Root Bootloop-ish

So I have been running the VILLUMINATI ROM 4.4.1 (by dastin1015 on xda-developers) for my EVO V 4g (Reflashed EVO 3D) for a while, and a few days ago I noticed there was an update to it. I downloaded the update and after many attempts to flash it resulted in failures I carefully re-read the end of the thread. There I found that I had to install a special version of TWRP that had SELinux support. I then flashed that recovery and then successfully flashed the new update. The problem was that when I started up and tried to go through the setup process, I tried to select "log in with existing account" (second button I pressed) it froze then rebooted. I tried it again with the same results. I was quite annoyed but decided that I would have to revert back to the version before this new one. I did and was greeted with the same failures, only this time it typically wouldn't even let me past the first button ("next"). I was getting pretty annoyed and nervous at this point so I reverted to an older ROM that I used to use by the same person (HOOD POPE 4.3.1) and was greeted with the same problem of click-freeze-reboot. I decided that maybe the problem was with this guy's ROMs for whatever reason, so I found and downloaded a stock rom (VM_ICS_2.95.652.5710RD_DEODEX_3-24). This time it just skipped the formalities and sent me straight into a boot loop. I've tried wiping all but sdcard multiple times even reinstalling the previous version of TWRP I used and none of this has fixed my problem. If anyone can help, that would be great :). Thanks!

P.S.: I was rooted and I have s-off.
 
I would suggest flashing the latest 4ext recovery
It will work for viluminati

Just make sure you are doing a full wipe before flashing

The last ROM you flashed was a stock ROM that requires hboot 1.57 or 1.58
If you were running 4.3 and 4.4 you have hboot 1.5 or lower
 
Oh, ok. Thanks!

Update: 4ext gave me the same problems with Hood Pope that I had before, and it wouldn't flash the latest Villuminati version (haven't tried the one before that). I am going to try to upgrade the hboot today or tomorrow.

Update 2: I have tried searching and searching to find how to upgrade my hboot but cannot find ANYTHING but RUU's and every one I've tried has given me error 131 (User ID Error). Does anyone know an RUU that is compatible with my phone? (hboot 1.50, radio unknown, evo 3d turned evo v 4g) Thanks!
