What recovery are you using? SPRecovery or ClockworkMod? If it Clockworkmod press the power button once and everything should show up.

He's probably not using either. It sounds like he's in stock recovery. He needs to flash one of the ones you mentioned. That's my guess at least.

Ok it's not flashed properly. Are you still stock + root?

When you flash recovery it will only stick for one reboot until you flash another ROM or flash the update.zip file here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html

Using RM to flash recovery doesn't always work. I suggest you give it another shot.

Depends if you want a Froyo or GB ROM.

Some really awesome GB ones are:

Liquid
CushZero
SS Gingerbread
Project Elite

A very solid Froyo build is Droid Concepts. I'm sure there's plenty more. Not every ROM or kernel works best on every phone. They're all different.

whats the difference between froyo or gingerbread?

Froyo is Android 2.2 and Gingerbread is Android 2.3 which is more updated. I suggest running Gingerbread first (ie. Liquid Rom, CushZero, Simply Stunning) , see how you like it. Froyo requires less memory so if you encounter memory issues on Gingerbread, use a froyo rom (ie. Project Elite 4.2, Droid Concepts, Bugless Beast, Sourcery)
