Root Stuck at late Gingerbread SBF/Root step.

What guide are you using? (got a link)

SBF Your Phone
-Unzip RSD Lite 5.4.4 and Install It
-Unzip .602 SBF File
-Install Motorola Droid X Driver File
-Open RSD Lite 5.4.4
-Select "..." Next to Filename box and navigate to the SBF file you unzipped and then select Open.
-Power off your phone and then hold down the volume down button, camera and power at the same time (should see a small flash on the screen immediately, then release all and you will be in the bootloader)
-Plug in your Droid X to your computer's USB Port and let the computer recognize it.
-Select "Show Device" in RSD Lite if you don't see your phone already and then Select "Start". The SBF Process will take about 10 minutes (do not SBF if you have a low battery, I always recommend doing it with at least 80% battery)
-When all is finished your phone will power off and back on... unplug it and pull the battery. Put the battery back in and hold down the home button while you power the device back on... keep holding the home button till you see a triangle with an exclamation point, then let go and hit both volume buttons at the same time to enter Recovery. Use the volume buttons to move down to "wipe data/cache" press the Power button to select then scroll down to "yes" and press Power again. When it finishes (2 - 3 minutes) select "reboot" using the Power button again.
-it will reboot and take a while to do so.

I got the phone a year ago, rooted it right away. It still had some problems and I figured I'd try the phone as it came from the factory, That also had problems but different ones. I figured I'd root it again. I figured I'd start over with a clean slate, even wipe everything off my SD card (hoping to be able to load all my music back onto it). It had a couple thousand pictures on there from the ROM I was running when I rooted it, Liberty I believe with some kind of Blue theme I liked.

Anyway, I figured I'd start over new, clean it all out, root it again and insert a new ROM. It went fine until the phone was suppose to go into "Reboot Recovery". The phone reboots, the Motorola M comes up and then it does nothing else. You can tell the back light is still on but it goes no further than that point.
