unbrick img for samsung galaxy s3 s968c (straight talk)

I bought this phone a few days ago on a swap site on facebook and seemed to have hard bricked it within an hour. it was running android 4.1.2 and i wanted to try upgrading the firmware by flashing CM. first step was backing up to the h1 broadband. done. next rooting. done. good. last step was unlocking the bootloader. i saw a post that said since i was running 4.1 i would be ok to use ez unlock. Big mistake. i reset the phone and now nothing. the only light i can manage to get is a red power light when connected to a charger with no battery. I tried the SD card approach with the verizon unbrick image since the phones are similar but the file i had did not work. I have also tried the USB jig. it didnt work either. next Im planning to try the USB jig with the unbrick image but i was curious to see if the unbrick image for the straight talk version was floating around anywhere. After hours of searching, i have not came across it myself. Anybody know my options outside of jtag or replacing the logic board? and if you have the unbrick image please let me know! thanks.
