Default [Q] Did I Brick My Phone? Please Help

I booted my phone into recovery mode with ClockworkMod Recovery, and when I got to the screen with all of the options, every option resulted in a blank black screen. Now I can't even reboot my phone. I have tried taking out the battery and retrying multiple times, but it just keeps coming back... Is there any way to fix this?

Do a search for odin. You'll be able to revert to a stock (unrooted) state. From there, you can start anew.

Good luck!

I thought this might be an option, will try it... However, if i'm not mistaken, odin requires you to boot the phone into the download mode (holding 1 and power button), but i am unable to do this. As soon as I put the battery in, it goes to the Clockwork screen.

Make sure you use the camera button to select an option in clockworkmod. If you press the home button I believe the screen turns black.

Hummm. is the battery the sole power source? (i.e., not charging or usb'd up)
