--Backstory--
I have the Epic 4G touch, not the Galaxy S2 Int. So I'm on CDMA. Anyways, I was installing the Samsung Official Update since I didn't have a ROM on my phone. -_-

It got stuck at "Modem.bin". It was stating "Please wait 2 minutes" but it was like 10 min later. So Like all the other ROMs, I just pulled the plug and did a battery pull. It gave me the option for Odin again, or the recovery mode. I had to flash Clockwork using Odin since I always end up having the Stock Recovery.



--The problem...--
Now... I have the stock recovery. The only buttons that work is Vol up and Vol Down, and the search capacitive just makes the screen blank. My home, menu, and back buttons don't work.

I can go to the Odin mode on my phone, but my phone doesn't connect to a computer. If I plug it while it's off, it'll show the battery symbol then go to stock recovery.

While in Odin, it's just that basic screen that you see. The one about how many flashes you have and stuff. It's just that Odin doesn't recognize my device. My computer doesn't recognize my device. No computer does, but plugging it in turns it on.

I don't think there's anything else I can do from this point. I'm trying to find a way to get rid of those install numbers. The triangle at start up is gone.

Something tells me I better start saving up.......................:(
 
You should be able to load files from your PC into your phone via the USB cable using the Zedomax method of routing (again). If your phone responds to holding down the "volume down" button and the "power" button at the same time, you will be in great shape. Search xda-developers.com for Zedomax.

Will do that right now. I don't want to have to take my baby to the hospital for a Jtag. *goes to do that*
 
sounds to me like you flashed a gsm rom on a cdma phone.
probably not the best thing to do lol.

I think you are going to have to try and reload the drivers on your pc and get it to recognize your phone. i don't see how you can fix without odin.
