Root [CDMA] BSoD now stuck at splash screen

So I searched and found a solution but I'm not exactly sure how to perform it. I'm not a complete noob but I am not very familiar with adb and using the cmd window.

The problem that I have is I tried to flash the stock kernel with the GUI app because I was experiencing a lot of random reboots with the kernel that I was using. After flashing the kernel I chose to reboot the phone and it gave me the black screen of death. I can reboot into hboot, so I did. I wiped everything multiple times and tried reflashing roms and kernels to no avail. I've only managed to get the phone to hang on the splash screen now.

This thread shows how others have resolved the issue but I need more specific instructions on how to use the commands.

I've been trying to troubleshoot this since 2am and it's 6:30 now. Thanks in advance.
 
Have you tried this below, I assume you are on HBoot 1.50

Put a rom on the root of your sdcard, boot to bootloader
Open cmd and cd to the folder with fastboot
Issue command fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Then once you get to recovery do a full wipe and flash again. This will allow you to write to /boot partition which you can not do by just booting into recovery
And read this thread, Help! Stuck at boot loop evo 3d
 
Did you use the most recent kernel from the OTA? If so, some people have reported problems with that kernel. I'd recommend you do what Don suggested, but use an older HTC kernel or a custom kernel (Anthrax or tiamat are fairly reliable).
 
For those that care to know, this is how he fixed it, see below


C&P
Now follow the below steps:

Download this =====> http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/H...otevo3dnew.zip
Download any ROM or use any ROM that you have.
Download a superwipe tool ( or you can manually wipe everything from recovery).

>extract the "rootevo3dnew.zip" you downloaded above in "C:\" drive.(So it should be like "c:\rootevo3dnew\*.* ")
> install "HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe" from it.
> open the ROM.zip (that you want to flash) with winRAR/7z and copy the boot.img from it to the rootevo3dnew folder.
> open cmd prompt ( press the key between "alt and fn" and press "r" then type cmd and hit enter)
> navigate to fastboot folder ( command : "cd c:\rootevo3dnew")
> boot phone in bootloader
> select fastboot
> connect to PC (phone should say fastboot-usb)
> type command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
> now type "fastboot boot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img"
> Phone should boot into recovery ( make sure the red LED is lit up)
> now flash the superwipe tool.zip(or wipe everything manually from wipe menu in recovery)
> and then flash the same ROM from which you pulled the boot.img.......
