Easy fix. Fixed that many times.
You need Odin 1.85, zimage.tar, and a good Samsung tether drivers. If the drivers you have don't work, let me know.
Take the battery out of phone. Hold both up and down buttons down. Plug your USB to phone and PC. Then put in battery. Make sure the up and down buttons are hold down the whole time. That should take you to the download screen on your phone. Yellow digging android.
Stay away from Rom Manager. We don't have any custom rom for our phones yet.

Hey,
Try reading my post above, if both of you guys are still having problems, I can help. But you learn much more by discovering it by yourself, like I did last Christmas when my phone was soft bricked.

Good luck.

i had the same problem iit bricked, i even tried odin no dice, and then i went to heimdall, i used the pda option using zimage.tar. nothing worked, i thought my phone was toast.. after two hours of being frusterated and reading these posts (thank you all so much) i did as you said above pulled out the battery held down the up and down volume, plugged the phone into the computer and didnt replace the battery, removed the sd card and the sim card as well. in seconds it flashed the zimage.tar file, it restarted i immediatly put back in the sim and sd and hard reset the phone after reboot. all is well! hope this helps out anyone unable to recover brick after odin.

I found that if you do what baddude8 describes above (but with mine I also removed the SD card #hot# before the battery) then it finally worked, kind of "trial and error" learning here myself... all good now.
