Is there any possibility that he could have installed Cwm for the wrong phone? Maybe try reinstalling Cwm touch or something to correct whatever..?

Reinstalling cwm can't hurt. Unfortunately I have no idea what is wrong with your phone so you may as well.

edit2: If you don't have a cwm backup (shame on you lol), you can find a stock cwm backup at the bottom of the first post here
lol...no doubt on that "shame on me" tag...i gotta at least wear that
trying the backup now...crossing fingers
EDIT: so i need to copy the files in the zip to /data/media/clockworkmod/backups..not the zip right? i had to create the path...sigh i need to work on my backup stratagy
EDIT2: yeah im getting an MD5 mismatch error...its not letting me do an advanced restore. i guess ill have to try installing a different CWM
Do I flash this in cwm or unzip and install apk in system/app?
