First try to do a factory restore in recovery. If that doesn't make it boot, you need to find a CWM one click and use that to flash.

If you can get into download mode: Power it off completely. Then Power On + Volume Down, then Volume Up to 'confirm'
You can then try a PC Odin One-click Full Reset. Maybe start with this one to make sure all works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 Then hit up Rwilco12s repository [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252]and check out the others.
The directions for these are dead simple and very explicit. Take the time to read through them.
Make sure your phone is at least 60% charged before you start! You might want to power it off and plug it into the charger for a couple hours.
While it's charging download the one-click and launch it 'as adminstrator' and have it open waiting.
Then, if/after charging get it into download mode.
Also make sure you are in download mode before you plug in your phone to the computer.
If it shows up on any COM port your good to go. Start it and way till its done.
Good luck
Ok. I'll read through those links, but I cannot get into download mode.

I was using pacman Rom
I dont remember which rom I was wanting to flash. I flashed a kernal from recovery I believe CWM and this is what happened. I dont know if I was supposed to flash the rom at the same time. I thought I could flash the kernel then reboot and then boot back to recovery to flash the rom.

This computer is my spare. My main computer is an imac running just linux mint on it and I have another computer that has just ubuntu on it, so this is the only windows machine I have.
I restarted one more time and this time it recognized it! My phone is alive again. Thanks!
I was using agat recovery on the rom I had been using for about 2 months, I got a wild hair and decided to try another rom, that one replace my recovery with CWM and then when I tried to restore it didnt recognize my backup.

Looks like he flashed a kernel and no rom and probably flashed an aosp kernel on a tw rom which wont boot, or vice versa. Or he flashed a kernel and then wiped the system which deletes the rom
I like to break stuff!
He likes to break stuff too, got to read op and double check before you flash. Speaking of flashing (not trying to hyjack thread) I need a safe recovery, on Garwyyn's stock rooted FK23 no recovery. Some what confused about what' s safe to use?
Any advise will be appreciated. :beer:

Why don't you just try to s-off?
So two days ago I rooted + installed cm10, I was having some issues so I did a dark side wipe and re-installed cm10 after that I didn't not think I had wiped my phone properly so I went back and did the factory rest wipe... Well oops... Now my phone won't do a darkside wipe or install cm10. It just sits on the installing text. I was able to use my back up which also seems very bugged, when I try to restart it just sits on the goodbye screen (just one of the big things I've noticed). What do I need to do to fix this, please explain in laymen terms so I can fix this, thank you and sorry for my ignorance....

TWRP odin flash file- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30694404
I was running cyanogenmod 9 on my phone when I looked into rom manager, I realized that there was a new version available (6.0.2.7) so I installed it via rom manager. A few days later i found that a stable version of cyanogenmod 10 was available so i put the zip file on my phone and followed the instructions to flash it. I did a darkside superwipe and everything. Then i went to boot my phone and it was stuck on the boot animation for 30 minutes, i scrolled down the page to find a comment from a person having the same issue, he said that to fix it he just pulled the battery out of his phone, put it back in and booted into recovery, did a factory reset, cache wipe and fixed permissions, then booted and it worked. I decided to try, so I booted recovery and tried to do a factory reset, clockworkmod froze. I tried it again, and it froze again. I then tried to clear the cache, clockworkmod froze. I tried to do a darkside superwipe, clockworkmod froze. No matter what I try to install clockworkmod will freeze. Has anybody on here had this problem, or know how to fix it? Or maybe know how to downgrade clockworkmod without being able to actually use the phone?
First off, don't use the Superwipe script on anything other than CWM 5.0.X. It'll cause a boot loop and ruin your recovery. I think your best bet is to boot into download mode and flash a recovery using Odin.

Have you ever tried to reset your phone through kies? If not give it a try. Open kies on your computer then go to tools and click on upgrade and initialize. It will ask you to enter your device model, then the s/n number and just follow the instructions from kies. Let me know if that works for you

If you can still get back to CWM recovery mode, you can use adb from a PC to reboot it into download by
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot download
After that you should be able to use Odin to push anything you need to (or Kies *should* work when it's in download mode, it's been a while since I've used it for anything)

Yes just figured out to get my phone in download you have to just hold the down volume button, then put in the usb cable. Rather then holding both up and down.

If you can get to download, you can try Odin to push a new recovery image. If you get CWM back up and running, you can use various adb spells and have a pretty good chance to get your phone back into working condition.
Let us know how things going. We will try to get your phone back to working condition.

alright so, heres where I am: the whole kies thing didn't work, so I tried to flash a new recovery through odin, it failed and now my phone is on a message that looks like the download screen, but instead of "downloading" it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
May be try kies again. I also post a web site to check I used it the last time my phone bricked. If you didn't see it here it is galaxys2root.com and look for how to unbrick. It worked for me.

Figured out that the screen I was seeing is still download mode, and odin still recognizes my phone. Found on the website that if I try to flash the stock firmware via odin, it should unbrick/ unroot the phone. When I tried to flash through odin it got stuck on the boot.img process and wont load any further. I tried kies again and still had the same problem.
Sorry to here that. In the meanwhile, I will do some research, will let you know.
