After you Odin back to stock go to recovery and do a factory reset it'll boot all the way after that

Exactly. 99% of people don't know what bricked is lol...

You are correct there, they really don't know what a brick is, a brick is you hit a button and NOTHING happens, soft brick is any type of display comes up, it is a soft brick..and CAN BE FIXED.

no recovery

With the new roms out I am trying them all. But when I try to restore my rom volume down and power my phone just restarts. What am I doing wrong? Also when I try to make a nandroid back up with vol dn and power I dont see that option. I do have rom manager on my phone Ive been told to not trust rom manager so Im trying to do it manually but?
After removing and reinserting your battery you're pressing volume down and power (at the same time) until it you see the white HTC screen?

That will get you to your bootloader and from there to recovery. Sometimes it's the simpleless thing, or just one missing step, that can something frustrating. Glad I could help.

Go into Menu*Settings*power and tick off Fast Boot and you wont have to do a battery pull anymore, then you can power down then got into hboot. But i bought the best app ever, called reboot scheduler and i use that as a 4-1 reboot since we dont have it on the doubleshot :-/

I had a similar issue like yours earlier.. I had to pop the back off my nexus and disconnect the battery. I rebooted into recovery and fixed the problem there by using the all in one tool kit through my pc.
I had the same exact issue less than a week ago....all I had to do was hold all 3 buttons (power, volume up and down) till screen goes blank...then quickly let go and hold those same 3 buttons down and poof...your back in fast boot mode....there you can flash back to the Google stock IMG....it worked for me after hours of trying to figure out how to get off that Google screen....lemme know how it works for ya.

already done it but im still at somesort of stock recovery what should i do next?
When you say stock recovery do you mean the bootloader, if so toggle the vol button until it says recovery then hit the power button, hopefully Twrp will boot, if not try one of the tools in the dev,s section to do a full stock recovery from your pc

How to force into recovery

I just got my Nexus yesterday I absolutely love it I can't figure out the button combination to force into clockwork recovery I can use the app to get into recovery what is there a button combination that will put me into recovery please help me thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
You could just do adb reboot recovery when it's booted.. much simpler than random button combinations (I've never got those to work either).

You can do this by holding both volume up and volume down together when powering on. Then you use the volume rocker to select recovery option.

Actually it's just vol down + power.
I ended up in download mode last time I tried vol up + vol down + power
Thanks I thought those combinations brought you into fast boot.. I guess what your saying it's from there you can select recovery....

When i try to reboot into anything it goes straight to this.
3 button combo.
Hold power, home and volume up.
When the blue texts shows in the upper left corner of the splash screen, release power and continue to hold the home and vol up buttons. You will get to recovery.

Yea i understand where your trying to get me. It used to go there. But now the second I try any sort of power up it gets to the screen and shows the blue text in the top left for a split second and then goes straight to odin
Trust me, it should work, just try. That is a method if the 2 button combo does not work.

I was able to get my phone to turn back on. But getting into recovery mode is not happening. I've done the buttons I've done the settings reset. All of them when I try to reboot it goes straight to Odin mode. Nothing else. I help the 3 down for 2 mins and still just went and stayed Odin.

Are you holding volume up or down?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
Did the op try to flash a recovery and rom on mf3, because if you did you're hosed. You won't be able to get into recovery. Not even sure jtag will help you.
happened to me yesterday...download Kies and go to tools and do the emergency firmware tool thing...put in your model SGH-I337 and your serial number and assuming your computer reads your phone in odin mode (it should if you have the drivers that come with kies) then sit back and let it restore your device to factory stock...
I did it successfully and rooted with motochopper. Now im currently running Kangabean 4.3 with no problems whatsoever.
