[Q] unable to install custom recovery - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was able to unlock the bootloader following the instructions on HTCDev. However, I am now unable to install a custom recovery. I have tried using both the 'fastboot' and the 'PC36IMG.zip' methods with the 'AmonRA-v2.3-hausmod_revA', and the 'PC36IMG_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-ics',
When using the Fastboot method the recovery seems to flash, but afterwards, when I navigate and select 'recovery', the device sticks in the splash screen that reads 'htc EVO 4G'.
Here is the Terminal output from an example:
c-s-MacBook-Pro-15:~ c$ fastboot devices
HT08******27 fastboot
c-s-MacBook-Pro-15:~ c$ fastboot flash recovery PC36IMG_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-ics.img
sending 'recovery' (4140 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.475s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.775s]
finished. total time: 3.250s
c-s-MacBook-Pro-15:~ c$ fastboot erase cache
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 1.227s]
finished. total time: 1.227s
When I use 'PC36IMG.zip' file to the root of the SD method, I get 'main version is older. Would you like to reboot?''
If I change 'mainver: 1.00.000.0' to 'mainver: 4.67.651.3' in the 'android-info.txt' file inside the zip (like suggested elsewhere), I get 'Parsing PC36IMG.zip...', then nothing.
It does read 'ÚNLOCKED' at the top of the bootloader screen now, and I checked md5 sums.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
The Phone no longer boots up properly. Sticks in boot-loop when not booting to bootloader. It's a Sprint device. Was having issues with seemingly random powering down. Was able to boot after unlocking bootloader, but now doesn't (may have úninstalled' necessary 'bloatware').

M8 GPE stuck on bootloader

Hi everybody
I have a M8 GPE unlocked/un-rooted/s-on with stock 4.4.4 and today i said that I will not wait for the OTA to come, and decided to flash it myself.
When going to recovery i saw that there is no option to adb sideload a file, strange, so I booted in TWRP (not flashed) and tried to sideload from there. I could not make the ADB sideload work in TWRP also because of some errors, and I tried the install zip option. When flashing the OTA zip I got an error saying that the required version is *4.4.4* and that i had *4.4.2*. I know for sure that I had 4.4.4 because i got the update myself and apply it automatically from within android.
Trying to do a factory reset in TWRP in order to try again the OTA zip file, i wiped the system partition (my bad) and since then i am stucked in bootloader/recovery without any way to boot into OS.
I tried to reboot into RUU and flash RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5.zip, but i get the error (probably because i am s-on):
Code:
target reported max download size of 1830617088 bytes

Anybody can tell if there is any way to flash the stock image on the phone?
As I understood I could do s-off only from OS, and for me that ism not possible
Thanks for the help in advance,

Please help, I don't understand why it's not unlocked. I have magic CID, and flashing ROMs is no problem, only recovery won't flash for some reason.
EDIT:
So I've managed to get TWRP on it by upgrading my ROM to Android 4.04 and then installing the TWRPManager apk. I'm surprised it worked, gave me an error while flashing, but when rebooting into recovery everything seemed fine.
The problem still isn't solved though: I still cannot flash my recovery via USB with the fastboot executable. Please help?

HTC Desire 300 Bootloader loop or Freeze on logo with 7 vibrations

Hello as in topic.
I cant fix this. When i turn the phone on there's logo and 7 vibrations and phone hangs out.
If I use VOL DOWN + POWER and run Fastboot phone is recognized by windows and cmd fastboot but when I go to Bootloader phone is not recognized (USB enumeration failed).
I have tried to upload a recovery with fastboot and to unblock bootloader by HTC Dev website (other devices) when I try to use .bin file there's Question If I want to unlock bootloader I can choose yes but when I use POWER nothing happens. Same with commands fastboot oem unlock / fastboot oem lock (there's only 3 dots . . . and nothing happens).
There's no code for this but I get signature verification failed response when I am trying to flash recovery.img. Without this I can't probably use TRWM or Clockwork recovery.
Code:
