RSD is a last resort, you should have booted into recovery and restored a back up. Also play with your d-pad a little, to make sure it is not sticking in the up position. Then try charging it.
Well this is the closest I think anybody has come to being "bricked" I know its not. I just need to some how charge my battery (I hope) and redo the RSD. Does anybody know if it dying in the middle of flashing could have permanently bricked it? Thats my only fear.

The term "Bricked" means your Droid will do nothing. If your Droid does something, then you are just in a jam.

Yeah thats why I put it in quotes. I know its a touchy word. There is somewhat of a fear that I am because of it stopping mid flash. Im hoping I just need a charged battery to finish the job. Its weird that it wont charge though. Ive had it hooked up to my computer for 5 hours and it still says battery low. It wont do anything when I have it plugged into the wall outlet.

You don't know anyone with a Droid, so you can finish with a charged battery? If you can't get out of bootloader to charge it, that might be your only option.

On the bootloader screen I get an error "code corrupt" and below that flashing is low battery and cannot program. like i said im 98% sure im not bricked but the fear is there.

No worries, I've got the code corrupt before. You should be fine, if you can just get the battery charged.

Well thank you for your wise insight sir. It is a load off my mind. Maybe ill just buy an extended battery tomorrow. Ive been thinking about it anyway
Don't charge off your computer. It doesn't have the juice you need at such a low state.
There is a safety mechanism the prevents the phone being turned on when it hits a certain level of juice and powers off, I believe it has to be brought back up to 15% before it can be turned back on.
Plug the phone into the wall.
I have seen many threads on this and plugging it into the wall should give you a better go at a charge. The USB port only puts out enough juice to maintain an even level of charge opposed to actually charging it. Computer/USB is a no go when you are charging a dead phone.
Try the wall, let it go for a few hours then try powering back up. But don't keep playing with it every few minutes to see if you have enough power.
