Root Bootloop while SBF

Ok I drank to much last night so let's get that out of the way. I have SBF many times but today my phone will not cooperate. Everything seems to be going find anf the process gets to the point where it says it is rebooting the phone. The phone gets stuck in a bootloop at the red eye. The RSD Lite says to Poer up the phone manually. The phone is in a bootloop so I can't turn it off so I can power it up. Any suggestions.

Same thing happened to me today lol, wiped in stock recovery and was fine
 
unplug your phone and pull the battery. once the battery is back in hold the power button and the home button. when you see the !triangle hit the search button. then do a wipe/reset
 
Good News guys. Did the wipe and factory reset again and it worked. Thanks for the help.

Oh yeah I didn't drink to much just wanted some sympathy.

Believe That?
 
I just used the D2 bootstrap and wiped data/cache. Loaded the 3 part GB files and then reboot. It's stuck at the red "M" logo.......how long does it take to move from there? I waited a couple of minutes and then pulled the battery..still stuck @ the red "M"

It takes a while for your DX to reconfigure after you install the 3 GB 588 files. I know it took longer than a couple of minutes for my DX. Was ready to a battery pull when boom! the lockscreen appeared.

How long did you wait before you did the battery pull?
 
It was stuck at the red M for about 9 minutes.....i pulled batt and tried again. another 10 min went by......I've just performed my first SBF :) this sucks!

I will try to redownload the 3 part files, maybe they were corrupt? Thanks for the fast response!
