK. But only use RUU made for your phone.
Do you have sprint cdma evo 3d or rogers or any other?
