I was trying to update to the JB that was released and got in a hurry (I know..don't hurry). I selected the wrong file in Odin and I am now stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue screen" I cannot get the tablet to boot into recovery or into download mode at all. It is stuck on that screen.
Also Kies wont detect the tablet either.
BTW it was on 4.0.4 stock and not rooted when I started this earlier. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you try holding down the power button for 10 seconds or so - to see if it would reset and get you back to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 screen ??
Regards,
Yes I did try that, the error screen will shut off for a few seconds and then comes back on and will repeat that if I hold down the power.button.

My apologies - I have fortunately never encountered that error screen, and if resetting the tab just brings you back to that same screen - I do not have any other suggestions at this time
I am sure someone else will post a reply if they can help
Good luck
Regards,
OK so there may be hope, I had a chat earlier with Samsung support. They said to uninstall Kies, and check if your PC detects the tab when you plug it in and it does do that. Would ADB work as long as it detects the device? If so can someone point me in the direction of some ADB assistance?
Thanks again!
Ok, I was able to fix this. Here is how in case this happens to someone else.
1. Uninstalled Kies
2. Reboot PC
3. Plug in tab and wait for drivers to load
4. Start Odin (I found the DL link in the dev area)
5. download the firmware that you want to load - I had JB
6. extract the md5 file
follow Odin instructions to flash a file, this worked without being in Download Mode.
Congrats - glad it worked out for you

Hello,
If possible, would you be able to make a video of the way you fixed your bricked tablet?
I am at the point of returning the tablet back to amazon.
I know, the tab is in SOFT BRIKE MODE. I just can't make it to work with the original version.
That is what I get for lookin` at videos on youtube.
Thanks, please reply as soon as possible.

Hello,
Im running Froyo on my Galaxy S. And recently I tried to install ryanZA's one click lag fix. When doing this it said its rebooting and finalizing but the phone turned off and when starting it stops at Galaxy S welcome screen and start vibrating time to time after that. Screen disappears but the phone keeps on vibrating time to time.
The reason I was trying to install this was my notification bar, it gets stuck most of the time and I was trying to get rid of that. In most places I read that its a memory issue and the lag fix would fix it if it was installed.
I installed the one click lag fix from the market, it needed rooting. then again from most of the suggestions I installed z4 root on the phone. It worked.
And while I was trying to apply the one click lag fix and it rebooted, it wont boot. welcome screen comes and goes, and after half an hour its till vibrating with 20 second interval.
Please help me, im very scared that I bricked my phone.
What can I do to fix this?
You need ODIN. here---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625 (only works with windows OS) You need samsung drivers installed.
You need to get into download mode. Hold down both volume buttons and plug in usb cable(while cable is plugged into computer), that should get you into download mode.
If you can get into download mode, and odin recognizes your phone, download these files here--->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 and put them in their respective places.
Hit start and done, let the phone reboot.
Try looking around here something in here might help you out if you get stuck. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
**Edit these files are only for the Vibrant SGH-T959**

Hello, thanks for your reply. I see what you mean by this, but do I really want :
T959 (US T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S)?
Mine simply is not this - bought it unlocked in UK as Galaxy S.
Will it be the same?
thanks
Hey mate, please confirm this :/ Im seeing lots of different stuff as I'm googling around.
Not sure what to do, someone please help
Ok reset to factory settings from the recovery screen.
all Data lost but at least its working.
;(
Oh wow sorry, I didn't even notice that you never mentioned vibrant. Dont try to flash those files it will probably mess up your phone.
Glad you got it working.

NOT only got it working =, but after extensive research I installed speedMod kernel, that will probably solve all my problems.
Thanks tho.
Ok, I will Assume you have a I9000 Galaxy S phone. That is the European phone
You will need to Odin back or use Heimdall to get back to Stock, 2.1 variety of some sorts. Check the development and general section in the I9000 forum. You will get all the info and files needed to accomplish this.
Then Once you have it back to stock 2.1 , then root the phone/ Then Download Rom manager. From there you will be able to do anything you want to the phone.
Do not use Ryanza lagfix use Voodoo it is preferred for this phone over all others. Also, All the new Custom Roms usually have it pre-installed already.
You will need the following files:
Samsung drivers for the computer
Stock 2.1 Tar File
Pit 512 (this is for mapping) file
Odin 1.7 or higher
After you are in stock Then you can then root/ download rom-mgr/ then flash any Custonm rom of your choice (Like Darky's9.3, etc)
Good luck
Cheers
Thank you.
The problem has been solved by going into recovery mode and doing a factory reset. All DATA has been sacrificed.
Then i flashed it with speedMod kernel. Its much better now.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

Hey Guys...
I Have a Concern that I would Like Help with... I am Trying to Install / Restore My Friends Galaxy S 4G to Stock but Once I get Past the FactoryFS and Etc I Get a Fail When it's Time to Write (which is what it states)
Now, I'm a Dev Assistant and a Tester So I Know How to Get Around but Samsung is a bit Harder as it Needs to Be Done via Odin
Any Info on to What Might be Causing this or as to What I Can do to help him resolve this... Every time I Try to Turn on the Phone Now I get the Recovery Menu... I Guess Since Odin was Unsuccessful @ the Writing Point?
I'm Sorry but I'm Lost Here... Thanks In Advance for the Help!
There is a thread up top labelled noobs guide to flashing. It has the stock rom link available.
You will need to run Odin before next step.
You will put the phone into download mode.
Do this by holding down the power up and power down button as you plug in the usb cable.
Your phone should recognize ODIN.
Follow the steps in the Noobs guide to flashing on how to load the files into ODIN.
It is very simple because you dont change any settings in ODIN. You leave it how it is and it really makes flashing back to stock pretty easy
Let me know if you have any questions.

So I actually have a similar problem but I get a FAIL every time I go through the process. Here is what I have tried:
1) Tried to root with ODIN and sent my phone into an endless boot with funky colored dots after boot screen. Apparently i failed.
2) Tried flashing with ODIN KD1 deodexed rom referenced in another xda thread about how to unbrick a galaxy s 4g. This quickly sent up the FAIL box in red in ODIN and then my phone was solidy bricked -> black screen with an arrow from a cell phone to a computer.
3) Used the One-click unbrick tool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252#post15330252
4) This one-click too solved my black screen problem but now i'm back to the endless boot. I can still enter into download mode but not recovery.
I have been working on this all day without any luck, so I hope someone is willing to help. Thanks

You will not need to enter recovery only download so that is ok.
Make sure you have the correct drivers for your phone installed on your computer. Also make sure you have ODIN running before you enter download mode.
I have had instances in the past where I had to reinstall ODIN and restart my computer before it would flash as well.
Let me know if you have any questions or need to know what files I use.
So I think I have the correct drivers installed on my computer but I could be wrong I suppose. The computer seems to recognize my phone fine so I think it's OK. Is there anyway to double check this?
I'm also not sure if I'm using the proper rom for flashing in ODIN. Thanks for offering to help.

If it is recognizing the phone it should be alright.
I would personally use [ROM-ODIN]T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root which can be found in ALL ROMS thread in dev section.
Once you have it downloaded take all the previously mentioned steps.
Run Odin... download mode.... etc.
Dont change any of ODINS settings.
Go down Odins list and upload the files to the correlating places. If it does not work PM me and we will figure out whats happening.
Trying this now. Thank you so much for your help.

KB5 is good, but i would recommend raver's KC1. it will clean up all problems that have accumulated from the bad flashes.
So I already flashed KB5. I would like to upgrade the phone to 2.3.5 if possible now, or is this a bad idea with all the bad flashes?

So I did a little more homework and it appears that I need to flash something like KG4 through ODIN? Once I have done this I can flash Valhalla, which appears to be the most popular/stable release.
just search for fbis251's GB start pack. that is all you need to follow. read the whole op first before doing anything.

Even if your phone is shown the "Phone---!---PC" screen .. ODIN should still recognize it being attached to your computer .. My first SGS2 Skyrocket did this in which I was able to reflash back to stock using ODIN v1.85 .. however, my first SGS2 took a real crapper for some reason .. that even the USB JIG was unable to get the phone into Download Mode.
I now have a replacement in which I'm being REAL careful with .. LOL

You are hard bricked. You flashed a i9100 rom over a i727 device.
Only advice I can give is drop it in the toilet if you have insurance on the phone and get a replacement, or call your carrier's warranty department and tell them your phone just stopped working (not particularly ethical and you could get caught if they figure out it was rooted, but worth a shot...).
Oh, and the other advice is NEVER flash roms meant for devices other than the Skyrocket. Roms meant for the original S2 will brick your phone.

No need for a jig here (though it is good to have one anyways). If you get the "firmware upgrade failed" screen, just plug the phone in and if Odin sees your phone you can flash the stock tar. The "failed" screen won't look like it's doing anything but after Odin finishes you will be back to stock and life will be good again.
Emergency I tried to download the ics leak followed all the right procedures and for some odd reason the system was not upgrading so I thought something was wrong so I unplugged the skyrocket and up came the screen saying use kies to recovery mode. Kies is not recognizing my device so now I am stuck I don't know what to do and I need my phone to breathe again ASAP. HELP PLEASE!!! I either need to put it back to stock or something idk all I know is that there has to be a way
You should probably be able to use Odin to flash CWM again
If you already have it, just hold down up and down volume as you turn on your phone. Release when the first Samsung screen appears, and you should be good to go

Hello I just got this skyrocket after losing my i777 that I had rooted and was running Task650 JB 4.2.2 rom. Well I went and download odin and openrecover-twrp-2.4.4.0-skyrocket. I did just what the sticky said to do run odin and click on pda and put the openrecovery tar file in. I then took my battery out wait a few sec put it back in and press both up and down volume key.
While hold down the keys I put the usb cable in and when it came on I press up and got into download mode. I started odin and it was downloading and then it fail. I didn't put the battery back plate back on when I first took the battery out and when I got up I hit the cord and it lifted the phone up and the battery came out. I put the battery back in and when I tried to get back in download mode or recovery I get this message firmware upgrade encountered an issue. I download kies and that didn't help it wont connect to kies. it does to my computer and when you start odin and I plug it in I get the yellow bar so it does detect the phone. I just cant get into download mode. Can someone please help me.

I cant get into download mode. I tried it again but it the same thing. As soon I put the battery in and either hook up the usb cord or press power I get firmware message. Can someone please walk me through the process of getting into download mode It was stock. It didn't even have the new updates. This was a phone that a friend sold me real cheap.

I cant get into download mode. I tried it again but it the same thing. As soon I put the battery in and either hook up the usb cord or press power I get firmware message. Can someone please walk me through the process of getting into download mode It was stock. It didn't even have the new updates. This was a phone that a friend sold me real cheap. I did a factory reset when I got it.

7. How To Put your device into Download Mode (aka odin mode):
If I understood your post correctly:
You can't get into download mode, because you're already in it.
"Firmware" message IS in fact another screen of the same download mode.
If you see the phone in ODIN - then why would you even ask questions instead of trying to flash?

Also, do NOT flash i777 roms on the skyrocket.

I had the same exact problem the other night. Just run ODIN again and then you should be able to get to recovery and / or download mode.
