G2 Stuck at HTC screen and eMMC read error - Please Help!

[archos]

Hello!
A little while ago, while my Google G2 was updating the battery died, interrupting the process.
When I went to turn it on later, after having charged it, it would load the HTC screen and stay frozen there, unresponsive to button commands.

I pulled the battery out, went to the HBoot screen and tried to Factory Reset, but it would freeze.
Recently, I went to look for some ways to fix my phone and learned that you can update the system from the SD card. I found that I was able to access the recovery menu, so I downloaded an update package, put it onto my SD card labeling it as "update.zip" and I tried to apply the update, but it didn't work.
When I go the recovery screen and run the update I get these errors:
E: Can't mount /data/data/recovery/log
E: Can't open /data/data/recover/log
E:set_bootloader_message_block: emmc_read_data fail!

-- Install /sdcard ...
E:set_bootloader_message_block: emmc_read_data fail!

E:set_bootloader_message_block: emmc_read_data fail!

I'm a bit out of my depth when it comes to fixing the phone, especially if it involves fixing the eMMC. Is there any way around this problem? Am I loading the update from SD card incorrectly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you running a custom recovery?

Are you running a custom recovery?

wizzrah,

From what I understand custom recovery works only if you've rooted your phone. Which I haven't done and unfortunately, since I can't get past the HTC start up screen, I don't know how I would be able to do that. Is there a way to root the phone for custom recovery through the HBoot screen?

Thanks,
Archos

Can you access fastboot in the bootloader menu?

Can you access fastboot in the bootloader menu?

Yes, what should I do from there?
