Was checking out the factory reset using power on/volume up/menu button and when prompted to press up to continue or press down meant to press down and instead pressed up which threw up the downloading screen do not turn off.
It has been running for over an hour and no change and want to know if it is really down loading or stuck.
Tablet is WIFI version and had KITKAT 4.4.2 on it.

What are my options at this point?
Wait out the download if working?
Power off and restart?
I have plugged in the charger so it does not run out of power while waiting.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Just hold down Power button until tablet restart and thats only way to get out of download mode.

I had exactly the same problem.

It begun when I found the tablet trying to restart, but being stuck on the "SAMSUNG" banner.

Then I tried to reset it, but instead of the two icons, it went directly into ODIN Mode. If I try to restart it (holding the power button), the all begins again!

Dunno what to do now.

Might try procedure below to see if you can get into "safe mode" and bypass what ever is ruining your day...

"Press and hold the Power button until the first Samsung logo appears (Splash screen) , then release. When the second Samsung logo screen appears, press and hold the Volume down button. Continue to hold the Volume Down button until Safe mode appears in the lower left corner of the screen."

Maybe it will clear what ever is causing problem at boot...

I have the same problem. Holding the Power button to force reboot only brings the screen that says Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and it does not power off. Holding Power and Volume Down to get to Recovery Menu brings up a warning screen about installing custom OS and choice of Volume Up= continue or Volume Down =Cancel (restart phone). Volume Down does NOT restart , just takes back to the previous Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 screen. Volume Up takes yo to the next screen that says it is downloading. But it never says what it is downloading and just sits there.Attachment 231072

Did this ever get fixed and if so how. My tablet just did the same thing this morning.

Try to hold down the power button until the tablet turns off.
If you cannot turn off, remove the back cover and disconnect and reconnect your battery. To eliminate the problem of a stuck Volume button, turn the tablet on without the back cover.
