Pretty vague there noob guy.
Provide more information on what mods you have or did and what exactly you're trying to accomplish. Otherwise all you'll be is flame bait for senior members.
dl mode is usually volume down + power or both up/down volume + insert usb
VUp + VDn + Power with no USB cable inserted will put you into recovery mode

As stated above, wrong combinations.
Not to mention you don't put unlock codes in recovery. Not really sure what it is you think you are going to accomplish.

Volume up + volume down + power. Are u tying to sin unlock?

Love everyone who gives him the wrong advice then drops the newb line, irony, anyway here are the two modes you can get into at boot, all start with the phone off
Volup + voldown + pwr during phone boot, release after the first startup screen = download mode for odin
Volup + voldown + pwr during phone boot, wait till boot screen flashes, at the second time you see the boot screen then release = recovery, assuming your firmware has it installed
Fyi the boot screen is the first thing you see when the phone turns on, not to be confused with the boot animation, hope it helps, its a pain when your looking for advice and people just make fun of your for not knowing and give incorrect instructions, kind of defeats the purpose of these forums as a place to learn about your phone from others

This will put the I777 into recovery mode, not download mode.

This will also put the I777 into recovery mode, regardless of firmware. All firmware distributions have recovery. Stock firmware has 3e recovery.
It would be best if you get your facts straight before you post.

[Q] Booting into CWM

I can't seem to be able to boot into CWM. I can get to it by Rom Manager, but when I hold VOL UP and press Power it justs boots up. Same with holding Vol up AND down and pressing power. Am I doing something wrong here?
I rooted using this method:

That works, but what if I flash a bad rom, how can I access the recovery?
VolUp + VolDn should work - always works for me.
Specifically:
Hold VolUp + VolDn
Hold Power until the screen turns out
Let go of Power, keep holding VolUp + VolDn until CWM appear

I'm an idiot, I released power too soon everytime, now I get it, thank you all for your patience!
I simply hold both volume buttons along with power until I see the boot log screen appear. Once I see that, I let go of all buttons and I'll get right into CWM.

vibrant bricked?

i have a vibrant that now shows vibrant screen then cyanogen screen then some files running and then agfain the same process.
i am afraid . it was a new phone how to recover i was flashing the ics passion.
and when i keep pressing thr volume less and power key it just flashes vibrant on screen.
Bootloop!!!!!
Directly from the NB's ICS OP
NOTE: If you get in boot loop during first install, DONT panic.
Remove battery. Hold Vol Down + Home + Power Key. You will enter new recovery mode. Flash the ROM again.
Some users (having Froyo Bootloader) need to press Vol Up Key instead of Home Key to get in Recovery.

should i press the keys after removing and putting the battery again?
Try a few combos. You ultimately want to get back into recovery mode to reflash.
what are the comboos please help me '
Combos to get into recovery:
1. Gingerbread Boot loader: Vol Down + Home + Power Key (That's what neo's OP says) or Volume Down + Power Button (Elsewhere I've heard that combo, so try both. Can't test myself because I have Froyo Boot loader and running MIUI)
2. Froyo Boot loader: Both Volume Keys + Power Button
Ultimately you can enter download mode and use Odin to flash to stock. You can enter download mode using Power+Vol.Up

or as soon as the loop shuts off screen and is about to start again ( black screen followed by vibrant) quickly press up and down volume and hook usb cable up...( you can be already pressing up and down) works like a charm for me....have fallen into that boot loop thing once to many times....but theres always time for once more lol...

not sure if i will be of any help or you already figured it out. but what once worked for me is to press power as soon as you see sony logo right away let go and hold volume up only. but quick like. than continue to hold volume up. if not try volume down same direction. i think the button changes if your rooted.

Thanks for reply. When should I do that combination? While the phone is off or while is stuck on this screen? How long should I hold power key? Just for a second or until something happens?

Same thing, it got booted up in Android but this time it says "Safe mode" in the bottom left corner (can't remember if it said that last time).
Power off ur phone before following the above key combination and wait until the screen turns back on.
Don't understand you, but I think you should go to download mode and reinstall TWRP.
