Two download modes in S4 i9500 ?



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/show....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?
