I was running phone-bricker 2.7 and wanted to change roms to galaxynexus to try it out. Galaxynexus failed 3 or 4 times to install so I decided to start fresh and revert back to stock and reroot(I think I had a bad downloaded copy). I used odin 1.82(which I used to root initially) and SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3. I put .tar file in the pda slot and only checked auto reboot. When I started odin it stopped part way into it(pc locked up). I restarted my pc but my galaxy would not go into download mode. I did the vol up and down and connected usb and even used the jig that I have. The jig worked before cuz I used it to get into download mode in the first place.
The battery is charged(used a battery charger) but the screen stays black and the phone gets warm but nothing happens, no battery icon, no download screen, and no CWM. My wall charger doesn't recognize it and neither does my pc.
I'm out of ideas.

If you can't get into download mode with a jig, your device is most likely bricked. My brother had the same problem, but luckily we were still under our warranty and got it replaced for free at the ATT store by my house.
