I don't know what they may replace it with, but if it won't boot at all they won't know its rooted. They will try the same things you did tonight and if it won't boot with a fresh battery its dead. At this point root is a moot issue. This sounds like a hardware issue, seems like something shorted out. I would just take it in and explain what happened....and they should be able to replace it under warranty.

Just FYI when I first got my droid at launch it had a faulty headphone jack, I rooted it and toyed with it anyway. I returned it under warranty with the Superuser app right there and noone said a word.... Now I know they aren't "supposed" to take it, but lets be honest here, they don't care. The contract is ALL they care about.

I've also returned a charger cable that I was spinning around like nunchuka and got messed up. No cost, no questions.


Oh, and to the OP. Sorry, but your Droid is toast.

I'm pretty sure that they wont give you a automatic upgrade, as they have full stock on the original droids, sorry. Now they are even giving the D1 as a new contract and for a 2 year contract it cost 99.00 for the phone, on a possitive side you will have it next day if you called 611 before like 5:00
