Stuck on HTC Boot image please help

Two weeks ago:
I rooted my phone using HTC's method since I had already ran the update to 1.5 shooter. I flashed CWM to the recovery of the phone and took a backup. Loaded ViperROM and all was good.
Last night:
I wanted to load a new kernel since the one I put on there was not working well with WiFi. At the time I did not know i could just boot to HBOOT then go to recovery I thought I had to use Fastboot. Using Fastboot and doing the commands from memory I think I flashed it to the boot instead of recovery... Not exactly sure what I did but whatever it was i'm stuck in a continual reboot that gets no further then HTC.
What I've tried so far to resolve issue:
1. Boot into recovery and restore from backup. - Did not work
2. Boot to recovery and load a new ROM (Myns zip). - Did not work
3. Boot to recovery and load a stock ROM (4.53.651.1_Rooted_deodexed_signed.zip) - Did not work
4. Rename the stock ROM(from above) as PG86IMG.zip and put on SD. - Didnt work
Any ideas cause i'm out and I dont want to go back to my previous Evo 4g.

From what I've read regarding the HTC unlock method, when you boot the custom recovery, the HTC unlock method does not grant the custom recovery write access to the boot partition.
There are only three ways I'm familar with having write access to the boot partition when having used the HTC unlock method:
1) From normal android mode, the boot partition is unlocked and you can flash a kernel/write to it. My application, Flash Image GUI, works great for this purpose.
2) Using fastboot to temporarily load the custom recovery. When using fastboot to temporarily load the custom recovery, the HTC unlock method grants the temporarily loaded custom recovery write access to the boot partition.
3) Having the bootloader directly flash the boot partition via a PG86IMG.zip file.
Hope that helps! Good luck!

#2. That reminds me. I did try to use fastboot to flash the boot partition. I was doing: fastboot boot (kernel i found online as .zip) (stock rom i found online.zip)
This did not work then i tried:
fastboot flash:raw boot (kernel) (rom.zip)
this did not work either. Am i doing this wrong?
Your #3 option. Where can I download the PG86IMG.zip file so that the bootloader will flash my boot partition?

2) fastboot boot c:\downloads\custom-recovery.img or temporarily boot the custom recovery with write access to the boot partition to flash the .zip file
also, you can directly flash the kernel, but the modules will not work until you manually push those: fastboot flash boot c:\downloads\boot.img
3) http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu - the latest version is 2.08 which must be what you're using to have used the HTC unlock method.

It seems that u have an evo 3d but u are trying to use evo 4g rom. Or maybe I'm not understanding this

[Q] Stuck on boot X after clockwork

ISSUE FIXED!! SEE SECOND POST.
Just bought a Nexus 7 2013 and I was trying to root it with adb and clockwork on Ubuntu. The install went ok, but when I tried to reboot it got stuck on the Google logo.
So I rebooted it again and tried installing TWRP. I now have access to recovery via TWRP, however the device is still stuck on the X boot screen.
I'm sure I can try and load a custom ROM, but is there a way to try and fix this and use the current ROM?
I have tried holding the power for 1 minute like advised on another thread, but that did not work.
The two files I have used:
recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-grouper.img
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img
Thanks,
Vic.

ISSUE FIXED!!
- Downloaded the original system files from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582
- Rebooted device in fastboot, connected to PC and ran
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
- Device came up and working, so I rebooted it again in fastboot
- Connected to PC and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img
- Reloaded boot
- Went into recovery to confirm TWRP was working
- Rebooted device and uploaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip to downloads
- Rebooted in fastboot, the recovery and installed sudo

You have the correct recovery for twrp, but your clcokwork touch is for the old N7. That's probably what messed it up in the first place.

Can't get into Download mode

Edit: I somehow could reach to fastboot mode and flashed laf.img to recover download mode but I get a boot certification verify error. I can access the phone and recovery but cant access download mode.
I decided to upgrade to MM from LP using kdz method. However I could not boot into download mode with any method. The phones just reboots normally. I tried hard button(volume up and connecting to pc), I tried adb reboot bootloader, I tried to reboot to bootloader from twrp and none of them worked. In every method I used the phone just reboots normally.
I have root + twrp with stock 5.0 rom. Any help appreciated, thanks!

How can I keep MIUI from overwrite TWRP with stock recovery after a ROM flash?

I'm on fw Global 9.6.6.0.
(Bought the phone 'bogus' unlocked with "fake" 9.6.4.0, bricked it while trying to restore chinese fw and re-lock bootloader using miflash - I'm not doing that again
brought it back to life using the steps from Omer919's thread - thanks Omer919 and Nijel8)
I deleted install-recovery.sh from system/bin using TWRP's file manager before first boot, but it still overwrites MIUI recovery.
It's not a huge deal because I guess I can always fastboot flash twrp before flashing any new ROM, but does anyone have a solution? Much appreciated!

You have to boot to twrp right after flashing.
Go to twrp official site, choose your device and follow exactly instruction to the end.
It wouldnt harm your device if you reboot it to twrp twice.

Thanks, I tried but it reverts to stock recovery. After flashing TWRP in fastboot, I either try Fastboot boot twrp.img or disconnect the cable and hold power and vol+.
Either way, it goes into TWRP, and I make it boot back into TWRP several times with no problem.
But as soon as I boot to System, it reverts to stock.
TWRP site gives me this info (but it didn't work):
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

OMG I found it - Google really is a friend. All I had to do was install Magisk before booting to System.
Below are my exact steps, if that helps someone.
Preliminary:
Download Magisk 17.1 zip, place it on a USB flashdrive.
Install latest magiskmanager apk from Play store (or sideload it if not on the store)
1- In Fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img (If all goes well, this boots to TWRP; if prompted for a code, hit cancel)
2- Disconnect the cable.
Reboot to recovery once more (just to make sure, this is probably redundant; hit cancel if prompted for a code)
3- Mount USB-OTG, connect your flashdrive.
Install Magisk.
During the installation, you'll see some red fail lines, but Magisk seems to work around the encryption, just be patient.
4-Reboot System. You're done! Launch MagiskManager. Device is rooted in the process, too. (Verify with a root checker app).
Power Off. Hit Power + volume Up - You should boot to TWRP.

thanks a million McNoob. I was lost, but due to your hints I managed to install Magisk

Unable to boot into TWRP

Hello everyone,
I really need help from you guys.
Yesterday I successfully flashed LineageOS 17 but unfortunately I forgot to flash Gapps using TWRP. I booted into system and then only few seconds afterwards I realized that I forgot to flash Gapps.
Then I tried to boot into recovery but the problem is I got forced to boot into stock recovery instead of the TWRP that I managed to flash in the first place. After that I tried to re flash the TWRP but then I got booted into the stock recovery everytime. Here is what I did and still failed to boot into TWRP:
1. adb reboot bootloader
FastBoot Mode
PRODUCT_NAME - ZS620KL
BOOTLOADER VERSION - WW_90.11.162.72
SERIAL NUMBER - J8AZB760J064ADX
SECURE BOOT - yes
ACTIVE SLOT - b
DEVICE STATE - unlocked
2. fastboot --set-active=a
3. fastboot reboot bootloader
4. fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. disconnected my usb cable
6. press volume keys to change the START to RECOVERY MODE
7. long press power key
8. press volume down and power key at the same time until Bootloader Warning Message appear
9. and then "POWERED BY android" appear
10. my phone is now booted into STOCK RECOVERY.
Please help me guys
I really need to install Gapps
