Help please, possible brick

I'm hoping that someone here can help me.

At this point I'm not even quite sure where I stand so I will do my best to explain. I ended up at a point where I was forced to use odin to try to restore my phone. I had done this before so i didn't think this was a big deal.

I tried flashing (with odin) the package found here

[HOWTO] [ROOT] [ODIN] No Tripping Flash Counter - Root + [TWRP] - Updated 05.25.2013 - xda-developers

That was going along seemingly fine until it suddenly failed. I don't know if the cable came loose or what... Then I was at a state that told me to use Kies to try to fix the firmware. I found a post, I'm not totally sure where at this point... If it would be helpful I am happy to search and find it again, that said they used the pit file to reformat their phone and then were able to restore it. I downloaded and flashed the pit file found here

xda-developers - View Single Post - 32 Gb PIT file

I was then able to get back into download mode just fine and my computer will recognize it, however, whenever I try to flash a restore package with odin this is all i get:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> aboot.mbn

It will then sit there forever (I think, I have left it for about an hour with no errors or progress)

Does anyone have any ideas?
If any more info would be helpful please just let me know.

Thanks!

I have no idea what state the phone is really in, but you can try using Kies and see what happens. Here's an overview of what to do:
- if you don't already have the Kies software installed on your PC, download it (just search Google) and install it. The first time it runs it'll update itself to the latest version so make sure you run it once before proceeding.
- put your phone in Download mode: with the phone completely off, press and hold the Volume Down and Home and Power buttons simultaneously, and release them all when you see the Samsung splash screen
- connect the phone to your PC with the USB cable that came with the phone
-- if you've never had the phone connected to your Windows-based computer before, you'll see messages about installing drivers, etc - just wait until this is done (may take 5 or 10 minutes) [I don't know what happens if you have a Mac - it probably just works]
- in the Kies software, select the second item in the Tools menu and just follow the prompts to enter the model number (in CAPS) and IMEI/Serial Number (both found under the battery - it's ok to remove the battery at this point)
- the Kies software should start downloading the correct firmware for your phone from the Internet; once that's done (depending on your Internet connection speed) it'll begin downloading that to the phone (this probably takes 10 minutes or so)

I have downloaded and installed Kies. It downloads the emergency recovery firmware and then attempts to install it, however I keep getting "PC failed to recognize the mobile phone. Please follow the guide shown below and try again.
1. Disconnect the mobile phone from the cable, remove the battery, and reattach the battery.
2. Press the Power button
3. Make sure that the mobile phone has been turned on completely.
4. Reconnect the mobile phone to the cable and start the upgrade."

Any suggestions?

You are choosing the 2nd item in the Tools menu, right?
And it's prompting you for the model number and IMEI?
And the phone is in Download mode when you connect it?

If all of that is true then I don't know what's happening. Sorry.
