Droid, i appreciate your help. I am on my way to work right now. I will use the comp there and post back up. Is there any way my port on my phone is bad. I really don't think it is, but could it be damaged.
The voice you heard was the voodoo lady. It usually says something to the effect of "converting blah partition. x minutes remaining" and can take a while before the phone boots up. I'm a bit confused as to what you downloaded though. Where did you get the kernel from? Which version of Froyo are you on DL30 or EB01? If it's EB01, you can try jt's kernel at the link below. iirc it's ok to flash voodoo over voodoo but nonvoodoo over voodoo without first disabling is no bueno so you should be ok.
[KERNEL] EB01 Voodoo - xda-developers
And is anyone else getting 504 gateway time out errors out the wazzooo lately?
Yes, I'm getting those 504 errors all the time
i tried using another computer and the usb port is still not being recogzized by the phone. I cant do anything if i cant get the phone to recognize odin. I am in download mode and i can get into cwm red or green. I have installed the correct samsung usb drivers and i have tried flashing a superclean DL30 and EB01 rom. i believe i have tried everything except the lord's prayer. Can i come to the conclusion that my usb on my phone is screwed up. If that is the case, i just don't see how.
No. Now it is just frozen at the samsung logo screen.
