both the download mode and recovery mode button combinations are not working
3 days back i sent the device to a local repair store and he says there's something wrong with the boot files(a clue?)

So you flashed CWM true Odin when in the download mode.

But now you can't enter download mode?

What CMW did you try to flash?

These are no details. Where is that guide? In what section of Odin did you put it. What options did you select in Odin etc etc etc.
