Motorola Droid X
Droid X Self-Destructs If You Try To Mod
"If the eFuse failes to verify [the firmware information (what we call ROMS), the kernel information, and the bootloader version], then the eFuse receives a command to 'blow the fuse'** or 'trip the fuse.' This results in the booting process becoming corrupted, followed by a permanent bricking of the phone. This FailSafe is activated anytime the bootloader is tampered with or any of the above three parts of the phone has been tampered with."

Yes it can brick itself if you try to modify anything from the bios, but with all firmware and software, there is a work around.
This, "unhackable" title, is drawing the devs in for a challenge. It will have the big dogs on this bad-boy root.
On a side note, SHAME on Motorola for perverting the open source android. This is blatantly insulting to the community. I hope the devs tear this security to shreds and embarrass the jackasses at Motorola for this travesty.
