Help I think I bricked my dad's phone.

He went to get it replaced and so I set it back to stock, figuring I could easily revert it.

I used the heimdall one click thing after rooting to get a CWM on it that was usable.
After boot though, it constantly resets every single time the media scanner thing at the top starts running. black screen, startup sound, then back to home screen. When I slide the screen to unlock, it does it again.

I cannot get to the screen to check the USB debugging before a reset happens.
Because of this, I cannot attach ODIN to it. It doesn't show up as visible.

How can I get it back to stock?
 
This sounds like a bootloop and a bad flash. Did you do a backup before this? If so revert to CWM and install backup. You should be fine.

If you didn't do a backup the look for a nandroid backup in the forum and copy to.SD card via computer or other device. Then install.

Luckily you haven't FULLY bricked it yet. Keep me updated.
