    Yup...

    Loads of guides over on XDA...

    Download the Android SDK and roll up the sleeves... :-)

    Install TWRP right now. Its a life saver, and also do a nandroid backup with whatever ROM your using right now (stock preferable).

    Secondly, if your phone is "bricked", it could be a soft brick. Hold both volume keys and power button for about 10 seconds and it should reboot into the bootloader which you can then figure out whats causing the issue (TWRP comes in handy here).

    Out of interest, what were you flashing that caused it to soft brick?
