Bricked Galaxy S2 1777 ATT version. Please help.

Not even sure where to begin. I rooted the phone from stock using the instructions: here I then decided that I didn't like the stock experience and so I installed the following rom found HERE but then I decided that I didn't like apex and wanted to see what stock ICS looked/felt like without other people's add ons. So I dowloaded a rom, flashed it to the sd card, booted clockwork mod and installed the rom from the zip. Apparently something went wrong. Suddenly there was a never ending yellow triangle screen and the only thing I could access was download mode with the cable in or CWM with the cable out. I decided to re-root by putting into download mode and booting up odin, re-rooting with the Zedomax tar file given in the original tutorial. That didn't work, results were the same yellow triangle endless boot screen. I tried that 4 more times just to be sure...same results. Now when I plugin the phone and boot odin on the pc, the 'com' in the yellow box doesn't show, meaning it's not finding my phone via usb cable. It no longer makes the noise in windows 7 when I plug in/unplug the phone (whereas it was before).

-I can still access cwm with the cable unplugged
-I can still access download mode if plugged in.
-Yellow triangle boot screen that is endless
-Windows no longer detects the phone via usb cable. I cannot determine if this is the fault of windows or the phone.

please help. This phone is currently bricked

thanks in advance.
 
i encountered the same problem when i tried to root, then un-root my galaxy s2, i also used zedomax and the only way i got my phone unbricked was to re root using zedomax,heres what i did step by step,
1.download the zedomax tar file and make sure it stays in tar format
2.open odin on your computer
3.put your phone in download mode(odin mode)
4.plug your phone up to your computer(try downloading kies to get the proper driver, or check your devices to see if it shows up at all, mine showed up but it wasnt reconized an a samsung galaxy s2 it just showed up as unknown device)
5.click on pda in odin,select the zedomax tar file,and hit start(unless you see fail let the device do its thing, the first time i tried it took acouple of hours then fail poped up i did the same prosses again and i was back to the rooted version of my phone)

take my advice at your own risk as im still a noob at this kind of stuff but i did just go through the same thing acouple days and just last night figured it out but im not sure if what i did was the right way to do it or if i just got lucky,either way i hope this is helpfull in some way
