I am having trouble getting Odin flash to Pass. I am not new to the software, have done it many times on many different phones. I am using Odin 1.85 and placing SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane.tar in the PDA slot with only Re-Boot checked just as stated but it freezes everytime I get to system.img.ext4.
Hence I am soft bricked and stuck in download mode with the yellow triangle ! showing.
Anyone else having this issue or know of a way to fix?
Things I have tried:
Different Computer
Different USB Slot
Different USB Cable
Different .tar download links
Kies will not acknowledge the phone
Just out of curiosity did you extract the 7zip?

I'm having the same exact problem, followed the procedures and ODIN failed.
It says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue and KIES wont recognize it either
and i did extract the 7zip for the TAR file
Phone is just stuck now
Help please

I was stuck there just a little while ago. Will it boot into the warning screen where you press volume up to continue to download mode or straight to the "please connect to kies" screen?

Before it got stuck, it booted into the warning screen then i could continue into download mode
NOW, it just sits in "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
change computer, if you can
got it to work
i used a older version of Odin, version 1.3
Worked perfect.
Thanks for your help guys
I'm having the same problem. I'm stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." Odin (both 1.3 and 1.85) hangs at system.img.ext4. Thanks in advance for any help.
Having the same problem, looking forward to some advice.
What exactly is happening and what exactly have you tried?

I'm having this problem as well.
I flashed to CM9 nightly and got it working beautifully before I realized I cannot access my Kies backup to retrieve my contacts and pictures.
Tried to return to stock and it hangs on <ID:0/003> system.img.ext4 with maybe 5% of the status bar complete.
I've attempted to re-download the rom as well as reinstalling the drivers. If I cancel the flash I'm able to reflash CWM using oden and use CWM to flash CM9 to get the phone functional again. This might help anyone with a bricked phone.
I've tried this several times, sometimes it will hang on recovery.img as well. Any help with this would be appreciated. I'll try downloading an older version of oden as recommended above and trying it that way. I'll also try a different computer.
Edit:
To add to this I was able to get Kies to recognize the phone at one point. I then tried to do a firmware recovery and it errors out saying there is an error with the device. Not sure if this means anything as Kies appears to be the crappiest software I've come across in a long time, It won't even detect my untouched Galaxy Tab 8.9 (SGH-i957) at all.
Edit2:
Just copied everything over to my laptop and tried again. Flashed without issue using odin 1.87 after installing kies. Problem appears to be a driver/connection problem on the computer end. Kinda weird as I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers with no success on my desktop. Phone kept looping the ATT "Rethink Possible" boot animation. Had to go into the stock recovery and wipe partition and factory reset. Then it started up fine and is running with 2.3.5
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!

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.

I got my GNP 12.2 (SM-P900) a few weeks ago and just tried to root it using Odin and download.chainfire.eu/384/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.zip
However it paused at cache.img and after 10 minutes or so it just failed.
I've tried it a few times, but same thing, and on start up all I get is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I tried Kies 3 and Kies 2.6 but they both say my device is not supported, even if I try to go into Tools and do it it says the model name is incorrect and doesn't even give me an option to enter the serial number :-\
I looked around for a stock ROM but the closest I could find was the P901 and P905 (But I am the P900)
I don't really know what to do, so any advice would be much appreciated :angel:
Actually got Kies working, was just entering the model # wrong
This could probably be deleted / etc, not really sure how to do that

bump?
I'm having the same exact issue. I can get it into download mode. I've tried Kies several times and it keeps failing. Originally, I was using odin 3.07 to auto root on the sm-p900. During the process, the screen got this weird rainbow pixelated look, and odin told me the process has failed. It is now stuck on the error message "Firmware update has encountered an issue..."
Now I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried to reboot from download mode, and that sends me right back to the error message.
Any ideas?

IIRC you need to reflash recovery and you should be able to boot up again.

I'm sorry if I sound stupid but how do I reflash the recovery? I keep searching for a recovery ROM but I can't find anything, so I must be misunderstanding something here.

Thank you very much. In case anyone else is wondering. I ended up asking the problem with Samsung kies, using the upgrade feature rather than emergency recovery. Wiped all my data but u have my tablet back.
Kind of wondering what went wrong with the root attempt. I followed the instructions to the T.

Did you use Odin 3.0.7 or 3.0.9? 3.0.7 is included with CF and MUST be used even though 3.0.9 is the latest. If odin was already installed on your PC and you used 3.0.9 bad things are going to happen.

I myself have tried odin 3.07 and .09 and mine just hangs when cache is being written to. A full green bar but will not move pass the cache portion of the install.

I tried both as well, and that's exactly what happened to me. During the process, my screen went all screwy and that's when it told me the process had failed.
I had some of the problems mentioned above. My attempt to flash CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 failed using Odin3-v3.07.exe.
It tries for several minutes and then says failed.
I then used Kies (not Kies 3) to reflash the tablet to factory settings. Here its important to know that Kies will never "connect" you have to ignore that and go to tools and "firmware upgrade and initialization". Google "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue” – Got This Error While", the first result on "droidviews" is the guide i used to fix this.
I then went into the settings and enabled "USB Debugging". Something i had forgotten before. I tried to flash the root file again, but it still failed.
Given that i was able to reflash the firmware with kies, i would say my USB port / cable / drivers must all be good.
What else should i try?
Flash Stock Recovery

For those getting stuck or failing root, Make sure your usb drivers are updated in Kies 3 then flash stock recovery in Odin 3.07. Don't get mixed up with stock firmware (over 1GB) and stock recover (only around 20MB).
Stock recovery is here:

Question, what is the purpose of the Stock recovery and CWM recovery?
Also, after trying three times, i was able to get the flash to work. After each failier i used Kies (not kies 3) to flash back to factory. Would these recoveries have helped? Maybe i wouldn't have lost data?

Stock recovery is what your device originally comes with. CWM recovery is a modified version of that and it allows you more functionality.
When I messed up my update and root, my device would not boot up at all. I flashed the stock recovery and that enabled me to successfully root. No data was lost, no factory reset was needed and all my apps and settings were unchanged.
Don't mean to bump this thread, but I'm having the same issue. Odin 3.07 hangs up when it gets to cache.img, and it's non-responsive. I don't care about rooting it, I just want a stock firmware back. I've tried the files that Russbad posted, same issue. Running Note Pro 12. SM-P900 on 4.4.2.

Try this: With your device unplugged from your PC, open Kies 3, go to tools tab and uninstall the drivers. Then plug your device in and reinstall drivers.
I don't know if it makes a difference but if you get your device to boot up, enable developer options and check USB debugging.
Also make sure you are using the cables that came with your Tablet.
Then flash stock recovery and flash stock firmware.
If it still fails, check that your downloaded firmware and recovery are not corrupted, download them again.
Also try these procedures using different USB ports.
Good luck!

I found the issue, it should work with everyone with it. Some people don't have the .md5 extension enabled in their archive viewer, so by simply removing the .md5 (left with CF_XXXX.tar), and flashing that it works 100% fine.

I finally got mine rooted by simply trying over and over. I re-downloaded the CF flash tool and used 7zip to extract it several times, and used a different usb port at least once. Not that I really thought there was a problem with my extraction or the download or my USB port. But from what i have seen posted, you just have to try it 3 or 4 (maybe even 10) times until you get lucky and it works.
I did at one point try to recover my Note 12.2 with the "recovery.img" instead of flashing it with a full factory re-image (which causes data loss) but that didn't work for me ether. But I later had good luck with using Odin 3.09 to flash TWRP. So at least I now have a good custom recovery and backup tool.
okay everyone, I'm going to try these methods and report on what happened. Thank you for being so helpful. :cyclops:

FINALLY! :laugh: I got it to root!
I ended up using a different computer in the end and used Kies 2.6 for the drivers. I tried this a total of maybe 8 or 9 times, and it worked on the second attempt on the second attempt.
For the record, I left "md5" in the file when rooting, and that's when it worked.
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.

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!
