Root Liberty ROM Installation help

OK so I have an Android X (version 2.2.1) and using Titanium Backup, I somehow accidentally uninstalled my Text Messaging 2.2.1 app and havent been receiving texts since. I found out that installing a new ROM would reinstall it for me, and decided on Liberty. So I installed the Liberty Toolbox from the Android Market, and selected Download then Install, and it reboot. However, I cannot notice a difference at all after the reboot..
I've also had this same issue with installing other ROMs via the ROM Manager as well.

What am I doing wrong?

once you download the liberty 2.0 rom (IF ROM MANAGER JUST REBOOTS THE PHONE WITHOUT INSTALLING THE ROM)
open droid x bootstrapper
Reboot Recovery
Install Zip from SD Card
choose zip from sdcard
and go to the liberty folder that was created when you downloaded from the toolbox
open the Roms, folder
and download the file thats there
should be doubleox.zip
and when its done installing go back to main menu of bootstrap recovery by hitting your back button, and reboot phone
you can them open the tool box back up (if your text messaging app isnt reinstalled) (which it should be)
and go to Rom Manager (from the Liberty Toolbox(Dontated))
and select download rom, scroll passed the rom, and the fc fix, and the themes, and all your apps will be listed there, and download the one you are missing

IF installing the liberty rom didnt fix your issue

Ok, so I decided just to do a hard reset (held Power & Home buttons, then selected "wipe data/factory reset"), just to start new from scratch (and hopefully my Text Messaging would be back).
However, now when I boot my phone up and unlock it, all I see is a blank (black) screen, and none of the buttons seem to do anything.. The only thing that seems to work is 1) receiving calls, 2) the web browser (via voice command), and 3) the pull-down notifications window (which is pretty much empty).

Why is this?? Is there a way to re-install the stock ROM?

Because you deleted certain system apps, a restore that way is not possible IIRC. If you want flash the SBF and you can start from scratch.

Or if I were you, I'd follow the directions posted above and play with Liberty.

The text messaging app didn't appear in your app drawer? Or downloading an alternative didn't fix your problem? Or both?
Seems like both. I already had the Handcent app at the time I uninstalled the Text Messaging app, and I've tested it by sending myself a text message but didn't receive it.

The question is whether he's just missing the application to access his SMS messages, or if he has some kind of system problem.
Well before this whole system problem cropped up, I was able to access my old SMS messages via Handcent, just couldn't seem to send/receive further messages.

Well I followed the instructions (I found via a Google search) for flashing using SBF: 1) Downloaded the Motorola USB driver (MotoHelper_2.0.40_Driver_4.9.0.exe), RSD Lite 4.9 (RSD_Lite_49.zip) and the SBF file (VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf), then 2)turned off Android, plugged in the USB to my Windows 7 computer, and booted into the bootstrapper menu. And then 3) I opened RSD Lite as Administrator and selected the SBF file, but the Start button remains inactive.

when you install the new liberty 2.0 *note you have to purchase the donate version of the liberty toolbox from the market*

once yo download the rom if it doesnt install from the rom manager toolbox
if you go to droid x bootstrapper and when you look for the file to install, go to the liberty folder
look in roms
and its labeled doubleox.zip
it wont say zip i dont think, just doubleox
