Bricked Ace 2 - Can access Odin but not Recovery - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I have some old samsung ace 2 that I was experimenting around with, wanted to try and get some 5.1.1 ROM on it. But first I figured I needed to get some kernel on it, though I did something which now means that during bootup it is stuck on the samsung galaxy ace 2 logo. I can access ODIN mode, though cant access recovery mode. The battery mode also seems to be broke too as it just displays a loading symbol. So far I have flashed the EK kernel on it with what seems to be a success according to ODIN mode. Also note that Samsung KIES tries to connect to my device in ODIN mode but it never connects and troubleshooting doesnt do anything.
I tried to flash stock firmware to it through the odin software whilst my phone was in odin mode, though it displays a bunch of stuff in the odin pc software then attempts to reboot my phone though it just gets stuck on the boot logo again without odin really doing much here are the logs:

[Q] I can't tell if it's a soft brick or hard brick but..

I flashed to Stock with ODIN and it went successful then I downloaded the updated firmware version to flash through ODIN because it wouldn't update through KIES or from itself and half way through, it failed and now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
It doesn't work through Kies, it just keeps trying to connect but no connection so I tried to flashing back to the old firmware through ODIN again and everything works successful until this part

I've tried everything but switch to a different computer to try it on, what do you guys think I should do?
How interesting, after hours and hours of stress, all I did was flash stock recovery through ODIN and now it rebooted fine

Your not the only one who had this problem... I which the mod would shut down the thread pushing rooting via flashing.
Too many newbies are having issues flashing.
I recommend saveroot.zip. It leaves your device's counter untouched. Also it is 100% safe.
Now what to do with your device since it is stuck at the Samsung logo.
You can do what I do for stuck screens. Power on, and hold only the up volume key. Keep it held until boot screen is finished.
If that does not work, go into recovery and clear cache and reboot.
If none of the options work, you may have flashed with an incompatible file, there are three versions and only one is specific to your device. you can try re-flashing with a good file.

[Q] NOTE2 3 uk Soft Brick

Ive managed to brick my note2 n7100 softly, i can get it into 0din mode and i can manage to get the phone to my boot screen, how ever i cannot enter recovery mode
Ive flashed with stock roms from sammobiles, after this i can still get to 0din mode and it still boots to the logo then hangs up and just pauses there.
N7100XXUEML2_N7100H3GEML1_H3G Is the what ive used to flash with i also used a PIT file along with it.
I was originally trying to install philz recovery so i could install older firmwares to network unlock my phone, and now my baby wont turn on.
Im not very tech savy..
I would love some advice on how i can rescue my phone.:good:

0din gets to the remove and reset stage , then proceeds to my 3 logo boot screen then freezes still.
I can flash N7100XXUEML2_N7100H3GEML1_H3G untill my hearts content, but it still does not give me a recovery mode [vol up+home+power] but i can still access 0din download mode, and the phone still hangs on boot at the 3 logo
Not a clue how ive managed it, but ive got my phone back booted up now.. Now time to figure how to network unlock it!

[Fixed] ODIN is failing on the the NAND Write step

I was running Cyanogen Mod on my phone, but my camera was acting odd, so I decide to flash back to stock to see if this would fix the issue.
I downloaded a stock firmware, and went through the steps to flash my phone. It seemed to work, but after completion, my went into a reboot loop.
When I try to flash again, i get the following output from odin

My Download mode screen reads the following:
ODIN MOde
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I605
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
RP SWREV: A3
I tried this with a few firmwares, and a few versions of ODIN. I can get into download mode, but holding power, menu and volume up won't get me into recovery mode.
Did I just kill my phone?
I wanted to add a small tidbit. Could a reboot loop, and the error in ODIN be caused by a low battery?
I managed to make progress, but I am not quite there yet.
I flashed the PIT file from here downloadandroidrom [dot] com/file/GalaxyNote2/rooting/GalaxyNote2UnlockVerizon.zip (sorry, can't post a real link yet)
And after that, I was able to get past the failed step, and ODIN actually completed. However, right now, when I try to turn on my phone, nothing happens. When it's plugged in, it's just showing the battery icon, and the charging light is not on.
I ordered an external battery charger from eBay, to make sure that I have a full battery, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?
EDIT:
I managed to fix it. Flashing the PIT file, and then flashing an official firmware did the trick. I think the first ROM that I tried was the problem.

Need help recovering SM-T310 8", stuck at boot screen, Odin won't load TWRP onto it

Need help recovering SM-T310 8", stuck at boot screen, Odin won't load TWRP onto it
I've been trying to get this tab back in working order for several hours now - When I first started working on it, all it showed was the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 3" screen, going right back to that when I turn it off (not even staying off.) I tried putting it in download mode (Power+Down+Home, it does work) and loading TWRP 3.1.1 with Odin (tried both 3.07 and 3.12.3) and it fails almost immediately after hitting Start, Kies won't recognize it over USB, and when I put in the model and S/N it says it's "not eligible".
Also, I've tried using the stock recovery mode, but the factory reset doesn't help, and it doesn't recognize the format of the only rom I could find for it (that doesn't require a premium membership.) It's a .tar.md5, TWRP is supposed to be able to handle it, but the system recovery doesn't see it at all.

Help, please? I've gone through multiple past threads here and on other sites I found on Google to get this far, but I've been unable to make any appreciable progress.
