so as i stated earlier in other threads i recently rooted. and it only took me under 36 hours to brick it lol. heres how it happened i installed ROM toolbox and then started looking around. somewhere near the bottom options is a boot screen selector. so i selected a glow android instead of the boost default. i rebooted andit hung on the boot screen and i heard the boot sound twice. so i dropped battery and rebooted into recovery then did a master reset. and then turned the phone back on, all good. was doing everything as normal. installed a font pack and rebooted after selecting the desired font and brick. it hangs on the glowing android boot screen from ROM toolbox. also i can boot into recovery but can no longer do a master reset. so i guess my question really is how can i put this thing back to stock.


ok so i finally was able to do a wipe from recovery . installed rom toolbox but cant find a way to undo what i did with the boot animation option. which is where i first created a brick
 
yea i just did that im glad it was just as easy to stock as it was to root. i am curious tho is there a limit to how many times you can restock and reroot. if not ima run rampant and brick this b*tch twice a week at least lol.and yea gonna stay away from rom toolbox (for now), so not worth the glowing boot animation and font lol

ive been in contact with the rom toolbox dev and he thought it was a font issue. but it was the boot animation that caused the boot loop and subsequent crash.
