FBW hyd failure

Hiya, I have been looking for a schematic but can't find one so I will go from the top of my head...
What happens if their is a complete engine failure on a FBW aircraft such as the 777 or A3x0? You lose the engine driven hydraulic pumps and the main buses therefore the electrical driven pumps also as caused by the engine failure, say due to fuel starvation. What happens if the RAT fails to extend? You are left without any hydraulics and their is no manual reversion. What do you do??? Aysemtric (SP?) thrust is out of the question (no engines!) so how do you stear the thing? Also do you lose the EFIS displays?
Cheers
