You presumably have a custom recovery (I don't think the stock one allows you to erase the system), in which case you should be able to run ADB when you are in that. That would let you sideload a ROM.

Or if you want to try an ruu it is fastboot rather than ADB that you need. As long as your bootloader is intact you just select fastboot from the hboot menu, connect to the computer and use fastboot to relock it. If it isn't responding the problem is almost certainly drivers on your computer, since the bootloader is the only thing that is needed on the phone for that.
