[Q] Can't access Recovery when trying to load twrp topic

Hi Everyone,

First off I am a total novice and I put my hands up to say I should not have tried to root my phone. I merely wanted to root so that I could actually use the space on my SD card, which the HTC Desire doens't.

I did try to do this manually by reading a few guide and walkthroughs with no success. So then I used the sunshine app to unlock my bootloader and then WinDriod to load TWRP recovery and then hopefully root the phone. It does say ***unloacked*** on the fastboot menu. However, I sort of messed up my phone.

I cannot load into recovery mode - it goes to a HTC load screen then right back to fastboot usb menu.
I cannot install any new apps (though a couple did install after a restart)
I cannot factory restore the phone either.

Can anyone advise me how to return my phone to its normal state or advise on how to fix this problem?

Appreciate any help anyone can give me!
