Hi, a longggg time ago I decided I will just stay on cyangonmod and I will flash the updates without twrp. Twrp was taking up a lot of space and with a 16gb model I thought it would not matter. I unfortunately forgot and now my tablet is in a boot loop trying to turn on into recovery. I have tried everything to get it into download but no luck. Is there any other thing I can try?

Thank you very much

What phone is it? What happens if you plug into computer and holding down relevant buttons for the download mode etc?

It is a Tab Pro 8.4 so I can not take out the battery. When I connect it to my computer it does not do anything as far as I can tell. Odin will not recognize it
 
TWRP replaced stock recovery (and took no user storage that you could have used at the rom/user level).

I hope I'm mistaken, very mistaken, but I think that download mode is a recovery function - and without recovery, and no way for Odin to recognize it, you're now in possession of a paperweight.

Hope I'm wrong. :(
 
If that fails you could try buying a 'USB Jig' to attempt to force it into download mode (they're very cheap), nor sure if it has to be a Samsung specific one

What exactly did you do to "remove" TWRP? Knowing what you did would clarify the state of the device, which may - or may not - give us some options.
