Hello,

i was trying some custom roms and the latest nightly build from cynanogen for my swift, but got somehow stuck in a bootloop.
Now i also can't access the bootloader. If i press volume up and connect USB the device is not booting and there is no device shown if i use "fastboot device".
I am still able to boot into recovery, but flashing any rom is not working, because of the bootloop.
Nevertheless i can boot to the bootloader from the recovery, but no device is recognized.
Any suggestion or is my device bricked?

Since you can access recovery why don't you try flashing Cyanogen OS using adb sideload?

Thanks for your hint, but i managed to access the bootloader. I could't access the bootloader because my battery was empty. After it was charged for a while i was able boot into the bootloader.
I also got rid of the bootloop by erase some partitions like described here or here

After that i was able to flash the current cyanogen nightly again.

If sideload still not working, you should consider the stock rom. Then backup, then flash the custom rom.

It's gonna be a while before cortana comes to Cyanogen OS since it's still US only.
