[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 Problem after failed firmware update. - General Questions and Answers

Problem after failed firmware update.
I tried to Update my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100G) using Odin 1.85
the Phone shut down before finishing the update. At that point I could not start my S2 the only picture I got was a black screen with a phone a “!” in a yellow triangle and a computer. I tried to upload the firmware again with Odin but it failed every time. I tried using Kies but it could not find the phone. I googled the problem to find a solution that could work and I tried several solutions without luck. But at last i tried the following advice see link:
xda-developers - View Single Post - [Q] Firmare upgrade encountered an issue - Am i done for?
I downloaded the .tar file that was referred to:
KERNEL_XWLPO.tar
and Odin worked and this file was downloaded. The problem is that now i only get the start page with the text Samsung Galaxy S2 with a yellow triangle "!" in the bottom. I tried plugging it to the USB port on my computer but it can't see the phone anymore and Odin and Kies can't see it so I can't upload another firmware.
Please help, I am desperate

DEAD Galaxy W I8150

Hello
I was flashing my Galaxy W but suddenly it stucked at AMSS....I just pulled of the cable and now when I turn on my phone, it says: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
How can I bring it back?!
TIA
You will need to put it in Download Mode, grab ODIN and flash one of these. Go back to stock, get it working, then start over
Good luck!

Ah yes, but which one?
I've looked through the thread, doesn't seem like anyone's laid out a guideline for it. However, if you happen to know, could you tell me which one I'd need for my phone?
PDA: I8150XXLA2
PHONE: I8150XXKL3

I think I bricked my son's tablet!

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!

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.

[Q] [HELP] Kies Firmware Update Failed

Hello,
I just updated the firmware of my brand new Note 10.1 (N8000) using Kies, which seems to have failed - I can't even turn the device off. I'm a quite experienced computer user, but brand new to Android. Any help or feedback would be very much appreciated (esp. how I can at least turn off the device).
Problem Description:
I have a new Note 10.1 (a German device/I'm in Germany using the Vodafone network, but I guess that shouldn't matter) and installed Kies today. The application identified a new firmware and suggested an update, which I did via USB. Everything appeared to have gone all right - the file got downloaded, transferred to the device, which then showed that it was installing the updates (something like 95 items). No error message. The device then booted, and that's where it seems to be stuck: since then, the device is in an endless loop: Screen is black, a swirling animation comes up, than the Samsung Logo, which stays for like 12 seconds, the screen goes black and it starts from the beginning (in total the loop takes like 15 secondes). Kies cannot connect to the device, and I can't even turn it off, it's just stuck in this endless loop.
Before the update, the device was neither modified nor rooted (I only installed a few apps), and there was no error message during the update (at least none that I saw).
Can anyone help???
Get the firmware file from sammobile and flash with odin. You can find a lot of how to regarding Odin, just do a search and you will find a movie or tutorial.
Here is the fw
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/178817278/616d7ef/N8000XXBLJ9_N8000OXABLJ9_DBT.zip.html
The link is from sammobile, not a mirror, so it's safe.
Or you could just return it for an exchange.

Kies failed! Odin PASS and stuck in the logo!, it doesnt boot!
You may need to go into recovery and wipe data/cache partition. This will wipe your internal memory of everything but you will get an operational note...

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue on GALAXY GEAR

My galaxy gear is showing the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" screen. Is there anyway to recover from this? Neither Kies 3 nor Kies 2.6 is recognizing my device
.
Same here Odin doesn't do anything either. Has anyone else fixed this? Thanks!
About which Gear are you talking:
Gear 1, Gear 2 or Gear 2 Neo ?
Gear 1 . . . just downloaded an older firmware 4.2.2 and it installed using Odin 3 v185 so all good now

This didn't work for me. I used Odin3.07 and 4.2.2 stock ROM to flash first - I used PHONE option because the others didn't work (no progress in the message window). This 'faulty' flash came up with a 'UI stopped working error' when the Gear rebooted but I was able to get it into download mode now. I then used Odin 3.09 and the flashed the 4.2.2 as a PIT which worked fine!
Got there after reading through a lot of XDA threads and trying many things. But in the end, the answers were here. Thanks.
PS how I got into the mess (the firmware error message with the yellow triangle)? I was on null 23 and wanted to go back to stock rom so that I could sell the Gear. Couldn't get into download mode for Odin 3.09; I can't exactly remember what I did but I disconnected the gear midway through a seemingly failed flash and it got me to the error. Googling says use Kies but nope, it wouldn't recognise the gear even for the 'emergency firmware'. I tried a lot of things, and wasted a lot of time!

Worked perfectly, THANK YOU! After a few failed attempts at flashing my Gear I thought it was doomed, luckily after flashing the stock ROM back to it as you described I was successful at flashing the Tizen ROM. Thanks for your help!!

when i do long press on the gear it's only go black screen for awhile then back to error with yellow triangle.

I just ticked the PIT box and browsed to the ROM file. Using the older Odin, that got me past the error message.
I think there are so many variables, we've probably tried many different combination of things. I'm just describing what worked for me, I can't promise it'll work for anybody else. Just wanted to put it out there so that it may help someone.
This worked for me
youtube{dot}com{slash}watch?v=fS4878klPAQ[ ( i cant post links yet so you will have to fix up the url or youtube search "How to UnBrick Galaxy Gear"
You must down load his rom to start of with after that you should be right to upgrade with Kies to tizen then to tizenmod if wanted or just load Null or what ever but this should unbrick the little [email protected]#$%^&*. Wish you luck

That doesn't make any sense. Odin 3.09 asks for either a .pit file or an .xml file if you choose PIT.
How do you perform the null flash twrp? Could you give step by step guide. I got Odin 3 v18 too. firmware ready.

Today I try again, all the time stuck on Initialization.
Note I tried different Odin version.

The time it was succeed without fail it was on the black USB 2.0
So now even completely can't start to download firmware.
Also I was try to download Twrp after it was nearly succeeded and stucked on erasing, hoping that I can access recovery mode to wipe everything, but Twrp stucked on logo.
After all that I can't do nothing.
I still can access downloading mode and phone stuck on logo if I put it on the charge.

You should identify the exact device model.
Then check to download the stock Samsung firmware for this model.
