Default Flickering screen while flashing via ODIN

Any help with this? I rooted & installed CWM on my Wildfire with no issues, but it seems like this phone's a tough nut. Can't start it up now, screen keeps flickering if I try to turn it on, don't think it can even boot up.

Your prompt reply is much appreciated!

I mean I've done it before on my Wildfire, but there's a problem with this on the Galaxy Mini. Problem phone in question is the Galaxy Mini now.

Okay so first I downloaded the OPS, Gingerbread firmware and ODIN. Then I installed Kies for drivers, and then I opened ODIN, inserted the OPS and Gingerbread firmware file, started the process.

Somehow when it came to the reboot part, the phone just kept rebooting (screen lights up, turns off, pause, repeats again) and it hasn't worked since.

Then now there's an error with setup connection which presumably has something to do with the drivers, so I reinstalled it but now setup connection keeps occurring...

Okay, now, I tried doing the whole process again... I'm stuck at 'Close serial port and wait until rebooting' as the phone constantly flickers on and off repeatedly with no sign of anything going on.

Somebody please help :/

Yup, 4.31, TASS v1.0 as OPS. S5570DXKPD_S5570OLBKPD for the firmware.

Problem now is I think the flashing works.. but somehow, the phone is somehow corrupt in a way that boot is not possible - nothing's possible except download mode.

I haven't played around with Samsungs, mostly HTCs so this is uncharted territory for me.

Yup, firmware from Sammobile.com. Problem is while installing GB. Will trying to install CWM first at least alleviate some of the problem?

In fact... I can't even boot into the original recovery. All that happens is the phone boots... and goes into an insane loop. Can't do anything else other than that.

Thanks guys..
