I was trying to restore my friend's gpe back to sense because they were having a lot of problems with the gpe install.

No matter what I do it willo boot to the htc screen with exclamation marks in each corner and if i unplug the phone from the pc i get a white bootloader screen it says software status: official
***unlocked***
m8_ul_ca pvt ship s-off
cid-bs_us002
some other stuff

RUU (in orange) last line

a paste of fastboot getvar all:

Can someone walk me through restoring this phone please?!? I'd be greatly appreciative.

fastboot commands still work with the phone but I don't know what to do

thank you all for your help
