[Help] Phone won't boot. Keep restarting phone - HTC EVO 3D

My phone stuck at the HTC boot screen. so here what happens :
Just got a new evo 3d (GSM). everything are locked, stock, a new virgin evo 3d (GSM).
locked, hboot 1.53.007, s-on
so what i did:
1. Unlock my phone with htc's way
2. Installing cwm 5.
3. Installing SU
4. directly enter cwm and install rom without downgrading hboot and s-off.
5. after flashing 3 types of roms, the results are still the same. it stuck at the 1st boot htc logo.
I was thinking of downgrading hboot and get the phone on s-off before retry to flash the roms again. but from the tutorial listed, they said need to on the phone, put on charging mode and debugging on. how im gonna boot up to android and proceed with that if i cant even on the phone?
However i still can go to the hboot screen and cwm. Can anyone guide me how to fix this?

Follow these steps:
Boot into bootloader, click on fastboot
Open cmd on your computer
Type in: cd c:\ (wherever fastboot is on your computer)
Place your recovery in that same folder and name it recovery.img
Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Type: fastboot boot recovery.IMG
Flash rom
Enjoy. This should work

As said above, you need to flash the boot.img from the rom.
Put it in de fastboot folder on your harddrive
in cmd:
fastboot flash boot (location of boot.img)
And try wiping everything and reflashing a few times.

No,,not unless you plan to use the RUU,then you do have to relock,,seriously,your best choice is flash the 4EXT recovery,the smart flash option will flash the boot.img for you,then the phone will boot

You need to flash the kernel via fastboot.
Extract the boot.img from the rom on your computer.
Place fastboot.exe and boot.img in a folder.
Open command prompt and cd to the folder.
Power down phone. Hold volume down plus power. Select fastboot with power button.
Plug phone into computer. Phone screen should now say fastboot usb. If not, you need htc drivers for computer.
Now go to command prompt again.
Type exactly "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without quotes. Computer screen will do some stuff... phone will reboot... whala.
Oh, format boot partition with 4ext before starting all this.
sudo passwd root

Volume down plus power, recovery, wipe, format boot.

You also need to read the rom descriptions and make sure it is compatible with your firmware.
sudo passwd root
