Cant enter recovery mode, need help!

Hey guys, ive spent about 6 hours searching google, watching videos on youtube and i still can't access the recovery mode on my t595 vibrant. I tried the 3 button mode, but that makes the vibrant logo loop indefinitely until i release a button.
I tried the volume up and down, and power button but it does nothing, it just boots straight into the tmobile phone, please help as i really need to install that lag fix with root. Hope someone can help as its driving me nutz. Thanks
Btw im on android 2.1, and did that kies j6 thing.
If you have ADB setup
adb reboot recovery
should work.

[q] someone pleease heeelp!! I beg you!

kay, so i thought this thing for captive (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9612185&posted=1#post9612185) was for Tmobile Samsung Vibrant, and i just followed these instructions, and now my phone is useless. I cant put it into recovery or download mode, all it does is show the AT&T symbol. and after 5 seconds, the phone seems to reboot automatically showing the at&t symbol again. IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX IT,. PLEASE SOMEONE HEELP ME!!!
So what exactly have you done to try and fix it?

Pull out the battery and put it back in a few seconds, keeping the machine cloesed and do it again(up+down+usb)!
if not working, try to connect your phone to computer and then use adb tools to put it into recovery mod, although you can't launch to system, adb is still functioning!

Im having the same problem right now. I have successfully got the phone into download mode using the method in this thread.

However Im still stuck on odin freezing before complete flash. Good luck with your fix
Try ODIN 1.7
Open ODIN on your PC
Take everything out of your phone..battery, sim, external sdcard
Plug the usb into your PC
Hold down both volume keys with one hand
Plug the USB into your phone...still holding the volume keys
Put the battery in
See if that gets you to Download Mode..
I do get problems with the tick in repartition sometimes so before you hit start in ODIN, try it unchecked first.

If you are running window's 7 on your PC then you need to right-click on Odin and run as administrator. This happened to me once. I had double clicked odin to start it and it hung halfway through the update. Once I ran it as admin. it worked fine. Hope this helps.

We need a lot more info. What did you flash, how did you flash it. Where did you get the firmware. I ask the last question because according to your profile, you just created this account today. Which tells me you got the firmware elsewhere.

How did you try to enter the Recovery mode?
What key combination?

To boot into recovery you want to release the buttons by the second Samsung logo pop-up. And don't plug into computer. That's for download mode.
Regardless, I don't see recovery being much help to you if Odin is not working for you.
Is odin showing that its successfully flashing your phone? After flashing back to stock with Odin, is the siyah logo at least gone?

Yes, but you need to describe everything you did and everything that happened to make you want to flash back to stock. Without knowing what caused the problem in the first place, we can't help you very much. You say you installed many roms (stock, custom). Your phone probably did not fail randomly. There is probably some event or circumstance you can think of, or change you made, just before it failed. Please be specific.

Hold the Vol+/- & PWR button at the same time, when seeing first boot, keep holding all 3, when past 2nd boot screen, release all 3.
There's no PC involved.

So i try to put in recovery mode and i hold volume upvolume down+power and in the second boot when i see the samsung logo i release and nothing happend. and i see only the samsung galax logo bla bla.. when i turn on the phone normally i can see the samsung logo then de siyah kernel and stack there. if i wait some minutes its restart and do it again.
