So ODIN recognises my phone (Kies doesn't), but I can't seem to flash anything. I got stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered error" message. I'm just trying to use Konane's method of getting back to stock but my ODIN only shows "Initialization" then sits and does nothing else.
Please help me out here - I'd rather not have to take my phone to AT&T...
This is the method I was following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
Spoke too soon - it's my bum-a$$ computer at the house that didn't recognise my phone every time I connected via USB. Love XDA!

So sad. Just bought this phone. I tried to upgrade to ICS via but used the Galaxy S firmware (gti9000) by mistake...turns out ICS isn't out yet for my phone, the SPHD710. While flashing I managed to upload the "modem" file but when it was writing the file (it says "wait 2 minutes for write") odin froze.
and now..
Here's the situation. The phone will boot into the gti9000 firmware (i.e I get to home screen--so I think I'm semi-bricked), but WiFi won't work and the phone crashes a lot. Basically like a "safe-mode". Here are the conditions I'm dealing with
1) Windows 7 will not recognize phone when plugged in. It charges but does not show up in device manger
2) Odin does not recognize the phone at all. It was recognized for a split second on my laptop when I was installing/reinstalling drivers. Can't replicate this.
So basically I'm stuck. I tried going into recovery mode and applying update from SDcard (to revert to stock) but i the SD card won't mount
Anybody help??? PLEASE. I don't want a $500 paperweight.
I can give as many details as you like.
Thanks so much!
After trying to flash a kernel onto my Canadian S6 (SM-G920W8, Android 5.1.1), it failed in Odin. I closed Odin, so i do not have the error message unfortunately, and my phone is stuck in 'An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.' I tried going back into download mode, however the screen simply turns black before coming back to the same error screen. Also tried connecting to it via both Kies 3 and smart switch, however my device was not recognized by either of the programs. My PC is also giving me the error message 'The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.' I tried to launch Odin to flash the stock firmware onto the device. Odin recognizes the phone as connected, but the attempt failed to work once i tried to flash it and there is an almost filled progress bar on my phone underneath the error message. If anyone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated, as this phone is crucial in my daily life.

Ok. So I was attempting to unroot my phone earlier, so I downloaded a stock firmware and used odin to put it on my phone (don't know the technical term). When is was going through all of the things in odin, it said it failed and said 'Complete(Write) operation failed'. I then tried to download a stock firmware from another site, and the same error popped up. I kept retrying and sooner or later I realised that my phone was saying that there was an error updating and I need to use emergency recovery thing in smart switch. I tried this, and neither smart switch, or Kies recognised my device. I then tried to use odin to flash this TWRP thing I have from something I did a while ago. This worked somewhat as I can now access this thing call team win recovery project. I can also enter download mode. Does anyone know how to help me?
Thanks

I tried to flash with Odin and it failed when it was at the point of "NAND write". i was stuck at the download screen. after turning of the phone i got the Message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery moder in Kies & try again." Kies cant connect to the phone so i cant do anything there. Odin is still recognizing my phone but now i dont know what i can and should do?

What's your computer's O/S and what version of Kies do you have?
Yesterday evening, after downloading the official firmware from sammobile.com, installing the samsung driver, activating OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging mode, I started to flash the firmware with the latest version Odin. It gave md5 error while loading the AP file on Odin. When I searched on the net, it was said to just delete the md5 extension of this file and try again. So I did that and the firmware started to load normally. When the green line was near the end, it stayed there for about 10 minutes. I was in a hurry too. I disconnected the phone from the PC so I could reinstall it at home.
But the phone gave the warning "An erorr has occured while updating the device software". Neither download nor recovery mode was available.
Smart Switch did not see the phone. When I tried to reinstall with Odin, the green line under the Odin USERDATA text got stuck towards the end, although there was no line or movement on the phone. No movement for 15-20 minutes. What should I do and what is the outcome of this situation? I would appreciate it if experienced, expert people share information. Thank you in advance. I am waiting.
still waiting..
