Problem with my S4 GT-i9500 (Stuck in boot mode, bricked)

Hello.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500. I tried to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat using Odin but I messed up in the process of doing so. Now my phone won’t turn on at all unless plugged into the PC via USB cable. When I plug it in, my PC doesn’t recognize it and an error message with a caution sign flashes on the screen. When I try to go into boot mode (holding the Power button + volume down + home) the menu shows up, but when I try to enter the boot mode it doesn’t respond. The only way I can get into the boot mode is when I remove the battery and immediately press the down volume.
Does anyone know what I can do here? Thank you.

Hi,
Do you mean Download Mode?
Could you try to enter Download Mode with battery removed and flash again your firmware with ODIN? Let me know.

Yeah sorry, I meant download mode.
I've tried that method before but to no avail. My phone is currently at the repair shop, hopefully the pros can find a solution to it.
Thanks for the reply

Just wondering:
If it's YOUR phone, you must know the password, won't you?
You only want to know this, and learn the procedure, when it's a stolen phone!

Is this your phone? How have you come to be in this situation?
Awaiting your response.

As the poster above stated if it was his phone he'd know the password.

Can you elaborate what you mean by locked?
When you try to go into recovery mode what does it do?
Are you pushing the right combination of keys with the device off hold volume up + home and power till it boots up and I believe there will be blue writing in the top. Then let go and it will boot into recovery.
For download mode hold volume down + home and power

Unplug usb from the phone.
Press the power and volume up and volume down and home buttons at the same
time.
As soon as you feel vibration let go of the volume down button while pressing
the volume up, power and home button until you see the samsung logo, then
let go of all the buttons and it should boot into recovery mode.
If it does not boot to recovery mode after doing the above steps 3-4 times
you will need to press volume down and power button until the phone
goes into "download mode".
Once in download mode you will need to re-flash the stock samsung
firmware again.
But this time make sure you flash the correct official version and model#
for your phone's model.
Good luck, have a great day!

Recovery and Download mode

Hi all
I am not able to boot into recovery mode or download mode. I am fully aware of 3 button combinations to boot into recovery or download. Has anything changed? How do I get into download mode?
The other thing is whenever I restart my device after unlocking the device it say device is restarting for 2 seconds. Is that normal?
S10+ Exynos model unlocked
Edit: The phone not booting into recovery is solved but still I cannot get into download mode directly. I have to go to into recovery then boot to bootloader.

Just a question how did you unlock the phone?

Phone is factory unlocked. By unlocking I mean unlocking the device after a restart(inserting a pin)
Maybe restoring data from Samsung cloud leads to this problem. I had the similar issue on my older galaxy device

To get into Download mode on the S10s - do the same thing we had to do on the Note 9.
Make sure ODIN is Open on your PC and the Phone is off and not plugged into USB Cord yet.
then hold power, vol down and bixby and while holding those three buttons, plug in USB Cord to phone - it will boot into download mode - press vol up and you are ready to use Odin.
If you want to go to recovery - with phone on- press down vol down, bixby and power until screen goes black - keep holding power and bixby and move the other finger to volume up - hold until it boots into Recovery
Hope that helps -
