Hello and welcome, TheDizzy101.

Well, first of all let's get your posted question to the Gio All Things Root area for some input by other users of that device who have rooted (I just moved the thread for you to that sub-forum).

Next, let's do a search for that file; perhaps there's a download for it somewhere, but I'm thinking that you may need to flash a different ROM. Let's see what others say about that.

I don't blame you for feeling terrible about accidentally messing up your great phone. I've done that a time or two, as have many others who like to root. ;)

Keep in mind one thing: if it turns on it is fixable, even if it's just a blue screen. :)

The remedy usually has to do with getting another ROM and/or kernel in there, and that can be done. Please read around this All Things Root sub-forum, you'll see threads with issues like yours. Also read in the Root Guide here:
