I think first we need to determine exactly what you did. Could you point to the instructions you used to flash this device? And, where did you get the firmware? This phone is almost 7 years old, so you might not have to many options past gingerbread, which was the last official firmware for this device.
 
Not knowing where you obtained the ROM you're using I'm going to suggest you just re-download from here:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=GT-S5360&exact=1
Pick the ROM that matches your locale and your carrier. Updato has a good reliability status for valid stock Samsung ROMs so it should be safe to use. It would have been more helpful if the screen capture of that Odin report was instead the the actual text result so whether or not the ROM even had anything to do with the problem, maybe just download from the source above.
Also, not knowing which version of Odin you're using (the ver. 3 in the screen cap wasn't very revealing), I also suggest downloading ver. 3_1.85, available here:
http://www.droidviews.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung-galaxy-devices-all-versions/
The Odin utility is not very backwards compatible so newer versions may work out as well as just using an older version more appropriate for Gingerbread.
 
That's what I was thinking. In any case if a flash goes bad, it's always best to take it back to stock before trying again. :)

I tryed putting jelly blast on it didn't work just kept failing so I tryed to recover but trying to put it back to original 2 from dorks files on another forum. But now it's just booting over and over again and can't get to recovery now so......lol I've messed up big time ain't I?
 
Yea I can get into download mode....any chance someone can talk me through the whole process of sorting it out please also the right files as I been around the net past 4days and none of wht I'm doing seems to work
 
Without paying you are on a metered connection and it will take several hours to download. You probably should verify the file's md5 checksum to make sure it was corrupted during the download process before you flash.
 
Sorry being a bit thick here I'm ok up til having to flash and rom stuff ie fixing screens etc....but I have no clue on this lol new to it what do u mean when u say check and very file m5
 
The md5 checksum is just a string of characters that is generated when the file is created. When you download the file, you use a utility like WinMD5 to generate a string of characters from the file you downloaded. If the strings math then the files are identical and you know it hasn't been corrupted.

As far as paying, Sammobile let's you pay for faster connections but it's a subscription model meaning you'll get charged monthly. You'll most likely only ever use the site once or twice so it's better just to use the free slower connection and wait for the download to complete.

Paying for what and how much?

This why I didn't refer to sammobile in this instance as the ROMs for your model are archived on their site so they are pay-to-join for the download, and provided a link to updato. If there are skeptics questioning the validity of updato's stock Samsung ROMs, please provide some sources on this.
 
Not doubting it. There are other sites for Samsung firmware as well, I've just always used Sammobile the few times I needed it. I'm not really a Samsung fan. I've only ever owned two.
