I was getting ready to flash the new Quantum Rom before I realized I need to to install the EXT4 support.
Decided I would just do it in the morning and tried to restore my phone.

Can you still get your phone into download mode? If you can, follow the instructions in the sticky post titled " how to recover your fascinate from any brick... " by Dalev.

No offense, but judging by your post you have no business flashing/rooting anything if you don't understand what your doing, let alone on someone else's phone.

You can install different launchers without being rooted...just an fyi

I don't think I've bricked my phone, I hope you can help me. Done some reading here, but still a big time noob! Trying to flash back to stock for the Verizon upgrade, my phone is stuck on the screen with a gold triangle and a exclamation point in the center of a cell Phone and a computer. I found a thread with a similar problem. I can't seem to have a successful flash in odin. I keep getting a fail when i flash the test file. I would be content if I could just get the phone to boot and have my Miunia Rom working again. Someone please help.

That means you have no kernel our rom in the phone. Not sure what this "test file" you are trying to flash is, but I'm not surprised its failing. Flashing dl 17 should work. If not, flash the ec07 leak, with the proper pit file, repartition unchecked. Then flash dl17.
Dished out by my dumb digits
now it's worse, I hit the dark abyss
So, I flashed(with odin) the clean Eco7 stock with with the correct pit file. It seemed to be doing fine, it got all the way to recov.bin but then I froze there for about an hour. At this point i didn't think it was going to pass anyway so i unplugged the phone and stopped the program(oops?). Now my phone is even worse, it seems lifeless. The phone won't even go to down load mode. I found on another post where someone else was also getting nothing, no power just blackness, and I followed those directions. Still a black screen. It seems more grim than ever! One thing I have noticed that while attempting to flash, a few times my computer completely rebooted. Out of know where! This has happened about 5 or 6 times. I'm just about ready to turn on my old flip phone but I just don't want to give up yet! Any more suggestions?!
Oops, is right. You may have hard bricked yourself. I've tried helping people out of this one before, with no sucess. That is the reason I told you to make sure repartition was unchecked. You can try to power on, and issue an adb command, if you have it installed. But, I doubt it will work. The reason you don't have download, at this point, is because you don't have a secondary bootloader on your phone, anymore. It turns into a catch 22. Download mode is supposedly hard written on the chip. So, you could use a jig to force it into download mode. I'd say that that is your best bet, at this point.
did uncheck repartition
I did uncheck repartition but obviously with no avail. I Will try the"jig" but I don't know anything about it. Is this a file I can download or what?
No matter what happens, thanks soooo much for the efforts to help me!!! Especially wolf??
No. A jig is a piece of hardware. Do a youtube search for 'download mode jig' and you''' get some good hits. You'd have to construct it, or get ahold of some of the devs that have. I don't recall the name, but one dev made one for the Fascinate. I'd imagine it would work for our phone too.
If anyone can remember who it is (I want to say Adam Outler, but I might be wrong) pipe up.
Hey guys.
Tonight I rooted my phone with the hopes of everything going smooth, it didn't. It was a nightmare rooting the phone itself.
I was trying to install TWRP recovery through Goomanager but that didn't work so I did it through fast boot and terminal emulator with the commands.
After it was done I rebooted my phone and it just went to a black screen with the blue notification light. Then the phone turned off. I can't turn it on at all nor can I get it to go into download mode.
I recently just got this phone, one week ago to be exact, as an early Christmas present and I haven't really even been able to enjoy the phone because I've had the flu. I just now recovered from it and this happens.
I am in a insanely bad situation.
Is there anything at all I can do? Please help me...

In these situations its best to provide as much information as possible. What was your Baseband? MDL? MF3? if you have no idea what any of this means....then you shouldn't be trying to flash anything on your phone, atleast not until after doing a ton of research. Your best bet is to try and get it into download mode and ODIN back to a stock image. If you can't get into download mode then unfortunately there isn't much you can do. You can try going to a best buy and see if they can flash it for you. You should know that if you're on MF3 you CANNOT flash a custom recovery other than SafeStrap. Hope some if this helps.
This phone is super special with special needs.if you can get it into DL mode than SEARCH for the Odin files that are floating around here.this phone will teach you how to read again

If the phone is new like you said, its a good chance the model is MF3. The custom recovery you installed doesnt work for that model which more than likely cased or helped cause your issue. If you dont know the model and your phone won't turn on...the model number is listed on the box (assuming you still have it).
The TC mentioned he can't obtain DL mode so I'm not sure how the using odin will help him since it won't recognize his phone. I'd try best buy and go from there. If you try to have it warrentied while pleading the "I dont know what happened" card to your carrier...just be warned, if they replace it and find out it was rooted or messed with than they will charge your account the full retail cost. I've had many phones replace via manufacturers warranty and that is the first thing they tell me. It can even be an issue if the screen has a tiny scratch. Hope it works out.

He he can't turn it on best buy isn't going to help either. No one will be able to tell it's rooted either. Just take it back to where you got it and tell them it won't turn on. If it does turn on then you can Odin it.

Pull the battery and wait a minute. Then replace it and see if you can use the correct key combo to get into recovery. If you fix it or get it replaced I suggest you do a lot of reading and learning before doing anything else. Good luck.
Bricked Galaxy S4
I've been there my self. The best and fastest thing to do now is go on the Wed and look up mobiletechvideo .
The guys are great. The turn around is fast.

Trying to flash Eclipse ROM following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54674079&highlight=guide#post54674079
I got stuck on a black screen. I was told to ODIN the nc2kernel but didn't know what that meant.
I was able to figure out how to use ODIN and get it to recognize the device by plugging it in to the computer and taking out the battery.
This video helped me figure out ODIN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7qjZDouPMo
I put Beans' nc2kernel in the AP slot of ODIN v3.09 and hit start.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358549122
The phone rebooted to the Eclipse splash/loading screen but got stuck for a long time (30 + minutes)
I took the battery out, went back in to SafeStrap and did a factory wipe which preserved the internal SD data I think?, then re-installed the Eclipse ROM .zip from the downloads folder and let it reboot.
Suddenly, it worked!!! I'm still not entirely sure what just happened but my phone seems to be working again and I'm really happy about that. Hopefully anyone else new to this and totally lost like I was might see this and be helped.

Thanks. I appreciate that and am glad to know there's a place to get help if I get stuck!
When I thought I bricked my phone I was super freaked out and wished I'd never started down this path but now that it's working... oh man, totally worth it. This ROM is everything I wanted it to be.
Everything about the Samsung skin was so ugly I almost didn't like using the phone at all. First I tried installing different launchers thinking that would be good enough but when I found out you couldn't circumvent their dialer when calling (the ugliest part in my opinion) I decided to give rooting a try. Maybe that's a stupid reason but I just really hated that dialer!
I just don't understand where Samsung is going with their interface design. Plus all the extra bloat they saddle the phone down with. Unless they take their future phones out of lockdown I don't think I'll be getting another non Nexus phone from them in the future.
Anyway, the amount of information on this forum is incredible and I'm really grateful for all the work everyone puts in to developing all these tools and methods. It's got to be a ton of hard work and then they just share them with everyone... amazing. I can't wait to read about all the other cool things people here are doing
