I think I bricked my Evo 3D. I was installing a this ROM with this recovery (but I didn't wipe/factory reset anything, just went to the recovery and flashed the .zip) and I am bricked at the Sprint screen after booting. I have a Nandroid backup, but when I flash it, I still can't boot up. Any ideas?

You are not bricked. If you were bricked your phone would be a useless unbooting paper weight. Reboot back into recovery and wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and data. After the wipes try restoring your nandroid backup. If you really want that ROM you need to follow the instructions on proper flashing the boot.img with fastboot because I'm assuming you have HBOOT 1.5

I assume your problem is related to the kernel/kernel modules you have. You need to follow instructions on how to flash a kernel with hboot 1.5.
connect your phone to the computer, open device manager, if you see MTS Device with a warning yellow triangle on it(i think its MTS but it could be MDS or something, i don't remember now), right click on it, select disable. On the same dialog , if there an android device with the same triangle, disable that as well. Turn the phone off, try pulling the battery out(both volume keys and power button may not work, as it will just restart the phone) Now put the battery back, don't start the phone, connect it to your computer, run adb reboot bootloader command.If the phone goes to bootloader mode, issue fastboot command mentioned on the guide page to load your recovery. And reflash. You might have to restart your computer as well. As the problem is windows is not loading android drivers properly.
Another solution could be to load android drivers from device manager it self by right clicking android phone and update the driver.
I guess the issue is some new media drivers or something like that are needed with ICS .

I'm not having any problems connecting it to my PC and getting it into recovery, its just any ROM/Kernel/Nandroid I flash all leads me to the endless Sprint logo
Fixed it by wiping EVERYTHING multiple times, then restoring my Nandroid backup. Still having problems flashing a ROM, I put it on the SD, manually booted to recovery w/o computer, wiped everything, then flashed the ROM but won't boot past the Sprint/Android screen. Any ideas?

Lol that would be called a bootloop not bricked .

Ok so I'm fairly new to the rooting scene, and these forums, but so far everything has been pretty good, except for one small problem. I installed a custom boot logo, and afterwards my phone was lagging a bit. I contacted the boot logo programmer, with no response, so I decided to wipe my system and use the backup from right before I installed the custom boot logo. Unfortunately, the boot logo has not changed, and my phone 'fails' whenever I try to flash something from Odin. Anyone know what to do in this situation.
If you want to do a full wipe of you device,cos it sounds like tha boot logo is corrupt,then boot to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.then go to "storage and mounts" and format system,data and cache.Select "Go Back" and factory reset your phone and reboot.If it doesnt go past the boot logo after 1min then pull the battery,put it back in and turn it back on.Its a pain in the arse but it will completely clean up your device and if you where rooted you will need to probably reroot but berfore hand plug in your phone to your PC so it gets recognized again.
EDIT:Just incase,first of all download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps!!!!

You need to wipe usb storage, sd card, then put phone in download mode, flash stock ROM using Odin. You need to fully wipe everything.

I've trying reflashing the stock ROM and kernel; however, it gives me a FAIL and says can't open the serial (COM) port.
I have solved the problem by closing Samsung Kies and wiping the system, thanks for all the help offered.
i recently rooted my phone and flashed clockwork and was running beastmode kernal on stock rom.everything was working ok i used to get little glitches here and there so i tried to restore my phone back to factory.i entered the recovery mode and wipe date/factory reset and then went on to restore the backup.everything went smooth until i reboot the phone and now the phone is stuck in the droid(eye logo) and wont past that at all and just glitches and freezes on that screen.my friend has tried to fix it but there is no communication between the phone and the computer(usb debugging must have been disabled when i wipe data/factory reset and i basically cant do anything to fix it.is there a way around this to where i can just reset the phone to factory or install a rom or something

Your phone is not bricked. When the phone is stuck on the droid eye, hold the power button and the volume down key at the same time until it reboots. This will get you into bootloader mode. Press the volume down key to highlight recovery and press the power button to enter it. Once you're in recovery go ahead and restore a backup or reflash something new. Either way make sure to do a full wipe.

thats what i did i restored my backup and this is what happens. and i cannot push any files over to the phone because usb debugging is not enabled so there is no communication between the phone and computer at all
boot into recovery then use "adb push <path to rom> /mnt/sdcard/" to put a rom on the sd then install. Make sure you use a boot.img that came with the rom if it has one as it may cause problems if you don't.
Edit: you will need another rom for this and I would recommend reflashing a boot.img

USB debugging has nothing to do with ADB in recovery, recovery basically has its own kernel and ADB is always enabled. Are you saying ADB doesn't work in recovery? If so, it is probably a driver problem with your computer. Also, some phones randomly get corrupt /data/ partitions (mine used to get them until I started using DSB's stock kernel with system write) and the only way to fix it is to do a factory reset or restore a backup. This might be what happened to you. If so just do a factory restore and see if it will boot.
Perhaps reflashing recovery? Worth a try if ur still having problems, also try installing then uninstalling htcs sync app.

Just be sure to re lock before you flash the ruu

I was running full stock rom bootloader unlocked rooted and was having a problem connected to lte.. No matter how many restarts i did I couldn't get lte to work just hspa+. So I decided to via twrp install The Base rom over it since it is the only custom rom I liked for the phone and still had the same problem. I went back into recovery, wiped caches, factory reset then wiped system. Reinstalled the Base and that's when I bricked it. All of a sudden it doesn't boot. It will splash the lg logo the just go blank but still notice a faint backlight. The is somehow on but can't boot into anything....
How do I get back into the recovery? Maybe it would be a easy fix from there.
I'm also considering just going back to stock, unrooting and relocking the bootloader since I'm fed up with how unreliable tinkering with this phone is compared to any samsung device.... What is the most fool-proof method in doing this?
Any help is appreciated....
To enter recovery reboot in to the bootloader. (Volume up + Power). The you will get a black screen with some text. Press volume down twice then power. If you did it right you will be in the recovery. Now restore from a backup.
You really should learn to read. (1) Information to enter recovery manually is in the Feegee thread and (2) It says on the base's OP to NOT wipe system or you will brick.

Thanks for your info...its gonna help.....at the time I totally forgot that wiping the base would brick the phone...I guess I was being just lazy not finding the actuall method to getting into the recovery....I searched a bit and couldn't find so I decided to ask....thanks
Phone is fixed...I'm a much happier person now
I was trying to flash CM and made the stupid mistake of only flashing the boot.img and now my dna repeatedly restarts and won't get past the droid light thing. The rom files and gapps are not on my sd card. I can't get a connection to adb and my computer doesn't see the device. ADB will recognize the device at one part during the bootloop but says "offline" right next to it. I'm s-off (moonshine), rooted, and have CWM recovery. I've tried wiping the cache, dalvik cache, and tried a factory reset. None of those worked. If I lose this phone I'm really screwed, is there no way to get out of this?

Boot in CM recovery and there is an option to connect the phone to the computer as a USB. There you can put the rom files etc and flash it again.

I ended up fixing the problem by finding out what sideloading is and sideloading the rom/gapps. Thanks for the help though!
My sisters DNA is running a sense rom of some sort. She wants to go back to completely stock BUT can't flash stock rom because twrp won't mount cache, dalvic, or data to be able to wipe anything. says unable to mount... Forrmat data doesn't work. nothing. I think mounting system and wiping it works but when you reboot the phone the system is still there. I tried flashing the rom on top but it gets few seconds in and it reboots the phone. Can't RUU because when program says waiting for bootloader, it tries to boot into bootloader but actually reboots the phone. Then RUU says connection failed. Adbing or fastbooting into bootloader or recovery just reboots the phone. Can't flash new recovery neither. It says flashing the recovery was successful but recovery or version of it doesn't change. Also for some reason Twrp is a bit laggy.
I'm running out of ideas here. The current rom she's running is lagging and causes issues after months of using it. How can I get back to stock?
Can anyone help please?

If its rebooting the phone and not into bootloader, the first things to check are: Make sure you're using the HTC cable, try a different usb port, and make sure you have all the correct drivers installed. Easiest way is to install htc sync, and then uninstall, It will leave the drivers behind and remove the sync software.
