Hi bro, no panic please it will be okay !!
Do you have jig ? if you have use it and try to come in Download mode
Then flash the stock and you are done

That sounds like the phone is in forced download mode. Does Odin recognise the phone when you hook it up to PC ? Obviously ensure you have Kies/drivers installed, and make sure Kies or any process related to isn't running in task manager. If Odin does recognise it, go to Sammobile & get stock firmware/flash it thru Odin.
If this doesn't work, and you can't get into download mode proper, in your own words, you're f****d. You could try a jig, but more than likely won't work (still worth a try tho).
So it's either a JTAG repair by a non-Samsung repairer (probably cheapest) Vs repair by Samsung with you paying (probably more expensive).

Before flash the ROM, please provide the phone details . Like I9100 or I9100 T or AT&T and country ..
So that we will provide extract info

Bro. Stop using Odin to flash roms. Flash through clockworkmod recovery. Visit galaxys2root c o m. Follow the instructions. Its simple an easy.

and thanks for helping me out

Its because you have an I9100G version. Wrong section of the forum. If you flash the international version again, you will end up with the same problem. I think there are only a couple of custom roms for the G version.

Bro, as said above. Please make sure you know what's you're doing before flashing. you flashed the wrong ROM. You could avoid wasting 500 bucks :-(
Good luck

I'd say don't worry.
Just go to Original Development and find a i9100G stock rom and flash it through odin.
Search for bricked in General section there's a tutorial somewhere to unbrick your phone.
Stay calm and it's fixable. Samsung phones are basically very difficult to [email protected]

That's either not true, or you're not as smart as we thought. Well wait, no one thought that . It's funny though. I bet you impatiently flashed some incompatible ROM, or you haven't followed the instructions exactly.

I think what Saw is getting at is this. What happened to your phone happened because you didn't do the research. And if someone here spoonfeeds you what you're asking, what if you balls it up ? Same result. Bricked phone. Unless someone is actually sitting there with you doing it for you, there's no point someone else telling you what to do.
What you need to do is read/learn until you both understand what it is you want to do with your phone, why you want to do it and most importantly, know how to do it. Do not do anything to your phone if you're not confident (like you aren't now) or are unsure or scared of bricking your phone.
You have a lot of reading/learning to do so if you really want to root your phone, install a custom rom or whatever, I suggest you get started with that & wait until you're able to do it without being told what/how by someone else.
