Search for hard reset, or factory reset. Same error message I got but I wasn't doing anything like rooting.

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...
