Hard Bricked Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 Tablet:Unable to boot to Download Mode

Hello
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 Tablet.
Im unable to boot to download mode and go to screen with the green android to access Odin.
I press and hold the power and volume up button at the same time and its warns me to press the Volume Up button in the warning screen but after I press the volume up button, it boots to the Samsung Logo rather than the green android screen for Download Mode.
I believe the tablet hard bricked because it won't boot to the home screen.
I purchased a usb jig for my S4, S5 cell phones but unable to usb jig the GT-N8013 tablet because the charging port is a lot bigger than the usb jig for S4 cell phones.
I would know what have to or purchase in order to access download mode to restore the tablet to stock using Odin.
If the tablet is not able to restore to stock using Odin, what other methods are there?
Please let me know all the solutions to this problem. Thanks.

I'm just asking, I thought pressing power and volume down button together, then volume up button goes to download mode(odin).While pressing power and volume up together goes to recovery.By the way the volume down button is near the power button.

I pressed both buttons (volume up and volume down) with the power button but the green android is still not showing up. All it's doing is going to the Samsung logo and then Samsung logo just sits there.

Don't press both the volume button at the same. Press power and volume down(the one beside the power button) together ,then when the screen goes with a Warning!! (were it ask you to select volume up: continue or volume down: cancel(restart phone) ).Press the volume up button( the one far away from the power button.You're tablet now goes to download mode. Is that the step you do?

Ok mate ! I was trying to post out that you might be doing it wrong on pressing the combinations of buttons. Cause the way you write your post(no offense mate). Sorry mate maybe my English is poor I think I just misunderstood your posts. I'm just trying to help.Anyway goodluck mate hope you fix your tablet.
P.s. I don't work on any large corporations, but I fix my own gadgets as long as there are available resources.

I think I bricked my Samsung Galaxy SMJ337UZKAX, please help?

I tried to flash TWRP on my Samsung Galaxy SMJ337UZKAX using Odin and Odin showed pass. After the flashing, I hold the Volume +, power and home button and then the screen turned blank black. Is this a soft brick? Is there a way to recover from this? Right now the only way to turn the phone on and show something is by holding Volume -, power and home button which leads to the warning screen. I couldn't find the manufacturer firmware for this phone unfortunately. Where should I look for it besides the Samsung website?

Booting into Recovery

I raised this in another thread but think more people will see it here.
I have just received Android 11 on my N9860 (BRI and Snapdragon) and want to get into recovery to clear the cache. For the life of me, I cannot do it. I am using my AKG headphones plugged in to the USB port. I press and hold the volume up button then hold the power button. When are you supposed to release either of them? I have tried keeping hold of both, or releasing the power button at the first logo screen and all other options I can think of. After maybe 10 or 15 seconds there is a strong vibration and it then goes on to start normally, although it seems to start in flight mode for some reason and Nova is no longer my default launcher. What the h**l am I doing wrong? Google tells me some people with Android 11 and Snapdragon, the old method, without plugging into the USB, still works. Not for me.
I was just able to get to recovery using the below instructions on my Note 20 Ultra.
To boot into recovery mode, start by turning off your Galaxy Note 20. Once completely off, hold the volume up button and the power button until the Samsung logo appears. Let go of both buttons, and after a few seconds, a black screen with yellow and blue writing will appear.

Thanks but that wasn't working for me. I've just got it to work but for me I had to connect the phone to my computer before doing the buttons. Connecting my AKG earphones did not work. Maybe there's something wrong with them but they work as earphones so I don't know. I hope this may help someone else.

How To Guide Safe Mode for Galaxy Z Flip 3

It seems the safe mode instructions from various sites are a little inconsistent. Since the common thing to do is take what worked on a phone four years ago and assume it works for any Samsung, a lot of bad advice gets circulated. To make things easier, here are the two working methods for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3.
From the home screen or powered device:
If the side key is configured to power, press and hold it until the power options appear.
If Bixby is the side key, replace holding the side key with the side key + volume down.
Tap and hold the power off menu button until you are prompted with a safe mode option.
From a powered off or boot looping device:
Make sure the device is powered off (charging is ok, as long as it is not currently trying to boot)
Hold the side key and continue to hold it until SAMSUNG appears and the device vibrates.
Immediately release the side key and begin holding volume down until the device is booted.
If Safe Mode was successfully booted, a translucent "Safe Mode' is shown in the bottom left.
Great! Thanks! Able to...
