Tried to erase and restore the data from the setting menu and it has been stuck on this thing all day and night. Tried to boot into recovery to reflash but that didnt work, nothing came up when I held the buttons down. I can get into APX more and when its on the green android loading screen thing it shows as ADB device. Thats about all I can do with it.
Any ideas? It was unlocked and rooted

Okay about a month ago I root my gf evo 3d , she has hboot 1.5 so I followed the steps on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821.
Everything has been working fine up until about a week ago , her phone started running hot and the battery would drain really quick with barely any usage. So my plan was to do a factory restart and full wipe and reinstall the rom fresh but when I tried to get into recovery the phone just shuts off , then goes to the boot screen then after the boot screen the phone just restarts itself. I even tried to do a factory reset from the phones menu options and the same things happens. The ways I tried getting into recovery are by using the shutdown menu options (hold power , reboot , recovery) , I've also tried rom manager and last I tried getting to recovery from bootloader and nothing seems to work.
I am completely lost PLEASE! HELP!

You should reflash your recovery to TWRP using fastboot. Then boot into recovery using fastboot. From there you should be able to do a complete wipe and flash a ROM. It is outlined in the thread you linked OP and second post. Feel free to come into the d3rp q+a thread in my sig if you need more help.
It worked thanks you

As a heads up to some of the inner workings.
All the methods you listed are correct methods of booting into the recovery. ROM Manager selecting boot recovery, booting into the bootloader and selecting recovery and also adb shell, reboot recovery.
The boot order goes: bootloader -> kernel -> recovery. Once you see the HTC screen or whatever custom splash screen is loaded, you know the device is now booting the kernel. At this point, if the device hangs on the splash screen or reboots again to the splash screen, something is wrong with the kernel "recovery" itself.
If you get this rebooting to splash screen or hanging on splash screen two or three times in a row, that should be sufficient to know, you have correctly booted the device into recovery mode and the next step is to reflash the recovery, essentially reloading it.
We can speculate on how/why the recovery became corrupt on your device, but in the end, these things sometimes just happen to no intentional fault of the user.
Hopefully this doesn't happen again, but if it does, hopefully this extra information will help prevent a bit of frustration the next time around!

So you mean, stuck at the splash screen(HTC with white screen) and reboot again and again is because of the recovery destroyed? My phone stuck at the splash screen for about 10 seconds and then reboot again and again. I have tried to flash many recovery images, includeing twrp 1.0.3, twrp 1.1.1, cwm-1.0.4, cwm-1.0.5, cwm-5.0.2, all failed to boot up into recovery:-(
Thanks in advance!
so yesterday i powered down my phone completely to put a screen protector on it. when i turned it back on i noticed i do not get the red lettering anymore at start up. i am unlocked and rooted with regaw. i booted into the bootloader this morning it shows version 1.12 and says fastboot under that. i had the options to reboot, reboot bootloader and power off i beleive. ... what happened to the option for recovery??? i also updated to TWRP 2.2
p.s. fastboot is turned off in android.
edit: i can boot into recovery from android, but since it is not showing in the bootloader what do i do if i need to get into it from there??
Edit 2: I can boot into recovery from cold boot, but when I try from a warm boot it says fast boot...anyone have any ideas?
That's how it is on this phone. Mine does that too.
ok i was alittle worried at first!
i was running Android revolution HD, i installed a different rom and put the phone to charge in the morning the phone had a black screen only and wasnt responsive, i took off the battery and booted to Hboot and tried to go into recovery but the recovery starts and stops then just turns off.. i cant go into recovery.. the phone is unlocked and rooted so its S-Off. i cant find any any threads that can help. any files i can flash? ive seen everywhere to download 4ext recovery img change it to PH85IMG.zip but i cant find the file anywhere. any ideas please im phoneless. i also tried the all in one program but it wont recognize my phone i installed the drivers too but nothing. it might be that the phone isnt in debugging mode. ive tried everything in the hboot menu. fastboot,recovery,factory reset, clear storage,image crc, but not simlock... please help

Remove your battery and replace it into tray after few minutes, then hold Power + Volume down buttons together to going to green boot screen, choose Recovery. It worked for me

Every time i do that it seems like recovery is starting but after 2 secs it turns off and trys to boot but theres no rom or the rom is corrupt, thats why i tought maybe re flashing the 4ext recovery might allow me to flash a new rom. is there any way to flash 4ext or cwd from the hboot?
My prism 2 phone boots to blue screen. Can't get to fastboot. Can't get to boot loader mode. Only can get to pink screen. Before this I had bootloader unlocked and my phone was rooted and debugging was on. I attempted to use swapped 2 phone rebooted fine next time I rebooted it went to blue screen. And I have clockworkmod recovery.II. Could really use some help if it's out there. Thanks anyone

My partitions for boot were erased accidentally. Cannot fastboot nor adb. Frustrating, this is my only way to communicate with family and loved ones. I had a pretty robust development of the Stock ROM, but chose to flash these ROMs, and ended up erasing boot partitions in the process. Is there any fix for this and how do I reintegrate the file system? Terrible. I guess we're SOL.
i had my amaze repaired (power IC, bad data cable caused it to not charge or even boot up or go in bootloader). Now within 30 seconds off booting up it used to restart. and i cant get into the recovery( shows logo and powers off when going into recovery from bootloader). i cleared the cache from bootloader and its now stuck at boot animation( not boot logo) and wont boot completely. before clearing cache after logo it used to show 4ext recovery boot screen then screen off, now it just shows logo and screen off. really need help i got this phone fixed after 1 year. im s-off and running any 4.4.4 rom (dont remember which rom, i think pacman rom)
so basically i can get into bootloader and use fastboot commands (no adb, authorized device). cant do anything else on the phone. is there a way to fix the phone?

reflashed recovery for the 4th time and it worked. it said the cache partition is corrupt. formatted it. phone works now. updating apps caused system ui stopped working error. going to flash other roms.

Glad you got your phone working--your persistence paid off.
Be sure to make a backup before flashing other ROM's.
