i did try that and it seems like its trying so i dont believe its one of the models that dont have that button combo also some things i forgot to mention is i was using clockwork recovery, and do have the original rom backed up on my external sd and also have back ups of verything titanium will back up if that helps narrow down a solution

Nope, not a brick. You probably have a working button combination, but the recovery simply isn't there. You need to boot into download mode and flash a kernel.

It is captivate with cynogen 7 mod but if you don't know what it is I'm guessing you don't have it (not to be rude) . So just get the regular captivate cwm update.zip .. Hope this answered what you need to know.

Ya, once you flash another rom it will depending on the rom replace the one from rom manger. Do if you want to keep that cwm recovery just copy the "update.zip" file from the root of the sd card. If your not rooted let me know and I will post it for you.

Yah, I'm rooted and everything, but here's my latest issue. If i hit reinstall packages in the samsung recovery thing, i get E: (insert whatever error it is here). And I can't go back to stock with Odin3 because it never reads my phone in download mode on my laptop. Thanks again!
I'm trying to figure out how to upload the zip from my phone, but if you look for "3e recovery" with search you can get fix fit that.

Yah, I've tried that, but it will read my phone when on and will have the yellow 0[COM:4] (5 or something like that) and as soon as I turn off my phone to go into download mode it goes away, saying "removed", and the yellow box disappears and doesn't come back until I reboot into regular phone.
While it is plugged in turn it off and then try adb download
Ithink it is; "adb shell" then "su" then "reboot download"..... Hopefully that should help

Well close odin, then (just to make shore correct on getting to download mode) remove your simcard and battery and external sd card. Next open odin (with phone un plugged) next put in battery and hold down volume keys, and plug in to computer and see if that works, because odin has to be open before you go to download mode

So I was trying to follow the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
But I did NOT have a KF1 Rom. Now I'm stuck in a fugu fish reboot loop. I have tried VOLup and Down + power, I have tried VOL Up+power, I even made a 301k resister jig, all to no avail.
Does anyone have any more suggestions on getting my phone up and running again?
Flash dgs kf1 kernel and your set
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
The fugu is a kernel swap root method.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Oh yeah use Odin to flash the kernel...or you can just flash a stock rom and star over
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Same problem here
I'm having the same issue. The problem is that there is an infinite loop during loading. Either:
1. the att screen to fugu fish, repeat.
2. the "initiating charging" to reboot.
adb wont recognize it and because plugging it in takes it into a new reboot, the hard button combo wont work.
I've tried all of the possible button combos.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the fugu is gonna do that I believe its just for rooting purposes. Pull battery enter download mode flash the correct kernel for your Tom with Odin. Good to go

Yeah, you're right but I couldn't 3-button into download. I jig fixed and now I'm good and loaded cog5.
The only problem I have now (which I had before) is that I cannot boot into recovery mode. It just boots to the at&t screen and then gets brighter.

Load Cog kernal and you will have recovery back.
As popfan said, you need to flash the cognition 5 beta 2 kernel before you flash the final rom.

please people for the love of all that you hold dear. Stop flashing till you know WTH your doing. It is hard to be willing to help others when hundreds of people make the same mistake because they are not reading and and being LAZY by just following a video. I am hard pressed to feel sorry for bricks that come from lack of effort on the users part. With the coming changes you may want to be sure you understand what your doing before you do it.

If you can get into recovery try flashing MyICS beta 1.12.11. On this rom my PC recognized my phone easily. It's a great rom but if you don't like it at least you should be able to use Odin.

Now when i go to command prompt i can get the phone to the download mode easy, but whenever i try to put the phone in to the recovery mode it gets stuck on the white screen with att logo on it.

That's really weird. By flashing corn kernel, you flash a cwm recovery.
Did you try flashing stock kk4 (w/o bootloaders) and see if the recovery worked?

Ok Pajar i did like you said but its still not working. I guess its time for an upgrade.
yesterday i rooted and installed safestrap... tried a few different ROMs but the issue i had was running out of room for my apps.
i wiped the stock rom and rebooted... not it won't go past the Samsung Note3 Custom screen.
i tried to reboot into recovery, and install a ROM from the sd card, but it isn't working, i get a few errors and once it's done, it still won't get past the samsung screen.
Can i fix this? or is it bricked?
Sent from my Apple Galaxy Note 7
This should be in the Q&A thread.
Since you have rom slot I assume you are on JB. You still can access to the recovery so that's a good thing. The rom that you are trying to flash are also JB? How long is it stuck on Samsung splash screen? Worse comes worse you can always use the restore to mj5 to unbrick it. A bit more work but by all means this is fixable and nothing major.
