Well, I tried installing a rom I downloaded, and it all went well, then I installed the ROM. It went surprisingly quickly, then it went into safestrap. Now, the touch screen won't respond, and when it goes past the safestrap, it just stays at a black screen. Please help.
Tried installing a new ROM, now it won't boot up

If he's not unlocked and on 4.1.1 he needs to use Matts utility 1.10 if he uses utility 1.20.on 4.1. 1 he's gonna have some issues.

Hmm... Why do you say that? If he's locked he can go up just not down.
It's late I'm tired... Let me know if I'm missing something.

If he updated to official Verizon update in stock slot (4.1.2), then he needs to use utility 1.20. 1.20 is designed for 4.1.2 and it includes all the fastboot files for 4.1.2. The key here is whether or not you flashed the official update.
Many people have been having problems using the wrong utility lol, I guess he needs to be unlocked in order to upgrade or downgrade.

I see where you are coming from but it doesn't matter what his stock rom is. All that will be overwritten with the 4.1.2 fastboot files. You can go up with a locked bootloader.
Also unless he can boot his stock rom he cannot unlock.
Of course I never thought to say just boot up your unsafe side but I have seen a ton of people have issues getting their stock side to boot up after using safestrap. Thank god an unlock has been found so you can use a normal recovery.

Sounds like you installed the ROM over the stock slot, which you can't do on a locked bootloader. Like everyone said, you need to run Matt's utility to restore it to stock. While you're at it, unlock the thing and read up a little on the proper procedures for modifying the phone.
