[Q] Help!!! Tried to root the phone , now phone won't boot.

Hi all,

This morning I tried to root my brother phone by using the "1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery.".

Link

After downloading the zip file, copied it onto the external sd card, I applied the update from external storage. Now, my brother phone won't boot.

I am here to visit and now my day is stuck trying to fix this.

Here are two things that I should have done in hind sight.

1. I should have backup his contact information.
2. I should have check his ROM versiion (i.e. ICS or Jelly Bean).

Now, the only thing that I can do is getting into "Philz Touch 5".

I could do backup and restore.

Here are two questions that I have.

1. Is there way I can backup the contact in "Philz Touch 5"? Is this include in the "data" backup.

2. Can recovery this back to previous unrooted "kernel" or origninal kernel.

It seemed that I can also run "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in Kies. It prompted me for the model and serial number and it asked whether I want to proceed. But that would wipe everything.


EDIT: I just tried KIES's "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" and it failed. The pop up with a message in "square boxes". I guess it failed doing "Firmware Upgrade and Initialiation." :[


Please, any advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
