OK I was playing a game and it froze on me.Complete lock down. Also Earlier I had removed like two possibly important system apps. Anyway I popped the battery and went to turn it back on and now I'm stuck at the android screen. Ive tried everything ,literally almost everything I can think of to fix it.. Ive cleared cache,data, even the carrier data, ,Ive tried installing custom roms, installing stock roms, installing avid roms , lol. Nothing works it all fails verification. I can only access original stock recovery and ftm mode, I think i was in download mode too , is that the one where the screen is completely black? I don't know if there's a way to access boot loader mode ,but if there is that might help. Pretty much I need a fix if there even is one. Oh ya and i cant get USB to connect while in stock recovery.Best Ive gotten is FTM and it recognized it was USB but it still didn't know what kind of device. So still wasn't able to push or pull any data. Ill try anything guys. Any, and all help is needed right now please.
 
hey i have an idea which im pretty sure would work. i know for sure that the avid 4g root process still works on my phone as messed up as it is, im still able to put it in FTM mode and run the process. NOW if someone can replace those scripts with a custom or stock firmware i could run the same process in FTM mode and instead of rooting, i could install some fresh firmware.
