Okay so I had a problem with my S2 earlier today, I wasn't able to install anything through the root and the recovery mode was showing an error the the middle of the screen saying ''error'' so I wasn't able to hard reset it at all. I had installed Odin3, added a file that I downloaded from a tutorial video to the PIT named as ''omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit''. Afterward my phone went off (it was on downloading mode, or whatever it's called) then I wasn't able to turn my phone on again, black screen all time, even tried to charge it but that isn't the problem, the problem is that it seems like I removed everything on the phone and I couldn't open the boot to install a new CM or anything, is there a solution for that?

You could try a USB jig to force download mode. A pit file in general is used with firmware for your device if need be.. In most cases a pit file isn't used. I can only think of a few devices that have a need for a pit file to be used. For example a Note 2 that was rooted using Casual tool.
You are correct as far as the phone being wiped as this is what the pit file does. Try pulling the battery for a few minutes then hold volume down, home and power, if you can get to download mode then reflash firmware for your device.

@James L It's hard-bricked so I couldn't open the download mode else I could've downloaded another CM. The main problem was with the boot it self, I wasn't able to reset it through the settings factory reset option because it sends me to the recovery mode and then shows an error. I don't think a jig is available in my country, but however I saw some tutorials that can manage to restore it with connecting it to the PC and setting some drivers to make it work, does it really work? I need to make sure before I bother wasting time on a not-working-solution.
