My Droid X Phone is Bricked, Dead, and Won't Charge!

I have a droid x that has a dead battery and it is bricked. I tried to unbricked it but the battery is dead. I plug into a wall charger and it turns on first it show the M logo then it shows a battery with a '?' on it (like the phone does has no battery in it). I have a battery in it but why is it not reading. So I left it over night to see if it charges still and it does not charge. I tried to plug it into the computer and wait to see what happens but 10-30 min. later the M logo pops on for a min. then goes black again with the green led light again. I don't know what is wrong with it... But I want it unbricked, working again, and can charge again too. So I need help PLEASE! :(
 
You need to find somebody with a factory / programmers cord. The other alternative is a charged battery, for it sounds like your battery is toast.. especially if it is slightly bulging. I doubt that your phone is truly bricked, because you do get something when you turn it on. I don't know if it's possible, but have you tried to put it into fastboot mode while plugged into the wall?
 
Just had the same thing happen. Took it to Verizon store and they couldn't charge it either. Mine was only 5 months old so I had to call Moto's customer care line. They let me order a new phone right away while arranging for me to send them the old one. Even if you didn't buy insurance, the warranty is one year.
