I think it was rather douchey of your friend to call you later on to tell you off. You were clearly apologetic and appalled by what happened and you made the effort to right the wrong, even if it didn't matter in the end. But it's not like you just blew him off intentionally or expressed indifference.

I think if he is really your friend, he will forgive you and move on. However, he will probably also assume that you simply cannot be trusted for anything ever again and will be reluctant to ask for your help in the future. Only you can make this better by earning his trust again. Offer to do something very helpful. Make commitments and over-deliver on them. Don't wait for him to ask you; take the initiative and propose something. But whatever you do, don't screw it up again!
