Hey I saw your pm and responded to it. Just saw that you posted for help as well. I went ahead and moved your post to it's own thread since it's your own specific problem. I will also post the help here so that others can benefit from your situation as well.

This is copy/pasted from the unlimited.io site:

ROM / Data Recovery:

There are three ways to recover your ROM. Try each one in until you succeed:
Open the cmd prompt that is located in your ControlBear folder where you unzipped all of the files.
Type the following cmds into the cmd prompt.
ControlBear -r (This is run with the phone at the JuopunutBear/Arrow screen) If this succeeds recovery is complete otherwise continue to Step 2.
ControlBear -f (This is run with the phone at the fastboot screen). If this succeeds you're done otherwise continue to Step 3.
fastboot flash boot boot_backup.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_backup.img (This is done with the phone in fastboot mode) If this succeeds continue to Step 5.
Boot the phone to android and install busybox from the market if not already installed.
adb push sdcard.img /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
$ su
# busybox dd if=/data/local/tmp/sdcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1 conv=notrunc
Reboot the phone.
If you cannot get the SD card to be recognized by the device even after doing the data recovery, you can reformat your SD card to a clean state using these instructions:
Install busybox
adb shell su -c "busybox fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1"
type o
type w
adb shell su -c "busybox fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1"
type n
select primary, then 1
choose default sizes
type w
adb shell su -c "busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1"


I hope this helps. Good luck!
 
And if your sdcard gets screwed up there were more commands from the troubleshooting part of the website that fixes it.

What do you mean? You just need to run ControlBear and it will run in command prompt. If you are on Windows, run it as administrator.
