As you are getting Galaxy Gio splash screen, its just a soft brick. Make sure you've installed Samsung Kies and make sure its not running in background (Check the Taskbar systray) while you run Odin. Download the firmware from sammobile.com and install as mentioned in Tutorial (You may find it in the Galaxy Gio section)

Dont use the pit its from later galaxy models
Make sure u flash galaxy gio FW and look for the guides in thr GIO section

Soft bricked Gio
I rooted my gio with the gio rooting package and tried to flash cwm recovery. Unfortunatlely I forgot to reset and uncheck re-partition and now my phone gives me the Phone---!----computer logo when I boot. (soft brick I think) Even though I have kies, it now does not recognise my phone, and nor does odin. In addition, I need the 2.3.6 Gingerbread NZ stock rom from 2degrees, yet I cannot find it on any of the sites I visit. I can get into download mode but not recovery... can anyone help? Any help will be appreciated, if it is possible to fix my phone

My phone is now repaired, considering update.zip for 2.3.5. I will like to know if the recovery mentioned above requires a custom kernel- is it necessary? BTW I am not using Rom manager.

Maybe You Have A Hardware (Antenna) Problem, Not A Software (Baseband) Problem
All Custom ROMs Use EXT4 Filesystem

No... There was no water damage, only 1 drop 2 years ago which the phone survived. It was from knee height. I flashed the S5660KKT3 baseband through Odin. Is it the right one? Also, my phone was broken and I got it repaired. when it came back the signal was 5 bars, when I put my SIM card in, but when I installed maclaw's cm9 it was poor. Reboots seem to fix the problem.

You can only downgrade back to 4.3 instead of 4.1.2 if you've flashed KitKat 4.4.2 via ODIN.
What you mean you've flashed to 4.4.2 official and didn't work? Cannot boot or other problem?

Always freezes and restarts

Of course, next time if have any problem just flash the stock ROM via ODIN. It will solve most problems.

This Rom and pit file is for the GT-N7100 (the GSM version)
This is the link for a full official Rom (4.3) : http://d-h.st/e4N,the zip file have four files:
BL for bootloader
AP for the ROM itself (PDA)
CP that is the modem file
CSC for language
And you going to need the pit file for your device to re-partition, i have it right here if you do not have it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1575322&d=1355893688
Flash these files via odin and be aware that this process will erase every thing stored on your device.
i hope this helps you,have fun ...

the second matter i noticed that when the start up i found the bluetooth icon trying to turn to green like i'm turning the bluetooth on but a few seconds it didn't turn on even i try to turn it ! the bluetooth doesn't work at all !
the third thing when i recieve a call that turn on the proximty sensor automatically if i touch the sensor the screen go black but i lose the control and give me no response at all and i have to remove the battery and turn it on again !

i need help please how i delete things that caused that conflict .. i tried to reflash the stock rom of my note with odin on my lap top but nothig changed and it hanging and the screen freezes with no control at all and that happened when i try to use a custom rom and flash it through the recovery .. please help urgently
sorry for my bad english

Two options I see:
1. Try to restore your device using Kies3
2. Flash newest firmware (get it from sammobile) for your region using PC-Odin.

Putting "need help urgently please :'(" does not help you in any way, in fact it makes it more likely that people will simply ignore the topic. Topic titles need to be descriptive, not generic non-descriptive.
Your problem is that like many newbies you cant be bothered to do research, read and learn before messing around with your device.
You should boot into download mode and flash a stock rom. Preferably a older one that doesn't have knox. Then flash a stock rom(without knox) in recovery mode. All the info you need is here on forum.

i forgot to tell that one of the things changed that my mobile lost the usb support in the normal mode as there is no change when i connect it to my pc except it charges only but it works in the download mode and when i reflash the stock rom v 4.3 the screen freezes after a few seconds of turning it on and i have to remove the battery .. do you think that flashing the 4.4.2 sthock rom will make a change ? as the solution of kies isn't possible due to the lack of usb support !
is there a way to format the sectors that the pation " param " which flashed by the sumsung star dous stock rom is in it and make that conflict to delete that ??

What was your last stock rom on your device before messing up?
I do absolutely not agree with those horror tales about knox, most people don't use and easily get rid of.
Do you remember your last bootloader? MK4 or above? Then don't take any risk by flashing 4.3 firmware and go straight ahead to 4.4.2.
It will be the safest way to get a working device again.

So you can also try the NA1 firmware, but nothing beneath that. NA1 is a knox enabled BL, so whatever you flash successfully will have Knox in it.
DON'T TICK REPARTITION!

OK, I see. Try a wipe from stock recovery, wipe all possible.
Another option: Kies!
I know, you said not recognized but you must get it to work. Uninstall all drivers from PC an re-install drivers until Kies can restore your device.
Very last option: Find a Samsung repair near to you.

As you mentioned you already have been on NA1 firmware and as it seems you have flashed latest 4.4.2 with "a kind of success" I find it hope- and useless to even try this rescue rom. Bootloader is the reason why you can't successfully flash. NO DOWNGRADE POSSIBLE.

Can you illustrate your words ? For kies it's unpossible to connect my mobile to any pc the drivers works perfectly for any similarphone the fault is in my mobile not the driver and for sumsung care it will be high cost as the warranty ended ! And I wipe every thing possible through the stock recovery but noyhing changed !

I am beginning to lose my patience cause you don't follow my advice or even don't consider that I am right.
Look into system on your PC if there is an unknown device.
Whenever hardware is connected to PC Windows starts to search for drivers.
It doesn't matter that other devices are recognized correctly.
Wipe all Samsung drivers and re-install. Even re-install Kies too.
Start Kies and try restoration, maybe it will fail, but try. AND with current drivers you are supposed to fail.
At last: Try to find a friend with knowledge who can help you at your home or his.
