Hello everyone.

My problem is that when I tried to install the leaked Gingerbread but after I installed the one of the parts the phone rebooted and it's stuck on the red M logo. I can't get to anything but the Bootloader but I don't know what to do after that. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it :)
 
Pull battery put it back in, hold home and power for about three seconds, there will be a exclamation point with a triangle around it, hit both volume buttons at the same time, then select wipe/data factory reset with power button, let it finish and reboot. That should do it. If it doesn't, then you will need to SBF via RSD Lite

^ I can't get to that. I can only get to the BootLoader but it says my battery is low. I have a Mac if it narrows the fix options down.

if you can get to the Bootloader screen you can SBF back to Froyo...unfortunately you're going to have to get some power to your phone...your choices are...

1. Take your battery down to a Verizon store...ask them if they will allow you to charge it
2. Find a friend that has an X...see if he will charge your battery, or swap with you while you flash
3. find and buy a stand alone charger for batteries so you can charge the battery without the phone
4. get your hands on a "motorola factory cable": which is going to require either making one, or buying one for like $50...

THEN...you're going to need either a Windows/Linux partition on your mac...or a friend with a Windows/Linux PC...
