Problem with a friend

I'm military and I made a promise to a freind to fix his bionic up to standard. He's running old gingerbread latest update and he's been having some serious problems. So, I promised to fix his phone and update it. I've tried OTA update which failed multiple times, then I tried a manual update through the recovery program and still got error 7. He's infantry and needs something that is simple and works.
When that failed I started going through his file system and found a gmail account that was not related to him and a superuser that was active and he had no idea of. Basically he has really angry exes and I just figured they rooted his phone to monitor his email and other crap. He has no gmail account but something weird was synced to his phone when I asked him and he had no knowelfge of it. Factory reset failed and clearing cache failed, even with manual.
My only other option is to SBF him to his current operating system and then update him to ICS, he's infantry and has no idea what superuser even means so I'm basically just trying to update his phone to current and make it usable for the next 6 months until he updates.
What I want to do is deodex his system and give him a stock no bloat system and move on. I just can't update the thing it keeps failing. I'm very experienced with the Droid X and Razr I just want to get this right and if I can just SBF him to the current system and load a stock deodexed rom with some benefits.
The only reason I'm asking is that I'm unfamiliar with the bionic and I don't want to brick his phone. I'm just asking for a point in the right direction. Just double checking.
Thank you in advance

i would back up his contacts. Rsd Back to that version of GB. then goto ics via the ota. did you try rsd to ics?
Don't need to do that. Just use the FXZ for 246. It'll update any version to 246. Contacts should be backed up to their google account.
