Depending on what you flashed, you may have to get (worse case scenario) a download jig. They're easy to make if you got a solder iron. Google Samsung download jig or search xda for the how to make.
That's if you can't get it to go into download with the battery drop in trick.

And btw, hard brick is a phone that does nothing.

Try a different cord to, some of the cheap phone chargers won't work (unable to transfer files, etc)

Hey,

thanks for the hint ...downloading mode did appear for a second

but now, it's stuck in

"Downloading....

Do not turn off Target!!!"

is this a good sign?

    It wont even let me go into Download or Recovery Mode

    Pull the battery out of the phone. Plug the usb cable into the COMPUTER ONLY. replace battery, hold the vol up and vol down keys ONLY, while plugging in the usb cable to phone. This will put the phone in down load mode. Then flash the package.
