Use GTG's Unbrick to flash to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
Afterwards check if you can access internal sd storage. That'll solve your software brick.
Did you try looking at the other 20+ posts in Q&A that everyone has responded to claiming they're bricked??
To get a little historic on you (thanks @nunhugger for that terminology) back in 2007 when your bricked your phone it was gone. Done. Paperweight. Your jailbreak messed up your iphone. DONE. ADIOS. GOODBYE. So.. Claiming that your phone is, "bricked" when in fact that's not the real definition, is wrong. What you have is a term that was coined, "soft brick" this has been bugging me for a while and your post just pushed me over..
In other words YOU'RE NOT BRICKED.

LOL.
Yeah... everyone claiming they're bricked is getting old. Maybe we need a sticky like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with bold "DON'T PANIC".

Since I've never used Heimdall or this "SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar" file you're talking about I can't give you advice on it. I can only give you advice on flashing Froyo and how to get back to stock. Are you able to access your internal sd storage from the official stock ROM using the My Files application? Can you see the internal SD storage when you go to SETTINGS -> SD CARD AND PHONE STORAGE?
From your initial post it sounds like you can no longer access your internal storage.

have anyone can flash CWM Recovery by Odin or how can convert CWM Recovery "zip" to "tar" for flash on Odin?
CWM Recovery have many tool maybe i can fix it, if i can install it.
thanks
Same here
I am in what sounds like the same situation. Heimdalled my way there as well. There is a link in the Infuse Super Thread that brings youto a Heimdall One-Click by Adam Outler that includes CWM. I used that and got CWM back but it is having all kinds of mounting issues. Can't remember them all right now (at work). Definatly can't mount sdcard and definatly can't mount or format system as well. I think there's more. I propose we work through this together Top10. I'll be back with more details after work (several hours from now).
---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
My situation is complicated by not hacing Odin (mac user).
I'll try to resurect my old PC laptop tonight but expectations are not high.
For the record top10: I got CWM back and mess with it for hours last night without any sucess. Only gatered more information about what else is not mounting. I can't get to 3e but can get to download mode. Reboot from CWM just reboots straight back to CWM (after Sumsung screen). What are the rest of your details? If we're in the same boat then we'll be twice as strong together.
twice as strong or sink twice as fast.
try reading this guys...a few times.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437548
ps..dont worry too much about the mounting issue for now.
@ qkster Thanks lotta info there
@top10 Canyou get into download? (I can)
What happens when you try to Heimdall?
I fail at bootloaders for the One-Click
I fail at PIT for the whole package restore

Dozen,
If you are using,heimdall. you have to flash the uckj4 twice.
after the first flash, click the bootloader box and flash it again.
The second flash with boot loaders is where it fails.
From researching I am thinking that something is wrong with the partitions.
Right now every time I pull the battery and try to boot it goes to red CWM and says:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix
E:Can't mout /devblock/stl11
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CASHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CASHE:recovery/log
E:Can't open CASHE:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/bloc/stl11
(File exists)
Get similar errors in mounts and storage
Can't CWM restore
Reflashing zip from sdcard fails eventually too.
Actually reflashing zip goes very fast and reboots back into red CWM
The problems all began when a second flash with bootloaders failed.

can you flash a ROM.zip from red cwm?
that is where you should be after you flash the Defuse kernel.
the mount e: drive error is normal
It apparently works but seems way too fast.
Then reboot just goes back into red CWM.
Reboot ALWAYS goes back to red CWM even if I ask for reboot to download or just pull battery and try to boot normally.
Failing at flashing the bootloaders and not booting without them scares me.
I can still mount to USB so I could download other zips.
Perhaps I will try to Heimdall a different ROM (like stock) any suggestions?
hi everybody
i know about my problem.
i try put external microsd card 16gb (sandisk ) and flash this "SGH-I997_I997UCKL2_UC_ATT" by Odin. when my phone boot it try to load logo at&t.
reboot 2-3time and wooo can load to home screen.
i try to check everything have wrong. i get it . the big problem my internal sdcard can't mount or format. i don't know it damage or have software issue. i try to flash back Odin_UCKE3_v2 it can't solve this problem. i think it internal sdcard damage.
i don't know how to walk out this problem
thanks everybody to share and tell me
I am realizing that your problem is quite different than mine.
I thought we could work together but my problem is so different that I must go elsewhere to avoid hijacking your thread.
I wish you the best of luck.
I'm seeing exactly the same thing on my phone right now - I'm into day 2 of fighting it.
* Flashing GTG's ultimate unbrick stops on the 9th bar of factoryfs.rfs in Odin.
* Flashing Heimdall gets me a flashed kernel, followed by a reboot into CWM with the quoted output.
* I've run everything in CWM that says wipe or format with no effect.
* I've run everything in CWM that says restore.
* I've reinstalled the only ROM that I have on my sdcard (zeus).
* I've done several combinations of the above multiple times.
* I've done this on 2 different computers on every USB port possible.
I've read the entire thread of GTG's unbrick and have seen nothing that I haven't listed above.
I'm not saying I'm bricked here, but I am saying that I'm out of ideas.

a possible problem with GTG's unbrick stopping midway is a bad connection.
Try rebooting your pc. unload any other antivirus.
use a different data cable or hold the one you have well against the phone to ensure a good connection while ... flashing your package...

Will try a different cable tonight once i've booted from lunix.
For the record:
Rebooting and cold booting have had no effect.
I don't run antivirus software, I just find it's a solution that's worse than the problem.
Okay so I really need some help. I was installing CWM 10 and decided to try another one when the home key didn't work, and tried to go with Slim Bean. The phone has been stuck in boot loop ever since. I can however get into recovery but no luck there. None of the backup zips will flash and I am in CWM 5.0.2.7. I normally will just flash back to stock in an instance like this but now Odin wont even come up with a COM when i plug it in. I also have tried Heimdall to no avail. All it says under Recovery is
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/reovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Any ideas, I am willing to try anything
cwm 5.x is CM9.
CM10/JB has cmw 6.x
it's hard to tell how you got from jb cmw 6 to ics cmw 5 .
it's possible your partitions are also messed up.
you may need to start over with a return to stock package via Odin or Heimdall.

I read somewhere about trying a jig since I can't get into download mode, I just ordered one online, hopefully that will help me to return to stock. Thank you!

np..if you are stuck in a constant samsung boot loop and cant get into download mode, it may be your power button.
look in the q/a threads if you think it may be your pwer button.
without power button issue, you should be able to get to DL mode..
getting
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/reovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
though i can get back to stock via odin to 2.3 and it boots fine.
really confused ????
Firstly I hope this is the right subforum for this post.
So I am pretty much stuck with a brick atm( can make calls / texts ) and I am not sure where I went wrong.
I went and unlocked my phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM.
But when I went to flash a ROM and Gapps I encountered a problem
When I went to go and wipe data and cache I got these errors.
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I still proceeded to go ahead and try and flash Gapps and Liquidsmooth ROM.
When I selected to reboot after the flash my phone did nothing.
The screen was black and I was forced to reboot with Volume up/ Power.
Now I have found a thread in a sub forum of another phone but was hoping to find a Razr HD XT925 specific fix,
I will link the forums for reference but I am worried I may have bricked my phone.
When I do get it to boot it is practically the stock ROM but no Gapps, some buttons dont work.

Someone here might have an easier fix, but you could try Matt's utility to bring it back to stock and start again.

I did something stupid and installed rom manager, it corrupted my recovery. I restored to stock rom i found online using odin but it says you need to wipe factory settings to make it boot. The recovery is now the stock one but it displays error messages and when I choosed a command it does nothing. What should I do?
EDIT: I flashed another stock rom this time i could boot into the phone. Some of my apps went missing and superuser went missing. It was a little weird. The recovery still shows errors and no command. It says
"can't access to '/system/csc/VAU/system". I don't think I can root it again and install a custom rom. I dont know what is the right thing to do now. I just want to root it and install a rom
EDIT2: I installed another recovery called Amon-RA recovery and I still get errors. I am thinking maybe the recovery partition is corrupted. I get these errors.
