so far I believe the root and s off REQUIRES adb. someone can chime in if this is not correct.

Do you have one of the ~400mb Pg01img files on your sd card? If so you might be able to go into fastboot in your phone and update to this.
Device = HTC ThunderBOLT
ROM = Changing...
Kernel = Imoseyon v(whatever's current) Undervolt

If not, he could just mount his SD card on a computer externally and put the RUU file that he needs onto the SD card, and flash it from there. But without more information about what he was doing... kinda hard to say.

Getting the ruu on the sdcard and then fastboot would be the best way to start over.
Find a PG05IMG.zip that's stock with s-on, place it on root of sdcard boot to fastboot and should put you back to stock unrooted s-on.
