Hi.
If you could give more info on the state of the phone, you can get all of the help you need right here. Does it boot up at all, or is it totally dead?
Chances are an RUU would be the easiest way to fix it, seeing as how it is an unrooted device.

HTC is a different breed for sure. Different that any other Android OEM
Boot to bootloader and tell me what it says next to "OS"
To get to bootloader, boot up the phone by holding down power + vol down.
In bootloader use the vol buttons to navigate and power to select. You'll need to know that to reboot or power off the phone after checking the OS
