No Download Mode? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I go the SM-N006 version of the Note 3, but whenever I try to go into download mode, it flashes "factory mode" then shows something in Chinese. Tried to go into recovery, but it shows the the broken android. Any help? See the attached picture for the "download mode".

That bezel looks very thick to be a genuine GN3. Mine's not white, but it doesn't have that sort of pattern on it either. Sure it's not a clone?

boot loops at recovery???

So I have done some searching but nothing I've tried help or not the same issue.
I was trying to root everything seemed to go fine. Phone reboots and now all it does is goes to a screen with blue letter at the top left that says recovery and then reboots. I've tried to power button home button volume key combo same thing happens. Phone keeps looping, so I pull the battery. As soon as I put it back in it starts looping again, even without me trying to turn it on.
Am I screwed? I have tried adb but it cant find the device, I assume because it keeps rebooting. Does Samsung have something like the HTC RUU or would that not matter because of the boot loop?
Any help would be great!
Thanks

I have tried that but I cannot get into download mode or recovery. It just hits the black screen with blue text and reboots.

If you cannot get into download or recovery mode by using the
Home+VolumeDown+PowerButton or Home+VolumeUP+PowerButton
then you will need to purchase a "USB JIG" from an online store or from
eBay, it's very inexpensive $5.00 or less shipped.
You plug it into the USB port of the phone after the phone is fully
powered down. After doing that it takes less than 3 seconds for
the phone to go into "download mode" automatically.
Once its in download mode and you unplug the jig you can Odin
flash the official stock firmware/rom and have a fresh start.
I have been using a JIG for years on many models of Samsung Android
phones and it works GREAT! It even worked perfectly on a friends HTC.
Good luck!

Camera not found occasionally connected

Hi my nexus 4 has this problem, the camera does not connect but sometimes connects and works for a few minutes or only once when used.
Normal it worked before but switch to CM13 and install some device drivers soon I started to give this issue
Return to the ROM Chroma and was the same with any camera
I returned to the stock 5.1.1 but still the same
¿Could you help me?
I would suggest see what happens after you run your device in the safe mode. If your camera works well in the safe mode then your drivers/apps are at a fault and all it needs is a factory restore. If not, something is definitely wrong with it. Steps to access the safe mod:
Press & hold the Power button.
In the box that opens, touch & hold Power off.
You'll see a “Reboot to safe mode” box. Tap OK.
Your device will start in safe mode. You'll see the words "Safe mode" in a box at the bottom.

Note 20 Download Mode

Hello,
Maybe someone can help as it looks like Samsung has changed download mode on the Note 20. I tried following the instruction for the S20 and go into recovery mode, followed by selecting reboot to bootloader, but I am greeted with a screen that does not look like the normal Samsung download mode. Has anyone had any success in getting into it as I would like to flash the TMB image on my unlocked model.
Thanks!
Same boat as you...the screen almost looks to be the bootloader screen from a pixel phone. Something has definitely changed...FYI to get out of that screen make sure it says Start at the top then hold down the power and vol down button. That should reboot to recovery where you can just hit restart system.

Exactly, looks like something out of a Pixel phone, but ya Power + Volume down will reboot back to recovery where you can restart. But for the life of me cannot find Download Mode.
Try the Power/Vol Up. That'll take you to Recovery, then scroll down to "Reboot to Bootloader"

That is what I have done, and I can get into recovery, but once you select "Reboot to Bootloader" your taken to a screen that looks more like a Pixel bootloader and not Download Mode.
Power off. Connect USB to computer. Hold volume up and down at same time connect phone

Maybe if ADB is activated in dev options you can "adb reboot bootloader" while it is turned on.
Check 1st by "adb devices" if it's recognised by PC.
i cant turn on phone, it is stuck on verizon logo and cant boot up after factory reset
