It started today with LauncherPro and a force close loop, again (happened yesturday.) So I deceided to do a factory reset to start from square one (I was running Velocity 0.3). Then my Phone just sat there with a loop of the Velocity screen over and over again. I need to bring my phone back from the dead, what do I do?!

This has happened to me before as well.
Now we all know that Velocity Rules.... With that said sometimes when resetting it.... it gets a little finicky and boot lopps.
Not a big deal though. As Dots said Do the three finger boot and data factory wipe again. Also wipe Cache Dalvik and the SD EXT if you have Apps 2 SD. Now With the Velocity .3 zip on your SD Card simply reflash it.
This will clear it up and you will be right as Rain.

I also advise dont give up on Launcher Pro. It is a very useful tool. As all computer programs though it can be finicky. Now When your done setting up Do a Nandroid Backup and save it somewhere safe.

Good Luck Brother.

Well are you trying to go back stock or are you saying velocity is going into a bootloop?
If your trying to go back completely stock follow Death2all's thread on that subject it will get you there no problem
If you want velocity and your stil. Getting a boot loop after reflashing it..... I suggest doing the same thing first go back stock and then try a reflash of velocity.
Or you could always give Raptor a try . I have heard of many peop
E being very satisfied with that Rom.
