My Cloud rebooted and now flashes yellow… how can I force this to reset to factory defaults? i cant access it on the network and have no way to hook USB up.
Flashing yellow = no network connection (device is not receiving an IP). Double check your ethernet cable, network devices, etc…
did that… units hosed.
To manually reset the My Cloud see here:
I got the same, and then I reseted, and then I got white led instead of blinking yellow, and yes, it got bricked.
But good luck on your reset! 
i tried this and it will not work…bricks ville!

Is it still flashing yellow or has it gone white?
looked at it this morning and the light was out… unplugged it then plugged it back in and it went back to flashing yellow.
Do you have another router to plug it in to?
yes… I plugged it into my network and it didnt work then i plugged it into a router by its self and a laptop and still nothing.
And you tried using different ethernet cables right? if so, then you might have to RMA it.
yes…3 cables total. This unit was sent to me to replace another unit.
I have boxed this unit up and i am sending it back.
