Okay weird, I requested that this thread be deleted but it's still up.
Turns out when I got to see the phone, all I had to do was plug it in and it turned on *facepalm*. My mom though claimed she has tried 2 outlets at her work and neither would charge the phone but I tried an outlet in our house and it turned on charging. The battery was dead so that was the issue. :-[
Thank you guys for your replies and was hoping this thread would get deleted before people made posts on it.
As for Poizhan, firstly I didn't want my mother having a phone with an annoying loud boot sound, nor did I want her phone being slowed down and having wasted memory with all the preinstalled Virgin Mobile apps. I had her consent to root it. And I know how what a PRL is and how to install one. I installed a PRL on my own phone way before she even got hers so I'm not stupid (except for making this thread when it was just because of a dead battery
).
If a mod ever comes along this, please delete this thread. Thanks.
