well i just bought this phone yesterday and went ahead and tried to factory reset it. while in the process of doing that i thought the phone froze so i did possibly the dumbest thing you could do.. take the battery out. it will no longer cut on. it does nothing. what must i do to bring it back to working order?

It literally does nothing. i called verizon and they said my phone was bricked. They said i had to re install the droid programming onto it. I'm not sure how

not likely no, you need a TBH factory cable adapter
if firmware is corrupted/incomplete, that phone will not charge, the TBH adapter will allow the phone to boot to rsd support mode, so you can flash a sbf (firmware) with rsd lite
