As long as you can get into fastboot you are never ****ed.
First link is how to go back to stock, second link is to a toolkit that might work and so is the third.

I've read all the soft brick threads I could get my hands on. If I missed something, I'm sorry for that in advanced.
Symptoms: When power button held down, "Samsung" appears in white, then switches to the blue glowing "Samsung" won't turn off unless I pull the battery. I cannot access the download menu.
What the [email protected]%$ did I do?: I was following the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28350575&postcount=1 and I finished step 6 and started step 7. On step 7 it wiped the data but froze on the cache. After 2 hours of waiting for it to clear I tried a hard reset and hear I am.
Any ideas to try and fix this? Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Ok but what version?
I am only aware of one version of CWM that works correctly and that's 5.8.1.3. Lots of recoveries seem to have issues wiping the cache which results in soft brick issues.
Follow these steps:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/touch-clockworkmod-recovery-for-rogers-and-att-skyrocket-sgh-i727/
Then try wiping your cache again, and reboot. If all is well, then re-try the steps to flash Embryo.
Power button isn't stuck.
Sorry, I couldn't access and so don't know what version of cwm but that did look familiar. Was trying Touch Recovery. I'll follow the steps on the link.
That fixed it perfectly. Thank you for your assistance.
Any idea why it wouldn't let me go into the download menu before?

Great, good to hear it's sorted out.
By download menu are you referring to Download mode used with Odin, or recovery menu?
The phone can be finicky with getting into recovery sometimes, I find this exact sequence of steps to always work:
Hold down vol+ and vol-
Hold down power
Wait for phone to vibrate once every 2 seconds
Release power, continue holding vol+ and vol-
Recovery should load.
Otherwise, I have no idea.

No idea on the download mode thing.
Glad to help.
Edit: How did you get into download mode to flash touch CWM 5.8.1.3 if download mode wasn't working? It sounded to me like the phone was bootlooping/locking up due to cache issues. As far as I know download mode can only be accessed starting from a state of OFF and not mid boot if that's what you were trying?

Ahh, live and learn... I had similar issues when I first got this phone and it took me a while to sort it all out. Was extremely happy once I finally got ICS flashed and working though, and now I am a flashaholic.

I've learned quite a bit just by reading development threads for various roms and trying them out, and reading the Q&A forum to see what issues people are having. But there is a lot to learn, I haven't tried any development as of yet..
For the most part just follow steps in the ROM threads verbatim and you should not have too many issues, now that you have a working recovery that is.
Yea, I should do some more reading on here. I love learning this new stuff anyway. I've gotta get to work but thank you for your help. let me know if there are any threads that you found particularly helpful besides the basics. Good night.
hi there,
I'm running CM11 nightly late feb. For no apparent reason my phone went into a boot loop this morning (n.b. I didn't flash a new rom or installed a new app). Now it constantly reboots (literally) and doesn't get further than the CM11 boot video or google logo.
If I press volume down and power, it will head into bootloader - but - I can't navigate beyond 'shut down' or 'restart bootloader'. It doesn't execute two consecutive volume up or down commands. In other words, it's impossible to get into recovery mode. Also, because my phone doesn't boot further than the video or logo, I can't make a fastboot or adb connection via my laptop.
Does anybody know how I can fix this issue? I'm clearly running out of luck. Many thx in advance!
reflash recovery?
Try to boot into recovery with cmd: fastboot boot TWRP.img (TWRP or your current custom recovery)
Then restore a nandroid backup or wipe data/system/dalvik
You can still flash the factory images. Fastboot mode is enough. Guide

Stuck power button. Mash the power button really fast for 20 seconds to unstick whatever is in there.

can't flash anything, because phone is constantly rebooting. Have opened up the phone and took the battery out for 1 minute. Didn't help either. After starting up the phone I get stuck in the boot loop again.
Anyone else an idea?

The phone doesn't reboot in the bootloader right?
If it doesn't either do what primokorn said or flash the factory image.

Well the issue is that it only stays for a fraction of a second in bootloader, which gives it enough time to navigate one step up or down. Not enough time to get into recovery.
How can I do what Primoken said? It doesn't seem to be possible to do a flash when the phone is constantly rebooting?
Thx for helping me out guys, much appreciated!

Have you ever kept your phone in narrow pocket? Because it's definitely sounds to me like a stuck power button.

It's not a power issue. Also unscrewed my phone to see if that was what caused it. Nothing in there, mechanism functioned correctly.
UPDATE: For some reason my phone booted up out of nothing. I managed to flash an older ROM via CM Updater (through settings)- which seemed to work. Apps were updated and it was running normally. But after a couple of minutes it restarted out of the blue and now back to square one again.
Guess there's a chance I'll probably get a normal start up soon. Is it a good idea to do a factory whipe restart through the settings menu? Or is Primokorn's method safer?

No, after I exited the boot loader the phone was stuck on teh booting "Google" message and that lasted about 5 mins, I tried to restart it, turned it off and now nothing will happen.

So try this.
Keep pressing power button till shut down,then try to enter bootloader by power button + volume down.
The guide you linked....if followed properly will not brick you.
Any more details? What you did exactly....errors....anything??
Did you press the power button for a very long time to see if anything happens?
Are you sure its fully charged? Any sign of life when plugged into charger....or computer???

I get a sound when plugged into the computer, I'm not sure if I extracted the right files to the platform-tools thing or whatnot, I also entered "fastboot flash boot boot.img" not sure if any of those was ment to be the name of my image.
This is what my platform-tools folder looks like.

Edit: Holding the power button for a very long time got the phone to show the "Google" logo again, I'll try and get it to boot into bootloader.
The phone is now in bootloader.

Hi all,
Did a factory data reset with a rooted, bootloader unlocked XT925 on stock jb and now its bricked. I can't access recovery, and when I do the simulated battery pull by pressing both volume keys and power button, it shows the moto dual core screen, before going to the android with the blue bar underneath usually seen while updating for about 30 seconds before briefly flashing the android on its side with the red triangular warning sign above it, then it powers off.
Is there anything I can do to save it? I had modified the start up animation which I think may be causing it. It won't even show up when plugged into my computer.
Thanks
Hi there :
At this point, can you get your xt925 on fastboot mode by pressing volume up and power while it is off? if so, you can just go ahead and flash a 4.1.2 rom. Since your BL is unlocked you can download one from any region that suits you.

i have seen an unusual trend of hard bricks coming from fdr's recently. i cant begin to explain it, or offer a fix for it.
unfortunately from what you have described, your phone seems to be gone.
i can only suggest that anyone having issues with there phone, that they think a fdr would fix, dont do it!! re-flash with rsd instead until we determine what is causing this.
i know its not wide spread, but i wouldnt risk it just the same.

Nope fastboot is inaccessible. Oh well! Sad this happened just before I updated to the loooong awaited KK build as well. Luckily I found a Sony Xperia Z1 for a great price so off to new things (and new subsection of XDA).
Thanks for the replies everyone!
on the other hand Xperia is a good unit

well to get into recovery you hold the volume down button after the Sony splash screen the phone should emit a green led and vibrate if you hold down the volume down it should turn purple to enter recovery. If you can't get that far you will need flashtool. If you just wanted root you could have used kingroot. or you could flash a prerooted zip. Thats if you had already installed xz dual recovery ater flashing if not just try reflashing in flashtool.
