i would like to get into recovery mode but it wont let me. the only thing i can do is open it up in download mode. if i just normally start the phone it shows the first screen saying samsung...then it shuts off. if i hold down the volume down and the power button it does the same. i can only get into download mode. need a fix.

That's probably because for recovery you need to hold down the volume down and up buttons and the power button.

Well I was did same thing with my sgh i777, but I bing my issue in 2 hours. Just you need odin and sgh i777 original stock. I hope you will find it by binging it or reply me I will upload it for you.
Have a nice day
First make sure you're using the latest odin available. Second, a lot of time for me, my phone will only get recognized on certain usb ports on my computer so odin doesn't see it. For example the two top front ports don't recognize it at all. The middle two do. I have an idea of why but haven't bothered to try fixing it. Point is, try every usb port u have. If it still doesn't recognize it, try reinstalling kies and the latest usb drivers for our device. (there are generic usb drivers for it)
We're you using a custom rom before? With which kernel? Odin a custom kernel with recovery, like siyah etc..... Then use 3 button combo to get into recovery

Background
I'm not a developer or hacker but a general android enthusiast and flashaholic (not to be confused with the rom builder ;-) ) With my addiction, I have soft bricked my phone many times where my only option is to use the Entropy's Return to Stock tool to go back to factory settings because I couldn't get to recovery.
The problem is that I don't want to go back completely to stock, I would like to be able to boot into CWM and flash a custom rom directly. After reading a bit I learned I could just flash the kernel and that should allow me to at least ADB into recovery.

This will allow users to quickly flash the kernel (SiyahKernel v2.6.12) using Odin in order to flash a working rom or nandroid.
Instructions
Download Kernel.tar and Odin (extract Odin)
Open Odin
Put your phone in download mode (pull battery, plug in usb cable, hold VOL+Up and VOL+Down while re-inserting the battery).
Ensure the phone is showing up in one of the COM ports
Click "PDA" and search for the kernel.tar file
One the file has been selected, click "Start"

If this flashed properly, you should reboot to recovery... if not you can enter in ADB while the Samsung logo is up:

Yeah. Its odd. It doesn't always happen but it happened enough for me to take notice of it. I love that Odin and download mode make our phones really hard to brick but it seems kind of glitchy and buggy at times.

Ok a buddy of mine last night started rooting my phone using the (How to Root AT&T Galaxy Note SGH-i717! [ICS][Gingerbread][Easiest Method]) he made it through the first part of puting the cwm on it. then when he tried to connect the phone via usb, to transfer superuser, the compter would not recognize my phone. so he could not go anyfurther do to the time we had left. so i tried to go home and finish up on the computer, since i figured the hard part was over. Now my computer does not recognize it either. ive tried re-downloading the drivers and downloading kies. and still nothing.
so my question is, can i finish rooting with out a computer and if not, what can i do?

I've assumed you followed direction got a rooted kernel using odin then install superuser, from that then use odin again to flash cwm.
Are you in download mode on your Note?
"1. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.
2. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready."
IF not working, recommend starting from scratch
Use this first to get back to stock

Try using a different cable or different USB port our maybe even a different computer and see if you can have a different setup recognize your phone. In the man time, read the tutorials at the top of the general section to get up to speed if your friend is not there to help anymore.

I don't think he has super user so he might not be able to delete it. If he can't connect at all and odin doesn't recognise then he ia in a tight spot. If you can get into cwm by holding the power button and vol up and down, try wiping everything factory cache div. Cache then fix permissions. If that and the drivers being ddownloaded did not work i sure hope you have an att warranty or have only had the fone for 30 days. If you take it back to the retailer and act like its stock they will never know or care. Try to get a guy who is an iphone fanboy if you get and android wiz you could be out of luck

this is the rason why u dont let friends do this kind of thing for u!! it is something u must learn..u may have bugs here and there and if u have no clue how to fix it ur %[email protected] so i would say undo all that he did then start fresh...use odin 1.85exe go find the att recovery b4 file plug in to odin click pda find where u put the recovery file that u DL put it in the pda box then u should be good to go
Ok ill make this so simple. You need to start over from the top. I would suggest going on YouTube search for how to root the Att galaxy note. Just watch it. Its a good way to learn odin. Then search Att galexy not recovery. This way you have a visual step by step. That's how I did it I watched it then followed along. I read all the comments (if any) in the comment section. Trust me it so much easier that way cuz you can stop and compare screens and such or stop and replay parts that u need.

If you can't access a computer.
I'm writing this because as I understand it, your friend was SUCCESSFUL at getting CWM on and just not root. If your phone is working otherwise, then try this.
With the phone turned OFF
Hold down BOTH volume buttons and turn the phone ON
When you see the Samsung logo appear LET GO of both volume buttons.
If you have CWM installed right you should be at the CWM menu, offering various options, just select REBOOT SYSTEM and post back here and let us know if CWM is in fact installed correctly.
Hi.
I think this is Real Unknow Problem.
i have a SG SII I9100g and it work perfect but i cant go to downloading mode or recovery.

Download mobile odin and try flash another kernel.
When you are attempting the key combination, are you doing with the phone on, or off?
The phone has to be off for them to work. If you do it with the phone on, it will only register the power button hold, and reboot normally.
Also, in what universe would it be considered any kind of brick if the phone works normally? (Never mind that I consider there to be no such thing as a "soft" brick)

He said to use Mobile ODIN, mobile ODIN is phone version of ODIN for desktop.
Install it and use it to flash Siyah kernel (.tar), It will automatically reboot device into its own flashing kernel. Once it flashes Siyah you can then try again to reboot into recovery or download.
[EDIT] Ok just re-read and you was on stock kernel so I'm assuming you're not rooted. In thsi case you need to try and do a direct soft-reboot into recovery. Download a rebootiong program off the Pplay store like "Hot Reboot". In this app you will have a option to reboot in recovery or download modes.
REMEMBER NOT TO DO ANY SORT OF WIPE IN STOCK RECOVERY OR YOU WILL BRICK DEVICE AND NEED NEW MOTHERBOARD.

You need to do a search for that. I'm not going to retype what many guides have been made for. You may find a better guide in the Samsung galaxy S4 forums. You will need the drivers and Odin provided on one of those guide threads, plus the newest 4.4.2 factory image for your region.

Okay i see what you mean..when you go into recovery or download mode your phone tries to update automatically by itself..hmm..i will have to look in to this further as i have no solution at this time for this problem..i never had this happen to me on any of the samsung phones i owned..but i will take a look into it.

Thanks, i wold be grateful because i don't know how to proceed...if you do the procedure to unbrick the samsung (but i think that isn't a good idea because the bootloader isn't compromised) or of trying to find the right moment with odin to recognize the phone
If you truly can't get into download mode at all, you may need a jig to force it
You can try this search:

But if its forcing update mode then the jog may just do the same thing...never heard of not being able to get to download mode due to the system attempting to continue to run update

The screen was broken but was replaced, after some days is relased the upgrade of stock rom, i did it but during the download the phone has rebooted and not turn on....i was told by service center that should be changed the logic board.....possible that there is no way to recover it?

Thats not what is being said. If your screen is not OEM there will be a problem with the system update.

If like you said the lcd screen has been replaced and if the screen is not a original samsung screen (OEM) then this could be the problem as the other members have mentioned..as the new kitkat update came out it does not support thrid party drivers for the lcd screen anymore..only original drivers signed by samsung are being used now and any lcd screen that is not original will not work anymore..until a solution is found to fix this.
Were did you buy your screen from..which seller.?
