Try hard resetting again:
Hold both keys found above the begin and end call buttons, while sticking the stylus in the soft reset hole. You should see 'press y to restore..." Press y, then press space to reset.

thanks for responding brightedge, however, I tried this, it stays at the loading screen and does absolutely nothing, does this process take a couple hours or something?

No, it should only take 10s or so to get past the HTC screen. Try hard resetting, put the phone back into bootloader, then reflash either with wm6 or with the stock rom (preferably)? I would try that next.

<edit>
Also, which specific rom are you loading?

My GMail account is working better than all my others.
It allows me to receive HTML email & pics.
Looks awesome.
Make sure you have GMail setup for POP retrieval on their end.
Mine setup fine using the automatic process.

crimsonlung

did you do a hard reset as previously suggested. both soft keys+reset button?

the phone will ask you if you want to. you must press Y on keyboard and then press "space" bar to continue.

then load the rom you want.
