Root Stuck in boot loop - HBOOT Hell

[jcunwired]

Not sure what's going on, and have searched for awhile for a solution with no luck.

I just got a replacement Evo, gained root via Revolutionary, installed amon_ra, did a Nandroid backup with wimax. I then re-partitioned, installed VR_superwipe and performed a second Nandroid backup- I want a good backup before exploring a few more ROMs this time around.

In between the two I had no problem, I booted into stock gingerbread and HTC sense. However after installing vr_superwipe and second nandroid backup I cannot reboot into gingerbread, it comes back to HBOOT. While I'd like to know what I did wrong, I'd like even more to get out of this loop.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Are you able to get into recovery? If so just nandroid back or flash a ROM

I would try restoring the 1st nandroid and see if it will boot

I pulled sd to do just this and realized, silly me, that I had just re-partitioned the card and wiped everything away. I do always save my nandroid backups immediately to my computer, so that wasn't a problem, but obviously stock configuration needs these files. My misunderstanding. I was previously under the belief that sd card would be rebuilt once the phone booted again, apparently this is not the case?

Anyway, instead of restoring I flashed a new ROM and all is well.

Thanks for the help, and my apologies for being a n00b.
