Problem Solved.

Verizon gave me a new phone. There was no way to recover it apparently.

 

doh. well congrats. you have a new unit now. hopefully this one survives better. did they say what caused it? or give you the generic device failure bs in essence saying they dont know?

 

Conversation went like this.

Me: Hi. My phone won't load past the M logo. It won't go into recovery, but I can get it into the bootloader, which gives me the error 2c.7c.

Him: Oh I can fix it it. I'll just get it into recovery and just so you know, we will have to wipe your phone.

Me: Sure. but I just told you it won't go into recovery.

Him: See you just hold the buttons like this... oh.. it went straight to the bootloader. Hold on.

He gets on the computer and I assume he searched the error code. 30 seconds later...

Him: Well we're going to give you a new phone...

I was there for all of 5 minutes. lol I asked what caused the issue but he said he wasn't sure.
