Help Problems with my Triumphs

So I have two Motorola Triumphs right now. The first one I had for a while until I had to factory reset it because it kept reseting then it wouldn't work on virgin mobile's network, so I tried putting CWM on it and putting a new rom on it. Unfortunately that didn't work and I think I bricked my phone. Everytime I put it in download mode, my computer only shows the image drive for 2 seconds then it disappears. After this happened I bought a second one only to have it get wet. I had no common sense to take the battery out and probably fried the internals. Now all that phone does is sit at the motorola screen and occasionally turn on to a frozen lock screen. If anybody could help me revive either phone, it would be very appreciated.

So you are unable to boot to recovery on MT #1?

When I (meaning my wife) get a phone wet, I have had good luck removing the battery, and putting the phone above a lightbulb, so it stays very warm for a day or two.

It might be to late but the bag of rice trick works pretty good for drying out phones just take the battery out and put it in a bag of rice.

Ya the first phone won't boot to recovery because the recovery file is messed up. I have no way of fixing it because every time I connect it to my computer, the image drive disappears in a few seconds.

I tried the rice trick but it was too late on the second phone. I left the battery in too long thinking that it really hadn't got wet. Unfortunately I was wrong.

You should be able to fix that from Terminal Emulator on the phone, without a computer, if you want to try.
I have done it before.
