Flashed OJM's rom in TWRP, and now my phone won't boot at all. I can't find my NANDROID backup I made, and I cannot mount internal storage and when I plug it into my computer, it says that the internal storage needs to be formatted. Am I just screwed or what?

you have access to bootloader or recovery? Also, RUU is likely an option (last resort, of course)

does it mount the external storage in TWRP? if so why not just put a rom on that and flash it there?
Yes, I do. Currently downloading RUU atm
Yes it does, and I put one on and it just won't flash it. Keeps rebooting TWRP
why do you say that? some other people have flashed it and no problems...far as i read there.
Did you happen to be playing around with the kernel as well? and how was it flashed?
I hope your Blocks aren't bad nor un-writable, for the message given to you will not be able to fix.

Very easy fix
If you do not have custom recovery installed please google how to do it using Android SDK through fastboot.
The good thing about Android phones (and particularly HTC) is that short of dropping an actual brick on the phone it is really hard to "brick"it. I am yet to see one hopelessly dead.
This is in detail:
1. Boot-up into recovery
2. Mount internal storage
3. Connect to a USB port on a computer
4. Right click on the Removable Disk (X
where X could be any letter depending on your computer. Format. Done. Disconnect from PC.
5. From within TWRP recovery install the ROM you have downloaded and put on your External microSD card. Do not forget to select "Using External SDCard" before flashing.
I screwed up the same way the very first day I got the phone. The eMMC on this phone tends to get easily corrupted. The fix is extremely easy. Just click Format. Then Flash ROM. Done.

I think I'm in trouble. PLEASE HELP!

JEWEL PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT – 1.12.1111
Radio – 1.02.12.0427
Recovery – TWRP 2.2.2
ROM – CyanogenMod 10
I tried to upgrade to TWRP 2.3.1:
Download - Bootloader Method:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jew....1.0-jewel.zip
Download the file above and rename to PJ75IMG.zip and place it on the root of the sdcard. Boot into bootloader and accept the update. Boot back to the ROM and rename/remove the file
Everything went well and the update was successful. However, my phone is stuck in a boot loop – clocking on the Cyanogen boot animation (the word “CyanogenMod” in the middle of a circle going clockwise on the outside and counter-clockwise on the inside). I let it run as long as 30 minutes - - no luck.
I am able to long-hold the power button to bring me back to the Upgrade screen. If I hit yes <VOL UP>, it updates successfully and asks to hit power to re-boot. If I hit no <VOL DOWN>, the upgrade is aborted and I am asked to hit power to re-boot.
I‘m thinking my options are:
1. Try the “RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter” to get back to where I was
2. Try the 1.13.165.1 RUU to get back to factory and then re-root.
3. ???
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Gary

Did you put it on the internal or external? If you put it on the external card remove it and reboot to bootloader. This is why I tell people to flash recovery manually
I think I would try and return back to 2.2 since it was working great there and "restore", and find out for sure if my DL source was actually from TeamWin or if any compatible issue may occur with installing or upgrading to the new recovery.
Since you 1.12.1111(modified), just remember that you have to be stock 1.12.000 and s-on "if" you are thinking to go the RUU route.

As long as the update is on the card the bootloader will be stuck trying to install it and reboot or reboot if install is canceled so trying to downgrade is pointless and I don't know if ruu will even recognize the phone in the middle of an update
If the user has an update on the internal the bootloader will be stuck trying to update, no access to recovery
Great diagnosis bud, any ideas? Even with bootloader attempting to install, is fastboot accessible?
I FIXED IT. Thanks to Tekn010933, {ParanoiA} and om4. Since the new "PJ75IMG.zip" was on the card, it would continue to loop. I figured I would remove the sdcard. I knew there was a chance of corruption, but I removed it and got into TWRP. It was 2.3.1, but I reloaded 2.2.2., updated it to 2.3.1, clean full wipe, NAND restore and back in business.
This was the most scared I've been since I started rooting (my Hero, my OG Evo and my Evo 4G LTE).
WHEW!!!
