Root Root help needed badly!

I attempted to root, and did so fine. So I said okay now reverse to make sure. It went and when it was all said and done using the second option, wifi would not engage. So I did factory reset, nothing. I came across a thread saying flash the kernal, so i did, with Hasoon200 method (which I rooted that way) Now I am stuck at the htc screen! I need this fixed please. After this I am not rooting at all, just need to get back to stock. Please please help.

teps:

- First, you are going to need to re-lock your bootloader.
- Boot into H-Boot by powering off. Once off, power back on and hold VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON, once in HBOOT go to "fastboot" and click the power button to select
- Download the adbfastbootrecovery zip and EXTRACT it to your desktop
- Go to your computer file explorer and find your desktop "folder", hold SHIFT and RIGHT CLICK, select open a command window here
- Run this code in the command prompt

Code:

fastboot oem lock
- Now reboot
- Now, we will flash you back to the original stock ROM you were on. There are two options for this, the second does NOT need a windows device.

FIRST OPTION (RUU)
- Pick the RUU for your specific device. For example, the one for AT&T has the word "Cingular" in it, the one for Rogers says "Rogers" in it.
- You will find the RUU's here FileFactory Folder view - Holiday (THANKS to user football)
- Once you download the correct RUU, make sure your phone is plugged in via USB to your computer and you have the correct drivers (or just HTC Sync) installed on your computer
- Run the executable and follow the steps to flash the stock ROM
- Once the ROM loads, you should be good to go
- If you returned to stock because of a bug or issue, and want to root again, make sure to go back and follow the steps PRECISELY to perm root, flash CWM, flash a ROM, flash a kernel, etc. Remember, flash ROM IMMEDIATELY after flashing the kernel

OR

SECOND OPTION (PH39IMG.zip flash)
- Put this file for AT&T or this file for Rogers on a microSD card as is (it should be named PH39IMG.zip)
- Power down the phone, insert microSD and boot back into bootloader (power button + vol down)
- It should automatically find the zip file and flash the stock image (this includes recovery, system, everything stock.)
- If you returned to stock because of a bug or issue, and want to root again, make sure to go back and follow the steps PRECISELY to perm root, flash CWM, flash a ROM, flash a kernel, etc. Remember, flash ROM IMMEDIATELY after flashing the kernel

I downloaded the RUU holiday BM file, to flash it hope it works..


Did not work, computer wont open it..... My wifi wont turn on with the PH39IMG.... i am screwed....

Download windows 7 x32 drivers for my phone and tried I guess an old verison of the RUU because it just said cannot use utility to update rom get correct version. So I am downloading the one on htc website. I have 4.0.3 on it now but superuser is there and wifi is no go. Ever time I try to flash kernel it boot loops. Need some help.
 
It is the htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe I am downloading.

So is there a way to downgrade the os to GB and then I do the RUU from HTC and flash it? Also does that flash the kernel?

The RUU from HTC is updating the phone. Fingers crossed.
