No, your not "bricked". If you can get into download or recovery your fine, a bootloop just means you screwed something up and didnt flash correctly or correct roim maybe.
Start over, restock using overcome guide/pack, then flash the correct cm9 via recovery for your model/variant.

No way to avoid stock when "only" CWM recovery is "gone"
Hi all,
the last CW-9 nightly update finally did it... boot loop and CWM recovery can not be selected any more (Vol UP and Power). Download mode (Vol DOWN and Power) works, but I would really hate to restock, because my only nandroid backup and Titanium backups are on the internal SD and that would get formatted in the process.
I looked around for other phones and it seems as if they can simply load an image of CWM 6.xxx via ODIN (I tried fastboot but that did not find my device at all).
I could not find any CWM V6 image as a .tar file anywhere. Anyony have a link?
Does anyone know a simple and fast way to get back my nandroid state WITHOUT restock?
Thanks

Thanks pressed for that! At least now I know why fastboot did not work...
Still, does anyone know if I can fix the boot image with Odin ... or Heimdal or whatever?

Did yu read it or not?
The guy has your exact problem and solved.
But since you ask again.
extract the boot.img from good package and
heimdall flash --kernel ./boot.img --recovery ./boot.img

Yesss Sir, I did read. But maybe you sent the wrong link, because your "answer" (not his) points a an open question. Or how do you read his last sentence "does anybody know how I can go about doing this?" -- As to the heimdall solution, I tried that, only to find that it was unable to write to my internal SD. So, i guess the partition scheme got messed up :crying::crying::crying:
Anyway, I gave up (this time) and restocked. Back to my last accessible data backup from May...:crying:
Should somebody still find a "real" answer, please do respond. Even if the answer should be a clear "it can't be done", so be it. Or ask St. :angel: CDESAI to please please make "our" version of CW Reboot.

I sent you the right link for those who messed up their kernel .
If your partition gone bad then no wonder it won't work.
Now you have restocked, you can always start from scratch.

Maybe its not allowing it since it is already updated. You could revert to ICS then start over and that should do the trick.

AP Fastboot - from powered off, hold down volume-up AND volume-down, then while holding those, press and hold the power button until you see a menu pop-up that's simply white text on a black background. Once that comes up, use volume-down to move down to AP Fastboot, and volume-up to select it. Then plug it into your computer, fire up rsdlite (6.1.4! ), open the file linked in the OP, and go!

[Q] Galaxy S5 Stuck in Infinite Recovery Boot Cycle

I have had my S5 for two days now. I haven't done any modifications to it and have kept it completing stock. I was browsing the internet in Chrome when I got a notification saying there was a security breach and that the phone needed to restart in order to undue any changes made. So I pressed the restart button and it started to restart normally until I saw in tiny blue text "RECOVERY BOOTING....", I didn't think much of it until nothing started to happen after a minute. I let it go for another 5 minutes and then 15 minutes. I came back and still it was at the same screen. I decided to turn the device off and on to see if that would do anything, nothing happened. I took the battery out and waited a few minutes to put it back in, again nothing new. I was looking into other threads about this happening to other phones because the S5 is so new there is nothing on it doing this. But I found no useful information. So my question is, how can I fix this? I don't mind having to reset it, there's only a few apps installed. I'm tech savvy, so I'll now what you mean if you give me any tips. Thank you!

If doesn't matter if you lost the installed apps, then boot to recovery and choose wipe data reset factory and then wipe data cache.then restart your mobile it should solve your problem.

I should have mentioned this in the post but I have tried that, nothing happens. It's already trying to boot into recovery, I wonder if I can get it out of trying to do that.

Try to boot into download mode then restart normally, maybe it gets you out of the recovery booting loop.

I think you should download the stock rom from sammobile or samsung-updates.com sites and reinstall it again.

Hey guys,
I was going to flash a rom when I accidentally wiped my entire system and internal storage.
Now whenever I turn on the phone it just stays at the white screen with the bootloader unlocked message from motorola.
Need help to recover my device.

If it's unlocked you're ok.. Really depending on version your still ok... Hard reset it.. Power+ Vol down.. Once off his the keys again to enter fastboot... From there use the volume keys to get back into recovery... Them sideload a ROM.

You can also flash your stock firmware with fast boot....or rsdlite. If the files are out there. Just make sure if you were on 4.4.2....you stick to 4.4 2.
Good luck!!

[Q] Been a while, at a complete loss

I gave my X to my son last year and it became extremely slow since then. It was running a version of Liquid Smooth. I was attempting to install CM11 on it following the instructions to the T, and then it became stuck, I'm stuck. I thought it already had CWM installed on it, but when it rebooted to recovery, the factory recovery came up. I formatted the system and the cache and then tried to install TWRP, it failed. I tried 2 different date factory roms and both gave me a sideload error. I even tried to flash 2.3.4.4.5.621.no.radio.sbf.zip but it also gave me a sideload error. I guess my question is where do I go from here? There's nothing on the phone at all, all I can do is boot to recovery. The usb port is dead, we use a wall charger to charge the battery.

It did have cwm installed, you needed to select recovery when in rom, by long pressing power button>reboot>recovery

if you see mem blank error try

usually that means rsd lite and/sbf is buried in too many folders, try placing sbf on desktop
if it ends in .sbf.zip or .sbf it's ok if any thing else needs to be uncompressed manually
and verify md5 checksums

I flashed the 605 sbf and it went through all of it and then at the end it said passed. the screen was blank but the led in the top left corner was green. I unplugged the phone and it went back to bootloader with the blank message. I'm flashing the one you mentioned above right now.
sweet, that one worked. Now to see if I can get the OTA update.

you're right, I just wanted to install a custom rom. I've managed to get it rooted and cwm installed now, it's just that once I'm in cwm, there's no way to select the command I want. the volume buttons move the selection, but none of the buttons make it respond. it just takes away the text and shows the back ground image.
