Default Atrix will not boot

I am returning the Atrix back to factory so I did a factory reset from the phone, but it's not booting into the phone now. It stays stuck at the AT&T rethink possible logo.

Im pretty sure this was caused by the root. Anyway to get it to boot again?

Returning the phone back to AT&T, not liking the phone. I will never buy another AT&T branded phone.

EDIT: I forgot to unroot the phone, that's what caused it..

He's not blaming it on att, he says he doesn't like the phone.

I think there is a post in dev section listing possible key combinations for "extra" boot menu/options. Maybe one of them can help. I havent tried any of them so I can be sure. Try plugging it in to a wall for a while powered off. Maybe pull the battery and charge it for a few minutes and try again. I am having trouble getting mine to boot at all because the battery drained.

i "think" he just didn't read instructions right, bricked his phone, and now just doesnt like the phone, and hes done with ATT. that was my interpretation.

I am not blaming AT&T. I simply don't like the phone and forgot to unroot the phone before I did a factory reset. Now I hate it more that its bricked Maybe I should just bring it to a store and return it since they don't usually check to see if the phone is working.
