Oh I never doubted you, I was just seeing if there was any problems I would run into when I go about it. Sorry if I made you think I didn't believe in you.yeah ive been "rootin' and rommin'" since the og droid... this isnt my first rodeo and i thought i was following OP very well until i got to the stock recovery and didnt know what to do from there. (you have to press both volume buttons simultaneously to install the 2 updates) so i did a battery pull erroneously thinking the phone was messed up. that is where i believe my problems started.
So when you went into stock recovery, and did you install both zip files from your SD card?
