Help Required - Stuck and splash

[Raven2k]

Greetings.
This is a long (and sad) story, take a breath..

Me and my wife both have Sensation for over two years.
Mine is Revolutionized s-off etc for a very *VERY* long time...
Her Sensi was stock till some stock apps drove her mad and a couple of months back I got it HTC dev unlocked, with 4ext, but JB method for s-off (with the wire trick) was giving me a hard time, so I just kept it s-on and tmp rooted, killing some stock apps.

Now the mess begins.
After some complaints that it's slow and gets stuck, I wanted to add some nice kernel to the pack - Sebastian's.
Since it's s-on, I picked "SmartFlash" BUT completely forgot about USB-Debugging...

So flashing the kernel made a whole mess, and it's stuck on splash. Also fastboot-usb is impossible as the usb-debugging is off.

I know.. I know.. RUU right?
I'm on Linux - which makes running RUUs virtually impossible...
Nonetheless, I extracted the rom.zip out of an ruu_pyramid_le_ics_35_s_htc_asia_wwe_3.32.707.110_r2_radio_11.69a.3504.00u_11.23.3504.07_m2_release_254511_signed.exe I had around, renamed it PG58IMG.zip - and with all the joy put it on the root of the SDCard.

The phone's CID is HTC__044 and it matches the one in the RUU rom (asia wwe).
But.. hboot, while taking its time to figure out what that PG58IMG file contains.. does nothing at all once it process it.

Current situation - I restored my wife's backup on my phone, and gave it to her, leaving me with.. a semi-brick.

I could not find an RUU for 3.33.707.51 which was the version on the phone prior to this fiesco, if you know where to get it - please let me know..
Other than that I know this is solvable, as I am able to get into recovery and hboot, but how?

Phone details:
HBoot 1.27.0000
CID HTC__044
4ext recovery touch
Firmware 3.33.707.51
Radio 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M
Stock Rom & Kernel

Why fastboot usb is not possible? Usb debugging is not at all required for fastboot command access

Do this
Extract the boot.img of any rom which has sebastian kernel as default (elegancia rom i think?)
Then copy it to your adb/fastboot folder of your pc
Then boot your phone to bootloader (remove battery, reinsert it then hold volume down + power button)
then connect the device to your pc (as your pc is linux.. It's more easy now.. No need to fetch drivers and all)
When connection is proper the phone says fastboot usb.. If it says hoot.. Press power button once
Then this command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Would fastboot commands would work for an s-on device?

Yes if it's htcdev unlocked upto certain extent where flashing boot.img is indeed permitted
