Where did you get the file from? What tutorial did you use?

After you installed the drivers, and plugged the phone in to the computer, did your computer recognize the phone?

Also, I found this: [GUIDE] Soft Bricked?? I'll show you how to UnBrick it!!!

I know you tried to get it in to download mode, but the key step is to take the battery out first. This removes ALL power from the device.

Give it a shot and see if that helps.
