I think the safe bet is to flash 219, 217 kernel, and update to 217 via recovery. I have a feeling flashing the 217 kernel without flashing 219 first fouled things up.

by the way, i flashed 217 using the link provided, but it wiped out my recovery partition. i couldn't boot into recovery to factory reset. i have managed to moto-flash the system partition by booting with the phone plugged into the wall charger. the fastboot mode said the battery was ok, and i instantly connected it to the pc and ran a moto-flash flash system system.img. i'm now able to charge my phone again. i'll leave the rest for the morning so i don't screw things up even more. thanks for your help, guys.
