First of all I apologize if this has been brought up before in other posts. I am in a mixture of frustration and panic right now because I tried upgrading to ICS on my Rogers SGS2 LTE, and it failed.
Using Kies, I followed the prompts, and for whatever reason it didn't finish. Now when I boot up the phone, it keeps telling me to use the recovery mode option in Kies. However, if I do try to use recovery mode, it always times out and tells me I may need to contact a Samsung service center. The computer has no problem communicating with the phone, AFAIK.
Basically, I'm here to ask what options I have. Currently, i'm trying to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 , but because the stock TAR is taking a long time to download, I'm asking if I have any other options. I would like to keep the data on my phone, but if I have to wipe it to return it to normal I'm willing to do that.
Please help.
Reboot and try again

Are you rooted? Are you running the stock recovery that came on the phone? If your rooted and have apps that are froze or your running a modded recovery like cwm you must flash back to stock or kies will not ever work

I've tried rebooting the computer I was using, and I've also tried another computer with no luck. I got the latest Kies on the other computer, connected the phone with no problem, and tried recovery mode on THAT 2nd computer, but it didn't work because it didn't recognize my recovery code that the first computer gave me.

I *think* I was rooted. I remember doing something a long time ago involving odin. I never installed Cyanogenmod or any other 3rd party roms.
I had Superuser under my apps, if that helps.
I wish I could reply sooner but this board is making me wait 5 mins between posts. Sorry. It's like I'm in the emergency room with a gunshot wound and I'm waiting for the doctor to finish his smoke break, then his coffee break, then washroom break, jesus
by CWM, I think you're asking about Clockwordmod? If so, yes, I had that on my phone. Does this mean I can't use the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 to fix my phone now? Or can I still proceed.
If you have superuser then most likely you are rooted and since you have clockworkmod especially then kies is not gonna update your phone. Your on Rodgers so you need to find the stock firmware and flash it. I'm on att or I could link you to one that would work. I got my stock firmware from Samsung website. Try going to sammobile and see if you can find the stock firmware for your phone. I'm sure since its Samsung they should have Rodgers firmware to. Download the stock firmware and flash it in Odin onto to your phone and then kies should work. If you can't find the stock firmware at sammobile then look for the stock firmware here on xda I'm sure someone on Rodgers has it....
Edit. The link up there to Odin back to stock should work. Just download the file and follow the steps in order and don't leave one out. There are no shortcuts when it comes to flashing a phone or it could be rendered useless for anything more than a paperweight. Konane is real good and would not lead anyone wrong....

Just flashed it via Kies, had to use ODIN by flashing stock, Odin wouldn't work till I rebooted my computer, then once Kies updated, I had had a error ( com.Android.phone stopped) but I cleared data and cache in 3e, then everything worked.

I just wanted to post a follow-up. I followed the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 and it fixed me phone. Best of all, I didn't lose anything.
I would still like to get ICS on my phone. I noticed on Sammobile's site that there is a firmware for 4.04 that was released recently. Would I somehow be able to use that, combined with Odin, to get ICS on my phone? In other words, follow all the steps in the aforementioned thread, except, use this newer firmware file? Sorry I realize this may sound like a dumb noob question, but I want to make sure I do things right.
Thanks for all the help btw.

If you're back to stock and on Rogers, you should be able to update using Kies.
The thing is, when Odin fixed my phone, it didn't remove Superuser, so doesn't that mean my phone isn't stock anymore? I was expecting Odin to basically reset my phone back to factory settings, but it seems to have just reverted it back to before I tried updating to ICS with kies.

If you go into 3e or cwm if you still have it, you should be able to clear cache and data, so after that Kies should recognize it and start the download

I haven't used the stock 3e that much always just flash cwm but I would suggest that you do a factory data reset to from the recovery if 3e gives that option I've never used it so I'm not sure. But if you are still on cwm recovery kies will not ever update your phone until you put everything back stock. You must have just flashed the kernel only. Flashing just the kernel does not wipe anything you need to flash the stock firmware from sammobile in Odin and that will do a full wipe and restore everything to stock

Sorry but what is 3e? The only place i see cwm mentioned is under the rom manager app, but when i launch it rom manager says i don't have a rooted device and super user can't be found. Weird thing is i see super user as an app on my phone.

Turn the phone off. Hold both volume up and volume down and hold the power button do not release the volume buttons yet. Pressing all 3 buttons when you first see the screen come on mine shows an att logo then release the power button only. The phone will then boot into either 3e stock recovery or cwm recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
OK, I did what you said, and I see 3e and the option to wipe data/factory reset. So you're recommending I do this BEFORE i try to use Odin and the latest firmware for Sammobile?
Just out of curiosity, if I didn't do a reset before flashing using Odin, what would happen?

hey gang. have a samsung galaxy s2 i727 (at&t).
tried using the odin 1-click to install ics, but something happened, everything froze, and now i get the dreaded "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
kies won't read the phone, and i'm not sure how i can get into download mode to try and flash the original rom with Odin as some other threads are directing me to do. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
Have you tried rebooting the phone with the charger attached?? That always puts me in download mode

i was able to get back to stock using odin 1.3. i'd much rather be on ics, but the 1-click odin isn't working for me.
i'll have to look around to see if i can get a tar of the rom.
thanks!
I went through the same thing. I just flashed the rom as soon as Odin recognize the phone and done deal

When the phone boots to "firmware encountered an issue message" you still in dl mode try the ics one click again or just push a custom recovery and flash a rom
Edit: if possible be sure to ALWAYS check md5 to ensure proper download. That goes for anything you flash to your phone :thumbup:

Yup - figured out the DL mode thing. Just had a bit of a panic at first as the screen is pretty foreboding and it was my girlfriend's phone.
I went from, "Give me your phone, dear. I'm going to upgrade it and be your hero" to "Stop yelling. I didn't break your phone. Just give me a minute to figure out how to fix it."
My problem with the ICS one-click is that the program said it was done, but the phone just hung on the "downloading ROM screen" for 20 minutes. Now that I know how to fix the soft-brick, I want to try it again. The lady, however, doesn't seem too eager to hand over the phone. =]
Wait until she goes to sleep. Shell wake up to a surprise. :beer:

I accidentally installed busybox by CWM but it was designed for galaxy tab 10.1 instead of galaxy note 10.1. Now, the device has some problems like it does not detect the sim cart and so on. I can install new frameworks and I have CWM but nothing happens when I install new framework or wipe the device. Also, I tried a stock rom but .... .
I really need help.
sorry for bad english.
Never would have guessed busybox that is usually pretty generic and doesn't have much to do with nonroot apps would cause issues like what you seem to be experiencing.. crazy stuff but good luck!
If nothing else Odin back to newest stock using the stock Odin package that is usually found among your device "stickied" threads. I don't have a gnote but I have had many galaxy devices and Odin is the cure for all ills

How can I reset the device to first time run state. Like it asked me about personal info and gmail account at start up?

I think I missed some files in the efs folder. the phone status shows that some basic info are missed from the phone. check the attached.
I tried downloading and installing the custom recovery so I could flash roms but it didn't work so I tried to turn on my phone nd nowit gets stuck on Samsung what do I do????????

and now I have hard time finding the Files Needed to reflash my firmware in this p6200
its quite complicated than i thought because one time i downloaded a firmware which is 600mb or so and i found that it has only one file
I remember that I need 4 files ....I think I need those 4 to for me to be able to flash the firmware am I right?

Make sure you have a firmware that includes a ".pit" file.
Check (enable) "rePartition" in Odin when you flash
Make sure that the file you use is for your model and country.

Best place to find specific firmware - http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-P6200. The list is sorted by release date, so look through the entire list for your version and region.
You could possibly have a GT-P6200L or -P6201 (depending on your region/carrier), which you can select in the drop-down list on right side of the page.
I don't know if .pit file is included in the .tar.

thanks again to all who helped me :laugh:
I think that im on a big trouble now...my Pc wont Detect The Tab now (it says unrecognize Device) but it knows that the tab is connected to the PC
and when i charge the tab it shows a loading battery sign the one with rotating circle and it just stays like that even if i charge it whole day
it started happening when I tried to flash a different firmware in short i flashed a firmware which is not my stock
The firmware i download was a honeycomb firmware XXXXXXX.tar.md5 file on a zip
and so when i extracted the zip winrar said its corrupted (file size is the same i downloaded it without a pause or anything)
and so i just continue the extraction
and then i tried to flash it with odin and odin said md5 mismatch
SO I removed the md5 on the file so it would be XXXXX.tar
and now PC wont detect tab on Download mode and I cant get into recovery mode
any suggestions?

SO I removed the md5 on the file so it would be XXXXX.tar
and now PC wont detect tab on Download mode and I cant get into recovery mode
any suggestions?

I have a somewhat similar problem, tried to upgrade my stock rooted ICS to official JB(U.K. version) using Odin3 v3.07, halfway i encountered a FAIL message and now my GT-P6210 is stuck in a screen with a big yellow alert sign and below that a message which says " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." tried using Kies but could not even connect to the tablet, tried accessing recovery but screen is stuck in that big yellow alert sign with the warning. tried turning if off but still stuck. any suggestions?

I'm not expert but from my dealings with Kies its pure crap lol. Though I would make sure to use a rear (not front) usb port and official samsung cable and try again with Odin with the tab in Download mode, if you can.
I think the steps here would apply (ignoring the different key combination for the tab plus and the stuff after the flashing part at the start)

finally solved the problem, after more tinkering with it, was able to go into download mode again by just pressing again the power button and the volume down button at the same time (funny thing i tried this method earlier but won't go to download mode but after leaving it on the table for an hour and getting back at it, worked fine). while tablet is in download mode, i run odin again and this time i used version 1.85, loaded the official U.K. version JB tar.md5 file, connected the cable and waited for it to be detected (windows did an auto update) and waited for the :id.com tab to light up to yellow color (by default only the auto-reboot and the F.reset was checked) and click start again and everything went fine. now i have jellybean and rooted it with framaroot(no hassle one click rooting process by alephzain, if it does'nt work just uninstall the .apk). my table is now a rooted jellybean
