download a stock based rom, put it on the root of your sdcard. boot into bootloader anf then fastboot into recovery. once in recovery wipe cache, dalvik and data then flash rom and you should be good to go

You are fine. If phone was bricked it wouldn't turn on.
Do as said above.

For future reference, what you experienced was a 'bootloop' when it just endlessly shows the boot animation forever...

A brick is something that is completely unrecoverable. You really have to try to brick a phone, and I don't think HBOOT 1.5 phones can be bricked, because HTC made it so you can't muck with the /boot partition.

FlashGUI does not flash ROMs, it just flashes the kernel and/or recovery images. What went wrong for you is that you used FlashGUI to flash an AOSP kernel (MIUI is AOSP). AOSP (Android Open Source Project) kernels are not compatible with Sense-based ROMs (HTC's proprietary software), which is what freEVO is. I can't think of a good comparison, so the technical talk will have to suffice.

FlashGUI is a great tool to help fix kernel issues, but make sure you flash the correct kernels Using fastboot to flash ROMs isn't all that hard, and there are plenty of guides and tools to help you do it.
