Stuck in boot loop

I was flashing Supercharged V5 Rom and followed all the instructions step by step, everything went fine until I rebooted and now I'm stuck in the boot loop.
I can't access CWM no matter what methods I try.
How can I get out of this so I can re-flash my back up and get to stock again?

first off it sounds like you need to flash the FXZ to get your phone back.
here is a link for that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607083
when you did the restore, did you wipe/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik?

Yes I did all that it said to do, I'm not sure where went wrong. I never had an issue with rom's on my OG Atrix.
Thank you so much for the FXZ, I couldn't find it anywhere and that's all I need. Just a soft brick

Your welcome.

I'd flash the the cwm on boot mod so you can always restore. I speak from experience. Ive been where you are before

I have used the other one without problems too bu this should work. You will always boot into cwm so you can restore if softbricked. Hit reboot to boot normallu

Okay so I'm using the script method described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539167
However I find it unclear of what exactly to do with the script?
I'd rather use this before using RSD.

Its the same thing essentially. Never used it though

So using the method you posted, how am I supposed to access those two apps needed in order for it to work?

If you are still bricked you have no choice but to fzx back to stock. Then root and install the bootstrap. Backup. Do the cwm on boot stuff. Flash your desired rom. Now if you bootloop you can pull the battery a.d your back un cwm to restore a backup or reflash

Okay yeah I was confused for a minute. I'm just waiting for the FXZ to finish downloading.

Good luck and backup often. Dont forget the thanks button exists if ive helped

Thank you very much!
Now my problem is RSD doesn't want to recognize my phone. I have all the latest drivers, current version of RSD and everything. Running as administrator as well.

Powering on

Hey guys i just got this phone from a random on craigslist and hes unlocked the bootloader and stopped there. I dnt know what method he used but in order to power on the device i have to use certain button combos. Example it boots straight to recovery so i reboot now and while its rebooting i have to hold both volume buttons and the power until a white lettered screen pops up and use volume up to power on. And tips? Ty in advance.

on the white-lettered screen try and choose Bootloader. if you can get there you can flash either CWM or TWRP recovery, then flash a working system, or else do a full firmware flash with RSD Lite. or if he already flashed a custom recovery you could boot there and try flashing a working ROM.

Hes got cwm on here. And from what i can tell just rooted the stock rom. Ive never seen a device having a method to power on except maybe a semi tethered jailbroken iphone. Idk

Any suggestions for roms for when i get this figured out?
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app

The device should turn on normally, unless he did something to put it in a bootloop. That's why i figured your basic option was to do a stock restore of some kind.
Check the dev. sections, but rooted stock is basically the only option at present. There are starts on CM9 and CM10 builds, but i don't think they do a whole lot besides boot up. There is a deodexed version of stock that you can flash, and at least apply some tweaks and such

Right on thanx man ill try it and see what happens.

Ok new topic. I think the dude i got the phone from unlocked the bootloader but didnt root it. He said it was rooted. But when i dl rom manager it said i wasnt. So i guess my question is how do i root the thing?
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app

Ah ok, if the bootloader is unlocked, just flash either CWM or TWRP recovery thru Fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash SU.
Edit: after flashing recovery, make sure to boot straight into recovery by holding the volume up button while rebooting. If you boot into the system, it will probably overwrite your flash with stock recovery.

Hes already installed cwm. I cant use regular boot methods. When i reboot the phone it boots into recovery. Thats when i hold down all the buttons to bring up the boot options screen. So basically all i have to do is flash the su file? Btw I tried doing that along with flashing a kernel and cm9 it wouldnt boot into the rom.

I'm not sure how you're sending all these messages from a dead phone...
But regardless, CM9 doesn't really "work" per se. It boots, sure... but nothing else works.
You're going to have to flash one of the stock backups people posted around. I know there was a .win backup of everything - which you'll need TWRP to restore.

Three finger salute
Hold volume up, volume down and power until you get to the Samsung splash screen then release the power button. You should find yourself in recovery after the kernel splash screen. If it goes into your boot animation, you failed and should do it again.
Edit: I saw that most of your other stuff is with the SGSIII. Do you have a SGS4G that you are doing this on, or did you wonder here by mistake?

Pull the battery first, with the USB unplugged. Put the battery back in, then do the three finger salute. That's what I do when reboot loops happen for me...

yes guys! forget about the s3 sig, i have it also, but i rooted a sgs4g of my friend and installed Ccustom rom, not he had this issue after like 5 months i told him to reflash the ROM and hes in a bootloop, he CANT get into recovery :/, he cant boot only odin!.

If you are doing this via proxy (him actually doing what you tell him) then tell him to get rid of odin and download one of the Heimdall one clicks. If you can get into bootloader mode you can flash a back to stock.
Also If you pull the battery and wait a couple minutes then put it back while holding the three buttons sometimes that will jumpstart recovery mode.

We have an awesome guide on how to get back to stock gingerbread which will allow your friend to flash back to a stock rom if he can get into download mode. Full guide with pictures

Well of he is using odin, this is a better one click for him. You get rooted with a cwm kernel.

Problem in recovery

Ughhh... I am in recovery and after a restore , I go to reboot system and instead of going to rom it brings me back to recovery again. I can't get out of recovery. What can I do????
Thanks...

i'm having the same problem right now too.

Boot into download mode and hit the volume down to cancel (reboot)
Should work for now until there is a patch.

you can also use Odin to flash an old version.
Just remember to either use odin to flash an old version or find one through ROM Manager, so you don't get stuck in a boot loop again next time you restart the phone.

I am having the same problem. Booting to download mode, selecting yes then pulling the battery got me out of it. Very frustrating to say the least.
Is there a problem with the new CWM touch that just came out I wonder?

Sounds like you forgot to Un-Check Repartition in odin. Once you select the image you want to flash, it will auto-check the Repartition box (even if you unchecked it before). I would just try again and make sure its not checked before beginning

I made sure to uncheck repartition. I had a friend who was somewhat knowledgeable of this type stuff and he told me to do that... Is there anything else I could do?

where did you get the stock gingerbread from? k0nane's post?

Originally I didn't use that image but I tried this one from konanes post but its still in a boot loop...

No. NO. It's not a brick or anything. I recommend you flash ICS. It's much faster and better, also because it has it's own recovery. After you flash ICS you have to load up its recovery, hold the volume and the power button and wipe data and cache. It should boot flawlessly. If you do want gingerbread install clockwork mod and wipe cache and data. It should boot up.
