Maybe your phone is not totally off before you do 3 buttons. Try to remove and reinsert battery to ensure it is totally off then repeat the procedure. Hope this helps.

@kopitalk - Well you don't require to be off for using the 3 buttons combo for recovery. Anytime press the combo in any screen and keep them pressed till the time the Samsung GT N7000 logo comes up and leave all of them then. it will boot in recovery.
But since its not happening here with nowy57 so the best bet will be remove battery (as suggested by kopitalk). Leave for 2-3 mins and then insert and then try going to recovery mode!!

Use a jig to see if it helps

Does your all three button works separately? I mean it is not defective when you using as routine use?
just check it.

I think, your bootloader is corrupted, which won't replace with 'PDA'.
Read this if it can help

Personally i don't have experience of it, this is just my speculation. Use it with caution N better after discussion with OP of that post.

is there an another option?
i'm pretty sure there is a way of forcing download mode, and then flashing a ROM using Odin.. not sure how though.. try googling it or asking around on forums.
Although, if you dropped your phone, and now its not working, there's a possibility of physical damage, and then you'l have to get it fixed.
The good news is that if you cant force download mode or recovery mode, and you cant turn the phone on, your dealer won't be able to tell what you were doing without forcing a flash or replacing hardware, so you're safe anyway.
But yeah, try forcing a flash using a bootloader.
EDIT: oh yeah, check this out. seems pretty scary, but hey, what the hell do you have to lose??

I have had this problem already. You need to force download mode by pressing three buttons and then with Odin reinstall the version you use to have you can find everything on this forum if you search a little. Success!

One boot into download mode .
Install a stock rom pit 512 and repartition checked via ODIN .
No download mode buy recovery jig .

i have dropped it and it wass like 30% complete with flashing now when i wanna press the 3 buttons it just starts normaly
Stupid reply but: Tried pulling the battery out?
Anyways:
No download mode means buying/borrowing a jig.
Or you could try the hair dryer method but thats a bit risky.
If you cant to any of those you'll have to send it to Samsung. Just say you were updating to 2.2.1 with KIES and then when the update was finished, your phone wouldnt start.
If it fails starting in download mode remove the battery put it back and try again. If the telephone can boot to the galaxy screen. It can boot in download mode. It was tricky when i had the problem and it took me 2 hours until i manage to have it. In my telephone the trick was press menu first then on and volume down..

Note CAPTIVATE NOT SAMSUNG GALAXY S
Its a different system for download mode on a different phone .
Method remove battery replace hold down volume DOWN button and HOME button Now hold down POWER button .
When phone boots to splash screen let go of home and volume down followed by power button .
not work means you need the download mode recovery jig from the front pages .

Remove battery and put it back after 10-20 secs. then hold power + volume down + Home for long (30 secs). just give a try.
Can you see charging symbol while charging??

1. prepare odin for flashing
2. connect your usb cable
3. insert the battery into your phone while pressing power + home + vol down
4. itll get into download mode
5. click start...
6. wait.............
7. enjoy
i suggest you flash mush69 rom
i used these settings in odin while my phine was hard bricked while flashing mush69
the .ops file as ops
apboot file as boot
modem file for phone
code file for pda
and csc file for csc
dont forget to hit the thanks button
Same here ...
It happened the same to me like 4 month ago... the phone didnt respond at all, rom manager fried my motherboard, so i send it to ASC but i told them that the phone just one day it tuned off and and never work again, after wait for 1 week they change it to me for a new one for free xD
Unfortunately if rom manager fried your motherboard too... it's the only solution.
this is what u get for not reading posts before doing somehing as dangerous as using rom manager anyway send it to service center tell them Kies crashed while updating XD

People could not border to read and understand. End up brick their phone. Last thing, could not see thanks button and hit it.

But when that happends kies gives u a code, then u connect it again and u can do an emergency rescue or something like that :S
Then let's consider power failure and PC turn-off
Like someone already said just send it to samsung service and with an inocent face say "I dont know what happened, it just never turned back on " and they cant find out the real reason it bricked so they will fix it

[Q] Safe Mode on ICS ? How to enter ?

Hey I entered into a SAFE MODE where all the applications were gone.
This happened to me after a sudden reboot by the system.
Please throw light on how to enter this mode and how it works !!!
I don't think there is such a mode, unless... your /data/ is somehow gone?
There was such a mode on GB, and probably still is on ICS.
Dr.Ketan said you could enter the safe mode by either frequently tapping the menu button or keeping it pressed (can't remember which now) while your Note is booting.

Thanks Vijai but I could not make it work.
I also read in other forums about pressing power and the menu key.
May be I need to know through a step by step process.
Anyone else successful with this ??

Not sure but i think you bricked your device... Sorry i cant help you
Pres " Home + Power " and keep pressing both for a few seconds untill you you enter Recovery Mode ,
Or " Vol up + Home + Power " to enter download Mode ..
if both ways did not work .. so you have to go to Custom Cares.
good luck.

When you put your phone on charger, is the battery icon appears or not?
If it doesn't appear, you don't have a chance of recovery it.
Try buying USB jig and flash stock via Odin. That's how I unbricked my Mini 2
