Welcome to the forums!
Can you reboot into recovery, or download mode?

No it wont do anything but stay on that same screen, unless theres a way to do so I dont know? I tryed to go into download mode but it wont do anything...

Ok, so you can't get into Download mode, and recovery? If that is true, you most likely bricked your device. You can try searching for a JTAG service or device, but there is no guarantee the service or device will get it fixed.

holding the three buttons for download mode...no, does nothing, going into recovery have no idea how to do that, I assume thats an option after getting to download mode...so since no download mode, I'm bricked then? If so, thanks for the info at least...guess I'm kinda screwed cuz it has 4 counts so Sprints not gonna help I'm sure...

Recovery mode is volume up, home and power.
