Phone wont completely boot, recovery will not wipe everything, etc - HTC EVO 3D

So I fell asleep, woke up, and noticed that the system ui had crashed. Rebooted my phone and the boot animation kept going and going. Pulled battery and went into recovery (4EXT Recovery). Wiped cache+dalvik. Rebooted. Same boot animation issue. Went into recovery again. Wiped cache+dalvik. Attempted to dirty flash the rom again (Villuminati CM11). It was taking an unusually long time and the last line said "installing update" or "unpacking update". Something like that. Took the risk and pulled the battery and turned it on normally. Stuck at boot animation again. Rebooted into recovery. Wiped everything except SD card. Stuck at formatting /system and /data. Rebooted into recovery again. Proceeded to wipe everything one by one. Cache and Dalvik wiped normally. Next up was /system. Stuck at formatting /system. Gave up. Came here. Please help
HTC Evo 3D CDMA (Virgin Mobile)
ROM: Villuminati CM11

Try a different recovery, pg86img.zip. also look up linux terminal commands to check and repair filesystem, can be done from recovery or adb shell.

Tried flashing a different recovery and rebooted into recovery, it's still using 4EXT. I even erased recovery using "fastboot erase recovery" and then flashed TWRP again, still loads up 4EXT. I did the repair filesystem within 4ext. I'm using Windows. I don't know what else to do and I'm stuck without a phone for now.

Use fastboot to boot recovery
Download recovery img to computer
then
fastboot boot recovery.img
recovery.img = recovery img file
best to have in same directory as fastboot.exe
Are you s-off?

Since you are s-off, install eng-hboot. Then try again, also just try to flash zip in fastboot mode.
