If you're able to boot into cwm, then you're fine.
I'm assuming you were flashing a ROM, so just wipe everything x3, and reflash the ROM or a different one.

Sounds like you may still have stock kernel on a custom rom.

Now that doesn't make sense. You can safely get into CWM, but not into download mode?
I have to ask to make sure. With the phone off, you're holding the 1 key on the keyboard and then holding the power button?
Well if that's the case, get to a PC and insert your SD card into a reader. Download a kernel, like Genocide v2 or etc to the card, and boot into CWM to flash the new kernel off the card. See if that helps.
yes i hold down 1 and the power button, and i tried the genocide2.0 and it still does the same just the samsung screen has a different logo
Sounds like my hardware locked vibrant try flashing cm7 or miui then see if you can make it back to dl mode

What ROM are you trying to flash? If you are getting the Sammy screen, you aren't far away from success

If your phone has life you should be able to get into download mode. Take your battery out, press the power button for 10 seconds. With the battery still out connect with cable to computer and press and hold the 1 key on the keyboard and then add pressing and holding the power button. Download mode will appear. Connect to Odin now.

I'm trying to access the Download Mode for my Epic 4g but can't seem to do so. I've flashed my phone back to stock several times in the past so I know I'm following the correct procedure.
The problem started after flashing my phone to Eclair DI18 using Odin and using the one click root & recovery 2.55. I was constantly receiving 2.2 OTA update notices so I clicked install thinking that I could restore back to stock if something went wrong. I received an error message during the update but the phone was able to start into Eclair so I didn't think anything of it.
Well, I tried flashing my phone back to stock today for the purpose of updating the phone, but I couldn't get download mode to start. Thinking that I could restore the download mode using one of my old back up files from CW3, I tried the restore option but it was a no go.
Is there any way to restore my phone without using Odin? I'm still able to boot into recovery mode. If that's not possible, is there anyway to remove clockworkmod recovery so I can bring the phone into a Sprint store?
Thank you in advance!

Download mode is built into the phone. ROMs shouldn't kill it. Pull out the battery, plug the phone into the computer. Now hold the 1 key and then press and hold the power button. If it goes into download mode then you can put the battery back in.
Just tried it but I get stuck in a boot loop. It boots into samsung screen, reboots, samsung screen, reboots...
With the battery in and usb out, i'm able to boot into CW recovery...
If you are holding the 1 button first then holding power you shouldnt go to the Samsung boot screen.
If you are I dont know of any other way to get into download mode. Sorry.

Maybe your 1 key is broken.
Do you BONSAI?
if the 1 and power= no download mode then maybe keeny is right and ur 1 key is broken, maybe use the samsung update tool with eb13 in it?
Does that make it go in download mode automatically?
Look in the dev section for the re-rfs rom and install that.

Ya, I think so. From what I can tell, re-rfs should have worked on either green or orange recovery.

I took out the battery for awhile, plugged in my usb, and tried accessing download mode and it WORKED! Awesome! Thanks, man! re-rfs was the way to go
SOLVED! Thanks everyone for all of your replies
I am also having similar problem.
On pressing power on botton or Volume Down+Cam+ power button.. NOTHING HAPPENS.
However I can boot into Download Mode (on battery only).
1) Computer do not recognize USB Drive. (tried uninstalling drivers > rebooting > reinstalling > rebotting ) still USB device not recognized. Even tried with different USB cable. And different ports.
2) However I managed it on my other computer. Where only 1 out of 4 USB port recognize my device.
3) Tried Odin to flash EC05 Stock... It hangs at some place or the other, and screen goes off or some times green (very rare).
4) Phone do not restart in Download mode without battery.
I tried to boot download mode without battery (plugged into computer).. but it wont.
Battery+USB = phone wont boot in download mode.
Phone boots to download mode only on Battery.
After that If i plug in the phone and remove the battery.. screen still stays on.
i downloaded darkside digital warfare, moved it to the sdcard and added the flags. installed it from touch cwm recovery, now it it wont boot up. it goes to the darthvader loading screen blue line fills up quick then goes to samsung logo then turns off. just got this phone saturday and now i cant use it. i had a 7in galaxy tab i never had problem loading a rom on. what do you guys think?
Reinstall it through cwm

Just get back into recovery and flash a different ROM. I had that happen a few times, it's just a bad flash. If the other ROM boots fine, it might have been a bad download.

Have you tried a factory and data reset to factory settings from the recovery? Usually fixes the problem. Always do that before and maybe after a custom rom zip installation.
He said it wont boot into recovery, but he didn't answer whether or not he can get into download mode. Thats his only hope if recovery isn't booting.
I cant get it on turn on period. if I try t boot into recovery, it does nothing. very stange!!
oh yea..... nor does it go ino download mode for some reason. sorry about that. what happened??

This may not be it but are you sure the phone is charged and has enough battery life? I'm wondering what battery % you were at when you started the process?
Maybe try removing the battery for 10 seconds and trying to boot into recovery again?
phone was fully charged.

According to what you wrote you installed a ROM for 717 not 747 that could be your problem

If you can't get into download mode you are screwed if you can get into it flash stock firmware through odin

Try to get into Download Mode:
FROM A POWERED-DOWN STATE - BATTERY REMOVED
- Insert battery, then press and hold Vol-, Home button, and Power.
- Press and hold Vol-/Home/Power, Insert Battery.

From download mode, if that works which it should, use Odin to reflash stock ROM then install CM10 over it after reflashing CWM.
Sounds like you have a hard brick man. Mobiletechvideos Jtag service is what you may need.

So I'm running an unlocked rogers galaxy note 2 I1737M. I was using clean rom 3.3 then today it just crashed everything. I tried to reboot to recovery and well it got stuck in a boot loop there. This was at work so now several hours later I am sitting here trying to reset set my phone. I have tried odin to restore to the stock files, hell I would be happy with just that. I used the imiage found in the refrence thread of the android develpment. any tips? links? help of any kind? Anything will be greatly apreceated.
worst part is I got it yesterday.
EDIT: I thought I should add that I am using odin v1.85 and that I am unable to get the phone to boot into anysort of recovery, ok I did once but can't get it to do it again. Not even stock.

I was using Stock LJ2 kernel CMW-flashable. After several hours of fighting with TWRP I was able to install CWM using odin and got my self out it looks like. The only thing with CWM is that data wipe seems to crash the recovery so I hope this dirty install of the rom I had saved on their works just fine.
Was using the Galaxy S3 toolkit to update cwm, went to flash an AOSP rom intended for d2att models, went to reboot the device... It flashes the samsung logo briefly then sits at a black screen with a solid amber LED. ODIN does not see it, my PC sees the device but I can't flash anything at all. Can't get to download mode either holding the power and any combination of the volume keys does nothing. Someone please help point me in the right direction to fix this. Thanks in advance.
If or PC sees it u could check and see if ADB sees it and maybe wipe and flash from there

Download mode is Vol down + home + power. Can you get into recovery?
Thanks. I can only get into download mode at the moment. I'm downloading the stock firmware now and going to try flashing it in ODIN. Hopefully I'll get something to work here.

If it takes longer than 10 or so minutes, pull the battery, replace and booting into stock recovery. Wipe data and cache. Reboot
It take bit longer than normal but it should boot within a minute or two
