Pull the battery, plug the phone into the computer and while holding volume down + power + trackpad insert the battery and you should be in download mode

just to add on yes this may seem like an awkward position but it will work!

take out battery plug into computer open odin insert pit and pda files hold the trackpad and volumedown and put batter in at same time (yes it is an awkward hand position) check auto reboot and re-partition and hit start

Along with the volume down and trackpad do I do the power button also whole putting battery in and just so I understand correctly someone else os going to ha e to put the battery in as im holding the buttons right

no need for the power button and if you have another person you can have them put the battery in but you still need to hold down the buttons its awkward to do yourself so if you have another person put the battery in it would be easier

tried that and it still wont go into download mode and odin doesnt recognize that the phone is there

That black screen is recognized in odin as download mode, just flash from there.

you sure you held down both buttons and put the battery in at the same time its supose to work 100% of the time
