For people who came for an answer, here it is.
download android sdk
download fastboot drivers
get clockworkmod img and rename to imgfile.img
put img in adb tools
put adb, adbwinapi, fastboot, and the img file in c:/Android
plug your phone to the computer
enter the bootloader
click on recovery or fastboot doesnt matter since both will now take you to fastboot
goto computer
type in run in start menu
type cmd in run and hit enter
type cd c:\Android
type fastboot boot imgfile.img
you are now in recovery
go to mounts and storage and mount your device as a disk drive
download any rom to your computer doesnt really matter and put in on your sdcard. If you already have a rom on there then just use that.
unmount your phone
go to wipe data/factory reset and when it finishes flash the rom
once rom is done flashing reboot into android again.
your phone is partially fixed
now go to the market (if you flashed cm then flash the gapps.zip) and download "rom manager"
Then click on download clockworkmod 5.0.0.2 or something like that (first option)
Now go to rom manager and restore your backup that u made (If there was 1 before)
now it will be fixed and your bootloader will take u to recovery instead of fastboot when you click recovery xD
thanks xda
I flashed a rom and the rom must have been corrupted or something and now my phone is stuck rebooting and when I try to go to recovery or any option it takes me to fastboot so now my phone is basically bricked
Your phone is not bricked since your still able to turn it on.
Can you enter fasboot USB?

well it doesnt really turn on its a boot loop but whatever and fastboot is weird it doesnt want to work.
If your bootloader is unlocked make sure you flash the boot.img through fastboot and make sure you wipe

Are you S-Off or S-On? If S-Off, download a PG86IMG.zip of a recovery, and use your bootloader to flash recovery. From that point, just restore a backup or reflash a ROM. If you're not S-Off, I'd say you should try running an RUU, since you can't get fastboot to work. But I think you need to relock your device to run an RUU (if you're S on/ HTC Unlocked), so you'd still need fastboot. Do you have a different USB cable to try? I've seen them fail before even though they still work to charge.

Sounds like the drivers arn't installed right.. Like you said if he is S-ON and relocked he can run a RUU exe if he is CDMA...
If you are s off then you just need to reload another recovery. And then access a backup of a rom! Or just flash a new one. I had a issue just like this yesterday where my recovery was broken for some reason and had to go from twrp. 2.1 back to 1.1.1 and load another rom.

EXT4 recovery
Unlocked Hboot 1.5 s-on
I was running ZR3Dv2.4b smoothly and tried to use boot manager to boot MIUI. MIUI ran fine, but I could not boot back. I tried to flash a new rom and it would still only boot MIUI. It said data, system, and boot are all unmounted? But said image flashed succesfully. I can remount system and data, but no option for boot. Now I cant even boot back to even MIUI. All I get is the HTC screen.
I also tried to download the first posted link for a 2.17 ruu from this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24268786&postcount=209
Bootloader finished checking it and quickly says wrong zip and brings me back to main bootloader screen.
Please help me us my phone again!
Did you try fastbooting into your recovery. 4ext leaves a copy of the boot.img on your sd card. If you have a sd card reader you should try to extract it, place it on your pc and fastboot into it.
Coming from sense to aosp and back and forth can cause all kinds of headaches.

I cant seem to connect my phone to my pc with fastboot usb or with usb storage in ext4 touch recovery. What software and device drivers do i need?
install htc sync and uninstall it I believe...
tried that, still says "windows does not recognize usb device"
I've had this happen on my 4g before. Your boot.IMG is borked. A nandroid restore will fix it.

have you installed boot manager in MIUI from play store? You should boot phone ROM from it.
If you get stuck , all you need to do is flash update.zip located in bootmanger/phonerom folder from recovery, if you are s-on you can't flash the update.zip without booting recovery from fastboot or without using 4ext recovery.....
Next time do a little search outside xda too. The boot manager's site has a guide and faqs and solutions too.
if you had setup the zr3d rom with bootmanager, flash the same rom again and flash the update.zip.....see if that works
i cannot boot back into any rom. I tried everything in recovery. no matter what my device hangs on the htc screen.
Why not just reformat your sd after backing it up. Then reflash your recovery. Then do a full wipe and flash a rom.

I can get into recovery, I can flash images and use it just fine, why would i reflash it? also i flashed it from android so i wouldnt know where to begin to do so.
I have been searching for instructions (with download) on how to relock my bootloader via fastboot connected to a pc. But unable to find what I am looking for. If I can just relock the bootloader sprint will give me a new one.
So now my new problem is please direct me to the files, instructions and commands to relock my bootloader, and of course all the other good stuff.
Thank you all very much for your time spent helping me sort out this issue.
EDIT: I can get my phone to connect via the bootloader in "fastboot usb" mode, Its the PC end where I am lost.

here... take this file im sending you and download it and save it in the same folder as your fastboot and adb files and once its saved there start your phone into the bootloader... the part where you get it to say fasyboot usb... then go to your computer and PM me from three ill give you further instructions to fix it and then relock it if you choose to
You don't flash an exe you run it from your pc while your phone is plugged in and on charge mode only. Also make sure usb debugging is checked. Also the reason why I suggest to flash a new recovery or reflash your current recovery is that sometimes recoveries can become corrupt. Just because you can flash doesn't mean your recovery is functioning the way it should. So rather than try to figure out if your recovery is corrupt it takes like 5min to reflash it. That way you rule out your recovery as being the culprit.

Is there a specific method in which to flash the kernel?

I believe that you have to be S-OFF (preferred) or HTC Dev Unlocked to flash kernels successfully.
Also, if you took the latest OTA, you're now on a version of hboot, which doesn't allow flashing kernels.

You basically just need to flash the entire boot image instead of just the kernel. I know there is an an Enoch boot image available in the official thread, not sure about Evilz.
To do a fastboot flash you'll need the sdk installed. There is a good how to video here if you've never done it before:

You have to extract the boot.img from mean rom and use fastboot to install it. premo15's first link also talked about using fastboot to install. If you want to install a custom kernel then just take the boot.img out of the fashable zip and use fastboot.

You can type in adb devices to show connected devices. Make sure Android debugging is on in Settings -> Developer Options.
My Phone will not Boot at all. I cannot Enable ADB Debugging, I can go to the Bootloader Menu or the Recovery Menu.

Try going into recovery from the bootloader and then try the "adb devices" command. I've noticed that I can't issue adb commands while in fastboot also...not sure why. If you can get it to display your device while in recovery, then you know your communication is good. Go back into fastboot and you should be able to do the "fastboot flash boot" command, but rebooting with the adb command will not work for some reason. After you flash the boot image, there should be an option to reboot on your phone that you can select with the volume keys.

[FIX] & [DOWNGRADE HBOOT] - Stupid Bootloop with HBOOT 1.58 EVO 3D - UPDATED 1-7-13
My friend's phone had the annoying bootloop problem. I'm posting this because after a lot of searching, I found nothing to fix the bootloop, just people asking about it. Here's a simply fix.
BOOTLOOP FIX:
If you already tried unlocking/ and you're still S-On, then set everything back to stock:
Flash the attached stock recovery,
fastboot oem lock to be locked again.
Use the latest RUU to update the phone.
At this point the stock, locked phone should function normally.
I have busted this phone a ton of times trying to get different recoveries and roms to work, and this method has always fixed the bootloop.
At this point you can try whatever tutorial you like to downgrade or customize the phone...and if it breaks, hopefully this method will still work for you. If it doesn't work the first time, try running the RUU a second time. Or third.
CUSTOM RECOVERY:
If you want to unlock and install custom stuff:
Use the HTC Dev unlock method.
Fastboot install CWM Recovery v5.8.0.1 from their website -
The ONLY recovery that I've found to be compatible with HBOOT 1.58 is CWM v5.8.0.1. Everything else leaves the phone in an infinite bootloop. Maybe others have had different experiences.
To fastboot install the CWM recovery, rename the file to recovery.img (for simplicity) and type in a command prompt (same directory as fastboot and recovery.img):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then, to enter into recovery, either pull the battery and enter recovery through the bootloader menu, or type in:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This should get you into the working CWM recovery. If it doesn't, it's because HTC hates people that buy their phones.
If you feel like giving up and running stock, all you need to do is reflash the stock recovery, and relock the phone using fastboot oem lock - and now it should run the stock rom...and if it doesn't, then rerun the RUU. Tedious.
HBOOT Downgrade & S-Off:
If you have: Stock 2.89 RUU / Locked / S-On
Unlocked with HTC Dev method
Flash CWM 5.8.0.1 from the CWM website:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - then
fastboot boot recovery.img (to enter recovery)
Flash the SetMainVersionLOW.zip file attached (thanks ramjet73)
Relock the phone with: fastboot oem lock
Use the Unknownforce/closeone hboot downgrade with live CD using the 2.89 RUU's rom.zip (from windows temp folder) renamed to PG86IMG.zip - go to the Unknownforce/closeone thread for this part: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342
Then flash the standard 1.13 RUU on your windows system (may also work with the PG86IMG.zip method, have not tested)
Then use revolutionary 0.4pre4 to S-Off
Finally, you need to flash a custom recovery which you can do from revolutionary, or from fastboot as listed above. Once the recovery is installed, you should be able to install a compatible custom rom and kernel.
You bootloader screen should now say REVOLUTIONARY on top instead of UNLOCKED or RELOCKED etc... and show HBOOT 1.40.1100.
Thanks to Unkownforce, closeone, and ramjet73 for making this possible.
PS. Screw up your phone at your own risk.
In case anybody was wondering, the RUU I've been using is the latest one at the time of this post: RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed.exe
If by "reset s-on" you mean to switch s-off to s-on using the "write secureflag 3" command, then there is no need to do that., you can directly run RUU.exe on S-OFF and any recovery (hboot needs to be one of the stock versions I guess, I dont know for sure).
And I dont know if theres any relation with hboot version and recovery but TWRP and 4ext recovery works for every hboot. And if you are s-on, you dont always have to flash boot.img seperately using fastboot if you turn smartflash on.

As others have mentioned, this is completely unnecessary. Once you're s-off htc's unlock is a non-issue and you can run any RUU you wish to at any time.
I know of no reason whatsoever where someone would need to set S-ON once it's off.

Totally agree. The only reason to set S-ON once S-OFF is achieved is to return to 100% stock for warranty service or to sell the phone.

The CWM recovery version (6.0.1.4) you attached to the OP gives an error about accessing mmcblk0p34 when used with the engineering (ENG) bootloader, which a lot of Evo 3D users have installed to run GB or AOSP based ROM's. The current version of TWRP2 (2.3.3.0) has a similar error about the misc partition and I don't know if those errors will affect anything else or not. Apparently those errors are caused by variations in the emmc partition layouts with different bootloaders.
I prefer to use 4EXT which doesn't show any errors once cache+dalvik are formatted.

I updated the OP. I read somewhere else that it was necessary, this phone was never S-Off, so I wasn't sure.

Everytime i run the ruu for my 3d it will finish as it has completed and boot. But whenever i remove my battery to switch it with a secondary, i used to do this before bed every night, i get a bootloop and cant boot untill i boot into bootloader and select the recovery option which wipes the phone and boots untill then next time i remove the battery. Why wont the RUU fix this? ive ran it multiple times. And also whenever im in the stock recovery and i select factory reset or any of the options i get "invalid option" "sucess rebooting by reason oem-00" what does this mean!?! can this be my sd? cause i cant mount cache recovery command or mount anything in recovery for that matter. if i need an sd ill buy one. just dont wanna find out its not my sd. and ive run the RUU about 7 times in total and nothing helps. thanks

put your phone into the bootloader by holding the volume down key while turning it on.
Assuming you have the sdk tools, or some basic set like QADERSO.zip:
select fastboot from the bootloader menu, then connect it to your computer with a usb cable (should change to fastboot usb)
in a command prompt (or terminal window, depending on your OS)
Go into the folder containing both fastboot and the recovery.
Type in: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (rename the stock recovery included in the OP to just recovery.img)
Once that is complete, you will have the stock recovery.

Re: [FIX] & [DOWNGRADE HBOOT] - Stupid Bootloop with HBOOT 1.58 EVO 3D - UPDATED 1-7-
Dang it! Why does it seem like developers have quit developing fully functioning roms for this phone? I live in a good 4g area so those roms without it are out of the question for me. And the others are having major issues with cameras, video playing, text messaging that keep it from being a daily....
And after using jellybean these ICS roms feel very incomplete even though they're more functional. I know you developers are busy people but please, can ICS get freshened up. Or just ignore me if y'all think the camera/text thing will be resolved very soon.

Since you are s-on, you need to make sure you're flashing the kernel separately. Most people have good luck using 4ext with its Smart Flash option.
You have likely hosed up the boot partition/kernel preventing 4ext's Smartflash feature from working. If u enter your recovery via fastboot command prompt you should be able to flash normally and get the rom's kernel to load.
The HTC Unlock/hboot 1.5x Guide (my signature) should help.

It means put your phone in "fastboot usb" mode and from the directory on your PC that contains adb and fastboot issue the following command:
fastboot boot recovery.img
The "recovery.img" parameter is the file name of whatever custom recovery you flashed to root.
After the phone boots up in recovery, just make sure SmartFlash (S-ON) is disabled in the tools menu if you are using 4EXT, then flash the ROM the same way you normally would. This method of starting recovery allows you to flash the boot partition (kernel) from recovery even though you are S-ON.
If you need more information than that, look at the links in the mpgrimm2's signature.

You can't flash with a relocked bootloader. Since the phone is S-ON you need to htcdev unlock the bootloader again after flashing the RUU, then install a custom recovery and you should be able to flash successfully or restore a previous nandroid backup.

It's not clear to me, but it almost sounds like MobilePLazza's problem is that he can't flash the full RUU to get back to stock and not sure if he even has the correct RUU.
Same outcome as the OP, but different problem. Perhaps he will clarify.

ok this is the issure phone is in bootloop now...............i relocked and flashed stock rom (ruu) as i said process 65% goes normal then suddenly shows 100% process complete but still phone in bootloop and im sure nothing is changed in my phone....but i can goto bootloader and even i can unlock phone again.....and i can run fastboot commands ....phone still in s-on.....
@ramjet : even if i flash custom rom after unlocking still my s-on is there to block and its not letting me to process it (no backup is taken b4 im so stupid here)
plz help me to solve this problem i just want this phone to run normally
It looks like you are on a GSM version of the 3d but the process is the same as the Sprint CDMA version we have, just different files (have to trust u on having the right Ruu, recovery, & Rooted Rom files).
Did u put the phone into "fastboot USB" mode, connect to pc and run the Ruu.exe from Windows OS when u did it?
As Ramjet73 was suggesting...
After u unlock the bootloader, are you able to use fastboot commands to flash a recovery.img? ie..
fastboot flash YourRecoveryFileName.img (to install recovery)
Then
fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img (to boot the custom recovery)
Then flash a Rooted Rom from your sdcard with the recovery and reboot.
* keep in mind that you must enter the recovery via the above "fastboot boot.." command prompt every time you want to flash a Rom/kernel with S-on or you will bootloop because the kernel never gets loaded *

Alright, I might as well post in this semi-fresh topic. I tried to change roms tonight and got stuck in a boot loop. It loads the HTC white screen, starts a little past that and then resets. I've tried wiping my data, and both caches. I've made sure SmartFlash is enabled on 4EXT because I'm S-On. I've tried it with SmartFlash disabled, too. I tried fastboot boot recovery.img to install my rom and my kernel. I can't seem to get out of this loop. Any advice?
Glee, please state your full phone/carrier /specs / recovery/rom if you want help. If you are CDMA/Sprint, I suggest you read through the HTC Unlock/Hboot 1.5x Guide (in my signature), specifically the linked post about flashing Roms/kernels via Fastboot/Recovery. Then you will be better prepared to explain what you've done so far.
