Also, is your battery fully charged?

Also, you can try the hard reset button on back of the phone tooo..

I wouldnt say your the fist one who has this issue..but to be sure we gotta try a few standard stuff first before assuming anything..

so im guessing the hard reset was accomplish .. i used a pen as instructed in the op of that thread .... i reflash ODIN this time using the froyo stock tar again passed successful ... it rebooted to samsung then black screen ... i pulled out the battery and SD while letting this process work .... im tryn to charge the battery but again it just flashes the batt off n on 1sec on then off .. dnt even get to see how far long the batt has juice ......... so im guessin im assed out ....... but I WILL TAKE ANY ADVICE .... i wll try any even spiting gum at it to see if it works .... BTW when its on the usb or charger it self the red light for it to charge doesn't even pop up ..

THANX GUYS FOR TAKING YOUR TIME OUT TO HELP ME

not yet..too busy ..I plan to fix it next week...in my case its a complete brick...aka it doesnt even turn on.

As for usb thing, charging is a different pin then data..but I dont see a reason why your phone would act like it does..a damaged pin should not be able to cause it..

rooting does not brick..the kernel didnt play nice with my phone..they took the kernel down due to it bricking phones...not everyone got bricked on that kernel but it warranted concern. If you use one of the current kernels it should be fine..and rooting definitely wont brick your phone...

YEA like @gTen says it wasnt from ROOTING my phone has been ROOTED and was currently running on a Devolopers ROM called MIDNIGHT V5.2 journaling on BYOR .... ive didn have no issues with his previously releases plus the fact that u can build it (meaning : add your on software to it was nice hence it being called BYOR build your own rom ) .. it was working fine for as long as i had and when the rom was posted so for a while now ... ive had different roms but liked this 1 the best ...

my problem came just randomly i was goin to text someone and it froze i couldnt hit home - or power button anything .. and from other post was my problems and help start to come in ... BUT NOT FROM ROOTING AT ALL that was probably the easiest part of the epic journey ( one click method root )
