Alrghtly. I'm going to try and make as much sense as possible so here we go.

Basically, this morning I decided to full wipe on my phone before updating to the newest Midnight Senseless ROM. It was always encouraged so I figured I'd finally do it instead of putting the update over the current rom. I finally did the full wipe, updated Midnight Senseless w/ gapps, then everything seemed fine again. I noticed that my Google contacts (that has all my phone numbers) and the store weren't working so I got frustrated and randomly installed the stock rom that was available on here.

After that, the stock rom worked, all of my contacts were back (the sync worked) and the store was back too. Figured I'd try the other Midnight rom release (not senseless) and went back in recovery, did a clean wipe, then attempted to install it. I got an error. Tried again. Another error. Formatted everything w/ cache again and still nothing installs.

I probably screwed up since I flipped back to the stock rom. My phone is still rooted that I know of but since no rom is installed, I can't boot up my phone. I'm willing to take any suggestions, thanks!

what error are you getting
 
Looking around I think this is what everyone calls a Boot loop. I can only get into hboot. I don't think there is a button combination for recovery mode (which I use 4ext with).

Actually I can't get into the 4ext recovery. Been several months since I installed it since Midnightrom let me get to it by restarting, I forgot what buttons I had to press.

get into bootloader by pressing power+volume down
get into recovery by selection 'reboot recovery' in bootloader

I'm actually there right now. Guess I installed the JuopunutBear whatever (I seriously forgot what all I did to this phone back in the summer, lol) and it seems to be trying to update with some radio patch every time I start it up. I hit yes on it, it installs, boots (then I have to remove the battery since I'm stuck at the HTC screen). I hit no. It just restarts. I can't access any menu. =S
 
Okay, figured that problem out. I had a zip that had a Sprint update for the phone and kept auto opening it and installing it. I removed it from the sd card and managed to get back in 4ext. Will try and install the ROM again...

EDIT: Alright man, I think removing that Sprint radio zip fixed everything, thanks!
