Have you tried getting into recovery via:

1. Power the phone off.
2. Hold down the volume up, volume down, and power buttons.
3. After the Galaxy S 4G logo appears, wait a few seconds longer and you should see the logo get brighter. When that happens, let go of the power button only.
4. Keep holding the volume buttons until recovery appears.

I'm sure you have, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Yea I tried that method already and hasn't helped. I get the same screen using all the other methods mentioned

And for everyone who has had this issue or is facing this issue, the USB Jig Method works I made my own and walla i had the phone working...god i am so relived, thanks everyone for helping me out...usb jig worked like a charm, its god sent.. My phone is now running ICS and no issues,

I had issues getting into download mode using the three button trick when I downgraded from CM7 Back to VB and my download jig put it right into download mode. I did cheat and payed 8 bucks for it. I didn't try to make one, because I knew I would have screwed it all up.

Too late for me, lol

Avast, it was too late for me. I wish I found this when I was trying to do stupid dangerous stuff with my phone (somewhere in 2011). But now I got a refurbished new phone but it's now rooted and has a custom ROM thanks to a guide I saw recently this week.

NOTE TO EVERYONE (that is a noob): Never touch odin unless you know what your doing. It's like playing with fire. I found that out the hard way.

Th3 did you hard brick(black screen of death), or soft brick(stalls at Samsung logo or endless boot looping?

Sadly I knew it was hard bricked, I tried the internet for every method.

Jtag it, there are several vendors that offer Jtag service for about 50 bucks average, and for another 50 some will add the unbrickable mod. That is if you kept the phone.
