'Odin doesn't work the phone/PC don't recognise each other' has been covered here more than a few times over the past week or so. Search for those threads; there are set of troubleshooting steps you need to go through (you've done some of them but not all).
Edit - And please don't double post. Make a thread, wait patiently for help.

Oi ! Stop bumping your thread (Bumping not permitted inside 24 hrs) :-/ I told you how to fix your phone yesterday. As I said to someone else in the same situation an hour or two ago, either keep trying the troubleshooting steps (I'm almost certain you're not doing something really small/obvious as is nearly always the situation with these cases. And to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't searched for similar threads as advised), or take it to a service centre.
And I'm not posting to this thread again, so you can forget about the drip feed/20 questions thing.

[How To] Recover from a soft brick GS2

Hi, I was trying to root my device with insecure kernel, and then my device hangs on galaxy i9100 boot screen,
so, I've tried to restore my stock kernel, but it didn't help...
finally I've tried to flash the jpkg2 stock rom from intratec thread, also the same...
i tried this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and my phone stoped at this
and with fully falied odion tests...
now I can enter the download mode.
but recovery mode is not working
Note: there was no Kies when I did this, after that I tried all the things before with kies installed, and with samsung_usb_driver, and still got no success.
Note: Odion recognize my device, download mode is fine.
any help would be apprecciated.
Quite clearly not a "How To", and what was wrong with your other thread?
plz help i9100 dead.
im trying here to make it more clearly
I did't find any help in my last thread, so I tried to be more specific here.
Taken from Intratech's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
........................
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First thing I notice when looking at your screenshot is that you have ticked re-partition.
Second thing I notice is that you have tried to flash a PIT file.
Maybe that's where you are going wrong??
I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18961761&postcount=9
this man was unable to flash his device " Odion Fail"
so one of the suggestions was to use another computer, and yeh!! it works for him.

What was wrong with the replies? You didn't find a magic fix to your problem, which in all honesty, was just you being stupid putting the wrong files into the Odin boxes. If you want a magic fix, send your phone to Samsung and pay for the fix they do.
If you want a normal fix, listen to the replies given in the other thread. Don't start spamming new topics everywhere with the same question just because you don't like the answer. Remember, you killed your phone and others are actually trying to help you fix it....

Is it not recognizing at all, as in your go into your Device Manager and it doesn't change at all when you plug and unplug the device, or does it not load the driver correctly? There's a big difference between the 2 and how to resolve.

Well, there's either another mode for it to be in to let the PC recognize it that you haven't found or it's really in trouble. Unfortunately, I've no idea.

[Q] Help, Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 Bricked.

Okay so i have let this sit for a while now becuase i just said forget about it i will get a new one later in time. well i changed my mind. A while back i tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 (Model: YP-Gl1CB/XAA) And (I believe this is what happened) I didn't pay attention to what i was doing and i believe i replaced the boot-loader with a WIFI backup? I know chances are i cannot fix this and its garbage now but i would like to give it one more shot. hopefully if i didn't explain something up here the pictures will help.
Note: I used these following threads to attempt the root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884071 (zebluk) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885374&nocache=1 (alice90)

I also cannot connect it to my laptop, nor can i access download mode anymore. that is the only screen i have been able to access.
I know i didn't go into much detail. but if someone can help it would be much appreciated. also if anyone needs more detail i will be glad to add more.
EDIT: I have been able to get to the download mode main screen (press up to go into download mode or down to cancel and reboot.) but pressing up locks it up again.

Dude you if actually did that you replaced your bootloader files the core of download/odin mode so you cannot flash any rom or kernel to fix that but i have had a similar problem on my 4.2 use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308221 from an experienced gp dev to fix mine (read through the comments) (i never replaced my bootloader files so i cannot guarantee this fix just had the error screen )but if you actually replaced your bootloader files you may have a hard bricked player try a usb jig it may not do much but you never know

i9100 wont charge

Hello, I have a little question, recently a friend told me if I can fix his i9100, cause "it remains at logo"
My surprise was that the phone doesnt even charge, when I plug it to the power, a battery that aparently is loading apears, for 2 segs, and then the screen turn off, and then the battery icon agains, and remains in a infinite loop but wont charge
Someone have this problem and knows how to repair it? I wish the problem isnt hardware :/
This is the exact icon i say:

Thank you very much for your answer, it makes me happy that possibly the problem has a fix, but, please, can you link me the fix, i searched before (maybe i didn't search properly) but I didn't found it, please help me, thanks in advance!
You will have to reflash a stock rom using ODIN. Don't worry because there are many guides over the internet. Guide: http://mobilenetworkcomparison.org.uk/tutorials/how-to-restore-the-stock-samsung-galaxy-s2-rom/
Make sure you download the rom for the correct version of phone!
Once you've flashed stock rom, make sure to factory reset and wipe cache partition. (note: don't do this if you are going to flash ics because this might hard brick your device)
