hi everyone!
mine's a pretty long story so ill try and make it as short as possible w/ bullets!
- milestone bought in china (where there is no official release) hence it's a grey import
- phone was flashed (w/out my knowledge) with a custom chinese language rom, hence im assuming it was rooted
- i manually flashed with rds lite back to an official hong kong moto rom (2.0.1) so i could get english language back
- at this point still wasnt aware the phone had been rooted so did a straight flash without un-rooting and it worked fine
- a few days in i changed sim cards in my phone and things started acting odd. phone froze a little but came back on - put in pocket and when i pulled it out again it wouldnt boot up - only backlight would light - no splashscreen, no moto logo, no nothing
- did batt pulls, recharges and still nothing - the screen wont even blink (cept backlight)
i'm assuming that this may have something to do with the fact that i didnt unroot the phone before i put the stock rom back on the phone? is there anywhere back from this situation? i tried to connect adb to my phone to try to get into recovery but adb cant see the device...yet rds lite can when i boot with power+dpad up. so the phone is still in there somewhere! ive installed all the moto drivers but of course, am not sure my phone is set to debug mode as i cant access the system....perhaps that why i cant see it.
needless to say, i have no sprecovery or anything installed as i hadnt realised the phone was rooted earlier (my stupid oversight....) sigh
the only other person that displayed similar problems i found is on this thread - cept he eventually could access adb as he knew what he was doing previous to installing a stock rom over a custom one

before any of you tell me to take it back to verizon...i cant, as its not from verizon and there is no refund as its a grey import. the repair shop here in SH cant work out a way to fix it either....my last hope is here so pls let me know what i can do!
i love my droid
