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.

Try restoring back to stock with the Droid DNA RUU, i had issues with it locking up and freezing and i couldnt do a thing with it. i stumbled on the RUU and followed the instructions and re-stocked it. then just root and flash again. worked for me and im now running the Battery Plus ROM and have no issues yet. good luck
Just be sure to re lock before you flash the ruu

I have system recovery installed and have used it many times. I also have nandroid backups installed......but I'm curious, if I'm boot looping how can I get to the system recovery screen? If my phone's in a constant boot loop can't I only get to the android recovery screen?
I know if I shut my phone down it'll go into System Recovery when it's plugged in, but if I reboot (or constantly reboot) I can't get to it at all, only android recovery and rsd and all that stuff.

Pull battery to turn off phone
plug phone into wall
put battery back in
It will go to system recovery UNLESS u previously did a data wipe
I have used this.method many many times when bootlooping and have been able to get into bootstrap and restore nandroid and be all good to go
This is the EXACT reason why I don't mind having to plug my phone in to get recovery
many times I have bootlooped and each time I was able to get.into bootstrap. Of course if u panic and do a data wipe from stock recovery u won't be able to get in as it will wipe the charge_mode_hijack
Previously as in right before, right? Just making sure.
I was thinking that but the last time I bootlooped was when I first rooted and just sbf'ed. (didn't have a backup then...and system revocery possibly)

Bootlooping AFTER SBF is very common
Data wipe from stock recovery fixes that problem.
U wouldn't be able to get into bootstrap after sbf anyways since it takes root away
So what can I do if I DID a data wipe.... I have a nandroid backup, I can see it, but I cant get it to load

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?

Was just curious, was hopin to send my phone back in to att today (due to a power button that no longer works) since i got a replacement. Unrooted back to stock and deleted all of my photos and everything and then got stuck on a bootloop so im unable to do a hard reset. Unfortunately I can't even get into 3e recovery since my power button is broken, so is it possible to do a hard/factory reset to wipe the internal SD from odin or any other program? much appreciated
If the phone is on and booted up, you can do a wipe data/factory reset from the settings menu within the phone:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset in Gingerbread
Menu > Settings > Back up and reset > Factory data reset in ICS
If your phone is not on, there are several ways to boot it:
adb reboot
flash stock firmware in Odin with reboot checked
etc.
You can also get into recovery with:
adb reboot recovery

I'll look into adb recovery. The phone is not on for clarification. It's stuck in a permanent bootloop.

If it were my phone, I would flash the stock firmware package in Odin, with reboot checked. Once the flash completes, the phone should boot normally. Then you should be able to wipe data/factory reset from the phone.
or try the adb reboot recovery to see if that will work.
If you still have a bootloop after flashing stock again, then you may need to flash the full stock distribution. You don't say in the OP how the phone got into a bootloop, or what you flashed to stock from.

Apologies again for not being specific and I appreciate your efforts in going back and forth with me.
The reason my phone is currently in a bootloop was when I followed the process on your thread for preparing my phone to be sent back for warranty replacement. Using odin I flashed the stock image (UCKH7, and my flash counter reads NO which is good) and after the phone extracted the files and Odin said I was bone stock, my phone just continuously reboots on the att startup animation (which you predicted and outlined could be fixed by going into 3e recovery and doing a factory reset but since my power buttons rubbish, I can't select any options even if I do get into 3e recovery)
Edit: I also flashed to stock from AOKP and I even followed through your process a second time thinking that re-flashing the stock firmware would remove the bootloop, however no luck

You probably don't need the bootloaders. I think adb reboot recovery is your best option. Let me know if it works.

Yeah that's what I figured as well since I can't select any options. It's Alright, luckily I deleted anything personal before even doing the unroot. And the Odin flash definitely unlinked all of my account info from the phone so I was just asking for my own peace of mind and curiosity. Just dropped the phone off in the mail this morning, thank you both for your help. You guys rule.

I think I have messed up, I just flashed to the Cyanogen 7.2 Rom, it flashed ok and the phone works. But so far I have a few problems, I am not unable to answer calls. When it rings, I need to unlock the phone, manually go into the phone app in order to do so.
I am also missing the notification bar.... I can't see it anywhere.
Another problem is I can no longer access the phone when connected to the computer as it does not have the option to allow me to use as usb mass storage any more. When it is plugged in pc will pick it up but the drive is greyed out.
Please help.

just do a factory reset (in the first menu), than flash again and don't forget to wipe cache partitation and dalvik cache, fix permissions aswell to be sure. If that does not work you can go with the QDL-tool. It almost impossible to completely brick your phone due to software, as only the -w command in fastboot could do that but it would not even boot in that situation...

Which of the first menu are you refering to? I am confused....
I have now entered recovery and just done a factory reset, let see what happens
1) Go into StreakMod and do a factory reset.
2) Go into the main recovery menu and do a factory reset.

I did that by going into recovery then I did a factory reset, after that it will just loop at the boot up screen. I had to take the battery out as it was hung for like 20mins. Now it's bricked and it won't even boot back up....
:crying:
Both should not brick anything. Try to enter the recovery again and do the factory reset (the first one now), and flash again. If it does not work get a fresh install by doing the QDL-tool all the information is on the forum.

install either dsc 1.0 or longhorn 2.7 and see if it helps... everything should work fine with those two rom...
once it works... install kernel test 3... but be sure to install the correct kernel.... dsc, its own kernel... longhorn, cm7 kernel... and then fastboot 366 baseband for better voice, mic and telco cell reception quality
After I've got my phone back from warranty service, I've noticed that they flashed a different ROM, probably the one for Asian region, as the default language was some sort of chinese-japanese-korean. So is there a way to re-flash a different stock ROM without voiding warranty?
P.S. after I get into bootloader and manage to get into recovery mode, I can't select "apply from sd card", because as soon as I do so, it says that something is invalid and the phone reboots.
Im guessing they reflashed the ROM that was originally used with the MID for that device...even with asian variant,english language is available...factory reset the device and rerun the setup,choose english as language and give more info cid/mid/carrier etc

Alright, I've managed to install a desired ROM, but after flashing DSP manager.zip it bootlooped, so I restored my ROM back. However, that didn't do the trick as the phone says "unable to mount /data". I can boot, I see the lockscreen, but when I unlock the device, it asks me to enter decryption data password. No, I didn't set any passwords.
Tried re-flashing, wiping, nothing helped.

Alright, I went back to recovery and restored my old stock ROM. However, decryption screen still persists, leaving me able to use lockscreen only. The problem is that this stock ROM has USB debugging off and Fast Boot on and I can't change that because of the password requirement, so I can't use ADB (debugging) or boot into recovery using keys (fast boot mode). What do I do to get into recovery? Computer recognizes the phone as a CD drive.
No restore the stock recovery and do a factory reset,not twrp or cwm...hold power and both volume up and down, itll reboot after lights flash a few times, as soon as it reboots hold power and volume down and it should go into bootloader, may take a few attempts but keep at it itll go
