Red lense...? Green lense...? How did you flash it? What kernel...? Do you have access to the bootmenu... If not, do you have access to stock recovery...? Come on, dude... Be more specific, don't make us guess.

sorry

it's green lense, i flash it over custom recovery. I really don't know which kernel there is, i didn´t flash any new kernel, so i guess there is stock kernel. I can't get to the bootmenu, but i have acces to stock recovery.

EDIT: I realized, that there was flashed MIUI rom downloaded from official site (before trying update to ICS). I don't know which kernel this rom uses, so maybe there was gingerbread kernel. Before root and everithing, official Motorola's rom was froyo.

EDIT2:
I think that problem is here:

Nandroid Backup
This is just a .zip file flasheable with a Custom Recovery, this will Delete/Copy all the files in the /System and other partitions (depending on the Nandroid) without formatting or remaking the partition thus not modifying the system layout, eFuse or stuff; this is almost harmless, meaning you CANT brick your phone doing it, though you can make Android not boot and a new SBF or Nandroid would need to be installed.

(quoted from this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1216982)

question is how and which SBF should i install

As far as I saw, this is a Froyo based build, so you should be fine with the Froyo kernel you have from your stock ROM...

Go to custom recovery and wipe data/cache. If you are still unable to boot afterwards, you might need to flash a fixed or a full sbf.

Hahaha never flash someone else's phone, especially parents!! Because when this happens you are SCREWED :P

Above info is indeed correct, I have bricked mine to a similar state by using a badly coded app, I just flashed a full froyo 2.2.2 sbf as my custom recovery was broken, reinstalled recovery with the 2ndinit app and restored my backup, never had a problem since
