Stay away from rom manager and the kf 2.3.3 leaks. Both are bad news. Put your phone into download mode and Odin one of the 2.3.5 leaks.

yeah but i think i just mess up i went back to odin 1.70 now it install an orgin gb rom but when i did that i left the re-partition box check did i mess up tyhat was suppose to be uncheck right

now i have gb installed 2.3.3 i have no network now, lol what do i have to do lol

That's what version of ODIN I'm using, too. It almost sounds like you were on a voodoo enabled file system and didn't disable voodoo before flashing a non-voodoo ROM. I had a similar problem & had issues.
If you were going from Froyo to GB, I would suggest installing KG4 ((http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413) as I *think* it was the first GB ROM to come with the proper boot loaders. After that, you should be able to flash other GB ROMs.
Try getting into download mode by removing the battery, plugging the USB cable in, holding down both VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time, then put the battery back in. That should get you there.

ok i cant go back in download mode it keep going back to battery charging is there any other way and im not rooted anymore

Yeah, download the Android development kit from Android.com. Make sure your phone is on & plugged in via USB & that you have the USB drivers installed. Once installed, open a command prompt & CD to the "platform-tools" directory where the dev kit indtalled. then type "adb reboot download" & the phone should reboot into download mode.
As I recall, download mode via the vol up & down gets fixed once you have the GB boot loaders installed.

Not sure. What you may want to do is a "Factory data reset". Go into the phone settings, Privacy, & hit factory data reset. Keep in mind, though, that you will lose your text messages, phone contacts, and other settings for the phone (like display settings, etc). If your phone contacts are synched with T-Mobile then they should come back onto the phone all on their own once it syncs.
I had to do that a few times to get my phone acting right after flashing a new ROM.
Also, go into Settings, About Phone, and see what the Firmware Version, Baseband Version, Kernel Version, & Build Number say & let us know.

[Q] Stuck at recovery mode.

I recently got a 4g in replacement for free for my vibrant from tmobile, so I hacked it as soon as I could get the chance, I was running a GB rom and it wasn't running as smooth as I liked so I attempted to go back to stock via hemdall, couldn't get it to work since I never used it before, I tried reading the forum but I just couldn't figure it out, so I tried to odin, my phone freaked out and for about 30 minutes just was a black screen, I was able to get to recovery mode after l several attempts..I am now in recovery and only have to option to reboot, re install, delete all user data, delete all cache, I have tried every trick in the forum to get to download mode, everything I do just goes straight back to recovery, I tried to rename a stock rom to update.zip and flash that through the re install packages and it says signature verification failed..What the heck do I do to get my phone either to odin, and if I do what do I do after odin, I thought I knew but apparently not, secondly if I can get to odin what is my best bet on fixing it? Thanks all who shall help!

There are tons of threads in the Dev section about getting back to stock. With way... you need to get into download mode.

Go to www.android.com, download the software development kit (SDK), install it, only install the 'tools' when it prompts you for what to install.
Once that is done open a command prompt, cd to the "platform-tools" directory where the SDK installed, and issue this command:
adb reboot download

I'm sure you've tried this, but I have to ask - what happens when you use the options you have in recovery mode?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

It just goes back to recovery..

When you tried using adb to reboot it into download mode, did your computer actually recognize the phone? If so, does ODIN see the phone when you plug it in?

Ok, so ODIN sees it. That's a plus I think. When ODIN sees the phone, what exactly does it show in the "Message" window in the bottom left?
I'm just wondering if it's able to actually flash anything. If it can, we can probably get you fixed.

setup connection

Hmm, I know you said you tried everything, but just to verify, have you removed the battery, held vol up & down, plugged in USB then put the battery back in while still holding the vol keys down?
What about the 1-click Heimdal method? I think that's listed in the dev section.

Yes been trying that Im here it says all threads complete but phone doesnt reboot to pull battery its just on the downloading screen still
4) Load up Odin, and load the KC1 files, DON'T TOUCH ANY OTHER OPTIONS, leave them like they are even if Odin changes them!
- 4a) PIT: Sgs4g.pit
- 4b) PDA: pda.tar.md5
5) Flash and let the phone reboot. Once you see the T-Mo startup screen (the pink one), OR the CWM (red text) screen do a battery pull.

Try pulling the battery after Odin is done and see if it boots up.
Edit: oh and unplug it from the PC when its booting up

To get to download mode, you have to hold vol. up + vol. down + power, you left out the power button in your process, otherwise your good to go.

Yes your right... It is strange! And I dont see any other way to get into download mode... I dont see may post where a person cant get to it but I cannot get download mode on my phone for some odd reason.

I've got the same problem, I've tried several different cables, computers, really frustrating

OK- you are getting good help here and I apologize for my incorrect earlier post as I was too preoccupied.
Andros11's instructions for download mode are correct. Kies, has been known to cause issues. As long as you have the phone drivers on your computer, you should uninstall Kies. You can get the drivers again if need be on Bigjoe's ISET.
I pull battery, connect usb then hold vol +/- and insert battery, do not let go of the 2 volume buttons until you see the download screen menu, at which time you will choose volume up.That is it- you should be in download mode. If you are wanting to use Heimdall, bring it up on your computer- there will be a box that after a few seconds will say connected- hit flash and wait for process to finish, about 10-15 seconds. You should be back to stock at that point. If you wish to go back to a custom ROM from there, you need to flash Entropy's Daily Driver. This is the Heimdall package I use and the daily driver is in post 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081 - thanks and credit to qkster and Entropy512
Good luck !
EDIT: Here is a video that may help - in it, they check the flash bootloader box, I would not suggest that the first time, only do this if you get a "rainbow" effect when in recovery mode, and then use great caution as a mis-flash of bootloaders will brick the phone.

Anyhow, I'm not sure why OP phone is not going into DL mode. It should.
DOWNLOAD MODE
Maybe USB connector on phone is dirty. Possible need a different data cord. Maybe try a different battery.
Use a jig if you have one.
However, since you mentioned, Pony. OP's solution would be to flash a cwm-gb kernel like zen or entropy - or flash zen tool kit and flash one of the gb kernel. Power off. Reboot and flash gb kernel again. This may break cmw 6.xxx or 5.xxx recovery loop. Then wipe and start over.

[Q] Bricked... hard or soft?

I have an SGS4g
I had Team Whiskeys Bionix Frost updated for/with voodoo and it worked fine for quite some time... I foolheartedly decided it was time for something new...
I followed the instructions perfectly for WhiteHawkx Valhalla when I was at the restart boot-loader section my phone turned into rainbow crack,
but the rom loaded and my phone worked I was however unable to get into recovery from this point forward.
I decided that not being able to get into recovery was unacceptable so I decided to use Odin to load up the old tried an true jump off point the deodexed KD1 I keep with Odin in a folder on my PC for just such an occasion, after attempting this my phone didn't restart on it's own like it was supposed to... (I should have known to stop right there while I was still in DL mode.)
When I restarted my phone manually my phone stopped showing the rainbow crack and showed the normal splash screen (I was foolishly optimistic) my phone is now stuck at the t mobile splash screen and I haven't been able to get it back into DL mode...
Please tell me there is something I can do other than shop for a new phone.

I have tried all of the alternate methods except ADB mode which I don't think i can because the phone wont go past the galaxy S 4g exclusively from t mobile splash screen.
if there is a trick for the ADB method please let me know cause if something is going to work at this point i think that's it.

Well there is hope, your phone is still turning on.
You could see if abd recognizes your phone if you have it. (usually the first things I do is make sure debugging is on when I change things over)
If you know someone with a jig that would be the easiest way but it is 1am.

Your are pulling the battery when doing this right? I assume you are, but you didn't list it as one of your steps.

I have an SGS4g
I had Team Whiskeys Bionix Frost updated for/with voodoo and it worked fine for quite some time... I foolheartedly decided it was time for something new...
I followed the instructions perfectly for WhiteHawkx Valhalla when I was at the restart boot-loader section my phone turned into rainbow crack,
but the rom loaded and my phone worked I was however unable to get into recovery from this point forward.
I decided that not being able to get into recovery was unacceptable so I decided to use Odin to load up the old tried an true jump off point the deodexed KD1 I keep with Odin in a folder on my PC for just such an occasion, after attempting this my phone didn't restart on it's own like it was supposed to... (I should have known to stop right there while I was still in DL mode.)
When I restarted my phone manually my phone stopped showing the rainbow crack and showed the normal splash screen (I was foolishly optimistic) my phone is now stuck at the t mobile splash screen and I haven't been able to get it back into DL mode...
Please tell me there is something I can do other than shop for a new phone.

I'm sure you read that part but there it is again. From the OP. So if you can figure out how to one click without DL mode we would all love to here about it.

Not the topic, but JIG in "tinydeal . com" costs just 1.17 dollars with free shipping. Cheaper never found.
