My battery died and I went to jump it and it doesn't even try to turn over. I have know clue what it could be please help? When ever I open a door or try to start it all the lights in the dash and my yellow lights in the front and my rear lights blink 30 times.

Sounds like either an ECO or security system issue. Were the jumper cables hooked up backwards?
