Thanks for the pic
I can't quite read the text, but that sure doesn't look like recovery
This is really boggling my mind.....
A: Can't get into recovery.
B: Can't get into download mode (only factory mode).
C: Can't get past the lockscreen etc as indicated in your first post.
What does that text say?

Select Boot mode:
[Volume_Up to Select. Volume_Down is Ok]
[Recovery Mode]
[Fastboot Mode]
[Normal Boot]

[Recovery Mode]

This is really weird MikeI'm not sure what to offer him
I don't really know either, only thing I done with the i8552 I got was to root it, using Framaroot, but that was two years ago, done nothing since with it, it's in the draw as a spare phone now.
Dead Android on it's back with "!" symbol in recovery is usually when there's a failed update or firmware flash.
**sigh**
@Ahad Waheed , I'm totally out of ideas here.
There could be some hope with adb, but not really sure about that. I've dabbled a little bit with adb, but not in a case such as this.
I think you need to either be booted into the system to use adb, or booted into the recovery to use adb...
I'd ask you to choose the "fastboot" option, but I have no clue where that would take you on a Samsung

any way in which i could enable my wifi to use my google account.
Not without getting into the device to activate it.

ah, ok.
Without getting into the device, (even at the lockscreen) I think adb would be useless if you do not have usb debugging checked.
Ugh...

should i wait for it to erase or will this continue forever?
Hmm. Good?
Really? I think that's progress eh?
I'm really tired and it's my bed time, so I'll check back in tomorrow and hope for the best

Im new to forum and not sure if this will help but when I was researching one click methods to root my devices I found SRS One click root. It has some interesting tools and although it couldn't root my phone I kept it on my pc and used it to reboot my phone when I soft bricked it( got stuck in the Verizon red screen of death). It has some options dealing with gesture lock, maybe same thing as pattern.

It requires USB debugging to be enabled?

Download SRS One click root from their web sight,google it. There is another called SRS- One click, not them. Open program and on left is ADB tool button. Click on it and other selections pop up on right of screen dealing with screen locks. I used the Reboot option to get out of my situation when nothing else worked.
