Ok. As a note of advice for the future, don't just install ROMs one on top of the other. Do it clean, always, to avoid such problems.
For all ROM installations, please, follow the steps below:
First, make sure you got the ROM and the correct Gapps on your External SD Card.
After that, enter CWM and:
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!
under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1, or /external_sd for older CWM versions, by mistake)
install the ROM (from the external sd)
install Gapps (from the external sd)
reboot your phone
Please, note that every step of this tutorial is mandatory!
Note: if you've got pictures/videos/documents, but NO application data (such as specific app files/settings), that you want to save, move them to a location on your External SD Card or a computer, because you're about to format the internal memory. If you want to move them back, you can do it after flashing the ROM.
Hope it helps.

Is the new battery an original battery? And also, did you try to connect your phone to charger and enter CWM like this? Also, which CWM version did you install and where did you get it from (link to the thread maybe)?

Ok, please, try replacing your CWM recovery with this one here.
You can either use the tar.md5 file and flash it via ODIN (using a Windows PC) or, if you would have a working ROM, download the zip file, extract the recovery.img from it and flash it via Flashify (downloadable app from Google Play Store). Tell me if it makes any difference. The new CWM version should be 6.0.4.5.

I tried to mark and unmark "auto reboot"
Flash process only succeeds if it autoreboots.
AND have you uninstalled samsung kies? You can manually close all kies instances and processes via task manager, but its more safe to uninstall it and only install samsung USB drivers.
This is how you did?

How to Unbrick Samsung Galaxy Gio
If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing anything wrong. Here's how you unbrick it; worked for me
==Method 1:==
Prepare ODIN with the firmware you want to flash (in my case was Gingerbread 2.3.4) and get it ready to go.
-
Remove battery, wait for a bit. Insert battery again.
-
Flash a recovery with your specific filesystem (EXT4 or RFS)-(If you have EXT4, download ext4 only, don't get ext4+rfs)
-
Enter recovery & Wipe | Format:
System
Data
Cache
Dalvik Cache
Have ODIN ready. Connect phone to PC.
-
Reboot to Download Mode
Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time.
-
At this point Odin should have detected your Galaxy Gio (Yellow rectangle should appear).
-
Insert the Stock Rom or Custom Rom.
-
Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
-
Reboot and wait
If all goes well it should come back to life.
If not, repeat the steps above ^ (Atleast 2x)
Download ODIN 4.42
Download OPS Only
Download DRIVER Only

It was hard to understand but did you mean: "Recovery mode and download mode does not work on my phone. It's not charging in this case. Does this process unbrick the phone with kies?"
Still hard to understand what you mean, did you brick your phone when trying to install clockworkmod?

I have stock now on it, but I haven't wiped Data and Cache with the stock recovery, because I use CWM. This afternoon I will try to do it with the stock recovery.
Now I have wiped everything with the stock recovery, and then I tried to install the stock rom. I still have the bootloop. I really don't understand it. It has to work...
//When I click on "test redbend fota[FS]" in the stock recovery I get this error:

Hey, i am kinda new to android. I first had a Samsung galaxy s, and there i had no problems flashing roms. Then i would try the Omega rom on my Note 2, and started following the instructions. I flashed the rom, but nothing happened, i was still on android 4.1.1, and it was still stock samsung rom. But then my phone started acting weird, and it became very slow, and when i put it in sleep i couldt wake it up again. Then i thought i just could flash the stock samsung rom, and it would be normal again. So i flashed the 4.1.2 from France, but i still had the same problems. So now i tried the 4.1.1 Germany, but now im just stuck at the samsung logo. I can still get it in recovery and download mode. Please help me :crying:
And sorry for my english, i know it isn't the best

Read and follow each instruction to the word and everything will be alright.
1.Download a ROM. I suggest Omega . Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915036
2. Take out ext sd card from phone and connect to pc via card reader and transfer the downloaded rom .zip file to the card .
3.Put the card in the phone.
4.Assuming the phone is switched off, press down volume + home button+ power button(in the same order) . Keep holding it till you get Samsung logo and get into recovery mode(I hope you have clockwork mod recovery)
5.choose install zip from sdcard> choose zip from external sdcard and then select the ROM .zip file and flash it.
6.The rest should be self explanatory. Do backup your efs when the installer asks to do so. When the rom is installed , reboot and then wait. The first boot takes time. At the most 15 minutes or so.
7. Enjoy
Good luck friend.

P.S. Do hit the thanx button if you find my post helpful
Before starting to install
Clear in the order-
Data
Cache
Dalvik cache
Factory reset
System
Sdcard.
This will delete the minuteset piece of rom and data from your device.

Hi, I had a similar problem a day ago, I corupted CWM and couldn't boot into android, When i started my phone a samsung logo appeared and then black screen, I could access download mode ( Power button, Volume - and home button ) So all you do after you enter download mode is download Odin multi downloader, and a flashable ClockworkMOD recovery, ( PM me if you want links ) and flash it into the phone, after that just reboot the phone and you will be just fine.

Hey,
First put your phone into download mode and plug it in to your PC and make sure Odin recognizes it, then add Ancora.ops in the OPS window and the recovery.tar.md5 in the One package window. Also make sure that One package , Auto reboot and Protect OPS are checked, you should uncheck reset time because i've hear that it is causing some problems. Then just click the " Start " button and sit back, you phone will be back on in few minutes.
Just a question : Did you have any android installed when you corrupted the recovery? If yes, after you flashed the recovery the phone will reboot and will boot into android, if not then just flash the rom file if you already have one in your sdcard/internal storage.
Your phone is soft-bricked, don't worry, it will be back and running again :laugh:
I just corrupted my recovery on my phone on purpose to try if the cwm recovery works. And yes, it worked, so it should work on your phone too.
Good luck flashing your recovery, Please answer back because I want to know if this method worked.
Here are the files, just extract the rar file
Finally i have KitKat!!
Finally Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After long days and hundred tries, it works finally. The story is as below:
1- I failed to download the CWM 6.0.4.5 directly in this state using ODIN,
2- I downloaded the stock (Yes old 2.3.6 ginger bread ROM) using ODIN. However this version keep rebooting and never completed the start up.
3- With ROM installed now (even it's not booting), i tried to download older version of CWM using ODIN (CWM 5.0.4). It was successful!!
4- I tried to do the restore for my old system, but it failed as i did backup with newer version.
5- I flashed Monster ROM (4.2.2), it works wonderful.
6- I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.5 finally using ODIN.
7- Now i'm using 4.4.2 on my mobile finally.
Advice: Never do a flashing to your mobile when you are not fully concentrating what you are doing. Also, make sure to download the right tool and ROM for your device.
Thank you for everyone who tried to help me.

It still doesn't boot It's just stuck on the Samsung text glowing and it resets again.
Go to recovery and wipe data, factory reset and see if it works...

OK, actually this time it did work. I don't know how it didn't work the other times I would do it but I really want to thank you for your help
No problem, You're welcome
Hi good people! thanks in advance, I had a problem for about a month now where my phone (Note2) used to take about 15 min to boot, after trying many solutions, I read somewhere to delete ODEX files and after trying that in many ways I went to system/apps and deleted ODEX files there with Root Explorer which turned out to be a biiig mistake, it just stucks at the Samsung Logo for a few seconds before it starts again (only the logo, the phone doesn't reboot) and it stays like that forever. I'm in hell right now, I have some files I don't want to lose so I was afraid of factory reseting but after I was told that it won't delete them, I did but that didn't solve anything, I can't access download mode, I can access recovery mode however (not custom) I tried flashing a custom ROM but I just get "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" please help ! I'll be really thankful ! thank you !
EDIT: I hope this helps someone else, after trying everything, what eventually worked for me was the USB Jig, I was able to enter download mode and install a new ROM from there. good luck!

If you know your rom load, flash it back on to your device without any wiping. It should load the needed files back on your system. Though any system mods will be lost.
The other option is to go into aroma from your custom recovery and grab your needed files over to your extsd card

Thanks for the reply, the problem is that I don't have a custom recovery and when I try to flash a new ROM it tells me "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" ...
Well the only option is download mode and try loading the same factory rom you have on your device. Or a newer version, if available. Some different regions have updates.
Can't use stock recovery to flash a custom rom.
You have access to a USB jig? What happens when you try to enter download mode?

thank you, sorry I'm replying late I just saw your reply. no I don't have access to it unfortunately, and when I try to enter download mode the phone just boots normally to the Samsung logo (where I get the usual problem)
thank you !
Remove the battery for a few seconds, replace the battery and quickly hold down the home and volume down button.

I don't think I can get one atm I'm far away.
any help guys ?? please! I've looked everywhere still can't find a solution
Without being able to enter download mode means you can't flash a stock rom via Odin. Maybe order a jig from eBay or try yo make your own. Either way, a jig us a good tool to have when flashing Samsung phones.

Is there any other way to fix this problem without a USB jig. ADB or something
Not sure that adb will allow you to side load a rom.

oh okay, Is installing a new ROM the only solution there is ? if it is, is the USB jig the only way to flash it? thank you !
Installation of a custom ROM but that requires a custom recovery. The easiest method would be to flash TWRP with Odin or possibly TWRP via flashify. Problem is that the phone can't enter download mode or boot the ROM.
I recommend buying or making a USB jig. If you don't want to wait, you could take the phone to a repair shop and have it flashed via jtag.

Thank you so much
Only custom can be installed via twrp.
