Help boot loop when trying to update kernel

Ok, I did many dumb things today and my phone won't boot. I had UKB 2.1 on my Fascinate without any problems and wanted to update to CM7/MIUI Glitch V12 Beta. I booted into recovery mode and installed from SD card and it boot looped. I then tried restoring a nandroid backup I created from last night and that did not work. I then retried to reflash UKB 2.1 and now I can't even get back into recovery mode and it keeps looping the Glitch/Samsung screens. I did this all while in a panic.
It was very noobish for me but I never had a problem before and I guess I should have read all the info before doing this. Any help trying to get back into recovery? I held both volume buttons and push power and it just loops.
 
Ok, now I can get into CWM, but when I do a factory reset, cache/dalvich wipe, and reboot, I get a frozen Samsung screen during boot. Any ideas?
 
I recently had the exact same problem as you except no matter what I tried I could not get into CWM and my computer didn't even recognize my phone. I ended up taking it back to the store where they had a very strong suspicion that I was messing with things I shouldn't be, but I ended up getting a new phone. If all else fails play dumb.
