The thing is that I cant to get into the CW Recovery Mode either because the phone appears to be charging even without any cable. I know it is not a battery issue, because I have tried with other batteries and nothing changes.
I'd really appreciate any thought that anyone can throw in this because I have read and tried so many things that I'm starting to think that I have bricked it.
You do not make it clear whether you are unable to get into download mode, or you get download mode but odin does not recognize the phone.
Attempt to enter download mode and connect to Odin while the battery is out:
Open odin on the desktop. Pull the battery, then hold the vol down button while plugging in the usb cable. let us know what happens.

Im sorry if I didnt make myself clear.
I can make it to download mode but Odin doesnt recognize my phone, even though I have Samsung kies installed and it worked before with other roms. The thing about the battery is that the phone "thinks" that is charging all the time, which means that I can make it to the CW Recovery mode when I press Volume up + home + power button :crying:

So, did you try to connect to odin while the battery was pulled? What result did you get?

Nothing either, neither Odin nor the system recognized the phone in any moment.
Any other idea??
Start by assuming it is not the phone. Suspect the usual possibilities, and eliminate them one by one. It could be a problem with driver, usb port, usb cable, or PC.
1. Check in Windows uninstall programs dialog. You should have "Samsung USB driver for Mobile Phones." If not, install it. If so, uninstall it and reinstall the latest version.
2. Try another usb port. If a desktop computer, be sure to use a usb port that is directly connected to the motherboard. Try all the ones that are available.
3. Try another usb cable. Use the original cable that came with the phone. Try any other cable you can put your hands on.
4. Try another computer. One person even said they could never get their phone to connect on Windows and with Odin, but were able to flash it with a Mac using Heimdall.
If you exhaust all of those possibilities without success, then it is a fairly good bet that the problem is with the phone.

I tried uninstalling the samsung driver and installing it, but nothing. I'm pretty sure is a phone issue, most likely related with the ROM that had installed before, because i tried with my brother's phone, same model galaxy s2 I-777 and Odin recognizes it perfectly.
The thing is that if I cannot connect it to Odin, is there any other way I can flash it? like from a external micro SD card or something? Or any way I can access to the phone in download mode??

Heimdall performs the same basic operation as Odin, but it is built by a private individual, not by Samsung. You could try Heimdall from your PC, or if you could get a hold of a mac you could try Heimdall from it. I'd suggest the command line version, although it has a nice UI as well.
If you've tried all of the four points I posted, then that's all I know to do. But I wouldn't just try #1 and then pass up the other three because you are convinced the problem is in the phone.
Oh, and the final resort would probably be to send it to Josh at Mobile Tech Videos. (not free)

Ok, I don't know why but now Odin started to recognize it. It seems there is something wrong with the usb port and that's why the system couldn't recognize it. But now the problem is that the phone "thinks" that it is always charging and therefore I can't make it to the CW recovery mode, only to the download mode. So now, is there any way I can install some stable ROM on the phone from Odin???

Use Odin to flash one of the stock plus root firmwares; I suggest (4.0.4) I777UCLL6. See the link in my signature for correct thread. The OP of that thread also has full instructions for installing a custom kernel, and which one to use. Use Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro to flash a custom kernel with contains ClockworkMod Recovery. Then use CWM recovery to flash the firmware of your choice. Profit.
I tried to change the custom recovery...
and after flashing it the phone got bricked..
It can't load recovery but it can load Download Mode.
But unable to detect the phone in ODIN in PC..
Please Help
What recovery you used. You sure it was the right version for your phone.
Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...

Are you sure you have the Samsung drivers installed?
Else ODIN won't detect your phone.
Try to install drivers or try another USB cable, another port, another Odin version
Good night
Well, this morning I tried to make a backup of my rom using the rom manager. It failed and I got stuck in the CWM. I've already tried flashing other roms (transwin and bionic monkey) and wipe cache, data, etc. Right now, I'm trying to flash CWM using odin, but it can't recognize my device. I've already trying unnistalling/reinstalling KIES and Samsung drivers, but it always shows that error code: 10 (even in another computer).
So... anyone have any ideas? I think I should try to make odin recognize my device, but I don't know what to do anymore...
delete kies from system and try to connect device in Download mode wait for Odin to install drivers and recognized by it or try different port or cable

Thanks for your attention. I did it all again, but I think the problem was that I was using the recovery to enter in download mode. When I tried to enter without it I managed to get out of recovery, but now I can't make KIES recognize my device to get back to stock and the Bionic Monkey rom is bugged ("Android.process.acore has stopped" every 3 seconds). I saw the topic with some stocks, but I can't find one for my country (Brazil) and IDK if I can just flash any rom... I'm going to try the TransK rom, I wanted to test it anyway.
Thanks again ^^
Hey guys,
I was trying to install Resurrection Remix (coming from NeatROm). Originally had TWRP recovery, but NeatROM left me with PHILZ recovery. I then installed CWM, and after some googling, found that TWRP is recommended over CWM. So I flashed TWRP recovery, and now my phone won't boot (stuck on boot logo), and I can't access recovery mode, only download mode. Drats!!!
If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it!!!!!
Thanks!!

Unfortunately, my PC or ODIN won't recognize my S2 When I plug it in (in Download Mode), it says USB device not recognized. I've tried downloading drivers, different USB cables and different computers. Drats.... Any suggestions?
Ah!! Had to use USB 2.0 !!!! WOOOOOO, all working again!!

1. Put it in Download mode
2. Plug in to your PC
3. Take out the battery (you can put the battery back when odin recognized it)

HI guys,
I have a problem with my I9300. I tried flash new one TWRP over TWRP Flash image. Something goes wrong and now I am not able to flash anything. Odin and Kies cannot see my phone (unspecified device). I am not able to get into recovery. I am able only to get into download mode and odin mode. Can someone help me with it ?
If Odin can not see the phone, try different usb cables and ports.
I tried a lot of cables (Samsung Original), but no one works. PC detect my phone like unspecified device. I also installed all samsung USB drivers. USB connector has been cleaned. Still nothing works :/
IT works I flashed TWRP via ODIN. Thanks a lot.
