Hello @miki I am sorry to hear of your trouble. While I am not familiar with the phone, I know that one simply does not brick their phone installing drivers. Can you explain in detail the steps you were doing when the phone started to boot loop?

Also, can you link the tutorial that you used?

Also, to find the drivers, you can go to Kyocera's support site and download the proper drivers for the phone. In order to fix this, you might have to flash the stock firmware to the phone. This will wipe all of your data most likely.

Thank you guys for the effort and timely response. The app I installed is called chainfire3d its a 2 part app, pro @ standard. I installed both I can't remember the name of the driver i installed through above app but I'm 99% sure it was the only driver within the app I installed it (I didn't heed the warning saying driver may brick device It didn't occur to me the bootloader hasn't been cracked yet so flashing is out.) This phone was released less than 6 months ago thanks either way

It seems that you might have to flash a new firmware to get the device back up and running.
