Reboot it, if that doesn't work pull out the battery and put it back.

If rebooting or pulling the battery out for a few seconds doesn't work, you might have to take a trip to your local Verizon store.

Sounds like your phone decided to take off on you. Hope one of the first two suggestions works. Unfortunately, as it stands now, you cant even dial *228.

you may also try a hard reset but with your phone flashing like that it may not work.

ive had an issue where i had to do a factory direct reset. my music worked for about a month then kept freezing on me. it wouldnt go back to the main screen or anything in the music player the screen just went black and my phone completely froze. however a hard reset worked for me. when you have an issue like this that can be resolved any other way this fixes it however i would use it as a last resort as a factory direct reset erases everything even backed up information on your sd card because everything is reset to the way when you first bought it out of the store. if you think this will work for you here is the quickest and easiest way i have found to do it:

 

turn droid 2 off

open keyboard and press x while holding the power button

device will power on

keep holding until a yellow triangle appears

press the magnifying glass on your keyboard

use the volume button to select wipe data/ factory reset

use camera key to confirm

tap wipe data/factory reset

then ok

highlight reboot system now

then ok
