Hence my point to not be jumpy at doing something that will potentially brick your very $$$$ device.

Try HTC's website for a official ROM. Boot into boot loader a stated. Then run the OEM ROM. Then you will need to look on here and get the HARD_SPL or knwon as a 2X boot loader. I think helmi rom is a 3x rom if so you need the 3x HARD_SPL an SPL is the boot loader utility and unlocker upgrade. Then 3x version ROM's require a 3x radio upgrade not sure on the apache about that. If the ROM is a 2x you can use a 2x radio and 1x unlocker. You can check what version you are running on your phone under personal tab on your ppc after you get it running again with the OEM ROM.
