Thank you guys! i got it fixed
really dont know how to thank you!

What do u mean by keeping into download mode?
Normally you can go out this mode holding Power boutton and the phone reboots. Or you can remove the battery, press the vol up + home + power and then put back the battery to enter into recovery mode.

It's already fixed, with the 3 button combo the phone didn't get into recovery mode but it kept getting into download mode. it was impossible for me to get into the recovery.
so like they said above i flashed an stock firmware with odin on my pc.
and now the problem is solved.

exactly what I did with my phone, if it don't work your doing something wrong.

May have bricked my GS3

I initially flashed the CM10 JB stable ROM successfully. The only problem I had was that I was unable to transfer files via USB to my computer, so I tried using the toolkit to flash the stock rom, but when it was flashing I got an error message that my phone disconnected.
When I turn my phone on I can only get into download mode. If i just press the power button, I receive a black screen.
I have tried using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 to flash the stock ROM using ODIN but the phone freezes at the Samsung logo screen after the T-Mobile "4G Android" screen.
Any help is truly appreciated

can you get into recovery mode? if you can, try installing a rom from an external micro sd card (that you know previously worked)

If you got this far, then you need to do a factory reset.

I can not get into recovery mode. I can only get into Download mode for some reason.

you cant. You need to boot into recovery. Trust me you can get in it, might take a few tries. Try to boot into recovery without the usb cable plugged in.With the phone completely off, and unplugged do the vol-up, home +power combo til it flashes that first screen, it can be a ***** but youll get in
Try turning the device off, remove the battery and leave it there for 60 secs. Make sure the phone is unplug from computer and the hit vol up, home, power until the phone vibrate then release. This should get the phone into the stock recovery.

I really do not think I will be able to get in. I have tried it so many times and even previously could only get into CWM recovery through the app on my phone to boot into recovery. I could never actually get in holding the vol-up+home+power.
Is it possible to flash CWM recovery through ODIN and download mode?
I'm not sure why this stock rom is freezing after I flash it through odin.

pick ur poison--
cwm original--- https://dl.dropbox.com/s/tal5szplmicwfw5/cwm-norm.tar?dl=1
cwm touch--- https://dl.dropbox.com/s/td6q227c2iur53m/cwm-touch.tar?dl=1
twrp--- https://dl.dropbox.com/s/gegn4jfuc74sq1d/TWRP (3).tar?dl=1
i would suggest trying a different cable and if ur gonna use odin again, wipe everything (especially /system!) in recovery before booting into download mode for the odin flash. would also reccomend tryin the legit stock rom in odin (unrooted) if its still freezing on you.
Flash with Odin again, then after it is successfully completed power down phone you have to hold vol up home and power until you see some blue text appear in the top left corner then factory reset from recovery

Yea getting into recovery is tricky if you don't hold the buttons long enough (let go too soon). These guys really gave you great advice.

If you couldn't get into CWM recovery before you screwed the rom then you just aren't doing it right.with phone off, hold up and home, then hold powered button for like 3 sec then let go of only power... but i think you are right the download mode skips the Samsung logo.the recovery puts up Samsung logo before booting recovery. Why can't you Odin a recovery partition ?

That they have, I took the battery out and let it sit for a little and tried it to get into recovery and it worked! I'm was able to boot up regularly after and I truly thank you all for the help because I was having a heart attack.

I have lost my recovery!

After all the problems i had with my Wifi using ics (arco) i decided to downgrade to stock rom but with the new baseband hoping to solve the prblm. I downgraded according to "the-e"'s guide using ODIN but, i didnt flash stock recovery because i thought i would still have CWM recovery.
Now that i want to root, the "Box" comes up when i reboot but it just restarts and doesnt enter recovery mode~ i have no recovery. I tried using ODIN again, but it cant find my phone, it says "please connect phones". Even kies says my phone is incompatible!!?
What do i do?

When using odin you have to put your phone into download mode and then plug it into the pc while opening odin. Do you did that?

I cant enter download mode?! The page comes where i have to press the volume up button but that doesnt bring any reaction. neither does volume down (which is supposed to restart the phone).
download mode is volume down+home dude
maybe reflashing from odin could work?
If not mistaken, we will lost CWM and it may go back to stock recovery if we flash a stock ROM, by the way did you manage to enter into stock recovery?
If yea just download the Zip-file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317394 to get root

Unable to flash philz touch 6.41.6

i just flashed Phoenix V18.8 rom and when i reboot, i plan to check on the recovery mode but it shown me download mode instead of recovery mode...
both power button + home + up/down goes into download mode...
try to use odin3.07 to flash philz_touch_6.41.6-n7100.tar.md5 which i get from here http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100
but every times it just said " Pass " and reboot....and goes in back to my Phoenix rom(i mean go into android system)....and i power it off...try again...still became download mode...any help?? :crying::crying::crying:
You do know that go into recovery mode you got to press volume UP ,home button and power button, (volume down ,home and power is for download mode) Just retry pressing the correct buttons. Doens't phoenix rom have extended power menu where when you click on reboot from the ROM/Android system you get options of going into recovery/download/reboot?

Yes I do press the correct button,
Up+home+power
And
I did reatart into recovery but it turns me into download mode...which I don't know why after I flashed v18.8 phoenix rom....
It's not exactly the same as down+home+power download mode wherby this step show me whether I want to go into download mode by pressing up or restart by pressing down...
But the "recovery mode" which turns into download mode...it didn't ask me anything and directly turns into download mode

A recovery is a recovery what a rom states is what they think works best to flash it. If you are having trouble I would use twrp as its good at flashing roms to.

Turn off your phone,
Press three buttons simultaneously &
Release power button when note2 N7100 logo appears.
Plus, install mobile odin pro from play store & Forget PC Odin things. & flash Stock Roms , recovery(all .Tar files) stuff at your fingertips & on the go.
Except if you want to flash bootloader then of course it requires PC odin.

Samsung grand dous GT I9082 doesn't boot into recovery or download mode

Hello to the bosses here! I'm new here and I need your help .
I tried to flash TWRP and CWM with flashify because i don't have a PC at my reach
So after I tried this , I discovered that my phone won't boot into recovery again. When I tried to hold the buttons or boot with the help of some apps after getting to the start logo it will went off and come up again. I don't really understand how to get my recovery back . please someone should help because my phone is more or less useless. Thanks.

What do you mean by factory mode? Does it boot to system (normal launcher)? And what ver. and type of recovery did you try to flash? What was the last firmware/OS did you used before this happen?
Try look up for USB jig thread.

Yes it boot into launcher, it's working fine. I tried Twrp using flashify I think that's where the error comes from. I'm using the stock firmware. 4.1.2
