did You tried another ROM ?
I had this kind of issue in the past when mixed up different kernel, rom and speedmod or something. Just try download stable ROM from XDA and try to flash step by step via ODIN.
I'm sure You be successful.
Calm down it is not bricked it is not working because given above.
HERE You have list of workin ROM list. Now I'm on Debus and recomend it.

Flash Stock Froyo Software with Odin
Flash the XXXJPU again with ODIN.
You have to Press Vol Down + Home + Start Button.
Then open Odin.
Connect Your Samsung Handy to PC
If Odin doesn't recognize your Handy, download the samsung USB driver
If you successfull flashed the XXXJPU, put the MIUI6vxxx File and Samsung EFSBackup data onto your sd card.
and Then you can flash the new MIUI Firmware.
At first flash speedmod 500hz with odin as PDA
then go to recovery and install zip : galaxy efs backup
pull the battery out and start in download mode.
Then Flash cm7 galaxy inital kernel with odin but un tick Auto Restart.
and then wipe data and cache
then install miui6vxx

Didnt work the Vol Down + Home + Start Button. so how can I fix?

try this, plug your phone to your pc, if your phone is detected properly, use this and use the reboot download script. If this doesn't work, I can bet 50000000$ that your phone is not bricked. The fact it's loading make me sure it's aint bricked. Buy a jig on ebay, turn your phone off ( Pull the battery ) plug the jig, and you will be in download mode. Reflash a stock firmware with bootloader. This will mostly fix your problem. Next time, ask in general or Q&A, this place is only for development. Have a nice day.

Pull battery out for 30 secs. Then retry repacing battery and holding the volume down, power and home button until download mode appears. Should get you there no problems.
I would download gti9000b firmware from xda and flash from Odin to get a stock firmware. Remember to repartition and load bootloaders to make sure everything is "as is should be"
From what I see in the video I'm guessing you have gingerbread bootloaders on CM kernel/CWM which don't work at all. you may just get away with flashing a chainfire CWM kernel from download mode with Odin but it may be too screwed up with the cyanogenmod stuff and need a complete Odin firmware flash as above.

You need a GT 9000B ROM/kernel. If you lost your combo, must try with hairdryer or jit tag.

I feel yr pain mate, but I would urge you to post this in the correct section - q&a or general. The stickies are quite clear.
I'm glad so many people have helped you, many such posts in the development section have gone unanswered.
Blockbuster 2.3.4

Try JIG it help me!
At marktplaats ( EBAY??) you can buy an usb device to help you it works great.
Search te forum "Samsung i9000 galaxy S micro USB download mode Jig"

[Q] i need some help, please! SPH-L900 NOTE II

I apologize if this is already a thread in here somewhere, but I searched first with no luck. I have/ had a rooted galaxy note 2 done by method of the galaxy note 2 tool kit. I went and installed AOKP 4.2.2 but my sound wasn't working so I went to load a back up through CWM. after I slid the accept slider to start it went to a screen with " Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I have tried to flash the stock recovery with odin and It gets to the point of recovery, and then fails. is there a fix for this?
I have seen the videos on how to use TWRP, and CWM using the recovery mode on the phone, but it doesn't allow me to enter that mode using the volume up, power and home buttons. all I can access on the phone is the download mode through ODIN.

If u can't get into recovery then use download mode and flash a stock rom through Odin. I would use the mc2 stock tar in the development section.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

if you can't enter a custom recover with the power-up+home+power combo, I suspect you don't have a custom recover installed--TWRP or CWM. Sounds like you have just the stock recovery.
I suggest trying to Toolkit and install just a custom recovery. If you do, I suggest downloading the TAR file from the recovery prefer. If you haven't used one before, I like TWRP.
If everything goes well, all you'll need to do is just flash a rom you like. won't need to be stock.

[Q] Samsung Note II N7105T Broken

Hey All,
I have a current predicament on my hands.. I have a N7105T that I had rooted and I noticed my TWRP was out of date..So I decided to update it using an app I downloaded from the play store (Name has been lost to me) but it downloaded it and installed and updated..But I had presumed that something had gone wrong because It didn't reset on its own, so i reset it myself and after that it wouldn't load and was stuck on the boot screen (Where it tells you what phone you have)
I looked on here and found a solution, downloaded Odin and a restore TAR for my particular model..after that successfully worked I then decided to try and install a new rom on my phone...Well that was a bad idea, I did as was instructed wiped the data etc: clean installation..but for some reason it kept failing to install..
So now I cant even get into the Boot Manager and all its showing is that there was a problem with the firmware and to use Kies to fix it up, So I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile and followed the instuctions to load the rom onto my phone from another topic on this site...
It is now constantly failing when I try and use Odin to load the rom...It just hangs and then says failed in red.
I am stessing because I really need my phone and I know I should have just left it working but I like to try and experiment but unfortunately it has backfired on me.
I have the samsung drivers installed and I have one stock rom for my particular phone but I am in the process of downloading an older version.
My Provider is Telstra.
I hope I have provided enough info and not rambled on too much.
Regards
Justin

I had the same problem with you... I've learned that I shouldn't trust thing I don't download my self and read what it says.....
Anyways what I would suggest is go to twrp website and download the .tar of the recovery and use Odin to install it on to your phone and see if you can get into the recovery mode
(Volume down+power or volume up+home+power)
If that does the work install Kies onto your phone and under tools -》firmware upgrade and initialize (note you should only do this as your last resort since it'll put a boot loader that you won't want onto your phone

Ok...First I thank you for the help with Twrp
I have installed a stock rom from sammobile, I have got Twrp working but I have some problems atm
1. I cannot copy files onto my External SD Card
2. My Phone Memory is showing as Minus Storage
3. My Sim Card cannot be read from my phone.
Would you know of any fixes for these issues

Really wish I can help you but my best suggestion is to use Kies and do the firmware upgrade. ....
Sorry~

If you bricked your phone or can't get in recovery please read

i know this is not a question, but I see so many asking these questions on here so I figured it's the best spot for it.
****NOTE*****
Odin will NOT let you downgrade bootloader from N2 to anything below. You will get failed attempts or bootloops and usually no way to get into recovery mode. Doesn't matter which Odin you use.
You can ONLY downgrade bootloader by flashing it!​
If you were like me did the OTA or flashed over to the official 4.4.2 (N2) and seen everything was the exact same and didn't like it so you wanted to downgrade to be able to flash the custom rom you were using or the one you want to use. I didn't know any different and just did the usual .. recovery mode .. complete reset/complete wipe .. and flashed my rom. Not knowing any different I got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen and couldn't get back into recovery mode and was only able to get into download mode (odin). Odin would flash every recovery I gave and would fail at the stock roms I tried flashing so I was pretty much stuck and I couldn't post yet as I had barely joined. SO I dug in and did some research and this worked for me...
So here's how you can get recovery again and fix your phone
Thanks to jlmancuso he made the best solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...73536636214703
Simply download the attached file. It is BRICKED heaven! (worked for me.) and have your recovery (twrp, philz, cwm) file. And have Odin.
1) Extract all files fix / recovery (if haven't already) / and odin (again if haven't already)
2) Open Odin in PDA put in the "fix" file. BEFORE continuing, UNCHECK Auto Reboot. (HAS TO BE UNCHECKED)
3) Connect phone to computer
4) Once the file has finished (Odin will say pass) disconnect the phone.
DO NOT TAKE THE BATTERY OUT
5) Put it back in Recovery Mode (home / volume up / power )
Give it a minute and it will load a custom recovery.
If you were stuck at a bootloop you probably don't have a rom on your phone (cleaned and empty).
If so try flashing this in Odin as well (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0CWousOd0ntTHl2RmxPbHJWODQ/edit?usp=sharing}
When the custom recovery loads you can flash what you want.
Odin will not let you downgrade from NE2 to anything below (bootloader). I suggest flash over Philz and flash that way.
Once in the custom recovery that comes up I suggest to flash the M2 Stock with Count Reset. (back to complete stock) then can do what you want from there.
**If the custom recovery does not show up**
Repeat the steps above (Odin / add fix to PDA / Uncheck Auto Reboot / Connect Phone / start flash)
Then again DO NOT PULL BATTERY ... (once it shows pass) disconnect and reboot back in download mode ( home / volume down / power )
Flash over your recovery ... (do not pull battery) and try the Recovery Mode ... my first time I thought it was still stuck in bootloop so give it a second.
.... It's also a helpful hint to be able to downgrade completely .... (If you USE Google Wallet make sure you remove password or you will lock up the app (as so I read) and a helpful FYI Google Wallet is fixing to discontinue working on anything 4.3 and under ... that's really the main reason why they pushed 4.4 so fast)

Yeah thanks to him for having the .tar file it's the easiest way now to get your phone working. The other way you had to bypass the bootloader. With the .tar it just rewrites what screwed up pretty much. So tons of kudos to garwynn

Works like a chwrm

[Q] Note 3 (sm-n900w8) can't get into recovery Mode after Flashing CWM

Helllo Sorry if this is not in the proper place I have not had much experience posting.
my Phone is a Note 3 (sm-n900w8) Canada (rogers)
running Lollipop 5.0
base version n900w8vlu2doc4
kernel 3.4.0-4348112
[email protected]#1
build number ..... lrx21v.n900w8vlu2doc4
ap: n900w8vlu2doc4
I Flashed CF Auto root first (CF-Auto-Root-hltecan-hlteub-smn900w8.tar) All went well and I got root access
Then I Flashed CWM ( n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk_L5.0(0812)) and all seemed to go well but .. I could not get into
recovery mode. when I pressed vol up + Home + power key at the same time it went directly to download modes second screen..( the one that is ready for you to hit start on odin.) ...
I was able to reboot and try several times with the same result.
I then went and got the CWM app and tried to enter form there to only get stuck on the download mode without being able to reset.
then I flashed the CWM again and was back to being able to reset but not being able to get into recovery mode.
I updated CWM recovery setup from the app to the latest 6.0.4. and then tried to back up my current rom ... this let to a boot loop that said something like ..... Kernel is not seandroid enforcing...
once again I was able to get into download mode and re flash CWM and get back to my original problem ... not being able to get into download mode
Can anyone help me figure this out
Thanks

Maybe your button is not working? Check it. Anyway, are you sure you're using the right version of CWM for you phone? I am using N900W8 withTWRP no problem. Get it here:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/200/
After you got TWRP installed, you can just flash SuperSU to get root:
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
If you want CWM, you can try this one:
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-hlte.img

hi Happy
thanks for the suggestions. the buttons work.. is the cmd version you sent me the link for...... Is it for my phone? sm-n900w8 running lolliepop 5.0
also it is not in .tar format.. do I just need to zip it and rename it to recovery to have it work in odin
I was also thinking about flashing twrp because you said it worked for you but I am not sure if it will work if I try to put it on after having cmd in there. also I am already rooted
do you know if this will be ok?
I was also going to try to use the dd version of installing. I have not tried this before just oden.. but the directions or twrp for oden are a bit confusing not sure what they mean when they say type Fastboot.
thank you

Try Samsung Tools in play store. Boot into recovery, bootloader etc.
