I was flashing back to stock when something apparently went wrong, now I cant get anything to work for me. I have tried flashing files through Odin and it gets almost to the end and then fails. Need some help

If nothing anyone says works contact Samsung support and make up some lie and make it vague like "something happened." Most likely they will send you to Best Buy and I remember them saying that certain button combinations may even get out of brick. What screen does it take you to?

go to sams mobile and download latest firmware for your phone and load it to your phone with odin
Does it say to do something with kies? It probably won't work but still try it. Also, remember if there methods don't work take it to BB.

OK, KangaKat is a GE ROM, which means you didn't update past MDB or MDL
Get MDB from here:

Use ODIN to flash it, have the Samsung USB Drivers installed, and Kies uninstalled
Use a USB port on the back of the computer if it's a desktop, use an OEM cord, or one that you know works.

I have tried that, the first time I flashed back to stock it worked fine until I installed the AT&T firmware update. It was running slow after the install so I rebooted it and then thats when something went wonky. I can get it to the at&t logo and the it never wants to leave.

What firmware update did you install? Can you boot into recovery and do a factory reset

I can get into recovery but it fails to do a factory reset or anything else, its like the file system are not on the phone. It fails to read or write anything through recovery.
If you did a firmware update you may no longer be on mdb or mdl and those tar files will no longer work in Odin. So it's important to know what you meant by a firmware update.
