I was trying to flash my EVO to Boost mobile and this is where my trouble began. After I had went through the steps of flashing I had to reboot. Upon reboot I get a constant reboot. When I try to go to recovery it goes to the htc screen and then keeps rebooting. I have tried flashing clockwork...I have tried the PC36IMG.zip...I have tried many stock RUU's and none of them work. Has anyone ever heard of this because of flashing? I have a link to a vid I posted on youtube....

In your video you said you tried the latest ruu. In your video you state that it is version 3.30. The latest ruu is 3.70. I would try using that ruin first.

I might have said 3.30 but it was 3.70. As a matter of fact I have tried older and new ones and none of them help.

I have tried both and none of them have worked. Is one in your opinion better than the other?

The only thing that comes to mind is to flash stock recovery. Then s-on then the ruu zip

I just tried to flash a stock recovery...supposedly and it still didn't work. I'm thinking I need to get s-on but can't. I have to admit I'm pretty good at rooting and the whole rom thing but have never had a problem like this so I might be over my head. I thought I found a link to a stock recovery but maybe Im looking in the wrong place.
