During odin restore process....and unexpected error occured...now i cant boot my device up...it has flashes of some sort of kies message, but i cant get it to stay on long enough for any application to work on it?? any recommendations..
thanks in advance
explained better, what did you do with odin?
I thought i was restoring software through pda file..it was going for a while...then i came back and it was like the battery died in the middle of the operation.....now i cant get tablet to stay connected long enough in odin to resore anything....i get a message saying to plug into kies in recovery mode;....but i cant get it into recovery mode.....at times when it does connect for a quick second kies says connecting...but it never does.??
Thanks in advance.

this guy seemed to have same issue
if kies doesn't recognize the device you have to install the drivers here :http://depositfiles.com/files/3raqcskp2 .Another way is using odin v 1.85 to flash a firmware stock samsung here; http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
thanks...i just shipped it back to samsung...will hold website for future issues..im sure they will arise...thanks again.

I have already used kies once to upgrade my sgh-i727's firmware to ICS. Anyways my aunt asked if i would do hers for her. I ran kies but after the firmware install had started I got an error message asking me to unplug my phone and boot in to recovery mode. However I can only get the phone to boot into odin mode. Either by turning it on normally i get the error:
odin mode
product name: sgh-727
custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
Or i can boot in to normal odin mode holding the volume up and down keys while plugging the usb port in. Then I choose volume up to load custom rom i end up at the same error.
I did try endlessly booting into recovery mode holding the volume up and down keys while powering on (also tried just up and just down to ensure i wasn't crazy) and while samsung flashes super briefly i again end up in odin mode with the error message. I tried flashing a stock ICS and gingerbread roms via odin 1.85 but it fails saying there is no pit file. I have searched for a pit file to load but have been unable to find one, in fact I noticed I was not the only one unable to locate one for this model phone.
Even without recovery mode I still did try to do a emergency firmware recovery in odin mode (rather sure it wouldn't work but what the heck) to no avail. I am at a total loss. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this brick aside from haveing her exchange it with ATT? It is only two days old so that is a possibility if worse comes to worse.
I have scoured the forums, Google and everything else I could think of before asking for help so please don't thrash me if i missed something. some help and a point in the right direction is all i ask. thanks!

take the battery out, put it in download mode and use odin to just flash a stock 4.0.4 att rom
this has happened to me during a 2.3.6 upgrade and i switched usb ports, pulled battery and plugged back in and used odin to flash a stock 2.3.6
here is the stock att official 4.0.4 http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162779401/27c699c/I727UCLF6_I727ATTLF6_ATT.zip.html

New to the boards; however, I must say THANK YOU to the persons who own and operate these boards. Also a BIG THANK YOU to vincom and everyone else who helps on these boards.
I just went through the exact same dilemma that the person who created this post did. I thought for sure Kies ruined my phone.
Well I used vincom's resolution and my phone is working again AND I have ICS! Thank you!
Those who are saying thanks should click thanks on Vincom's post as well. Sending one his way for you...lol.

Ok so this all started with me looking to root my phone, i had been looking around and had found out that my phone had an ics update i could only get from kies, i tryed and it wouldnt recognize my phone. So i looked into it and read that i had to use odin and flash in a previous version of the firmware to get kies to recognize it, during the process odin got stuck at the "NAND write start!!" message, i looked online and it said to pull the battery, so i did and since my phone has been stuck on the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery more in kies and try again." Obviously kies wouldnt work, so i did some searching and it seemed the phone was soft brick, i tryed putting it into download mode but i cant get anything but the firmware upgrade screen to show up, now odin recognizes the device so i followed the unbrick instructions on another page accidently forgot to uncheck the re-partition thing,so odin constantly gets stuck at either nand write start or setupconnection,. im at a loss for what to do and i cant seem to find the exact issue at all
The phone is a galaxy s blaze obviously, on tmobile

Just need to search here a bit more. All you need to do is pull the battery again and enter download mode (yet again) and then flash CWM from here and then flash whatever rom you want.

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.
I've got the pit files for P311x and P3100 on my website https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-70-p31xx
Here is the sequence of events:
Galaxy tab 2 10.1 with factory rom (wife's tablet)
Wife tells me that she keeps trying to complete the update everytime she gets prompted, but it always fails
Wife also tells me that she can't power off the tablet (she presses the power button, it shuts down, but then it starts up again)
I try the upgrade, get same result as wife
I try to reset the rom: I download what I think is the correct file, download Odin 1.85, and run it.
put tablet into download mode, attempt to use Odin to load new rom ***note, this is probably where I screwed up, as I am not sure i used the correct file. This is the file I used: PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE20110704_0708.tar, which I found in a search on xda forums for my problem.
Odin reported failure. I tried again, same result.
I tried using KIES, using the Firmware upgrade and intitialisation (note that I must have UK version of KIEs, based on the spelling of initialisation--maybe that's a problem??/). I put in the model number, then the serial number if the tablet, get a message that GT-P5113 does not support initializing
tablet displays the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I try to put tablet back into download mode, but that doesn't work. Any suggestions on what to do at this point? Appreciate a step-by-step solution, if possible.
Thanks!

Seems you flashed a wrong file.
Download another rom from http://live.samsung-updates.com/
and reflash with odin
Last week i tried to update my tab from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 it hangup while flashing. Had to reset but then end up with firmware upgrade encountered blablabla. I just reflash within the blind screen without download mode and got it to work again
But don't I need to get the tablet into download mode first?

If it's really a gt-p5113 then find the 1 for your country. If you're not sure your region code/csc then just download for any region.
You will know what i'm talking about if take a look at the given link
Please look at item 10 on my list

I can't load ANY file to the tablet, as I CANNOT GET IT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE. I need to know how to force the tablet into download mode. Pressing POWER and VOLUME DOWN does not work. NOTHING HAPPENS.
Connect to PC on the screen "firmware upgrade encountered blablabl" Downloadmode on in Background, Odin can get access
If you are working with Odin, please kil ALL Samsung and KIES Programs and Services running in Background.

I have tried this many times and Odin just fails. TWRP, CWM, Phil's touch all tried and failed. I have tried so many ROMs not sure I could list 'em all. Wanted to try SlimKat. But have this same problem, can't find the handle now, I only get the firmware upgrade encountered blah, blah. I'm just about ready to make confetti out of it! Can I get assistance with this problem, please. I don't care what ROM I have to run, I just need it to work...

None as yet, I'm running out of real estate to search...
The rom you used in your op was probably for a data tab like sprint, att, Verizon, that is usually a brick result.
If you could factory reset you may have a chance but I doubt it without recovery or download mode.
Pp
You are faceing the "black screen of death" ("Firmware upgrade encountered an issue....").
Uninstall kies and reboot your pc.
Start odin.
Connect the tab running the black screen of death (BSOD).
Download mode running in background of BSOD so odin will detect your device.
Flash the correct firmware now and pray flashing the at&t rom didn't caused a hardbrick.

Correct rom
I think that is exactly my problem. Last night I got Odin to run all the way through, it said pass but still no soap. I'm just about to list it for parts and at least minimize my loss.
My Phone sprint S3 is rooted with a stock4.1.2 rom. I was going to put my phone in recovery to do a backup because I wanted to flash ND8 then a new Kit Kat rom. The phone wouldn't boot to recovery. I read something about using Kies if this happens. I updated Kies and connected the phone to it. Now it boots to the "Samsung" on the screen and goes to small windows with "unfortunately the process.com.android.phone has stopped" when I hit OK it says ".process.acore has stopped". It goes in to some more windows sometimes. can I fix this or am I screwed. I just wnat to go back to my rooted 4.1.2 stock rom for now and then figure out where to go from there. If the only thing to do is flash the phone with ND8 with Oden so be it, I'm not sure how at this point to do that.

having driver problem
Oden3 ver3.09 to do what you said. I still can't get the usb driver to work with my computer and phone. It is a SPH-L710 on sprint.
Okay got the driver but getting FAIL
I got the driver to work after I got the phone in to download mode. However every time I try to flash the VRALEC bootchain I get a fail. I have the phone in download mode.
got first bootloader to run. But
I got the driver to work after I got the phone in to download mode. I think I got the first bootloader to run even though it failed every time I tried to flash it. I however can't get the second one to even show up in Odin!
