I know that this is a long-standing question, but I will answer. Perhaps this will help someone with a similar problem.
If you see the word "Firmware upgrade issue" on the screen, then the tablet is already in Download Mode and you do not need to do anything extra to call the Download Mode. You just need to connect it with a cable to the computer where Odin is already running and Odin recognizes the tablet. After that you can download the desired ROM to your tablet.
Thanks

[Q] How to change stock firmware (Galaxy Tab 3 Kids)

Hi fellows,
A friend of mine just came back from US with a Galaxy Tab 3 Kids wondering if portuguese language will appear on the device when he lands on Rio. This surely didn´t happened.
He is pissed off with Best Buy guys that told him this bull****.
I´m trying to help him since his little boy doesn´t speak english.
Is it OK to pick the brazilian stock firmware (ZTO) that I´ve found here (http://samsung-updates.com/details/16066/Galaxy_Tab_3_Kids/SM-T2105/ZTO/T2105UBAMK1.html) and using ODIN to flash on a US device?
If someone could tell me the necessary steps, I´ll be very thankfull.
All best,

The way is simple, you must flash the Firmware with Odin
( i have modified the instruction from gr8nole thread Recovery and root ) hit thanks by gr8nole http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
the way are the same
1. Download ODIN and USB drivers on your computer (just do a google search to find it...version 3.07 will work fine). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).
7. Select "PDA" then choose the Firmware file you want to flash, but the file must be an *.tar or *.tar.md5.
8. Hit "START"
9. Wait for device to restart.

Soft bricked Tab S 10.5

I have recently rooted and installed Blisspop rom to my Tab S. I decided to revert back to the stock rom. I download the rom for the UK and applied via Odin. Download completed and the tab rebooted. The tab is now stuck with the Samsung logo. I can reboot in Odin recovery. I have tried to download openrecovery-twrp tar expecting to see and use TWRP when going into recovery but I don't. Help!

Thanks but I do not have wipe data/factory reset to choose. All I have is the Odin mode screen. downloading do not turn off target.
In this case, you must first find and then download the correct official stock firmware for your tablet via KIES:
1. Updating to the latest version of KIES program in your PC
2. Run KIES
3. Connect your Tab with Download mode to PC with KIES.
4. KIES Menu Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation -> Model name (your Model name Tab. For example SM-T800 or SM-T805) -> OK -> S / N (Serial Number of your Tab from sticker on original box Samsung or sticker on back cover of the Tab) -> OK -> OK -> OK
5. Turn on your Tab in the Download Mode ( press at the same time and hold for approximately 4 seconds the buttons Home, Power and Volume - and then press button Volume +)
6. Next step by step according to the instructions KIES
Please have patience! It can demand good Internet connection and can take some hours.

Look up your stock rom on sammobile and download your regions rom. Flash the stock rom and try it again. I had this problem as well and i was able to resolve it by flashing stock and retrying.

[SM-P600] Hard bricked - firmware flash failed

I bought this device recently. Unfortunately it seems now that it's hard bricked. I've got the Hyperdrive rom installed and it used to work perfect. The problem started when the battery ran out while I were streaming live TV. Since then it wouldn't boot properly. It was stuck in bootloop, however I were still able to get it into recovery and download mode. I tried to recover from a backup through TWRP but did not succeed properly (the screen just froze after a couple of minutes). Afterwards it was really hard to make it do anything. It started to boot into something called "SDCARD MODE", with options to press the volume up key for normal reboot, and volume down for "download mode". But neither option worked.
I managed to get it into download mode and tried to reflash the original firmware for my device (P600ZHUCNH1) with Odin but it failed. When I rebooted the device the display showed the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I tried to flash the same firmware again with Odin but it failed again.
And since then I haven't managed to turn on the device. Holding Home button + Volume Up + Power or Volume Down + Power doesn't work. Battery is fully charged. Tried to reinstall battery. Tried a USB Jig. But no luck.
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks in advance!
@MikkelJakobsen
You have a solution to resolve that problem off yours.
Those 3rd screen image, tell that you need to use the Kies Software to restore your tablet to his own factory firmware.
Just follow this steps:
1. turn off your tablet, and go into "Download Mode"
2. start Kies3 Software in Windows, and go to the menu Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation
3. Write the Model number off your tablet -> SM-P600
4. Then write the Serial Number (that on the backcover off the tablet).
5. Confirm all ok.
Then it starts to download the original firware files from the Samsung Servers. And it will flash the firmware.
And that's it. You should have after the tablet running smooth and 100% again!!!!
Best regards!

Thanks for your help! However, the problem is that I can't even turn on the tablet anymore. The screen just stays black no matter what I do. So I don't see the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" anymore and theremore Kies doesn't recognize any connected device.
Try do take off the back cover from the tablet, disconnect all the flex cables.
Remove the 13 screws from the batery holder, and then disconnect the battery cable's power.
Wait a few seconds, and then place all the parts on the tablet again.
And try to turn on the table again.
See if this helps.
