Root Am I bricked?

I posted a thread yesterday with the title "rooting problem please help" and it has gotten some views but no replies. I'm not asking for anyone to go search for it and read it. I just need to know if my phone is bricked. As I stated in my other post, I tried to root it and now I am stuck with a white screen with the green htc letters. I still have access to the bootloader and I still have access to cwm. I have been reading threads and I still do not have my answer. I have the boost variant of the htc evo design ph44100 and i believe it is android ver 4.0.3.
 
You are NOT bricked. Download a ROM of your choice and flash through cwm. That should get you back up and running.:)
 
Ive tried flashing evilkingdom and cm unofficial kingdom with no luck. evil kingdom seemed to have flashed properly through cwm but after reboot it just went back to the white screen with the green htc letters. and cm unofficial kingdom failed to flash through cwm.

I have tried flashing a couple roms. First I tried evilkingdom and it flashed fine through cwm but after rebooting the phone just went back to the white screen with the green htc letters. after that i tried the cm unofficial kingdom rom and it failed to flash through cwm. i'm not sure what to do. should i keep trying to flash roms with hope that one might work?
 
I had to use a 2gb SD card with only the ROM on it and still had to flash boot.img to it because the boot .img somehow didn't take. I found the process on one of the forums right here for Evo design.
 
i am currently on 2fs kingdom cwm recovery v5.0.2.8 which is what i have been using to flash. i would prefer to just flash the stock rom but i have been unsuccessful each time so i would settle for a decent rom. and actually i was able to flash cm unofficial kingdom but since it didn't have 4g and tethering wasnt working and i wasnt even rooted(i checked root checker) which is strange because i thought i had to be rooted to flash a custom rom so i tried flashing ph44zip with the altered mainver and thats when my troubles started. but i will try the team win recovery you suggested legmando33.
 
quick question(i don't want to start a new thread)
can i flash a jb rom if my phone is ics or do i have to find an ics rom?
 
So I scanned through this... Saw plenty about flashing roms... Did you remember the full wipe of everything and flashing the kernel?
 
It has to be flashed via fastboot. I haven't check in a while, but I don't think we have s-off yet. That can't be done in cwm
 
well i just installed the team win recovery and flashed the twrp2 version of the xFuZiiOnZz-4.3.2 rom but it seems to be a sprint rom and not boost so everything works fine except that i can't make phone calls and i don't have my mobile network but it's a start so i'm going to look for a boost rom that will hopefully work!
