Here's what the phone says:
SHOOTER xc SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.50.0000
eMMC-boot

I have access to clockwork recovery through the screen. Can someone please advise on what I should do next. I don't want to screw up this phone any further. Thanks.

which guide did you specifically follow?....my guide is for hboot 1.30 & 1.40 only...

For hboot 1.50, follow this guide:

HTC Super Tool

or via HTC unlocker...

I followed the HTC Unlocker the 2nd link. I've had this phone sitting for over a year now and I wanted to stop using my 4g; so I followed the guide and did an update OTA (i didn't activate the phone just in case something goes wrong), and then followed the methods to unlocking and rooting the phone. Now when I load the Viper rom it just keeps rebooting. Is there a rom I can use that would just get the phone to work?

I'm no expert on hboot 1.50 & the unlock/root process, but I think your issue may be due to the kernel in his ROM. Try flashing a stock rooted ROM, Karl has then here:

I tried this; did it through recovery and the phone booted up fine but right after the Sprint logo, it shuts off.

Karl, I installed the Viper from recovery also.

i know you flashed threw recovery, you do know that to flash a kernel or a rom with kernel you need to go to fastboot then from fast go to recovery right?

I think so...
with the phone off
hold down power and vol down
at the screen select recovery and load the rom from there

correct?

[Karl]

yea, did you check the md5 of the file? and recovery you using? did you use wipe all before flash?

[mta2]

I am using Revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4
I don't know how to check the md5 file
Just to be clear with the wipe:
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache

I thought it was wipe after flash? Does it matter?

Thanks for your help so far

[Karl]

no its wipe before flash
you can wipe with this
