i rooted my friends sidekick 4g and he bricked it. i am trying to help him fix it. i am new to forums so if you let me know what info you need i will gladly post it. i do know he tried flashing the kernel and when it finished it wont go past logo screen
 
You'll have to boot the phone into download mode and reflash the stock factory firmware. There are methods for this on XDA, in the development section of the Sidekick forum.... look for threads on either Odin or Heimdall, the 2 methods for restoring factory firmware. I can post a link or two a bit later if you like.
