Hi everybody, im new here.. so i'll go to the point.. i had recently buy a samsung galaxy s2 tmobile t989 version, im from south america, so i need it to root the phone in order to unlock it for all the operators.. so i followed this tutorial step by step http: //galaxys2root.com /galaxy-s2-root/ how-to-root-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/ (just fill the spaces)
Now.. once the the odin finished.. the cellphone got in a boot loop, i couldn't even go to the recovery mode.. because in the recovery mode also reboots.. and now.. the phone wont turn on.. and when i connect to the pc via usb.. y get that noise.. its like two fast tinun (dont know how to explain) and now i dont know what to do because the only way i think this could be fixed is via JTAG but no one does that here.. only in the USA.. anybody can tell me why that tutorial didnt work and what can i do now?
Post this in the phones forums and you will get a lot more help.

I've tried the Kies but Kiew isn't connecting to phone. Also odin is reading phone when connected. I DL a stock rom now for ICS but I have a feeling this wont work. I just bought this phone. Please help me.

Crap!!! I hope someone can help me. I was trying to upgrade my son's tablet using odin and a stock 4.04 rom from here :Samsung P5100 / P5110 / P5113 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Complete Stock Firmware. The first one for the P5113.
Anyway, everything seemed to be going okay following the directions and then a failed came up in the first box in odin was red. I repeated it and it appeared to be stuck. The tablet was in download mode and the blue line had only progressed about a quarter inch. I heard the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and I tried to initiate it through odin again but the tablet wasn't responding. I stupidly on plugged the tablet and tried to power it down. Now I can't do anything. Can't get into recovery or download mode. The tablet is stuck on the screen and has this message with a picture of a tablet then a yellow triangle and a computer. Here is the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Kies won't recognize the tablet and when I click on emergency firmare recovery it just asks for PC code. I am stumped. I am not familiar with Samsung at all. Also, the message on the screen won't disappear. If I hold down power it won't turn off, the screen will go black and then the message will come right back so I'm afraid the battery will be dead soon and then I will be totally out of luck.
The tablet is a wifi only P5113 Tab 2 10.1.

Not your device but its should be similar. Hope it works for you.
No luck so far, is there no way to get past this screen?
Not that I know of to be honest, You need to get into download/recovery .... Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come up with something !
How old is the tab ?
EDIT :
Will ODIN connect ... When you get that firmware error screen ?

No nothing, windows does recognize it and will install the driver. But Odin doesn't show anything happening and Kies just shows connecting. When you select emergency recovery in Kies it will stop trying to connect and bring up a dialog box asking for a recovery code. Apparently if the failure would have happened during a legit upgrade using Kies it would have generated an error code for recovery. Is there no way to repair this? Thought Samsung devices were suppose to be so easy to customize? Please help my son is pretty pissed.

Update!!!
I was able to get odin to connect to tablet and I got cwm recovery installed so it no longer boots to the failed firmware screen and I can get into recovery. My question is which firmware do I install?? The tablet is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 wifi only. Is the P5113UEBLH3 firmware the correct one? It says it was provided by Cellular South which confuses me since the tablet is wifi only.
Update 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success!!! Got into download mode and was able to load the stock 4.04 firmware and life is good again. Thanks to all that helped.
One thing. Always update your table with OTA or Kies. ODIN breaks the warrantie

I bricked my device from Odin while trying to revert from a CM10.1 nightly to stock JB. Device picked up in Odin, but would not flash... unless I reboot the device after I clicked start in Odin. Dunno why, but it loaded stock firmware on the error screen... don' ask me how...
I have experienced this. Run ODIN, then connect your devices to the computer. When ODIN detect it, unplug and then replug your device. When ODIN back detect it then flash.
Recent versions of Odin work the other way around. First plug then open. Older like <1.87, first you open the program then you plug device. Glad it got solved.

I have also hit this screen several times while playing with roms, this is a fairly common example of "softbrick". Fortunately for me, Odin had no problems connecting, and then simply flashed an oem rom. I have not been able to hard brick this thing, which is a huge surprise considering all the flashing I've done. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't blown up like an iraqi IED yet lol!
This is a good thing! It means that Samsung built in a good failsafe. It just means you hosed your rom install all the way down to the bootloader. Easy to recover from
Glad ya learned to fix it!
Big problems with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

Hi, my problem is identical. I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and after a failed update with Odin the message was:Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I try again with Odin and nothing. I used Kies, and nothing. Then i saw a reference to the md5 philz_touch_5.03.7-p5110.tar.md5 and i use it with Odin. Sucess but the message was RESET. Everithing disappeared from screen except the battery logo. The tablet is always on and with that image. The volume buttons and power don't work and it is not detected.
I'm affraid the thing is bad.
Can you help? Thank you.

Hey cruise, would you happen to still have the file you used on your son's box? The only page I can find won't let me in.
Hello all, im new on the forum. I have an Samsung Galaxy note 10.1. Today when i tried to update my firmware from 4.0.4 to 4.1.X the update stopped at 31% and after seeing for some time that it doesnt go i unpluged the cable. After that for some time it was stuck in upgrade mode- doing nothing. In 5-10 mins i got that Firmware upgrade encountered an issue error. It says please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Ok so i'm into kies and im trying for 2-3 times to recover my device, and every time it is stuck on 31%.
My device won't boot now / do anything.
I wonder if i need to root / flash something but i dont want to use my warranty. Since im new to rooting /flashing i could use some times and some hands on.
I have the N8000 - 3G version.
Thanks a lot in Advance !
Use Odin not kies. ..

Hi everyone! First i want to apologize in advance if i made a mistake or something. Not too sure where to post! Kinda new to forums and forum rules...I need help seriously! For almost a year now, my Galaxy S3 isn't recognizable by any PC, Mac or whatever. Mavericks, Yosemite, Windows 7 or 8, nothing recognizes it. Downloaded the latest Samsung USB drivers, Kies and still didn't work. Went to a shop and they fixed the mini usb thingy where you plug it. They said it was partially unsolded so the data couldn't get through...Don't know if it's true. Got it recognized by my mac the 1st time. Thought it was finally recognized until the 2nd time i plugged it in. Usb device not recognized, again. 70$ thrown out the window. Anyways. Not too long ago, while still unrecognizable, the phone started shutting down by itself every 2 hours or so so i kinda got fed up and decided to wipe it to factory settings. Tried it through Kies instead of using the vol up/home button/power. Was never able to do so. Kies was doing fine until it told me that i needed to go in emergency recovery mode cause something had went wrong. Tried to go on recovery mode but no can do. Odin mode shows up all the time even though i'm doing the recovery mode manipulation. Got fed up of that too so i decided to flash to a stock firmware through Odin. Forgot to mention: the download mode works...well looks like it. Odin didn't recognize my phone too. Actually, i got it see the phone like 5 times over 100 trys and everytime (the 5 times) it started the flashing process, it would fail right at beginning of the process. Like 3 seconds later. Tried all kinds of pc's, usb cables, etc. My phone was rooted and i lost the root by updating. Was that a mistake? I don't know since the thing was functionning very well. The whole point: now i'm stuck with a phone that goes straight in Odin mode! The same tech from the same shop kept my phone for a few days to check it out and still nothing! Even the guy from the store doesn't know what to do. He spoke to me about flashing the phone's CMOS but he looked soooo unsure...And he was asking 50$ to do so....so no thank you. What can i do people? What is wrong with my phone? Wish i knew more about those things so i wouldn't have to cry for help! Don't know if i explained it well since english is not my natural language...Will answer your questions if you guys wanna know more...Seriously, heeeeeeeeeeelp! Thanks in advance people!
