Do you have a backup of your EFS?

Some of the things you're experiencing are indicative of that possibility.

Well thank you everyone for your suggestions. I got it all set now. Apparently Odin just doesn't play well with VMware on mac. I used the same one click file on a pc and it worked first time. I don't own a pc so I borrowed my Fathers laptop. I will be installing Bootcamp so I can actually install windows in case this ever happens again. Hope my frustrations help someone in the future. Again, thanks everyone.

    remove battery from phone..... now with battery removed reinstall battery. boot to recovery by holding volume+ and power button simultaneously.
    if you can access any type of stock recovery do a full wipe from it. not if you cant try rebooting computer . try usb in a different port. sometimes its something so simple. could even be a cord issue. do you have another cord to try? any micro usb will work.

    I do not have any recovery at all. I tried 2 cords, I'll try the reboot of computer now. Does it matter I'm on a Mac using vmware for win 7?

    Are you using the USB 3.0 cord ... That's the only one I use for Odin
