Stuck on Android is Upgrading: Starting Applications

What happens when you hold down volume up and down at the same time for several seconds?

And what do you mean by take off battery?

Nothing happen.
When take off the battery i unscrew the torx and screw again.

I'm confused as to where you're having a problem. But to clarify what happened to me, what has not and seemingly cannot be resolved and I've sought some expert advice that now believe I have some kind of hardware problem, here it is:

I RSD'd my phone back to 217. It passed all tests on the RSD app. It wouldn't hang up on boot. I have tried every combination of factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache you can imagine. I have flashed it with ICS tools instead. ALL PASSED. Won't boot. There is NO safestrap because safestrap is software you install after you're running android. This phone is now stock, and won't boot. It will never again have or be able to have safestrap, unless I can get android to boot again.

There was a second when I thought the cable mattered, because it booted ONCE. Then rebooting hung back where it previously had.

I have since purchased a new D4 and done the exact same steps I did here, and it worked swimmingly. SS3, 2 used romslots. 1 has eclipse 1.3.5 and the other has AOKP's JB 11/3. It took about 10 minutes to put all that **** on the new one because it worked... exactly how it was supposed to and nothing like my POS former d4 behaved.

He says he got the phone when it was stuck after applying the ICS OTA, so he tried SBF and the ICS root tool but it doesn't boot. He also says it didn't have safestrap.

Strakajagr, when you first started the process did you uninstall recovery and then uninstall safestrap? Sometimes people forget to uninstall the recovery. RSD doesn't completely wipe the internal memory, I happened to be poking around after I RSD'd ICS and found some old safestrap v1 files, as well as stuff from apps I long ago uninstalled.

When I RSD'd the first time, I booted into the stock recovery (before safestrap) and did a factory reset/data wipe before applying the 217 image. After that, there was no safestrap anymore.

Maybe it was a hardware problem. You went through all the same steps I would've done if I was in your shoes.

Now that you got SS3 with Eclipse and AOKP, I'm thinking of taking the plunge. I'm just not motivated enough to start from scratch when I have Eclipse running perfectly.

Yeah what kills me is that the phone still communicates with my PC so I refuse to call it bricked. But now it's more of a long term project. Every time someone has some new idea, I try it, but to no avail.

I think that some part of the phone memory is with errors that RSD or the ICS Tool cannot erase. I dont know if it exist some box or some diagram to do a testpoint to erase all the memory and do a fresh install.
I did every steps and flashed many times the phone with no luck. I give up

try using this http://omniimpact.com/android/roms/myfishbear/tools/unstuck ICS_for_droid_4 217.rar flash the 217 kern with fastboot than flash the 217 sbf file

I tried that but no make sense. Blank screen.
That method flash boot.img of the 217 and then you flash the sbf that have the boot.img of the 217. You flash twice the same file.
