Search for hard reset, or factory reset. Same error message I got but I wasn't doing anything like rooting.
 
Noob question but I dont know what bricked means. and any word on 2.1 update?
 
Uhhh.....Its hard to understand you.
i know cause it's hard for me too to understand what my brother actually did!! im just telling you what he did telled me..but looks he got stuck in that tutorial in some point..and now the phone does not want to run..now the sd is completely clean..what should i do then?
 
Sucks. Should have had sprecovery. That's. What its for. Hope he has insurance

the thing is in norway it is not announced here so we boughted from people that did sell them from america..or i think this one is from france or so.still if gets into recovery i think there is a chance to fix it..
 
It is your phone and you don't really have a brother?

I suggest telling your "brother" to look here Droid Hacks - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

and use the search function here Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum - Search Forums
I own a nexus one..my brotehr must sleep cause have work so now i try to fix it..and i really don't know much about android even i had hero before but never tryed to root it or such things.


Without SPRecovery, you (or your brother) might be in some trouble.

Are you from another country? I'm curious because if you are, nobody should be giving you a hard time. If you are an American, well...
