Root Softbricked?

Rooted on BrokenOut 2.0 just turned on the phone because I'm selling it and it boots but I get a black screen but button lights are on.Any suggestions?
 
Well, I don't really know anything about your device... I looked around to see if I could find anything and didn't come up with a whole lot.

I'm a little confused as to what happened. So did it stop working after you rooted it? Or was it working after rooting it (and last time it was turned on), and now it just won't boot up this time?

First thing I would ask is if you have a backup that you can restore? Maybe that would get it in a working state again?

I looked for an RUU but did not find anything. Is there an RUU for this device? Maybe someone can answer this for me??

Maybe unrooting would help? I found a guide HERE that includes unrooting steps as well as some downloads.

That might be something to look into if nobody else can offer a definitive answer. I will also check around to see if I can find anyone to come assist you in this thread.

Wish I could be more help but that's all I could come up with for you :/

Hmm. Maybe something happened in the wiping? Can you boot into recovery and flash the rom again?
