This is all thanks to the awesome threads on this website.. No credit of programming will be claimed by me.
*warning* this can be done only if you have a device that forces the samsung galaxy s g or gt i9000 to go in to download mode.
Ok so here is the story, when the samsung galaxy S froyo beta was out I kind of editted the regedit of samsung to be able to install it...
What I didn't know and wasn't noticed by anyone as I've surfed down google to the 200th pages... was that after the reg edit update the Volume down + home button + off switch combination falls of and will not work anymore.
So I waited untill it was out officially in the Netherlands (eindhoven)
What I did was the folowing:
I went to vodafone and they tried to update it. with the force device (big blue box with 12 buttons on it with the buttons 2 and 6 were clicked down).
When they tried to update the phone went off and it lost it's complete firmware. aka PHONE - ! - COMPUTER.. I went home and searched of the web and found here that there was a kind off update.zip. (when I find it I will edit this post and upload it) I downloaded the file and extracted the contents on a SD card. I went back to vodafone and let them force the phone in to download mode again. after that odin instantly recognized and updated the phone to Android 2.2 Froyo update for Galaxy S.
So here are the simple steps.
1. Don't panic.
2. Surf this forum for the update.zip if I still haven't uploaded it. and mainly search for the tag: black screen of death. or phone + ! + computer.
When you have the file. follow step 3.
3. Extract the contents of the update.zip file to the removable SD card of your phone with another device note like root:Sd/update/(files) but like root:sd/(files) the files must be directly available to the phone without having to be searching in to another folder. and plug the sd-card back in the phone.
4. If you have such blue device to force in to download mode then just use odin and update phone. if not, then go to the nearest and trustworthy phone store and make them force it into the download mode... and follow the rest of the steps.
5. step 5 is the most attention worthy part there is: Either bring your own laptop with the correct odin and the correct files and USB cable for when it's in download mode to update it. or either give it to the person behind the counter and let him update it.
6. When froyo is installed give it time to run and scan all it needs to do, otherwise it will lagg and only frustrate you.
7. after couple of minutes froyo is ready for use. after this.look for a reliable lagg fixer because froyo laggs the same way the mind of your mother-in-law does when you're trying to talk sense in to her mind...
If I'm correct after these steps you should be able to use your phone again and have froyo installed and working.
If this hasn't worked, then I advice to either repeat these steps (hence the bring your own laptop) or let the phone-store guy do his thing and force the install. REMEMBER these people usually give up after 1 or 2 try's but it's your phone and they don't care.. so just stand firm and say, I would like you to give it another try..and if he refuses. you can just tell him you won't leave untill he has done it over and over untill it's done or let you self try it and crawl behind the counter.
ALL CREDITS GO TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE WRITTEN THE PROGRAMS AND GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMBINE THE STEPS AND FIX THIS.
But hey if you think the credits belong to me since I wrote this guide. then by all means
I can't access the recovery mode, but I can access the download mode. I also used the Kies registry hack to upgrade to 2.2.
Which update.zip file you are talking about? There are a million different ones!
I do not have an external SD card. Is it still possible to fix the phone? No offense but your solution doesn't really offer a solution at all. It only tells us to go somewhere else to get it fixed!
What is the correct Odin, what are the correct files? PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC, update.zip? Links?
Solved: stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode
So you are stuck on the dreaded " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen and there is nothing you can do to get your phone to start normally or even get to the download screen?
Fret not lads & ladies, I've already gone thru the pain and suffering and have come out new man, and I'll tell you how I did it. Also im starting all the way at linux/mac so everyones included.
First things first, you are going to have to get your computer ready with the right software for it to work.
You will need to make sure you get an original stock rom, make sure your source forwhere you download it is credible, this was my first mistake and why evidently I got myself into this mess.
I'm sure other roms might work that are modified for your device, but I suggest stock, and starting fresh just to make sure everything is up and running.
I am not responsible for your device, it may get bricked if done wrong.
Linux & Mac users first.
1. You will need to downloadable a program called Hiemdall, its a program similar to Odin3 (windows program).
2. You will need to extract the stock rom you downloaded earlier, I suggest to a folder in your desktop, wd will call it "folder1".
3. Now open up Hiemdall in root, (sudo Hiemdall-frontend for terminal) and then make sure device is on and stuck on the " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen, plug it in, then press the utilities tab and detect. ($ Heimdall detect)(terminal users). Make sure you do all this fast because the tablets are kinda funny when they stay connected.
4. Now clickthe Utilities tab then the "save as..." button and save the destination for the .pit file in the same location as the extracted stock rom folder (folder1).
5. Next click the Flash tab, and click browse and locate your .pit file, the one you just downloaded. Next click add under Partition (files), and then change the partion name (On the left hand under patition details) to recovery and browse to the extracted folder (folder1) and click and add the recovery.img and press start.
Now if all went well your tablet will have restarted itself and you have seen the logo (Samsung). but the chances are it wont load past that screen, but thats ok because now you can get your device into download mode and re-flash the whole rom. Do this the same way you did the recovery.img, but make sure you add each new one to the correct name in the partitions details section.
Now if this didnt work, then dont worry you can still join the windows crew and do it hat way. Simple download a program called virtualbox and get a windows xp iso, thats up to you to figure out as I deal with open source only O.S
So aftr you do that just load up the virtualbox with windows xp and follow below. I found it a bit easier as well.
Windows users....
I found this way to be pretty simple and straight forward,
1. Download Odin 1.3 (1.85 wasn't working for me)
2. Download the clockworkrecoveryMod
3. Open up Odin and browse in the PDA section for the CWM you downloaded and add it, next plug in your device and the box should turn yellow on the top left.
4. Press start and let it finish and reboot your device and you should now be able to boot into CWM and re flash a rom, or if you were smart just restore from a previous backup and get all the apps and stuff back too.
I dont know why cwm worked but it did so no complaints, just make sure you go into cwm and backup your device and with titanium (google play app) before you start playing with the root.
I did this and it worked for me, so hopefully it did for you. Im sorry if it didnt but dont get down, j6st be patient and ask and someone will help.
The key is getting the recovery.img to flash on I believe and maybe the cwm has it built in the package, im sure someone can shed some light on it.

If you can reach to the CWM recovery mode: Download firmware in zip form, you can get it from the below link. if you have a zip file leave it.
After obtaining the firmware copy to your external sdcard using a card reader or any other method
In recovery mode select "Instal zip from sdcard" then select "choose zip from external sdcard" then select the copied firmware zip file from the list and wait for completion
After completion go back and select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" reboot . it will take some time for reboot atleat 15min. it worked for me. hope it will work for you. good luck

Hi! Do you still having the CWM and Odin 1.3?
Hi.. I was experiencing this problem. Then without even thinking deeply, I try google any solution regarding this matter without referring to this thread first. I found this guys solution as he said it is for all samsung model.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfgq6bYfKLg
After done flashing, my tab giving a samsung logo and went off until now. I was unable to enter the recovery and download mode. I try to connect the tab with PC but it kept reconnecting repetitively although universal samsung usb driver has been installed. Any idea how to solve this?

Charge up the battery in your Karbonn ST-8_version2, Power Off and remove the charger cable.
Insert the microSD card into your tablet
Get into Recovery mode( Power+volume down ) .
In the recovery you can move with the Volume down button, you can select with Power or Volume up

Wait for the update to finish
Select reboot system now
This is a tried and tested method and has worked for everyone till now.

Lag-free Tweak
Install SetCPU app
Download the file Setcpu.txt from here
Paste it into the root of your SD Card
Open SetCPU, first change the governor from "conservative" to "performance2"(This is the most important thing)
Click on options button(three dots) and then click Device Selection
Select Custom Frequencies
Now Set Min frequency to 48 MHz and Max frequency to anything according to your preference(Now you'll have the choice of setting the frequency upto 1.5 GHz)
Note:
When you wan't to conserve more battery lower the Max Frequency(while browsing or listening to music maybe) and when playing HD games up the Max Frequency(Most games will run perfectly with even 1200 MHz)
48MHz of Min frequency will give more battery in in standby mode.
Try not to Clock the CPU above 1.2 GHz for a long time as it could cause heat issues. The governor itself should speedup everything for you.
Low Internal Memory
The fact that our devices have only 1.51 GB of Internal Storage limits the capabilities of our devices. Especially with HD Games.
I recommend using GL2SD for games at the moment.
Get used to using the app, its pretty easy..

Ok guys,This the first and last time I am posting this....
To unbrick ur tab......
1. Post what u did
2. What is wrong with the tablet according to your understanding
If you want to be helped the above two points really matter........
3. See this link
4. All info about unbricking various types of bricks can be found on the thread....
5. Also i would suggest you go through the thread fully and understand every detail
6. Another alternative for you guys would be Karbonn service center, But I feel it is useless as they take minimum 30-45 days to repair things
7. The method i mentioned is the first one,sdcard one
At this moment we have an experimental unbrick package with us thanks to developer @fuser-invent
This package is to be used in the STEP 3 of SOFT BRICK UNBRICK SDCARD method
Step 3
This only works if the first method completed far enough to allow you into the Stock Recovery or if the Alternative Methods worked and you now need to install the correct firmware.
0. Restore your SD card back to normal capacity with the SD Formatter software. This can take a long time, be patient. Choose the following options:
- FORMAT TYPE -> FULL (Overwrite)
- FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT -> ON
1. Get THIS firmware package
2. Download the above zip extract the above zip to the root of an empty sdcard( less than 2gb ). It should look like this all four files should be in the root of the sdcard.
3. Just FYI, the zip folder among those four files is the stock rom ( it has boot.img,bootloder.img,system,recovery.img,aml_logo.img,logo.img )
Also this package is a recovery package for soft bricks....
4. Put the sdcard in your tablet
5. Hold down the Power and Vol - buttons to enter the Stock Recovery
6. Flash your firmware package and reboot the tablet.
7. If it worked, either plug your tablet into the computer and use USB mode or shut down your tablet and remove the SD card, then remove the "u-boot.bin" and "uImage_recovery" files from your SD card.
8. Boot back into recovery and make sure that the firmware package correctly installed the Stock Recovery on your device.
Your tablet is now back to it's original Factory Settings.

7. If you are successful plz report back...........it will help others

As 2012katas said, it's very important to go to the thread he links in #6. Yes, it is a HUGE thread, but it is detailed for a reason. 99% of your questions will be answered in that thread.
For example, the thread clearly says to use the ELF2 rescue image and the USB image tool to prepare your card first, then delete the ELF2 files from it and replace them with the files for your tablet. It also says that if that doesn't work you can try the SD Formatter software with my suggested settings to try and prep your card. I have no idea if the package will work until someone tries it the correct way and reports back.
On another note. If it doesn't work the first time, try to delete the u-boot.bin file only and then try again. Also mentioned in the thread, some people need to press and hold the power and vol- buttons and then when the tablet starts lighting up, start pressing the power button repeatedly, but that is rare.
As for the people with deep bricked tablets (showing the M3/M6 chip), you don't have anything to loose at this point so you best bet is to download the ST10_20121129.zip package, remove the patch.zip and update.zip, put the ST8 v2 firmware package zip I made in that folder, edit the config_progress.xml so the firmware package name is correct and no longer called update.zip, delete the part for the patch.zip, renumber the remaining steps, zip the whole thing back up and load it into the AML USB Burning software.
That might work or it might not work. You have to intelligently experiment because there is no official release for the tablet. Also you will notice that in the unbricking thread I say that if you can get the tablet showing some signs of life after the M3/M6 chip deep brick, you can then move to the SD card method. So if the usb_spl.bin and u-boot-orig.bin for the ST10 work with the ST8 to at least get the tablet out of M3/M6 mode then you could use the SD card method.
Lastly, to 2012katas, I'm rarely on XDA so if you have more questions, I see them more often on DragonDevs. You seem into this Dev stuff and smart, so feel free to get in touch to troubleshoot more.

Hello guys!
Today i am going to show you how to root samsung galaxy A8(mentioned above) install twrp and then lastly install playstore on it without any troubles!
The problems i faced was so much critical and step by step i faced bugs and fixed them accordingly.
so we come to main topic now.
first of all reset your phone. thats because a frash phone is always perfect. btw non resetted phone also works here.
1) Now download the app in the link below called CROM_Service. open it and just wait it will unlock your bootloader.
2) Now u need drivers. download them also in the link and install on your windows 10 pc. Boot your phone in download mode by pressing home+volume down+power button. in chinese font screen press volume up and then connect you phone with pc using a fairly working usb 2.0 cable.
3) Now download CF_ROOT in the link below and and put in your worling folder better name that folder your phone name cause we always work in this folder. extract files in there. Now open Odin in that foler as admin and click AP and load the md5 file in same folder. and click start. this will flash root and restart device with a modified kernal.

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for my problem but I will give it a try. I have a problem with TWRP recovery on sm-a8000 Chinese version.
Every time I try to flash any zips it fails.
Error 70 failed to mount preload (invalid argument ) I can't do factory reset either in . I'm able to root the phone and the phone works normally except for the custom recovery.
I tried to do factory reset in original recovery and it worked.
My aim is to install Google play apps.
Here are some pictures of the recovery result. My internal memory is only 3Mb in the recovery but if I connect the phone to my computer it shows 10Gb free.
Any idea what's going on?
hey,did you hv any rom of that model (sm-A8000)?
