I used clockwork mod and formatted all of the options including system and etc etc

UnBrickable mod is easier then 3 button fixes or jigs.. Simply remove the battery, replace the battery, plug into USB, then click the "Download Mode" button. After that, use a Heimdall One-Click to flash software. There's no fooling around with timing or trying to get the order correct, or anything... it just goes into download mode every time.
Just thought I'd put that in here. I like UBM, it's great.

I did the same, you found the solution?
I followed the same "idiot" guide of how to flash it into recovery or back to the stock version.
Screen at & t appears and restarts again and again.
I can't enter in the download mode. I tried all the combinations of the 3 buttons and nothing.
You could find a solution? help please..

You have a few options and these options are as much as we can help you here.
1) Keep trying the button combos. It just might work one of these times. If you ever get it into download mode then try to flash it back to stock immediately.
2) Buy a Jig. They are available for cheap and will probably help you out. They force your phone into download mode and will allow you to flash it then.
3) Do the unbrickable mod. This involves sending your phone off for a few days, spending some cash, and having it worked on. It will come back in working order and there are even ways to have the person who worked on it flash a custom rom for you.
These are your options. And honestly, more than telling you the above, I dont think there is much more help we can offer here.
EDIT: Holy hell I just realized this post is from April. I just wasted a few minutes typing all of that. Damn.

yea. Thread resserection

You have to try the software smartflash, with that you will return to the stock rom! Are you sure that you can not get into Recovery? In recovery you enter by pressing the power button and volume -!!

i have this, it keeps going LG. off on LG. off on?
just take out battery. put battery in. while pressing POWER + VOL DOWN.
it will boot into CWM. well should. Only way i got out of it. or i would have rage thrown fone at wall.

I have done that but doesnt help..... I did install smart flash and it says flash successfull but still gets stuck at LG Logo..... This is some weard ****.... plz help

i had another problem ontop of this. (bad baseband and ril) meaning the battery was like charging then saying 98% then saying 3% then no wifi no sdcard(ext) etc. i was like NOOOOOOOOOOO... battery draining super fast. phone heating up. then i emergency try to re flash. (have no access to put files on sd card) re flashed the only zip on the sd card (lucky cm9) which has aroma launcher, enable me to do a FULL WIPE. then once into CM9 (after it freezes on boot screen (animation) for like 2 minutes. furioiusly pressing buttons wondering if batt is going flat, get into menu. hold power force reboot into recovery mode. (sometimes its really annoying to get into recovery cause hold to long reset/reload no recovery. sometimes easier to hold power in boot into recovery via PHONE CM9 loaded.
i figured out it was the kernel was making my baseband read as UNKNOWN even tho it could tell me the version. ha. only fix was to do a full wipe.
the problem you probably have is. NO WAY TO PUT ANY OTHER ROM/STOCK onto SD CARD cause you have no other device with USB MASS STORAGE SD CARD???
if you can do that, then your ok.
if you cant then you need to go into cwm.
do a restore. if you have a backup. if the backup is ext3 and you have used ex4 roms like CM7/9 then the recovery will fail. and you will still be bad...
try doing in CWM recovery (full wipe/reset/cache/dav etc) ? silly question im sure you would have tried everything.
hmm. the only solution is to get another ROM (ext4) unless u can get backtoext3.zip.
you need the files on the SD CARD.. then you should be ok . right?

Try booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache and the other caches maybe?

[Q] I think I've bricked my phone, please help!

I have had my i9305t rooted with CWM since day one, and it has always worked fine. Today I saw there was an AOKP build 5 available for the i9305, and stupidly I tried to flash it, forgetting I needed a specific local version. It didn't even try to install, because CWM recognised it was for the wrong version phone, so I restored the backup file I'd made with CWM. It said there was an MD5 mismatch, but it booted back up fine and I could set up the phone again, however it had reset to base. So I rebooted, got into recovery again, did a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik, tried to restore again... no difference.
Not sure exactly when it happened, but I tried to boot into recovery again and it hung on the 'Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9305T' splash screen. So I turned it off and it booted up into Android again as per normal. In an attempt to fix recovery (at this stage I was considering just reflashing the stock rom), I downloaded CWM off the play store and used the 'Flash CWM recovery' option. It said it succeeded, so I tried booting into recovery again but it hung on the splash screen once again. So I turned it off, tried to boot normally into Android again, but it hung on the splash screen again!
Now it doesn't matter what I do, trying to boot into recovery or Android it gets stuck on that damned splash screen! I tried pulling out the battery and leaving it out for a good ten minutes, plugging it back in and booting it up, but again it gets stuck. If I leave it on the splash screen, there it will stay. It doesn't pulse, it doesn't move, it doesn't reset, it just hangs there indefinitely.
Please help! Is there anything I can do to recover it, or have I just got myself an expensive paperweight?

I've been holding volume up, power and home button to get into recovery, is it a different button combination to get to download mode?

Volume Up is for Recovery Mode... Try same thing with Volume Down and it should enter Download Mode. Connect to PC and flash correct ROM via ODIN.. If this doesn't help try read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915

Derp... forgot it was volume down. Sorry guys, I am relatively new to rooting.
So I managed to get into download mode and successfully flashed the right CWM recovery via Odin. Got into recovery, so I decided to try flashing L335K1's DVALI6 build as I had been about to do before all this happened. It flashed fine and I am now back in full control of my phone! Thank Crom for that... and thank you for helping out a noob XDA!

Does download mode work? You can access it by holding volume down+home+power. Even though you could not access recovery, you should still be able to use download mode + odin and reflash new rom.

i have tried down vol+ home + power and its not working..i ll try now with odin since its my last chance..thanks for your help

Entering download mode could be tricky sometimes if you didn't press (and hold for several seconds) all buttons simultaneously, the phone would just reboot. Also I've read that there could be different button combos on different SGS1 variants (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14391773#post14391773).
Here are some instructions, how to flash using odin, however, i doubt odin could detect your phone without download mode or phone fully booted.

[Q] No Recovery mode and No Download mode.

Hello XDA peeps,
So here is my situation, some days ago (like 3-4 months ago) I installed CM 10.1 on my Captivate. Everything went well and I can even open my phone and use it. But the problem was, after installing that ROM, I no longer can get into recovery mode or download mode. I tried everything possible, the button combo method, button combo and battery pull in method, button combo and USB pull in method and also tried ADB "restart recovery / reboot download" I think, (does not remember because it was 3-4 months ago). Tried everything correctly and stopped trying when I could not get into download mode or recovery mode. The last option I have is a USB jig, but the thing is I don't have it and I will need to buy it from abroad if I want it.
Some more information: When I try to put it in download mode, it gets in a boot loop (I see the AT&T logo and then reboots), the boot loop stops when I leave the buttons. And also when I switch on the phone, it does display the battery charging animation.
And also I've heard some people saying that it might be because I flashed some incompatible kernal or something. (This might be true, because I also don't remember what I did to flash the ROM )
So, I want to fix this now because I want to update my phone to the CyanFox 4.3 ROM which seems very cool . Is there anyway I can fix this recovery mode or download mode on this phone so that I could flash a new ROM to my phone (without the jig if possible)
Thank you lots peeps.

Download and recovery mode aren't affected by ROM flashing. If you can run your phone just fine, then your kernel is fine.
Now my guess is that one of your button isn't working properly, or that you're using the wrong combo. That being said, when you hold the power button (while phone is powered on), you should have an extended menu that gives you the option of booting in recovery or download mode, have you tried those?
As for a jig, you can make one if you don't wanna order one. It's fairly simple and we have a guide in here on how to for just a couple bucks.

Thank you for your reply. Yes I did try that also. But it just does a normal restart. I tried the the ADB "reboot recovery" also. It also didn't help. I even downloaded an app to reboot into recovery, but no help.
And yesterday I got a jig from my friend, it worked on his infuse but did not work on my Captivate. He said that it might be because he is using a 330K resistor. So I ordered a jig from ebay. It will take some time to reach here.
Is there anything else I can try? maybe push a recovery or something using ADB? Sorry if I am being noob here
Once again, thanks for your support.

At this point i would just wait for the jig. And yes, Samsung galaxy jig requires 301k.

Ok, I will wait for the jig and when I get it, I will post the result.
Once again Thank you for your help

Aaaand all of a sudden I was wondering, can this be a bootloader problem? Maybe my bootloader got locked somehow or something?

The best thing is still to wait for the Jig or make one, as BWolf56 suggested.
Once ya have the Jig and If u can get into Download Mode with it, I suggest that u flash the One Click Odin or Heimdall Stock Android 2.3.5 i897uckk4 that includes the Bootloaders. (See the stickied One Click thread in the Dev forum, Post #3). If that is successful, do not flash any Bootloaders again. U can then proceed to flash the KK4 Corn Kernel, the .tar version of the kernel v7.0A, through Odin and then use that CWM Recovery that is baked into that kernel to go on flashin other Roms, etc.
If u cannot get into Download Mode with the Jig, then ur micro usb port of ur phone may be the fault. (But still an app should work from the play store to reboot to download or recovery)...anyway that is all i got for now.
Keep us posted.
