Stuck on cog wheel screen :/

Me too. I'm trying to do soft resets while the cog wheels spin, but the phone simply restarts and goes back to the cog wheels.

Darn it, my live tiles were not updating automatically for several months and I thought that a hard reset would fix it. Well....

I went to my nearest Microsoft Store and they flashed the phone for me. 5 minutes later, I'm back in the game! Phew!
