[Q] galaxy note i717 upgrade firmware issue message help

---

I am new here so I dont know if this is the right section. I have a galaxy note i717 that was originally for at&t but it is unlocked. I tried to install clockworkmod using odin 1.85 with a tutorial I found online. Now when I turn it on it says Firmware upgrade encountered a issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. I tried going into download mode by pressing the volume down and power button and then pressing volume up at the screen but I just get the same message. When I turn it on I feel a little vibration though so I dont think it is hard bricked but I dont know too much about this so please help. What I did is this.

enabled usb debugging and then rebooted the phone into download mode
connected it to odin 1.85 and selected pda, opened cwm-i717.tar.md5 and disabled auto restart and the other thing that was important to disable
clicked start, it said complete so I unplugged it and took out the battery and rebooted
and then I got this screen

after I did some research I downloaded a official tar.md5 for it that was like 700mb or somthing and tried to flash that
i couldn't go into download mode but i just connected it at the error screen, it showed up in odin and I said start, again making sure the right things were disabled, it said it flashed it fine and it passed. When I rebooted I got the exact same message as before.

please help, I have tried everything I could think of and I have been searching the internet for several hours and still havn't found anything. This is my first ever post on any forum so I'm sorry if it is in the wrong place. Thanks
