How-to Revert to stock

I am not responsible if you brick your phone although you are likely soft bricked if you are reading this guide. This is how I successfully restored after flashing a T959 Odin rom/pit, I had to use a Jig after to get into download mode then was provided the necessary files by cnote74 on the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978836&page=16
Here is a Jig on Amazon, I bought mine on Ebay for 3 dollars.

Sorry to bump up an old thread, if anyone help who is familiar enough to help me with this, I really do appreciate.
Basically, I can't boot into the phone and I am currently stuck on "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error screen (http://androidcentral.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Firmware-upgrade-error.png) whenever I boots up. I tried the step above on odin and it is giving the following error:

May I know what does this mean and what else can I try?

Its been awhile since I used Odin (I used heimdall as I'm on linux...), but I think this means that Odin is having difficulty talking to your device. Have you checked that you have the right drivers installed? You could also try running Odin as administrator.
If this fails, another thing to try would be a One-Click - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Heimdall_One-Click
Good luck!

[Q] Help with possibly bricked samsung infuse 4g

So I was trying to root my phone and put CWM on it, but it's stuck on the samsun boot logo.
History:
Used SuperOneClick 2.3.1 and had root on my phone.
Followed the steps to copy the 3e recovery with no sig check on internal SD card.
Renamed old recovery to recovery.back.
Pasted 3e no sig check into directory and changed the attribs to match old recovery.
Rebooted phone and now it's stuck on the Samsung Logo.
Tried to boot up in recovery mode using the 3 button method, the Samsung logo keeps resetting. Tried many different times with no luck.
Downloaded GTG's Ultimate unlock but it's always stuck at this part:

Even made a usb jib, with an old cable and 300K ohm resistors, with no luck.
What else can I do to try to get this phone back up?

So, I've managed to get my phone on downloading mode using the jig. It's not getting detected by ODIN (device manage shows Unknown device).
What can I do now
Edit: so I got on a winXP pc and got it working.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

P3113 stick on "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"

So I was trying to wipe my tablet in order sell it. It had Cyanogenmod 9.0 on it. After I factory wiped, it was stuck in a boot loop. Wouldn't get past the Cyanogenmod boot screen before it rebooted.
So I tried going into CWM recovery and reflashing Cyanogenmod. Once I did that, it now boots up onto the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen and won't go to anything else.
If I try to put it into either recovery or download, it just turns off then goes back to the same screen. I've tried to use Kies to restore it and nothing. Tried Odin and this comes up

I had the same problem, kies didn't work, neither did odin. I used every fix suggestion I could find.
It finally dawned on me that the battery was holding everything in place. I took off the back of my Tab 2 and removed
the battery. I re-installed the battery after 10 minutes and was able to re install a stock rom. I hope thishelps.

Soft brick s5300 can boot into download

I followed a tutorial because its looked the best i had seen for a while and it had most the files included it was off this forum in the developers section so i booted my s5300 into download mode started up odin 3 and begin placing the files in the correct paths. Once in the correct paths i pressed start and here is what i get a fail? can anyone explain why this might be happening i think the old owner who gave me the brick said he had partioned it so he could use a custom rom ive booted into recovery mode and i see is it cyanmobile amd clockworkmod but i think the clockwork dont have any files? and something else anyway here is the code of the odin result any help would be very helpful has ive been up all night trying to repair it to no avail i dont know how much more i can take hehe?:laugh:
EDIT: might be worth mentioning it does still have a custom rom on the partition i can successfully install it boot when i reboot it just says onkey 7s reset?
