Root Phone No Longer Loads

Hi Guys. I'm new to the forum and I'm currently in a crises so I figured I would try to get help before I call this quits.

I currently own a Droid Razr Maxx.

I had installed eclipse (gingerbread) on my phone. It was running great.

Yesterday, my friend wanted to switch it to ICS since there really was no reason for me to continue running on GB when there is a newer version. So I let him take my phone and this is what he said has happened:

He unrooted my phone. Then he cleared my data and cache....
Then he downloaded Matts Utility 1.7 (I think) and he did the first option which is Full Fastboot to ICS 6.16.211 Stock. However, now when I turn my phone on... it just goes into the initial "Dual Core" screen. Then it just goes to black and stays there.

I tried to go into recovery and update.zip with a file i have saved on the SD card called VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_M1-2_1FF_01.zip.

It just says install /sd
and nothing really happens.

Im really not sure what happened at this point, pissed at my friend lol, and mad at myself for letting this happen when my phone was running fine. Any suggestions? Should I take it to Verizon? I'm not really a phone guru but I can follow along any suggestions.

Seriously Ill pay someone if this can get fixed :(. All suggestions help...
 
Don't take it to Verizon as your warranty is likely void. Boot into stock recovery and clear data and cache one more time and try to boot up, if not use the utility(which is actually 1.82) and retry the option to install ics to your phone.
