Hi there, I'm relatively new in terms of anything phone-related, so I was hoping that the more experienced people here could try to help me with my issue.
My phone is an EVO 3D (Rogers GSM). A while back, I decided to try and root my phone (I had the ICS update at the time). I managed to S-OFF it and later unlock it, but I had a lot of trouble rooting the phone through conventional guides.
In trying to root my phone, it became stuck in a boot loop that would cause it to turn on, flash the HTC logo, but then turn off and repeat the process. This was a really annoying issue for me, that I couldn't resolve until as a last-ditch effort, I managed to install a stock RUU and fix the problem.
Finally, I was able to root the phone last week. But as soon as I did so, it began performing erratically again. This time, the phone would turn itself off and turn back on (and repeat the process infinitely) if I left it alone for 5-7 minutes.
I tried everything I could think of to fix the problem, even wiping the partition caches/dalvik drives and factory resetting it multiple times. But even with all that, it wouldn't resolve the issue. I heard that the SD card could've been the root of the problem, but even after taking it out the problem still occurs. I've also tried factory resetting it without the SD card, but to no avail.
So I decided to install my first ROM; Viper3D (1.0.0-Multi-8_14).
I was successful in installing it, and the new software was great, but unfortunately, the issue still carried over. Unless I was constantly doing something on my phone, the phone would shut reboot after 5-7 minutes. And it would keep repeating without end. More factory resets would not do anything, and I find myself unable to install Stock ROMs now.
A sort of "temporary" fix (when I want to keep the phone on for a bit) is to keep the music player playing. As long as a song is playing (even if the volume's off), the phone won't reboot.
Nothing else works.
To summarize:
I'm really at my wits' end here, and I hope that some of you can help me with my problem. If you have any further questions you need answered before you can help me, by all means ask.
(Also, I'm not sure if this has any bearing on the issue, but my HBOOT downgraded after the root from 1.58 to 1.49. Could that be related to my problem at all?)
Thank you very much for your time.

To summarize:
- Rogers EVO 3D GSM
- Had ICS installed before root
- Rooted, now phone is stuck in irreversible restarting pattern
- Problem persists even without SD Card
- Now using Viper3D ROM, but the problem remains
- Could really use some help
