help, stuck in bootloop (gsm) - HTC EVO 3D

hi im a relative newbie at this the only 2 android phones ive rooted and stuck new roms on are the defy and the hero and they both werent as complex as the evo
well yesterday i unlocked the bootloader via htcdev then i rooted the phone, i then attempted to stick a new rom on it (coolexes) by extracting the boot img and then sticking the whole rom on my sd card and running it in recovery.
when i started the phone up it was stuck in a boot loop, i got it to recovery then attempted to reflash the backup i made earlier but i must have done something wrong as it still wont do anything.
since then ive been scouting the web for help, ive tried upgrading the radio with no joy, ive then tried sticking on a stock rom i found through this site and unfortunatly it said that it couldnt be installed (both exactly the same model rom)
information on my phone screen is as follows
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53,0007
eMMC-BOOT
May 22 2012,01:06:07
it doesnt say anything else.
thanks in advance for your help

First
Wrong section. Questions goes in q&a obviously
Second
You have 2 options
1. S-off your phone. Don't ask me how, its in GSM section. Than flash rom
2. Pull boot.img from rom you flashed and flash it manually via fastboot. (Since your hboot is 1.53 there is a good chance that this will not work so I suggest you s-off your hboot)

sorry about the wrong section, I realised as soon as i posted it
cheers for the advice ill look in to s-off

---

managed to get s-off now but unfortunatly i still get a boot loop now it includes a juopunutbear screen too, this is driving me mad.
i can still boot into recovery and bootloader though. does anyone have a cure?
(please can a mod move this to the correct section)

---

Maybe try to downgrade hboot to 1.49.0007

cheers fella, ive done that and now ive got a locked bootloader.
but it still isnt booting (it just goes to the juopunutbear screen.
would you suggest i try and load a stock rom after i reunlock the bootloader or do you have any idea what i should do next.
cheers for all your advice so far i really appriciate it.

I don't know man, you are something wrong.
Most of the new Roms requires 4ext recovery
Doesn't matter if its locked if its s-off
S-off>unlocked bootloader(HTC method)

ive got 4ext too mate.
when i run the exe of the shooter shipped rom (that football uploaded 3.38.401.1 europe) it just keeps telling me that it cant complete the installation and that ive got the wrong version of the installer (but isnt that just a windows thing....not actually something ive downloaded?)
when i flash a new custom rom from the recovery screen on the phone, the instalation goes through fine but it still goes back into bootloop and that juopnotbear screen?
do you think ive just completely buggered my phone?
cheers again mate

no probs buddy, i updated firmware (what i found on another thread then i installed the yoda rom and it has booted up:laugh:
i cant thank you enough mate, without your help i would be stuck with my nokia 3310 right now :good:

Glad you got it going.
To make it easier in the future to flash roms I would install 4ext recovery and enable smartflash
