SGS2 stuck on boot after attempt to enlarge system partition

Hi guys
I'm stuck on a boot screen and would love some help!

I recently got handed down an old S2 - GT i9100 - things went well for a bit!
* rooted it
* flashed kernel and Clockwork Mod Recovery (used heimdall suite)
* flashed Cyanogen Mod 12.1 (Lollipop)
All worked perfectly. Great!
After a bit I wanted to increase the system partition's size (to accomodate newer G-apps package)
So decided to follow a guide to repartition (and to flash PhilZ Touch 5 recovery at the same time). I did these using Odin. But I think the guide may have been intended for use with a stock rom and recovery phone. So now the phone gets stuck at the boot screen (with yellow triangle). I can access both Download mode and Recovery. I tried using the Advanced options in PhilZ to partition internal sdcard to fix the partition table but no luck and I guess I maybe made things worse! I've tried to wipe/format (so as to factory reset) from PhilZ but there's an error now during formatting with mounting: /emmc/.android_secure and with mounting: /sdcard/.android_secure
it says:
"skipping formatting - data wipe complete"

I downloaded some stock roms too but I didn't really know which one to choose (of the Ireland ones - I've assumed the phone's Irish) because the phone came to me unlocked from any network and without network provider software.

I decided then I'd better get some good advice here before I fully brick the phone by tinkering!!
Your help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks very much
Dan
