i had req's CM7 beta 2 installed and yesterday just crapped out on me. phone showed the Dload screen twice, then went into the bootloop. i can still enter into CWM (5.0.2.8) and I've wiped all caches and whatnot. I cannot seem to enter into download mode, and usb mounting is not working. ODIN also does not recognize that I've plugged it the phone.

If I can just get it into download mode I should be able to remedy the situation...but I AM STUCK, Y'ALL!

Any assistance would be grapely appeachiated!:pcguru:

Try reflashing a rom
 
Try taking out the battery,hold camera button 60 seconds. Put your usb cable on the phone and then plugging in the other side of the cable in you usb port on the computer While holding the camera button. if it goes into d/l mode then odin should see it, after trying this' if it doesn't
work try this the normal way again after holding the camera button a minit before putting
the battery back in.
open devices on your computer and plug in the cable and wait a few minits to see if it finds the port. don't rush it some drivers need a little longer to read and sort out the ports[60 seconds
max]. oh yea you do have the drivers loaded? ( i know stupid questin}
i have flased phones without the batterys in before, the drivers have alot to do with it.
you can try a jig if it doesn't work its worth the 4 bucks on ebay if to prove its really hard bricked.
the jig just puts a resistor between pins on your usb plug allowing the memory to clear so you can
try reprograming again , after that i'm done.
