Quite strange to see something unusual with my i9500.
When I enter download mode by pressing vol down+home+power and hit vol up i get this screen -[attachment: download-mode-1.jpg]
lets call it download mode 1
when i connect it to pc and flash via odin (twrp.tar.md5 or stockrom.tar.md5) flashing starts and odin shows the green pass message but after reboot i find my phone in its original state!! Nothing was actually flashed, the phone remained untouched!!!
When i enter download mode by adb command "adb reboot download' I get this screen -[attachment: download-mode-2.jpg]
lets call it download mode 2
the same odin shows green pass after flashing the same files and after reboot i actually see my phone in its new state. Everything flashes successfully.
i tried doing this by using different odin versions (odin 3.07, 3.10, 3,10.7) but i got the same result. Then i tried doing it afer rooting, again the same result . It seems that i9500 has two download modes. I am not the only person who experienced this, check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293366
Also, in download mode 1, there is a line in blue colour "Secure Download: Enabled" . However the line disappeared after flashing cm12.1 through philz recovery
Does anyone has an explanation for this? Does i9500 really has two download modes or am i misintertpreting things?
S4 users please check this with your phone, i want to know if every s4 has similar issue. Because in future if i brick this phone i wont be able to recover it by flashing stock rom in download mode (by hardware buttons) via odin. This phone doesnt let me flash anything by odin when i enter download mode using key combinations

The flashing of the recovery is fixed by unchecking auto reboot in Odin. Probably same with the rom you are trying.
Regarding the different download mode. Some users reported similar cases. I think some fixed it by pulling the battery out, pressing the power button + volume down or up and then putting the battery back in. That way they could flash in download mode.
i will try this and post back.
what about the "secure download: enabled" line in download mode? i didnt see this line in other sammy devices

i have problem with SGS i9000 i go to in recovery mode cwm i upgarde it without wipe it
with this rom (I9000_Alpha_HTC_Sense_v0.5)
now my sgs not go in 2e recovery with 3(volume up+home+power)it is not woring yet
main screen (galaxy GT-i9000) appear but it just restart when boot in 3 or 5 sec and usb plugin not long::: in 3sec only after that disconnet
now im not have in sgs software (rom) and 3button not working and not have 2e recovery and CWM all just only have boot screen (galaxy GT-i9000) 3secnd restart sgs
ithink it understand my problem
plz quickly solve my problem
Go to download mode (volume down+home+power) and flash any stock rom with repartition checked. your phone should be okey
Remove battery and try again.
Can you get into download mode ??
If so flash a stock rom with pit 512 and repartitioning checked via Odin .
The rom you installed is Alpha that means not ready for Beta full of bugs use only if you know what you are doing .
ROM does not work is what the post says where it says must read .
jje
i do all
i use odin
i remove battery
im not have (software now ,2e recovery and 3button v up+home+power not working to go in recovery mode)
but my sgs when i connect it with pc usb plugin 3sec and restart
If you have any other ROM zip on your SD card then just flash speedmod kernel with odin to get CWM recovery back (see my signature for link)
If you don't have any other rom zip to update with CWM recovery then you will need to flash a stock rom with odin.
i try with odin but useless
if you have program anther odin give me plz
may be try the reset button, which in the middle of the cam and speaker, search in forum for details

You may be better off paying a service centre to fix as you seem incapable of following instructions .

I tried using the 3buttons (volume up+home+power)it is not responding
I can not inter to recovery mode or download moded
always my sgs restart in 5sec when i run sgs
recovery mode does not respond
I think it's somehow deleted of the device
warning, I didn't try #2 before, but may save you if you don't have JIG

I thought it would be a great idea to try flashing from to Froyo from Eclair anyway, and while it was going on, my pc disconnected the phone and bricked it COMPLETELY... I pulled the bat, tried all the 3 button combos (they worked before I flashed, I tested to make sure), and nothing worked...
I spent hours looking through the forums and the only advice I saw was to try a jig, before reading that for a 100% bricked phone it would not work...
What to do
- Take of the back case of your SGS, inbetween the camera and the speaker, you will see a little circular hole...
- Take a pin/pen and poke it...
- Hold the hole pressed in and press the 3 button combo for download/recovery mode
It should go into download mode and from there you can flash on a fresh firmware!
I saw NO mention of this hard reset's existence anywhere on the website at all, it worked perfectly for me!

unless you mess with your bootloader (in this case you didn't) you must be able to go into download mode and flash a fresh odin rom with pit 512 and repartition enabled
I found an update on kies so i looked around and saw that i had to unroot and un lagfix(oclf) so i did that and started the update, an error stopped the phone from backing up so i carried on without a backup because i dont have anything thats very important on my phone. The update file downloaded and i got to the point where you have to unplug the phone and then plug it back in. I did that and when it turned back on it reached the galaxy s screen then went black and now it just vibrates every couple of minutes.
i already tried taking out battery, sim card, sd card
any ideas?
Sounds like you need Odin.
whats odin?
How does it work?
Factory reset first .
# Also firmware Kies emergency firmware recover .
Or Samsung service centre .
Failure at boot is usually wrong firmware or lagfix on .
ODIN is an alternative unofficial method of installing firmware on your phone .
jje
how can i factorz reset without being able to boot up
how can i use odin to flash samsung firmware back onto my phone
try using the 3 button combo method entering recovery mode by switching your phone off, press up+home+power key for a couple of seconds then it will enter recovery mode, try making a factory reset there, then reboot your phone, try if it will work, if it still doesn't work, then go to the development section and read how to flash a new firmware via odin then.
ive tried the three button combo several times but it just keeps on trying to boot, i think its one of the galaxy s phones that has it disabled
any other way to enter recovery mode
Can you get into download mode ??
Power + Vol Down + Home .
If so read this POST 2 .

Have you tried reading the link JJEgan gave you? (FAQ)
It had a lot of answers.
3-Button-Combo: Buttons must be pressed untill the screen lights up.
Then release all the buttons.

The method in the thread I posted uses adb (via computer) to force your phone into download mode which you then flash a bootloader with working 3br which will then let you into download/recovery indefinitely, it worked for me.
Or you could make/buy a jig- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Just to clear out this is not the problem to get into Recovery or Download Mode.
3-Button-Combo: Starting from a powered off phone, buttons must be pressed untill the screen lights up.
Then release all the buttons.

I just plugged the phone into the computer ran adb download.bat and phone was instantly put into download mode and recognised by odin.
If you are not confident or it's not working make/buy yourself a jig, this will put your phone into download mode and you can then flash whatever you wish through odin.
i live in switzerland and wouldnt know where to buy or how to make a download jig
i think im just gonna take it back to the store to get it replaced

Boot into Odin/Download mode to install recovery...
Google for that, but for starter, power off your phone completely then hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN button at the same time, you'll be prompted for pressing the VOLUME UP button to continue, press VOL UP. You'll get kicked into ODIN/DOWNLOAD mode, there you can use ODIN to flash custom recoveries.

I tried this but every time I use a stock recovery it fails for some reason.
Would this method work?
http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unroot-and-unbrick-the-samsung-galaxy-s4/
You need to make sure you are using the correct stock tar file. If you were on 4.3 than you can only odin MJA or MK2 any older stock tars will fail. Download the latest from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.
try unchecking reboot and reset time in odin. I have had issues with this in the past.
One click odin..
HI there i been messing with that 1 click odin i havent get it 2 work but "cruise350" is right you need to download the right STOCK
because every time it does the same thing to me i just restore it to original STOCK or FIRMWARE with ODIN3
good luck...

Also make sure you are running Odin as administrator.
My Note 3 - LTE (SM-N9005) screen got stuck after trying to flash the ROM through ODIN. I was on 4.3 and tried to update my phone to KK 4.4. Every time the phone turns ON, it shows the same screen and I can't use it.
I am unable to go to Recovery mode by pressing (Vol UP+Home+Power) buttons but able to go to Downloading mode by pressing (Vol Down+Home+Power).
Can someone here please help me resolve this issue?

Just remove the battery and put it back again and fire it up
edit:
you need to reflash with stock firmware again, check if it the correct firmware to your device before download and flash it

So I was installing a lollipop rom via Odin and my T530NU has become bricked. After two days of trying every version of Odin possible and attempting to flash various firmwares, no success. I am able to get into recovery mode but cannot get into download mode. In recovery mode, you can install an update via sd card, but I cannot find a file for that, if that would even fix the problem. But fast forward to current time, if you boot the device like normal, it is stuck on the samsung logo with red text at the top left that says 'Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and below that in yellow "Set warranty bit : kernel." If I press the volume keys, the appropriate volume sound is made, but oddly, pressing the home key and the power key prompts the tablet to talk as if I have turned on assistive touch in the accessibility menu. Please help.

You can try MOBILE ODIN (if there is a version for your tab).
it's a variety of the classic odin but 4 device, created by the most great God that Android have may seen: Mr Chainfire.
Without him, the modding on android there were a dream.
Whit mobile odin you can flash an official firmware by recovery.
But only if there is a version for your tablet, i don't know.
It there will be the last chance.
