Root Hard bricked?

Soft bricked. A hard bricked phone and a phone without a battery act the same - dead.

Can you get it into download mode? (If not, you can use a Samsung Jig - that'll put even a hard-bricked phone into download mode.) Go to SamMobile Firmwares put in the model number (1500 for the Fascinate?) and download the correct ROM. (Careful - flashing the wrong ROM will leave you where you are now.) That should bring you back to stock. (Some of them are flashable with Kies - orange icon on the right.)
