What exactly does the soft reset do? Hard reset obviously puts the phone back to out of the box state, but what would I lose doing a soft set?

Soft reset is often called also "Battery pull". It does the same as if you pull the battery off of the device. It's designed for devices with sealed batteries.

"If something goes wrong" means ?
If something goes wrong then what to do ?

Usually if the cogs are spinning like that and it won't recover (which is very rare....but most people don't let it continue to run for several hours in the instances when something hangs) then you can do a blind flash using the various Nokia tools out there on the web.

There's no set spin count. It's just an animation...it's more about the length of time that it takes for it finish. If it doesn't finish properly and runs into issues as was being mentioned above they can just keep spinning and spinning for hours.

A blind flash is normally done when you're having issues with a device and can't get it to respond, but it can still at least be detected at a basic level by one of the various Nokia software flashing tools. You can usually do what's called a blind flash where you can't see progress on the device, but you can see it in the app. It's usually the last step to try to save a device that otherwise may be dead.

Then suggest a good blind flash software 😞

The steps are giver there ?? ��

There are only U.K. and U.S. version, but im in India. What should I do ? ��������

Both of them are In English , it does not matter where you are from. After installing it might take some time to download the OS core files which can go upto 1GB (it is going to download windows phone 8 with gdr3 update bundled with nokia black update ).

One more question i like to ask that for update Lumia device I will have to give the device to nokia care or do it myself like GDR3 ??

You can do that yourself , by going into phone settings ->phone updates -> check phone for updates.
Btw if you are flashing your phone you won't need to install gdr3 after flashing as flashing will install the latest os and firmware.
