I Install The Rom and It Gets Stuck On The HTC Screen Every Time.. It However Now Installes V2.7 When Before I Did all The Updating It Wasn't Able To Do. I'm No Expert But I'm Guessing That It Has Something To Do With The Kernel Being Different and Me Having S-On??

Racincason, I believe your issue is related to hboot 1.50. I know 1.50 users need to follow different flashing instructions, see Karls post below to see if u are flashing correctly.

How to Flash Any ROM or Kernel You Want
You can get recovery to flash kernels for you, you just have to have fastboot boot up recovery for you. It's very simple really, and thanks again go to Brandas for pointing it out. I'm just putting it here for everyone to use.
This method will allow you to simply flash any ROM you choose without extracting any boot.img's and worrying about flashing from recovery and then going to fastboot. It's kind of a one stop shop for all ur needs.
To do this, you need to have already followed the instructions in the first post. So you are rooted and have the necessary files for adb installed. You should also have your ROM or kernel of choice on ur sd card.
This is also assuming that the recovery.img you downloaded from the first post is still in your sdk tools folder. If it isn't, now is the time to put it back there.
Now, all you have to do is get back in ur command prompt from ur sdk tools folder and do,
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once it says fastboot usb, you can do,
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Now it will boot you into TWRP and you can flash whatever kernel you like, or just flash a ROM with a custom kernel already built in. It all works and everybody's happy.
