It's pretty unusual for custom ROM instructions to tell you to wipe EVERYTHING - do you know/remember if you wiped the /efs partition?

At least it gets that far. Have you tried booting into Download (Odin) mode? If that works, you can either try loading the stock un-rooted firmware using Kies or Odin, or you can try loading your custom ROM using Odin.

Edit: welcome to the forums.

cant remeber if i wiped efs

i can get the phone into either download and recovery mode but thats as far as it gets.

everything has been wiped so lets look at it that way lol.

i did find a link on a different site on how my problem can be solved but his links lead to mediafile and they have been shut down so i cant get all the files to do it.
