Root Cannot get past bootloader

Hey guys!

I have ran into a issue while trying to root my Droid. I was following the sticky and the first time I used RSD and loaded SPRecovery 2.1 SBF it failed. I got a Critical Error DEA1. I then booted the phone and ran the file again and it completed this time. My issue now is I cannot get past the
bootloader
2C.7C
Battery OK
OK to program
Transfer mode: USB

I have powered down and held X each time and never get past this screen. I then went into the section on putting the stock OS back and I get the same issue. Is there anything I can do? I have been searching the forms, but I cannot find anything.

Try pulling the battery and letting it sit for a few minutes. If it still goes straight to the bootloader then flash the 2.0.1 sbf file.
