Problems with HTC Flyer...not sure what to do

This topic was originally about what I should do with my HTC Flyer (Wifi, HBOOT 1.11.0011), and for the time being I'm trying to use it as best I can - but I've come across a major problem. It came with the original GB out of the box, and because I thought I wouldn't be rooting it or whatever, I updated to the latest HC version. Everything ran fine. I tried two HC ROMs after HTCdev-unlocking it and rooting it, everything was working fine, and then I tried switching to Dexter's JB ROM without reading the part about having S-Off, and I've had a lot of issues since then.

At the moment, it boots Cool3D Honey...partially. Wifi doesn't work (simply says "Error"), and hardware buttons don't work. Any attempt to go back to a stock HC ROM (through any of the methods I've seen - ARU Wizard, fastboot adb, bootloader flashing) gives me a blank black screen after the initial white HTC screen. It seems like in this current state, I can't get S-Off to flash the proper radios and whatnot. I somehow managed to downgrade from the latest CWM recovery to Revolutionary, honestly not sure how that happened.

Suggestions, particularly for something that can be done without access to a computer (at least for the next three or so hours)? I saw in a similar topic that the person was able to solve it with a goldcard method, but I can't try that until later tonight. In the meantime, I have basically every file downloaded I can imagine on the microSD card in my Flyer.

Finally managed to un-brick my Flyer - to those interested, it turns out I had a Brightstar Flyer, so I had to look across the web to find downloads for the RUU's (as the ones in the main topic for them didn't have both active). After that, I followed this guide:

From that point, I had the original Gingerbread properly installed and followed standard procedure to get Revolutionary S-Off and upgraded it to HC using the Wifi HC ROM in this topic, through the bootloader:
