I read somewhere that the T889V can't get into download mode via vol down+home+power. Is this true? The person said they had to use a USB jig.

i had to buy a USB-Jig to force it into download mode on the t889v. perhaps try the Toolkit to force it to download mode upon reboot.

I'm able to get into download mode but the computer doesn't recognize it at all.. I've tried all ports and 3 different USB cords. I have no recovery so download mode is my only option. When I attempt to boot into recovery, I get a "[Phone]...!...[Computer]" logo.
I don't think it's bricked because I'm able to get into download mode, it's just not recognized. I've tried a different computer.

your phone need to be turned off in order to enter download mode.
if I misunderstood you situation and you tried with your phone turned off, can you enter recovery mode?
did you install clockwork mod recovery after rooting your phone?
I have a rogers aswell, hold volume up plus power plus home. Then you can plug your cord in, put whatever in Odin then make sure stuff like f reset and what you need are checked off or not checked off then click start.
If it doesn't work, getting into download mode you did something wrong before, I was able to do it after, so should you

Go in recovery and restore your phone to whenever your phone worked and don't reflash the last thing you flashed. Probably a bad kernel.
If you did not make a backup. Boot in download mode and use Odin to flash a stock rom you may also need to flash a stock kernel depending of what ROM you flash.

Bought this phone on Craiglist, when i got home, i turn it on and found that it only boot in to Download mode.
If i try to boot into Recovery then it go into "Fastboot", but i can't not navigate at all.
Then i try to reload the factory firmware via Odin then the phone will on but it in "Safe Mode". If i reboot it then it go into "Download" mode again.
I don't know what to do now.
Please help!!!
Go back to fastboot and use tool kit to set it back to factory settings and see if that works. Hope you didn't pay much.

It was on, i didn't see the safe mode on the bottom left until got home (like i said in the first post, if flash it with odin, first reboot it will boot to safe mode, but if it turn off) then it will go to download mode.
if it's a Verizon or GSM version you can follow this guide to fastboot flash a stock image
Oh gotcha.

I tried to go back to stock using the Galaxy Note2 ToolKit V4.1.0/Odin. While Odin was flashing the stock image about 15% through it failed. My phone was stuck in download mode, and no matter what I tried I couldnt get out so I had to pull the battery. Now I cant get into recovery (guessing its gone) and when I try to power on or go into recovery my phone says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again. Now ToolKit cant do anything, it just gets stuck on waiting for USB debugging to be enabled.
Is there anything I can do or is it toast?
Try flashing the firmware again. It should help.
Hit thanks if I helped!!

I tried several times
Does anyone have a link to the original stock .tar? Im trying to download it from samsung but its extremely slow and won't finish for a couple hours. I think I can put my phone into download mode and flash it straight from Odin.
Then try doing what it says. Go to recovery using kies and flash..
