I have a Galaxy s3 VZW that I rooted and tried to flash MOAR ROM and now all I get is logo on the phone. What is the difference between soft and hard bricked and will a USB Jig help me?

Hey mate. Did you make a backup in recovery mode before flashing the rom? Isnt MOAR for Sprint?
Can you boot into recovery (pull battery then boot the phone by holding in Power, Home and Volume Up at same time) ?

Just like funky mentioned, can you get into your recovery? If not, how about download mode? Did you nandroid before hand?
If you can get into recovery, if you don't have a nandroid, I'd do all the necessary wipes and try a re flash.
You checked the md5 beforehand right?
@funky moar is sprint, but it's also been ported to vzw as well

Soft brick is where the phone turns on, but one finish a complete boot for one reason or another. A hardbrick is where there is no life from the device at all and won't turn at all. A USB Jig is meant to help get the device into Download/Odin mode if the device turns on, but won't do it on it's own.

It might seem silly, but have you tried yanking the battery and then replacing it and then trying the button combos to get into either of those modes?
