So I rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, then tried installing CyanogenMod, but it kept failing. I read somewhere that reflashing the original kernel via Odin could help, so I tried that, but it failed. So I restarted Odin, tried again and it got stuck at "SetupConnection". Eventually I just restarted the phone, but that was a terrible idea, as now I can only see a screen saying a ROM installation went wrong, and to use Kies to fix it. BUT I can still get into download mode, but Odin is still doing the same thing.
Anyone know what's going on?
Probably might have to return to stock with Odin. Maybe just try flashing the stock recovery with Odin first and see what that does.

I've been trying to flash to stock with Odin. And recovery. Nothing will flash. Some problem every time.
Hold both volume buttons on the left side of the phone, and then plug in your usb cable. You should be in download mode.
...I know what Download mode is. I've been there the entire time. That's not the problem I'm having.
Whenever I try to flash anything using Odin, it fails at the NAND write, then if I restart Odin and try again it hangs up at SetupConnection. This happens with ANYTHING I try to flash. And now, if I try to boot the phone normally, it goes to a screen saying there was a firmware error and to enter recovery mode in Kies, which I can't do because Kies won't connect to the phone.
Try using a different cable. I got the same error using my longer USB cable, but switching to the original cable from the box helped.

I am having trouble getting Odin flash to Pass. I am not new to the software, have done it many times on many different phones. I am using Odin 1.85 and placing SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane.tar in the PDA slot with only Re-Boot checked just as stated but it freezes everytime I get to system.img.ext4.
Hence I am soft bricked and stuck in download mode with the yellow triangle ! showing.
Anyone else having this issue or know of a way to fix?
Things I have tried:
Different Computer
Different USB Slot
Different USB Cable
Different .tar download links
Kies will not acknowledge the phone
Just out of curiosity did you extract the 7zip?

I'm having the same exact problem, followed the procedures and ODIN failed.
It says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue and KIES wont recognize it either
and i did extract the 7zip for the TAR file
Phone is just stuck now
Help please

I was stuck there just a little while ago. Will it boot into the warning screen where you press volume up to continue to download mode or straight to the "please connect to kies" screen?

Before it got stuck, it booted into the warning screen then i could continue into download mode
NOW, it just sits in "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
change computer, if you can
got it to work
i used a older version of Odin, version 1.3
Worked perfect.
Thanks for your help guys
I'm having the same problem. I'm stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." Odin (both 1.3 and 1.85) hangs at system.img.ext4. Thanks in advance for any help.
Having the same problem, looking forward to some advice.
What exactly is happening and what exactly have you tried?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I'm having this problem as well.
I flashed to CM9 nightly and got it working beautifully before I realized I cannot access my Kies backup to retrieve my contacts and pictures.
Tried to return to stock and it hangs on <ID:0/003> system.img.ext4 with maybe 5% of the status bar complete.
I've attempted to re-download the rom as well as reinstalling the drivers. If I cancel the flash I'm able to reflash CWM using oden and use CWM to flash CM9 to get the phone functional again. This might help anyone with a bricked phone.
I've tried this several times, sometimes it will hang on recovery.img as well. Any help with this would be appreciated. I'll try downloading an older version of oden as recommended above and trying it that way. I'll also try a different computer.
Edit:
To add to this I was able to get Kies to recognize the phone at one point. I then tried to do a firmware recovery and it errors out saying there is an error with the device. Not sure if this means anything as Kies appears to be the crappiest software I've come across in a long time, It won't even detect my untouched Galaxy Tab 8.9 (SGH-i957) at all.
Edit2:
Just copied everything over to my laptop and tried again. Flashed without issue using odin 1.87 after installing kies. Problem appears to be a driver/connection problem on the computer end. Kinda weird as I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers with no success on my desktop. Phone kept looping the ATT "Rethink Possible" boot animation. Had to go into the stock recovery and wipe partition and factory reset. Then it started up fine and is running with 2.3.5
I went to flash my sgs2s and it successfully went into download mode. I started Odin and it froze on xxxxx.img. After waiting about 30 minutes, I shut off the phone and tried to go back to my download mode, only to find that it goes to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I have tried so many different ways to get it back into download mode and nothing seems to work. I can get to the screen to push the vol+ to get to download mode and it goes back to the error screen.
I have tried to use Kies to restore my device to no avail. I have scoured the web for any information, also to no avail. I have tried a couple of ROMs, one which was a stock ROM, no difference. I cannot boot my phone and am in need of my phone. Thank you for any help you might be able to offer.

What were you flashing? Seems like a bad download. Happened to me once. The error screen is download mode. If you try and connect the phone to a computer I am sure ODIN will be able to se it. Redownload whatever you were flashing and try to flash it again using ODIN.
As a usual warning, do NOT check repartition in ODIN.
As a usual tip, use the USb port that's directly on the motherboard of your PC, and not the one on the front.
Also, run ODIN as administrator.

Changed the usb port and it WORKED! Thanks everyone!
Good to hear.
I had to ask because a lot of... less-than-intelligent... people tend to flash skyrocket roms on gsii phones or vice versa, thus bricking their devices...
Alright, here's the story. I've been here a while, flashed a lot and never had an issue. My S3 locked up and shut down after loading a ROM so I decided to flash back to stock and start over. I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed many ROM's, modems, rpm, etc. before.
My phone was in download mode in ODIN and had begun flashing when the cord was pulled out of the phone (don't ask). Since then I can still get into download mode. Odin recognizes the phone but won't move beyond NAND WRITE Start!!!. Occasionally, it will boot telling me to repair update with KIES. I have tried KIES but it won't recognize the phone. I have downloaded the stock PIT and attempted flashing that while having root66 in in the PDA column. While ODIN continues to recognize the device I cannot get a flash past NAND WRITE start.
I have tried flashing the bootchain, CWM, and bootloaders in ODIN all with the same result. I have tried several cables and different USB ports. Did I manage to hard brick my phone even though I can get to Download mode?
Thanks.
Any ideas?
Try a different computer and make sure you are plugging into a usb 2.0 plug. Check the MD5 sums of your downloads too.
Tried that. I think I need a way to fix the NAND partition. Flashing the correct PIT doesn't work either.
Did you pull battery and press appropriate buttons, then put battery back in while holding button combo?
Also, nothing will flash unless you can actually get into download mode.
I'm in download mode but nothing will get past the nand flash write... I can get into download mode and ODIN recognizes the device. Flashing anything seems to start fine but I cannot get past Nand flash write... it just stays there forever. I need some advanced help as I think pulling the cord while flashing in ODIN jacked up my partitions.
It's still doa. Any ideas?
Hi,
I rooted my brandnew GT-P3110 with cf, flashed pacman and cwm recovery. I do not blame anybody alse for my issues but myself. I guess I messed up the restoring of NON-system-apps:
After a day of troublefree use the tablet randomly rebooted and came back with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". No booting into recovery possible, no booting into download mode, no regular boot. Just the same message over and over again. Battery is unremovable.
I installed Kies, updated it, it downloaded drivers but under "emergency recovery" my tablet didn't appear. I then followed the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" procedure wich downloaded the necessary files but aborted with a korean text shown in the attachment after replugging the tablet. I tried this with 2 different USB-cables on several USB-ports. Kies btw asked me to remove the battery (not possible) after entering device number and serial-number. I turned off by pressing the off button instead and it turned on again.
I uninstalled Kies, rebooted, installed the samsung drivers manually, rebooted. I installed odin 1.85 (and later 1.3) and downloaded my contry's stock firmware (and later a newer version of the same firmware and another country's stock) from sammobile. I tried to flash them first without "repartition" ticked, later with it ticked but without a pit file (i can't find it!). I got four different errors, two are attached, the third was somethign like "cant write (line 1876)" and "cant write (line 1440)".I tried three stock firmwares with two version of odin with two USB cords on everal ports on ONE computer. I remove the tablet every time, exited odin every time, run it as admin, disabled firewall, xp-antispy and antivirus. I'm on Windows 7.
Besides a million other threads I found this one, but I wasn't able to solve my issue with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
For 48 hours i tried to solve this problem by myself. Now I hope to find out if there's a point in continuing or if I can give up and throw away the piece of samsung.
Cheers,

I am having the same problem with a P5113. Started with stuck at the Samsung logo. Then I tried a flash from Odin that didn't work. That led to the "Firmware error" screen telling me to use Keis. Keis fails to find the tablet. Odin still sees it but doesn't get a good write.
Now all I get is the battery icon when plugged in but that's it.
Things I have tried:
1) Two versions of Odin
2) Different USB ports
3) Different PC
I also let the device sit over the weekend to completely discharge. Still nothing.
Did you (or anyone else) resolve this issue?

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/)
The JB Bootloader
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.

Thanks. Well, I understand the theory. I have had trouble finding a PIT file that I am sure is for my device. I did save a PIT file but I think it is corrupt because using it requires me to let the battery die afterwards to get back to download mode. Same for the bootloader. I have a few things I've tried, but not sure I have one that is exactly for the GT-P5113 (in fact, I never did find a JB for the 5113 just the 5110 and it never would load).
Well no amount of coaxing has put life back into the tab
I may try again out of curiosity, but rather than invest more time I went out and bought a 32G Nexus 7 (2013 version). I would still like to get the Galaxy Tab alive again -- it has corrupted the flash twice before and each time I was able to bring it back to life. Not sure if this is an actual hardware failure or if it is just beyond partitioning.
I have a feeling if I had the right PIT and the right bootloader I could get back in business.
I can do each thing you mentioned, but my device is not getting detected by my PC. When I insert USB it says USB not recognized and it is not detected by Odin, adb and anything else. I am stuck on Boot Logo for my P3100 and when I go into recovery, it says USB not recognized. Fully messed up. Can you help me out here.

No. I finally sent it to one of these ebay guys who will JTAG it since I was too lazy to wire up one of my JTAG probes. They worked on it and said it was simply dead and the only alternative would be to replace the flash chips.
Bought a Nexus 7.

So one day I decided to flash custom ROM onto my Samsung galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110) and I used Odin and was new to the whole Rom flashing thing, and so It messed up during flashing and I was stupid and unplugged my tablet and now it is stuck in the download mode saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please use KIES and try again" something along those lines, and I tried looking it up and tried to fix it, like holding down power button and hard rebooting, didn't work, which now, every time I plug it into my pc to try a flash factory ROM and it keeps turning on and off on the error screen. So can someone help? I cant take it apart because I am using a screwdriver and it is damaging it, to try and take out battery and put it back in, and I'm not buying one of those plastic tools, I want to but, its just for another reason why I can't, So can anyone help? Thanks!

where can I find an bfs? and what does it stand for?
EDIT: I think I found one, but ill have to wait till I get home from school to do it
So I downloaded it and it was in .tar format. do I need to convert it? because in ap it doenst show up, it shows file formats and .tar is not one of them.
EDIT: never mind used WinZip, and added it, but like I said, every time I plug my tablet into my pc, it turns on, shows the download mode error screen and turn off, then turns right back on, with same screen, and so on and so on. so I really cant do anything till that is fixed...any suggestions?

Ok just fixed the turning on and off thing, I had best idea, hold power button and plug in cord, then let go of power button and it should stay on now
EDIT: just plugged into my pc and its doing it again, it worked with charging cable, but I guess since I unplugged it, it stopped working, ill see when I get home from school and try again
Also turns out the screen only flashes on and off, when it is connected to my pc, when it is to the wall, its fine, so I need to figure that out
Ok it works with my tablet plugged into the "charging only" port basicly, but it does both charge and can send data. But every time I try to flash i on Odin, It always fails, so idk what to do

But it made it a different language upon setup but I can change to English, but it installs like 4 applications every time I reset it and boot it up, I can uninstall them, but its annoying, and the app called calendar or is supposed to be, is called s planer, I don't like it so I'm trying to find a stock ROM for it so it is back to normal.
