There is no choice for download mode. Just boot loader recovery

Go to download mode then Connect to computer
ok, there is no choice for download mode. there is bootloader and recovery but I cannot make choices in recovery without a volume key. Is there another way? Does it help to go to bootloader mode? Remember no vol key to move around

I really appreciate your helkp

Hmmm. I can't think of a way to manipulate menu movement without an operating vol button... I'll look around...

I found another quickboot app that got me to downloader. Odin worked but now I get custom lock display even though back to stock. I guess I'm screwed warranty wise?

had to go to asurian. purchased phone oct 8 2013. verizon said warranty expired. i don't know if warranty would have covered volume key anyway but if it did 3 weeks cost me a hundred bucks deductible. anyway asurian claims i get a brand new note 3 not a refurb so its not all bad. now i need to figure out if i can root the new phone. im sure it will. come updated to kitkat

thanks so much for help and patience. i was in fully fledged panic mode mixed with feeling terrible about breaking my phone in the first place

sorry for being ot. i need to calm down

No issues with towelroot for me. As long as the update was before June 3rd ur fine. I think that's the date. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Towelroot should still work. You may get really lucky and if they have no refurbished or new ones they will send u a note 4. A friend of mine had the happened to him. Lucky s.o.b
