somebody help me...i rooted my droidx and everything was goin cool. and i did NOTHING wrong (accept root it) . Then i was tryin to add a new boot animation. and i went into astro file manager, and i tapped SD. then my phone just shut off completley for no reason. and now it wont turn on. Whenever i put my charger in,a green LED glows, but it wont boot and ive tried everything... HELLLPPP MEEEE!!! do i go to verizon, will they know i rooted it? MY DADS GONNA KILL MEEEE!!!!
its ok, bring it in to verizon, its the screen(its broken), happens sometimes, they wont be able to tell its rooted and theyll fix it(by giving you a new Droid X) since it was not your faultQuote:

There's a help forum you might find better help.

Oops. I misread your post. You never got this far. It does sound like a hardware issue, screen or otherwise. Sorry i posted before i woke up good. Try the battery pull at least. Maybe plug it in with your adapter too. If nothing still, sounds like a bad display.
Is it getting stuck at the Motor M or doing anything at all? Contrary to what I've read elsewhere, I've had my phone boot loop from a bad boot animation (but then I've been experimenting.) ;)
Do you have the Android SDK and a custom recovery installed? Busybox? We need to rename or delete the animation. I know there's something tricky to getting it into recovery mode with the d2 and dx, but if you can get it there you'll be fine. Using the SDK, open a cmd prompt and type:
(Once in recovery, mount your system in mount options.)
cd <sdk install path>\tools
adb shell
(choose one of the next two lines depending on where you placed your animation.)
cd /data/local
cd /system/media
# busybox mv bootanimation.zip bad.bak
Now that the boot animation is renamed, exit out, unmount system, and reboot your phone.
Good luck.
