Hello and welcome to the forums!
We're going to need more information than just a picture. What did you do to get it to this state? Is the phone rooted?

I actually got it to do something
the picture in the original post is what it looks like when it is plugged in to the computer and when i unplug it it shows this screen
i got the phone from a friend that wanted it restored to its original state the phone was rooted for metroPCS i don't know what version or what root was used
so i tried to restore it and i ended up bricking it into what it is doing now
i have hacked iphones before but i am not familial with any android flashing/rooting techniques
i tried looking it up but there is so much terminology i don't know and i don't remember the original firmware of what it was rooted/flashed to

If it turns on, you're not bricked

Looks like it wants an ruu. I think we can get you hooked up. Where is ocn when you need him?
like mizzou said this is a ruu. so what exactly did you do? did you run a ruu .exe on your computer? are you trying to unroot it? if so here is the guide you need:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html. go to the unrooting section to unroot the phone.
edit: i moved the thread to the rooting section.

the only thing that changed is it is in S-ON
none of the buttons are responding i cant get it to power off unless i remove the battery and pwr+vol down dose nothing
also i am trying to unroot it

well looks like you can get to the bootloader which is power+vol down. you have s-on now so that is a step in the right direction. what about the second step, getting stock rom and recovery? did you name the file correctly? does the bootloader do anything?
