Root Reverb bricked

My phone will not boot at all but can access download mode.
The recovery mode doesn't show up using the button combo Power+VOL up
I have flashed the boot.img the kernal, and recovery all to stock.

My only chance is to try and create a bootable recovery sd card
Or do you have the stock file (.md5 or .tar extension) for the phone?
All feedback will be appreciated
Thanks for reading
 
Did you flash the ICS recovery and stock kernel or the JB stock kernel... Sounds like you have a JB reverb (different screen and requires a JB kernel to work properly) try flashing the MiRaGe CWM or my TWRP and tell me what happens if recovery boots all you need is a jellybean ROM and you're good to go... Hope this helps
 
I don't know, which kernel it was, I found in some thread where another guy had a problem accessing recovery. I have reflashed the CWM multiple times there has not been any change within that. It's still a blank screen when booting up.
 
I tried to install the recovery, same thing happened. Blank screen.
By the way I forgot to mention the "Samsung" logo doesn't show up.
 
Hmm this is odd...

EDIT: does Odin show up on the screen when booting up in Odin mode? If not something may have happened to your screen... When booting see if adb comes up and if it does get droid@screen (pulls the framebuffer which is what is displayed on screen) if its working then it should show android or recovery... If you get android use adb shell to reboot into recovery (its hard to get into recovery with the key combo so you may just not be getting to recovery) try this and hopefully we can get some results
 
ADB doesn't show, I am thinking about giving up. I have reflashed basically everything to stock. Thanks for you help man. But I think it's just dead and unfix-able
 
If you're saying "huh" out of confusion, let me explain.
The phone doesn't show up in ADB.
I basically have reflashed everything to stock, the firmware (I found an md5), the boot.img, the kernel and recovery.
So, i'm just going to basically give up.
There's no fix. :/
