Tried to Root - Now my phone stuck on Splash Screen :-(

Tried to install a rooted Kernal using Odin, The first Kernal did not install (froze), so I pulled the battery, and succesfully installed a different one. Now the phone freezes at the Galaxy SII screen with the Yellow Triangle. Tried re-installing several other Kernals, but to no avail.
Was able to boot into CWM 5, clear the phone, and then install Starbright ROM, but phone still freezes at the splashscreen.
I have tried everything I know to do.
Anyone got any recommendations, or am I bricked?

You are no where near bricked. I don't have a link but search the development section for a complete Rom but in .tar format and flash it to your phone via odin. Or find a complete stock Rom in .zip form and flash it via cwm.

Thanks....I tried that method before, and odin kept freezing up when trying map the pit file.
Tried several others also.
I switched to a different windows machine and usb cable and it worked.
Guess Odin is just finicky like that!
Thank you for both of your help.....Tremendously.

dont need a pit file just check the reboot option

Soft Bricked? or Hard Bricked?

I flashed to a rooted stock rom and everything worked fine, although I was getting nothing but force closes. So I decided to flash back to stock non-rooted. Odin got suck during "system" so I unplugged the phone from the pc, closed odin, removed the battery and reinserted it, booted into download mode, and tried to flash again. now, odin just keeps getting stuck no matter what I try to flash it with. I also tried doing the "unbrick phone using international gsm boot image" but it's currently stuck on "getting pit for mapping"..
Note: Before I tried flashing to a rooted stock rom, I was on UCALH9, and the rooted stock rom was a UCALG1, and the non-rooted stock rom was UCALG1... I don't know if that will make a difference or not but I thought i'd just put that up there as a reference maybe
please help
thanks

Latest drivers installed? Also maybe try ODINing to ICS and try it out from there

Is there a jelly bean 4.1.2 stock tar file around that i can flash in odin.. i just tried again 5 time somehting is wrong cant flash any recovery on this phone anymore.. everytime i get that firmwear upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again? thats what it says in the download mode screen.. then it stuck on that screen unless i use odin to flash a new rom.. i have UVLI4 tar file im hoping to get a newer file to flash and just leave it stock cause flashing a recovery is a NO go..

Oh, man! You need to do some more reading. I realized that you're posting in all kinds of threads in multiple forums (fora?) to solve your problem. All the stock tar files are available at sammobile.com. Search for T989 there and you will find the most recent odin-flashable T-Mobile stock rom.

help! bricked my phone i think

I was on the Swampmonster rom but i kept having issues with hands free activation do i decided to unroot and start over.
Here's what i did, i used to flash the back to stock mc2 rom here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
After I flashed this, I flashed the root. zip and then rebooted back to the special recovery and it finished the install. Rebooted but am stuck at the samsung splash screen, I can get into odin and stock recovery. Is there a way to odin back to mc2 stock and get my phone working again? Thanks

Have you tried to flash a custom recovery using Odin for PC? If you can then you should try to install Billards back to stock counter reset mc2 ROM. You may have to reroot and I recommend CF Auto Root. Heres zip file for Odin. A flashable tar file to use in Odin
When running Odin make sure ONLY thing checked is Auto reboot. You are in download mode on phone...(vol down-home-then power..holding all three till it boots into download mode). Make sure com port is lit on Odin.Click on PDA and locate the cwm file and click on it. Should put it into the PDA slot, hit start. If it fails change usb input slots with cable, hit reset and try again. Make sure you have the Billard 412 Rom on external/internal before doing tthis. Once the recovery is flashed try to install the Rom.
Let me know how it goes and by the way is been awhile since Ive seen you from the OG EVO days!

Need some advice please...

I rooted my phone via Kingo and installed TWRP. Everything was fine. Installed various roms (CM 11, Jedi, Slim, Wicked, etc) Anyways I decided I wanted to go back to factory unrooted state. So I had put up a message on the forum asking how. Odin seemed like the popular and easiest way so I download the stock rom and put my phone into download mode. Clicked on PDA and selected the md5 file. Ran Odin and it said it was successful (Said Pass when done). Anyways my phone rebooted and now it goes through the Samsung logo and into the T Mobile logo where I hear the T-Jingle but it just stays on that screen. I did try and redo Odin and ran into the same results. I can get into Download Mode and Recovery Mode. By the way Recovery is back to the stock version.
Any help would be appreicated.

I figured it out. I went into the stock recovery and wiped everything and then installed the stock rom via zip and it worked fine after that .
