I was doing the dirtyracun s-off process and everything went as planned and it was a success. I flashed TWRP recovery and that was a success also. My phone loaded up just fine and then I went to turn off my phone to load it into bootloader and now it won't boot up at all, not sign of charging or anything. Did I brick it?

Have you long pressed the power button for a while? I've had times where I have to long press the power button while plugged in to make it come back up.

I pressed all the buttons and it finally came back on into bootloader and i reflashed TWRP again and this time it worked. It must of been a bad flash before. In the process of getting everything back now.

Install ENG HBOOT. Then boot into bootloader and flash a recovery. I can confirm that it works.

The Low FPS was killing me lol. When you're in bootloader. Select fastboot. You are in Hboot mode. Click Fastboot, download my toolkit from here.

One more question though: i can't seem to normally boot into Hboot or whatever its called now unless i pull battery, is there a fix for that?
I just got an Evo 3D and I am trying to flash a custom recovery image. I used htcdev to unlock my phone, then I flashed the latest Clockwork mod recovery image to the phone using fastboot, but when I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader it just reboots and it never takes me into recovery. Ive tried flashing a few different recoveries in the hopes that I just got a bad file but nothing works. Any ideas?

Try downloading 4ext from play store, after inatalling it will walk you thru the set up to flash the recovery
Can you get into the bootloader by doing the following:
- Pull out the battery
- Put the battery back in
- Hold the volume down button
- Hold down the power button while still continuing to hold down the volume down button
From there you should go str8 to the bootloader screen rather than the splash screen.
If you get to the bootloader screen, are you able to get into the recovery from the bootloader menu?

Yea, do the battery pull, you can also unchecked 'fastboot' in settings, power.

So since I posted, I have made it to the next step. I have TWRP recovery installed and working, but for some reason the whole boot.img and kernal flashing doesnt work. After trying for another couple hours trying to install MeanROM I have had no success. Flashing the ROM from recovery works fine, but once it gets to the step of updating the kernal, it just freezes and I had to pull the battery (waiting 10+ minutes). After doing so, I could get past the boot screen, but it would never properly load the ROM, I just got an endless status bar and black screen. I went through this process a couple of times before I decided to restore to my original nandroid backup. Even restoring the backup caused it to hang when it got to restoring boot.img. After waiting another 10 minutes I pulled the battery and rebooted and luckily was able to get into the stock Sense ROM, which is better than nothing, but I really wish I could install a ROM like MeanROM.

Try 4ext Recovery (see my signature). It will flash the kernel properly for S-on users.
It didnt work for me, I am still on the stock ROM so I dont have root access. Is there a way to flash 4ext through fastboot?
EDIT: I got it installed with fastboot, trying it now. Thank you for the suggestion!
EDIT 2: I worked!!! Seriously, thank you again!

Glad I could help. Welcome to the addicting world of flashing a new Rom everyday

I installed an update without thinking a while back on my phone. It was software version 2.13.651.1 or something, I can't remember. I rooted my phone yesterday using this method:
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
I can use ROM Manager to create a backup and flash recoveries. When I flash a version of CM10, it gets stuck on a bootloop. When I hold the power and volume down buttons, I see HBOOT 1.19 and S-ON.
Is there no hope for me to flash roms or is there a way that I can still do it? I've read bad things about having a HBOOT 1.15 or above or something like that. I did not get S-OFF before I updated. Can I no longer get S-OFF? I'm not entirely sure what S-OFF is and what I need it for.
I read somewhere on xda that people who have a HBOOT like mine should try this:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-a.html
I'm going to try that now, let's see how it goes.
If you use fastboot to install kernels you should be good to go after a normal flash through recovery, my phone came s-on and hboot 1.19 and I have no problems flashing roms. Only thing I think we can't do are radios without an official update, don't quote me on that though..
Your not screwed. You won't be able to get s-off at this time, but you can still flash roms. When moving from a sense rom to aosp like cm10, you need to flash the kernel...i use flash gui. I'm guessing that is why you are getting the bootloop.

Thank goodness, phew; I thought I was doomed. So if I am to follow #1 on here: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-a.html, I should be able to flash roms afterwards? Do I need to do this every time I want to flash a new rom?
EDIT: So I believe my phone ran out of battery during the school day stuck in the bootloop. I am charging it right now and the orange light is there. When I hold down the power and volume down buttons, I get nothing. The screen stays black, but the orange light disappears. Then the orange light comes back. Should I just let it charge?
You just need to do it when switching between different type of roms like aosp and sense. If you stick with cm10 you can just flash the rom after the first time.

Adding on to my last edit, sometimes when I hold down the power and volume down buttons, the 3 virtual buttons blink and then go out as if rebooting my phone. The screen is always black. Nothing is showing up. Should I be worried or do I just need to be patient and wait for my phone to charge a little?
When the screen turns off let go of the power button for a second then hold it down again while continuing to hold down the volume down button. That should boot you into recovery.

The screen is black no matter what I try. I've tried just pressing the power button to turn the phone on, holding power and volume for recovery, holding power button, nothing is working. The screen remains blank no matter what I do right now. Is it just too low battery right now to do anything?

Most likely. Give it some charge and try again.

I have no idea why, but CM10 just started working. It was getting stuck in the bootloop for the whole day and even after I had done everything I posted earlier. Just now I tried to RUU and that wasn't working. When it came up with my phone's image version, it was blank. It was saying upgrade from nothing to 2.13.651.1.
I decided to repeat steps from the rooting process I used yesterday: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
I did step 25 again and then I did it again, but this time I flashed the stock recovery rom. For some reason unknown to me, CM10 actually loaded through and worked this time. Was something wrong with the other recoveries? I'm just glad it's working.

Thank You So Much for posting that link! I have been searching everywhere to figure it out how to flash rom to rom. My first rom was Meanrom ICS and I didn't have to do anything extra with that. So when I wanted to flash first to CM10, then JellyBam, I couldn't understand why I kept getting stuck in bootloop. I figured out eventually it was all about boot.img, but couldn't figure out how to do it separately.
thanks again.
So, I flashed the root, and tested and it worked.
I unlocked using the FreeGee 0.5 and everything worked fine.
I downloaded the Base 0.4 ROM and went into CWM. I installed a ZIP, selected the rom and started the install. I got the to screen that states that the phone is installing the base rom, but it just sat at 0.00% for over 5 minutes, and then i pressed the power button once thinking I had to start it, but now my phone will not start. I plugged in the charger and the power button just blinks red continuously!!?!!
I can get into Download mode by holding the power, and volume up + down buttons. but I can't get into recovery!!
I'm just going to goto the IRC room for help. Sorry for the post.

** Update **
LGNST didn't fix it for me./ Spent4 a lot of time in IRC and we came the conclusion that my phone just had a bad emmc. So, I went and exchanged it for a new one.
My cousin gave me his Thunderbolt.
I was able to operate the device fine. Then I did an OTA update. I wasn't able to complete the update cause I needed more battery. So I re booted and now I'm getting this screen.
When I re booted and hit menu it has an exclamation point symbol with an android on the screen in the back ground with Revolutinary CWM v4.0.1.4.
Now I'm stuck in this screen and can't get out.
That's a lesson learned.
Download a rom and put it on ur sd card. Take battery out then back in. Hold down power button and volume key down. It'll take u into recovery mode. Do a wipe and flash rom.

Maybe try wiping caches before you flash a ROM.

He didn't flash a ROM, he took an OTA update and rebooted before it was complete. Obviously he doesn't know much about root, the cousin should've explained things before giving him a rooted phone.
