If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. I have a friend that is in need of my help fixing his Droid X. Basically, (my backround) I have a original Moto Droid which I have rooted and am very familiar with the root, rom, kernal process. He called me this last week and asked me about rooting his X, I tried to talk him through as much as possible, and referred him to this wonderful site, but alas
... he fragged it.
This is where he stands. He called me an told me that he had successfully rooted it (please realize that I have never actually had this phone in my hands) but apparently he HAD the superuser icon so I'm assuming that it was rooted. Then he tried to load a rom, and has now called me saying he thinks he has a bricked phone. Again, my background is only dealing with the OG droid, so I am not positive, but from what he is explaining to me, I think there is hope.
He said that the phone will go through proper boot sequence, powers on/ white "M" symbol/ red droid eye/ and the phone boots up. At this point, his screens come up, and he HAS the taskbar with the date, time, and battery icon at the top. THAT IS IT.... nothing shows on his screens, if he presses his menu button NOTHING just 3 blank screens with a task bar.
So my question is, can someone please help me fix this for him. I am assuming that there is a way to load another rom onto his SD card and restore from there. Does anyone have a link to a X file that may work. Or is there a better way to do this on a X? Being as I do not have an X myself I am looking for some advice on a down and dirty way to fix this for him.
Lastly, please assume I need the "help for dummies version" as that he lives more than an hour away from me and I do not want to make this an major ordeal, so if He has trouble after he leaves me I can refer him to this link.
Thanks so much,
Regards
