So I didn't backup anything to my computer after venturing out into the land of Jelly Bean (for the second time, this time JellyBelly 3.4!) and soft bricks. I soft bricked and couldn't get back to anything!
Should have backed up...except...i fastboot flashed TWRP recovery, mounted usb and am currently pulling my entire sdcard to a folder on my Ubuntu laptop. Sure, I have to work at 6:30a, but I can't loose the pictures of my son and family.
Thank you for this glorious post. You saved me a lot of anguish. It was already bad enough someone stole my wife's phone and cost us all her photos. My tinkering shouldn't be the cause of any more lost photos.
Thank you.

No problem The whole internet...and I never read that either. Luckily I just thought "let me try one more thing".
I cannot get the sdk to see the device because the device keeps rebooting, what then. It stays on in bootloader, but when I type adb devices, no devices are found. Please help.
As a result of trying several things, I also messed up the recovery to where I no longer can go into recovery at all. Is there any hope for my phone?
If you can still get into fastboot you should be able to flash a recovery. Download the toolkit because it shows you what you can do in various modes.
adb commands go nowhere, I have had it working before this issue, but I will try the driver you suggest. Thanks and I will let you know.
ADB won't work in fastboot. You have to be booted into the OS or in recovery (twrp is the only recovery that I could get ADB to work in).
