Please help!!! - Captivate General

I was trying to root my phone using the guide over at androidforums and when I tried to go into recovery mode, I get a screen that says Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!!
Please tell me I didn't brick my phone. What is this? Please help!

just hold Power, and both volume buttons for awhile.
You are in download mode. And no you did not brick your phone.

This is how you update your phone. Are you able to get the phone into recovery mode or is it just stuck in that screen? Turn off your phone and back on and see if it's stuck at the screen.
If it is stuck I am sure you would be able to update the firmware on it or return to the Captivate stock ROM.
You can use Odin3 to flash a new firmware if need be.

Thank you so much. I was terrified to even touch the phone. I am very new to Android as you can see. Thank you again.

I turned it off then back on and was able to get into recovery mode. Thanks for your help. I am not sure what I did to get to the downloading screen. Thanks again!

You get the download mode by holding down the volume down button and then powering on the phone. To get to the recover mode you need to hold down the volume down button then the volume up button then the power button.
Glad your phone is working! Flash on!

Cant enter download mode

I was in the middle of flashing a kernal when my computer froze up on me. My phone now has 3 little icons (what looks to be a flipphone, a yellow triangle with an ! in the middle, and a computer). I had this happen to me with my captivate a while back and i remember it being a simple but different button combination than normal to get into download mode. Is anyone aware of how I can get there? Please help!

im aware of this method as this is how I usually do it, but that combination is working. Thats the problem
That Phone-!-PC screen is a form of download mode. Flash the kernel again in this mode. If the program hangs or doesn't recognize the phone, reset or restart the program (Odin or Heimdall), shut the phone off, and put it back in this mode. Then try again.

This happened to me a while back too after a one-click heimdall suddenly stopped ..
I managed to get out of the phone-!-pc screen by using this one-click unbrick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252
after that you should be able to get into download mode in the usual way and go back to stock
