Root Weird Issue Which may or may not be normal

Alright... so here's the long story short. I had this issue a long time ago and I posted on a here for help. Well like a few months. And I think I concluded what it is.

I ran the RUU thing, and I was following that one guide that's stickied and was suggested. And did all the steps and stuff, and AFTER I did the flashing the hboot thing with the jup bear or whatever, then I was no longer able to boot into the stock VM rom.

I don't know if this is normal behavior. The reason I ran the RUU was because I wanted to flash the stock rom, but each time I did it failed to start correctly. By failed to start correctly I mean I see HTC, then black screen momentarily, then phone is off. I did the RUU, and it was fine, but once I flashed the hboot, it did that weird thing again. Other roms seem to work fine. Sorry if this is a mess of thoughts but I need to figure out if it's normal behavior or not. I'm guessing it isn't.

Yup that's all I'm S-oFF btw if that matters. I think I was having this problem with S-ON too and that's why I ended up S-OFF'ing but I'm not sure if any of this is relevant. Thanks!

My phone works fine and stuff, and I don't plan on using the normal rom, but it bothers me that I can't run stock.
 
Sure!! I hope you didn't tldr, I'm sorry it was kind of vague. I'm using 4EXT, but the issue occurred with that other green one too. I don't think it's relevant, but I don't know anything. Um Bootloader let me see is this what you want:


JUOPUNUT BEAR with some equal signs
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.50.5050
RADIO-1.09.00.0108
eMMC-boot

HBOOT in blue
some vul up down power stuff
fastboot, recovery, fac reset, simlock, and image crc in that order.

So, you're trying to run a stock Rom?
If so you need hboot 1.57

Several 'stock based' custom rims, such as harmonia will work with 1.50

Does that make sense?
