[Q] "Weird brick" ?!

Hello...
I have a problem with my SGS. I was on Darky 9.5, and decided to upgrade to JVB. I had CWM & working recovery on Darky 9.5, I disabled lagfix, and I downloaded deodexed JVB rom - in a zip file. I flashed it trough cwm, and it worked. With some issues. The rom (JVB) worked fine, but dialer app force closed a lot, and it was slow, gps badly working etc... I rooted trough odin with chainfires kernel 3.1 and then flashed a small zip file that enabled overscroll glow effect. And all of those things worked. I tried to flash to stock rom using odin and download mode but when I connect my sgs, my pc cannot recognize it. It says "USB device not recognised". So I cannot use ODIN, and also all of a sudden, i cannot enter cwm, even with 3 button combo. I tried this on 3 computers, and I have a second SGS which works fine, including download mode & odin DOES recognise it. So drivers should be fine. Anyone have a solution to this problem? I CAN start DOWNLOAD mode but 3 PC's don't recognize it. And my other SGS works on ALL 3 PC's.
Oh, I fogote to write. I directly flashed 2.3 JVB cwm zip (deodex. file) from cwm (darky 9.5) and that didnt't update bootloaders. The JVB rom booted and worked fine, but after powering on sgs displayed a weird looking boot screen, but the rom booted successfully anyway.
I would really appriciate your help.
Thanks.

Ok, and I already did the same
I tried all of those things, and it didnt work, it won't recognize sgs when in download mode. Only thing I didn't try is using nexus s drivers... I will try that.
Is there a term "usb bricked?!?"

Have you tried to turn on usb debugging in applications-development?

Try reflashing back to ICS, then try the Jig. That's what I had to do.

If you can get into recovery try flashing MyICS beta 1.12.11. On this rom my PC recognized my phone easily. It's a great rom but if you don't like it at least you should be able to use Odin.

is that only by extracting . and then clicking pda in odin and click the file ?? would i need a kernel "?? also cause im getting a nz 1 will it be unlocked ??

Yes thats all.. the rom will include the kernel as well. Not sure if it will be unlocked or not. Only after flashing the ROM you will be able to know,. But even if it gets locked, there are lots of apps in the market that can unlock it.

load the ROM(tar.md5) file in PDA, and connect the phone to PC thats all. Donot chnage any other setting. And flash. The phone will autoboot after the flash.

hiiya well still no luck when in odin it loads till about till the end and it freezes any ideas ? factoryfs

If it gets stuck at factoryfs repeatedly, and if you had wiped in ics stock kernel then it is a case of emmc brick. The guide in my signature should help.

before repartition using custom pit, try with the standard Once.. most of all, how did you get in the Original situation ?

Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig

Galaxy S dead after kernel update failed in cwm Recovery

Hey Guys, i tried to update the kernel after Updating Cynogen mod by Ivendor on my Galaxy S Plus, but something went wrong the recovery crashed duo updating , after i switched the phone off nothing happens anymore the phone doesn't switch on if i push the power button , any idee to get it back to life ?

Tried getting it in Download mode (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Download_Mode) and flash a fresh ROM using Odin from there? EDIT: might try flashing a kernel first of course, and see if it can be rescued.
