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.

ok im stuck on my boot logo for my motorola droid 2. its a liberty logo, no the original M logo, ive held in x when it starts up and then it takes me to the triangle and then i hold the search button down and then it takes me to a menu saying this:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
ive already tried just rebooting it and then it does the same thing again and just gets stuck at the boot logo, so please help. thanks!
Have you tried pulling the battery out for about 15 seconds?
See if that clears it up.
with it unplugged and turned off?
Yes Sir. Unlug it and turn it off.
yes i just did that and it didnt work, its still at the boot logo, the only thing i can do is go to that recovery menu that i said about in my 1st post, but idk what to do when i get there?
Try wipe data/factory reset.
Obviously you're gonna have to tweak your settings again.
okay, is there anyway i can get my settings back like a recovery? or something
Well, you might want to head in to the Droid 2 forums to get better responses related to your phone.
Here is a link to start with.
As far as recovery goes, I don't think you have a custom recovery installed. Sounds like you have a stock phone. So, there's no way of backing your stuff up.
i have it rooted and a rom on it but nothing custom, but thanks for all your help

If you have it rooted, did you ever perform a Nandroid backup ?
Do you have a non standard recovery installed?
EDIT: Sorry re-read last few post and come to conclusion that you probably don't.
sorry but doesnt rds lite 4.8 and the correct sbf file let u flash back to stock?
If your phone is rooted then you have changed your kernal.It might be a fault with the kernal.I had a similar thing happen in an SGS.It was rooted and when i flashed the kernal againh via CWM it also got stuck on the same as you.The only way to solve it was boot to download mode and flash via odin again.
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 .

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

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.
flash back stock recovery and do a factory reset, this will clear the encryption

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

Wow, didn't know that Volume Up + Down + Power trick. You saved me some bucks and my nerve cells. Thank you a whole lot!
Glad you got it sorted....
I'm not exactly sure what I did, but I had a CM9/ICS ROM on the Bravo, but wanted to go back to CM7/GB, so I rebooted into recovery, and used TWRP to restore my backup. I did wipe caches and Factory Reset before restoring, so the restore process was insanely quick(11 seconds). Now when booting, it just shows the Motorola logo. Power button + volume keys take me to a either a Bootloader thing, or an exclamation mark/triangle with the Android thing.
I did not root the Bravo, I believe it was rooted and had CM7 when purchased(from ebay or something), so I'm kinda new to all this.
According to this, I can actually access recovery from the triangle thing using both volume buttons: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035778, but it's not the same one I used to install TWRP.
Will renaming a ROM to update.zip, and 'updating' work? EDIT: I've tried this and it aborts due to the ROM lacking 'verification'.
How can I get my phone working again?
