I tried to do a cyanogenmod update, but something went wrong and now I can't boot into android. I've tried going back into the recovery mode to reflash the rom, but it freezes there. I've also tried flashing clockworkmod recovery through ODIN and download mode, but the download back never moves at all, so I'm not sure if I can't use download mode or if it's just that ODIN isn't doing anything. I'm not sure what to do anymore, does anyone have any idea how to get me out of this?

you could try heimdall.
it seems like you got a corrupted download or the boot.img is jacked up.
it wont help to flash the same rom.
grab stock files (need pit file) and flash with heimdall or odin.(preferably not using windows 8/8.1)
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2363213 does this link help?
should just be a part of the odin packages they provide.
dont worry about it.
just follow the instructions.
I tried it, and the phone is stuck in download mode with the progress bar never moving past a little dot. Is it hopeless?
screenshot odin,
try different usb port, and different cable, and use the latest odin for sure, use kies to install drivers and different pc
Wow, thanks! I got it to work. I don't think I can boot into android but I can definitely boot into recovery. But it's just the standard recovery, I'm not sure if I can flash a rom through it. Where do I go from here?
what happened in odin? I can't really tell if something happened when it flashed system.img

No, the only thing I checked was "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". Should I do it one more time or should I find a way to flash cyanogenmod again?
Yeah, it still won't let me boot. Is there a way I can flash a rom or put in a different recovery mode from here?
yea, just install a different odin recovery img.
you can also take any recovery.img you want and format it as odin file with md5 igning etc
Is there a way I can flash cyanogenmod through ODIN? I'm still lost at this point, sorry...
yes, take a cynagoen mod flashable zip, put it into an ext4 system.img if it isnt already one, then make an odin tar.md5 out of it.(if your already lost then your screwed)
It's not uncommon to need to reboot to recovery to factory reset after flashing the firmware through Odin or Heimdall as many of the packages do not wipe data as they are meant to be update versions.
