I recently rooted my HTC Droid DNA and without thinking flashed a kernel while using the stock Android KitKat. I can no longer turn on my phone. When I try it just gets stuck at the HTC screen. Since the DNA doesn't have an SD card I can't plug that straight into my computer to put a rom on it and then flash it through the recovery. I am using TWRP and have tried to use ADB sideload but my computer keeps saying device not found. I am using windows 8 by the way. I just want to either flash the stock kernel or flash a custom rom so that I can actually use my phone again.
Edit: I can also use windows 7 if needed.

Reboot to fastboot mode then in cm type fastboot flash zip X.zip

I used that command and it is stuck at "waiting for device" and has been there for about 10 minutes. Is it supposed to take this long or is it not working?

That didn't work. My computer is making the noise so I know it is connected and I am using usb 2.0 so it isn't that either.

UPDATE: TOOL HAS BECAME THE ANDROID TOOL KIT
HTC NOOB PROOF FLASH TOOL
For Windows ONLY
Want to flash roms , .zips or kernels but too lazy to do it all yourself? Well now with the HTC Flash Help Tool (HTCFHT) you don't have to! HTCFHT automates all of the commands for flashing .zips and kernels. All you have to do is have your HTC phone on and unlocked with ADB debugging on.Soon it'll even unlock your bootloader! This only works on windows (tested on 7 and 8).This program is bug free! This even works on any HTC device that is unlocked or has s-off!
How to:
Before starting make sure that
-ADB debugging is on
-Phone is unlocked
Download v1
Planned:
Browser to .zip or boot.img
auto rename
Do you need help or have you found a bug?
Let me know!
Thanks to elkay for his awesome kernel!
Re: FLASH HELP TOOL |fully automated| N00b Proof!|
Good tool for the guys that dont wanna do it the old fashioned way. Good stuff Covxx!
Sent from my SuperCharged DNA
Just did alot of work on this ... maybe a actually 1.0 release today...
What does this do exactly? If it installs the kernel without having to flash it from recovery, might be useful. Save 30 seconds or so of install time.

Keep it up-to-date with latest popular kernels/roms and I wouldn't mind downloading it.
I have no problem doing the commands manually, but if it can auto download and install kernels for me I'd love it just because I'm lazy

Tried using it to flash a kernel and it fails. When it asks to type ready or not yet, I type in "ready" and it says that "then" is not a recognized command. Must be a typo or error in the command scripting.
EDIT: Actually even the Read me option doesn't work. It just closes the command prompt. What OS did you test this on? XP? I'm using Windows 7 and there are likely some command syntax differences that make it incompatible.

Yeah it should have soooo TWRP 2.4.x.x should work
Did you try this?
Once in bootloader, choose “FASTBOOT”, hit the Power button, then plug-in your microUSB cable from your phone to computer.
Now type "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-jewel.img" without the quotes and press enter
Now type "fastboot erase cache" without the quotes and press enter

I keep getting this message that says downloading do not turn off target.
I got past it by home+vol down+lock and then choosing cancel on the next window but I don't know how to install this rom if I can't bypass the bootloader! I am using the twrp method
How do I reboot recovery after I've installed open recovery script on goomanager without getting this error?

Get one of the RUU's for the phone. Either 1.26.502.12 or 1.26.502.15. There isn't any for 1.26.502.10 (original shipped AT&T rom).

I actually just did a clean install of Windows on my computer, and re-downloaded the RUU (1.26.502.15) and ran it, and it said "Installscript Setup Launcher has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem." (Which we all know is bull, Windows sucks at that,..) So, is this stopping working because I don't have my phone locked and on fastboot RIGHT NOW? Because I don't want to lock it just to have it say the same thing.
It will fail of you don't have a locked bootloader that's for sure and will also not work of you're not in fastboot mode afaik but I don't know if you should be getting that.
