I'm not sure whats going on with my D3. However, I have RSD and I have .890 and .959 downloaded as well as Fastboot.
What I want to do is just wipe the phone completely and just flash it like its a brand new phone.
Anyone know how to do so? Please post a link or instructions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Follow the first portion of the instructions on how to flash back to original 5.6.890. Note the making of a folder and it's name for the 890 flash.
Ignore the part about flashing the new ROM. These are the best instructions I've found so far for flashing back to stock via RSD lite.
Good luck, keep us posted.
Download and follow exactly and you'll be good to go.
Hope that helps.

Let me do some looking when I get home tonight. I remember there being a file for certain versions of XP that helped some people and they couldn't flash without it.
I never had it happen personally, but I know those that did were terribly frustrated.
I also hear the 959 version is easier to flash for some reason. Never flashed that version, so this is only hear-say. But I know it did flash easier according to posts.
I will try to dig up a link for you.
i am getting the same thing also getting the bad CG boot.. now this may be a fix but idk how this guy got it it.. i have been asking eveywhere maybe you guys could help me... here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248721
I found this by Psouza. He is likely the foremost expert on making things easy as far as unbricking your D3. Rumor has it he has a set of unbrick tools floating around this forum somewhere, though I haven't found it yet. Try in the Development thread, for sure it has to be there somewhere.

For those of you having problems flashing this and/or are suspicious of flashing ebr, mbr, and parts of the bootloader, you can selectively just flash the rest of it.

I also saw that flashing the pre-installs file alone first helped someone. That file borked on me once, but I was able to adb it over and then execute it via adb to get my phone unbricked.
Please let us know what works for you, as all of this is a work in progress right now.
Good luck!
i don't know to much about adb and are looking for help on pre-installed files. I don't understand what that means or how to go about it? i also cant get past the bootloader screen, "invalid CG version". i can not boot up at all.
How bricked are you? can you boot into CWM? Are you able to boot into tools, or how far can you get?
What version were you running? 5.959 (stock) or 6.890 OTA or Leaked OTA or Soak test (all the same as far as 6.890 goes).
i can get into boot tools and just tryed another flash got to step 6 till it failed instead of 3.. I'm running stock. Cannot get passed boot tools... scratch all that just tried to flash again just on the off chance it mnight work and i got it. Going to try and re-root and CWN recovery with sdteel froids rom... will keep you in the loop
Awesome!!
Here is the link about the adb commands for preinstall.sh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17196391&postcount=88
It helped me when I borked my leaked update. I ran into the same problem as limaxray did with too many files in /system. So make sure you clean out any apps you made into system apps before trying the update via the standard update route, and that all stock system apps are in place and properly named.
I had to remove some that updated partially with the leaked update when mine borked. I used the posted system dump to push them to the phone and then the update ran properly and updated them anyhow.
If for some reason re-rooting doesn't work for you. Go to /system/bin and remove su, busybox. Do the same in /system/xbin. For some reason if you already have them in there when you run the process, it will say success but no root after reboot. My 2c as it happened to me. You do not need to remove superuser.apk, but you will have to update it in the market after you re-root.
Congrats!!
I see now too there is a fastboot and moto-fastboot. moto-fastboot has worked for some who had issues from what I've found.
Keep us posted, and smile knowing you've recovered from a bork; none of us got where we are without doing it at least once, so you're in good company.
re-rooted and installed bootstrap, just got steel droid all loaded up and all is good.... thanks for your speedy responses and detailed instructions and links. I realy think all that happened was i took everything aet it sone last time tried to flash and it went threw. All i used was RSD lite and flashed the 8.6.590 fast boot file and after a several retries it went threw. If anyone needs help on this i will post the file links if you need the ones i used

I installed the update last night. I honestly don't know what all the changes are, but I'm pretty sure it is a bugfix release. Still android 4.1.2. The only thing that I have noticed is that after the update my led will actually flash green for a text message or email. Before the update, my led only worked for charging, so I would have no idea whether I had email or messages without turning my screen on.
I have not noticed any other changes. No noticable speedups or slowdowns. Haven't discovered any issues. None of my apps have ever forced closed on this phone, and that has not changed after the update.
So...not a bad upgrade, although it might be pointless if you don't have any issues.
19.8MB update. Can't be too much going on in there, but I'd also think it's more than a few lines of code being updated...
Ooh, fun. Looks like I can't install the OTA with CWM or TWRP. Jonslice, are you rooted?
EDIT:
Weird. Now my phone says the software is up to date. What's the Build info under About Phone for you guys? Wondering if it did actually update even though it said it failed...
The OTA zip is on my dropbox in case anyone is curious to look at it. [1] Looks to me like it's updating a handful of system files, as well as the boot and recovery images. With clockworkmod installed, I was prompted to confirm installing the update because its signature wasn't verified, but I haven't yet attempted to let it install it. This should definitely give us an "official" image for the boot and recovery partitions though, which never hurts.

It'll fail if you try to install it. I'm thinking it needs the official bootloader to work. Someone will need to make this flashable. I was trying to extract it from my phone, but you beat me to it. Thanks!

I pulled this recovery.img from the firmware.zip that's included inside OTAPkg.zip: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7859496/Android/mystul/recovery.img

Thanks. I posted both the update and your log to the development forum to see if someone with more knowledge can do anything with them.
For the record, pushing that recovery doesn't work. Well, pushing it works, but you can't get into it on the phone. I repushed TWRP to my phone in the interim.

I tried the latest beta version of a HTC One Mini port by nlsolja123 yesterday. It seemed to have flashed with no problem, but then it doesn't go past the "One" screen. I would let him know that I tested it since he asked has anyone done so, but I'm unable to since I'm new. Has anyone else tried it besides me?
it is possible, that something is wrong it the startup or something. did you try both of the ones i uploaded or just the newest? im needing someone experienced to help get a logcat. and find the error

OK. At first I thought it was going to take a while to boot up because I've flashed ROMs/ports in the past that's done so. I wish I could help, but the only experience I have is flashing multiple ROMs on different phones. But there's one question I have though: when I flashed the port, it asked if I wanted to fix permissions to root it...are you supposed to fix it or decline? I did both options and came up with the same result.

In the development section, blafree64 has a Sense 5 ROM. Have you tried flashing it? The file is pretty big and took a while to download, but when it eventually finished downloading I tried to flash it. However, my phone just hung on the Facebook logo.
So, I've tried literally every video, or walkthrough I could find via youtube or this site and I am still stuck in a boot loop right now at the unlock custom screen.
I've tried using odin to go back to stock completely, i've tried the battery removal / wipe data etc option, I don't know what else to do here.
If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it. At this point I'm pretty desperate.
Which firmware version are you on? What were you doing when it bricked (flashing a ROM, rooting, etc)? Am I correct in assuming you're rooted because of the custom padlock icon?
Have you tried giving it a few minutes to boot up before pulling the battery? I thought my phone was bricked once, but all it needed was ~5 minutes to get going. Give it a good 10 minutes or so to boot up. If that doesn't work, report back with the information I requested and we'll go from there.

MJ5 ... flashing FireNote Rom
Problem I was having is I was using KnoxRaid Rom, well that rom is dead / thread locked so I figured I would try FireNote. When I rebooted to flash FireNote, I noticed Safestrap wasn't there anymore. I tried re-installing Safestrap a few times with no luck. After a factory wipe / reset, Safestrap magically re-appeared and was available for me to use. I figured what the hell, I'll flash FireNote. When I did, I noticed it was more or less a hodge-podge of the two Rom's and not a clean install. When I did the wipe again to re-install FireNote, I'm now stuck at the spash screen and have been since early this morning.
And yea, I've given it quite some time ... 10+ minutes, even an hour. Nothing.

I tried MJ5 restore. Maybe there's a different method I can try that you can point me to directly?
Were you on the Jellybean or KitKat version of Knoxraid? If you were on the KitKat version then the problem sounds like you tried to flash a JB ROM on top of a KK ROM without reverting back to JB first. Have you tried the MJ5 restore yet? I believe the thread is in the general section. I'll grab the link for you in a minute.

Maybe some of the files are corrupt. Try uninstalling Heimdall, the Microsoft plugins, delete everything you downloaded (Odin, the .tar files, etc), and redownload them and try again. On top of that, I would delete all of your USB drives and have Windows reinstall them or download them from Samsung's website. That way you will start nice and fresh and hopefully get out of this mess.

No problem. Let me know how it goes.
Oh, one more thing: have you tried different USB ports on your PC and/or different USB cables? In the past I've found that it's a must to use the USB cable that came with the phone for anything other than charging.

Yea, I've used different ports and only used the cable that came with it from the start.
Good. I'm betting it's a bad file or something didn't install properly that's causing your problem. I've used the MJ5 restore several times to get off of KitKat versions of Knoxraid with no problems, so I don't see why it shouldn't work for you.
Here's a tip: when you place the CSC file and the 28whatever file on your external SD card, rename them to "flash first" and "flash second" or something like that to avoid mixing them up. Renaming them won't hurt anything.

Stock recovery or TWRP?
Are you looking to undo what you did without having to do a complete wipe, or are you open to more drastic solutions? Because you can always run the toolkit to reset to complete stock by flashing the stock images over your current system. But that would of course perform a complete wipe.

I actually used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/tool-moto-x-pure-edition-recovery-t2897819 when I was messed around, but I would imagine either would work. When I needed to return to unrooted stock, I believe that toolkit returned me to 4.4.4 unrooted stock, then I just ran the 5.0 OTA once the phone booted up.
The toolkit you referenced is the one I used to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and root my phone. As long as you can get to recovery or fastboot, either toolkit should work to return you to stock. BUT I caution you, I have a pure edition, and these toolkits were made for the pure edition. If you do not have a pure edition, you'll want to read the disclaimers/instructions/other posts to make sure it will work on your phone.
Okay so this escalated quickly.
So here I am being my dumb self , I try to flash TWRP. That goes fine and then I try to wipe my data. After that I reboot it and as its turning on it foes black on the boot animation. and now I cant even get into freaking recovery mode. I dont know what I did but im pretty sure I messed up bad. I need some serious help now and anything is appreciated.

Bootloader as in vol. down + power button right? Thats not working too. I also tried other combinations to no luck. And before it was turning on but now its not even booting to the boot animation. Thanks for the link though, if it does magically boot into the bootloader then i'll know what to do at least.
Edit: Okay so theres the charging animation, so thats a start, I guess. Still no luck on the bootloader tho.
Okay got it into bootloader mode!
Now before I do any other stupid thing can somebody just confirm one thing for me? On Graffix's website, this is the img I should flash through mfastboot right
Lollipop 5.0 22.21.11 FULL IMAGE PACKAGE Zip
Just a confirmation because I dont really trust my judgement. Thanks again everybody

I agree that Toolkits can make you lazy and not learn how to fix things on your own, but when you need a quick fix and don't have time to figure out what is going wrong, it's always nice to just boot your phone into fastboot or recovery and fix things with a few keystrokes on your computer.
I got it to work guys! Thanks for all the help. It was much appreciated.
