1) you are not bricked if you can get to download mode

2) find the post for going back to factory. You will have to use odin. There is also a post something like "restoring from the brink". I think that one is a sticky. [Edit] it is in the roll up sticky thread in the development section. "[How to] restore a semi-bricked epic from the brink". Took two minutes to find on my phone... [/edit]

3) search before posting (not trying to be an asshole)

Thank you everyone who was willing and helpful. I got it back up and right now on stock rom, EL30. Is there a rom out there that you guys prefer for both performance and candy?

You're about to get 400 people saying CM9. I prefer TW Roms like Legendary (no EL30 yet.)
Before blaming the dev consider that it might have been you. They probably know more and make fewer mistakes.

SGS4
Stock Rooted

SGS3
Rom: StrongSteve Odexed Blue

Galaxy Tab 10.1
Rom: Task AOKP

I like cm7 for 2.3 (stable, themes on the market, awesomeness) and cm9 is still in testing phase and has its fair share of issues. Try both and see.
