Depending on how wrong things go...When I attempted my first soft-mod,
using the hard drive hotswap technique and UDE2, it didn't work, so I
tried to restore the backup that supposedly gets created as the first
step. Welllll.....Let's just say I used the wrong restore command, and
the first step formatted my hard drive (blowing away my backup...whoops.)
I think it would have been recoverable with a lot of work, and I could
have tried again, but instead I just got a modchip installed by a local
guy, and he kindly also restored my hard drive to a usable state.
So, with a failed softmod you should be able to install a modchip and
recover from some pretty serious booboos.
