Can you put it into bootloader and flash stock ROM?

Yeah, turn it off. Then push and hold the volume down button and then press and hold the power button and continue holding those buttons down and see if the tricolor bootloader screen comes up. If so then you can download the shipped rom for your carrier and connect your usb cable to your pc and flash the shipped stock rom.

It would also be helpful to what you did to "brick" it. The things I know that actually brick a phone are: 1) hardware problem 2) flash GSM radio to CDMA device (or vice vera) 3) use GSM unlocker on a CDMA device (or vice versa). If you don't think it's a hardware problem, and you didn't do 2 or 3, I'd guess you're not really "bricked".

I think its a hardware problem because it just stayed on the splash screen in a random day, and yes I did try flashing to shipped but with no luck and I did not flash to a gsm rom.

and I also got a question with hard reseting, when I used to hard reset there only used to be two options, one to format and one to cancel, but now there is an option to format MoviNand, the roms I've tried to flash were sprint shipped and sprint leaked, none of them worked.

I would take out the battery for 10 mins, re-insert and try sprint stock.

Those options are normal.
Did you flash the shipped rom from bootloader?
