Help How to undo my idiot brother's damage?

I recently inherited my older brother's phone. Like the fool he is, he tried putting on a custom ROM a week before I got it. It went fine, but the THE DAY HE GAVE IT TO ME, he screwed something up. I have no idea what he did.
I can't use the phone at all, it just flashes the logo "b ROM 1.3". Heck, I can't even turn the thing off.
So my question is: is there any way to reverse this? I don't know much about phones, but I'll try whatever you can throw at me.

Do a search for doing a recovery boot. If you look through my threads I describe how to do it a few times....but this phone is such a flaming piece of crap I've blocked out much of what I knew about it. ;)

It's something like holding volume up, camera and power or something like that. Get closer to the answers through research, peek through my posts, and I'll try to answer if I can. I just don't have time to dumpster dive through my old threads at the moment.
