lol. Just flash the SBF with RSD Lite and start from scratch.

...and for the record, you're supposed to format data and cache when you install a new ROM, not format the SD card.

when you say format data and cache do you mean the 8g onboard memory?

It's the equivalent of a factory reset. Do a lil more research on flashing before trying again. I'll see if I can dig up some links to help you out some.
Btw, "Bricked" would be "not turning on".

For future reference, use the actual releasers instructions when flashing any ROM or other additions to your device. The instructions for flashing Liberty v1.5 are located right here in this very forum, at the top of the page in the Release Thread...first post.

Had you did that, you would have had step by step instructions from the Devs on how to get a flawless install.

Install:
make sure you have root and clockworks recovery installed
-boot into recovery via clockworks bootstrap
-select "wipe data/factory reset"
-select "Yes -- delete all data"
-go back "powerbutton"
-select "install zip from sdcard"
-select "choose zip from sdcard"
-find and select LibertyX/2-X.X.zip
-reboot

it was cycling through the boot animation(liberty) i can not get back to recovery its recovery you get thru rom manager cant remember if its that important i could figure it out and i let it sit trying to boot up for over 24 hours nothing... and its not seen by my comp. now it wont even go to the bootloader black screen im pretty sure the batteries charged unless it cant charge while trying to boot up or completely dead.

Put it in bootloader mode. Make sure it says battery ok. If it does, just sbf via rsd lite. If not, get the battery charged then sbf.

Holding home is to go into stock recovery, not the bootloader.

You need to hold camera + volume down + power to get into the bootloader.
