Help Help! Not sure if I can salvage my bricked phone :(

hi everyone -

i have screwed up royally. after reading and reading and searching and searching (all day - my eyes are bleeding at this point)...i have decided to take a shot and post and see if there is a solution out there.

please accept my apologies ahead of time if this has been covered somewhere else, but i am at a complete loss and really need some guidance.

my phone is bricked but i have not found an exact scenario to mine.

on boot, my phone displays the same as the attached.

i can access the download menu (cannot access restore menu) BUT my device is not recognized by any machine or by odin, so i am unable to flash anything on it and i have a steady blue LED light.

is there a work around to this? is there anything i can do to get odin/my pc to recognize my device? if i can't fix it myself i plan to send it to mobiletechvideos before i completely give up and bury my beautiful brick.

i have rooted my devices before and have never bricked a phone. i'm pretty sure i just used the incorrect rom which is a horrible terrible rookie mistake...one which i am terribly embarrassed about.

i will never make this mistake again! ever ever ever. i am looking at my beautiful phone just sitting there looking at me with accusing & accurate eyes. sighs.

if posting this here is not kosher, please let me know, but i figured since this thread is the only one i have found with a situation resembling mine, it would be a good place to start.

thanks in advance for any help offered.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S II
Carrier: Virgin Mobile
Model: SPH-D710
PC running Windows 8
