[Q] Having trouble upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I have an ATT Samsung SGH-i727 running 2.3.6.
I tried to update it to 4.1.2 stock ATT with Kies, but Kies did not work; it said it could not contact the upgrade server.
So I downloaded Odin 1.85, downloaded ATT stock 4.1.2, and selected the ROM with the PDA button and pressed start. Auto reboot and Reset time were checked.
An hour or two passed and Odin was hanging on system.img.ext4. It never completed. I rebooted, and now it is stuck in "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please selecte recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried starting over in Odin, but it says that the write operation failed when it gets to system.img.ext4.
Any guidance on how to get this working?
Thanks!
P.S. Here is the full log from Odin after trying again:

Re-download the Odin file. It's probably a bad download. Check it's md5 after downloading.

go through the troubleshooting section here [HOWTO] NEWB GUIDES To: | RESTORE TO STOCK
note: in your log this line
"<OSM> KIES_HOME_I727UCMC1_I727ATTMC1_844945_REV02_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 is valid"
there is a space between "l" and "o" in the word "low", did you edit the file name b4 using odin or is the space there because of the copy/paste to the post.
if I had to guess it would be driver issues since odin confirmed the md5 was ok, but go through the trouble shooting section from above link

Also a trick I've learned with Odin, instead of just double clicking to open, right click and select run as administrator. haven't had a hang on it since using this method. Maybe that will help.

Fixed
Redownloaded firmware using link in troubleshooting guide and updated successfully. Thanks.

Getting Galaxy Ace GT-5839i back to stock

I tried putting on the jellyblast rom for the GT-5830i onto this phone (I heard they have the same hardware) but unfortunately it did not go so well and now the phone hangs at the Galaxy Ace logo screen. So now the problem is getting the stock firmware back onto the phone - I have downloaded the Vodafone stock firmware for the phone (UK) from sammobile.com and tried to flash it with Odin.
I have tried with Odin v1.85 and v1.87 although they both fail:

I am using the totoro_0623 pit file as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811196 and then just using the PDA file. I check the Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes when I attempt this.
I found another method also using Kies through "Firmware upgrade and initialization" - I add "GT-S5839i" as the model name (which it accepts) and my S/N but then it complains that "the model information that you have entered cannot be verified; the device initialization cannot proceed".
I am at a loss as to what to do now, tried using the back ports on my desktop and the supplied USB cable to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Additionally, in recovery it mentions that it fails to mount /system, and rfs format fails when wiping data and cache whilst in recovery.

With a different cable it gets to the modem part of the flashing then bsod's my computer with pfn_list_corrupt (happened twice in a row at the same point). What is going on here?
Problem solved, google "Galaxy Ace S5830i Flasher& PIT file 100%work" if you have the same issues as me.

Problems using philz_touch files to root tab

I'm trying to follow this thread to root my tab but something is going wrong. I have downloaded the latest for my tab, load the philz_touch_5.0.5-p1143.tar.md5 in odin and have put the zip on my external sd card. The issue is the firmware never seems to load correctly in the first stage to get me to the point that I can continue on to step two which is flashing the zip file from the sd card. I start odin and load the tar file with pda selected, boot the tab into download mode and connect it to the computer. Odin shows it connected and i click start...after a few seconds and showing progress of it uploading the file it says passed with a green box and reboots the tab for me. Now I'm suppose to go to step two and use the new recovery that should have been uploaded to flash the philz_touch zip file but it's the same old factory recovery and not the new one that odin was suppose to upload so i can flash from the sd card.
Hardware: P5113

GT-P5100 Firmware upgrade encountered an issue

Hi everybody, I tried to upgrade my GT-P5100 to 4.2.2 but something went wrong and now I have a black screen with this message:

Probably I have selected Re-Partition but I didn't have a PIT file
The tablet had the stock rom and was not rooted.

Can you help me?
Please if I need some more files write me all the links to download them, because many of them were hosted by hotfile and are no more downloadable...
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
That´s the Black-Screen of Death! Downloadmode is on in this window Connect to your PC, Odin will get your device
There should be no Problem with the file itself "<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully.." - bad download will give another output because the MD5 is not valid if it´s broken.
Make sure you uninstall KIES before using Odin and run Odin as Administrator !!!
Kies in installed and Odin is executed as administrator
So what should I do?

Hi all. I have the same problem. A message "Firmware .... an issue" Tried different Odin versions. With 3.07 and 3.10 versions looks like flashing is ok, Odin shows no errors. But nothing on the tablet, there's not status bar. And when flashing finished, Odin shows no errors. But tablet really not flashed. What the problem can be? Who can help?

try this link, it is stock firmware.
further if it can't solve by just flashing firmware, you can try pit file. but be careful before flashing this with odin, be sure of what it will do, there are guides to explain the proper process.

I have the exact same problem, tried different odin versions, flashed the stock firmware, also tried different pc's, but no solution.
this is the error I keep getting on odin, Tried Kies it says P3100 does not support initializing. A friend says maybe its a motherboard issue, is that possible or just a firmware problem? What should I do next?
This is the error I get in ODIN.

[Q] Win7 GT-P5110 Kies drivers & Odin - try to recovery stock image

I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT-P5110) of which the tablet did not startup anymore, and know nothing about the prehistory.
I downloaded stock firmware from samsung site: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P5110
and downloaded the latest EUR version named : P5110XXDMI1_P5110OXXDMJ1_HOME.tar.md5
With Odin 3.07 I installed that image in download mode with default options left on. After that I got the following screen message on the tablet:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Probably something went wrong. Then I downloaded Kies from samsung site, installed it with all extra drivers and I got the problem that Kies never recognized the tablet. Reinstalled many times, tried different options, but the problem persisted (took me 8 hours totally). Battery of the tablet was fully loaded and before this problem I saw that it was loading correctly.
Then I read this excellent document : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
Tried again with Odin 3.07 and 1.85 and could install the image with only the reboot option on in Odin, flashed successfully the image, but still the problem:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I do not have much options left to look for. I was thinking about:
- driver issue
- wrong image
- wrong method
Can somebody help me to have this problem fixed ? I am willing to reinstall Windows 7 on this laptop.
Really nobody knows ?
never had problems here on Windows 8.
Maybe try flashing using Heimdall
But will I need a Heimdall image for that, because it does not accept the samsung image.

I am located in The Netherlands, and downloaded the specific image for the Netherlands, region PHN, used Odin 3.07 to install it, but still the same problem.
What can I do, wait for somebody who can give me a hint ? This is the first time I do a recovery of a Samsung tablet, and don't know how to continue with it.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Maybe not the ideal situation, but try installing a custom recovery and a custom rom
If this works, it's no hardware problem.
You can use this guide to install a custom recovery

I'm dealing with almost the same issue, except for my ODIN flashes it doesn't even succeed. I know this happened to it after I tried to use heimdall to update my CWM, but I have had no success getting anything to work. I've been without a tablet for like a week now, doing everything I can think of or find a walk through for. I mean for me, I wouldn't mind going back to stock as long as it works again.

Forgot to mention that I'm using Odin 3.09 on a p5113. Not that it makes huge difference.
Two things to try:
If you can boot into recovery, try the factory reset.
If not, have you tried Kies recovery mode?
The problem is that I can only boot into the special download mode, if I could get into recovery I think I could figure it out. I have tried the kies recovery, but it won't even read the device.
Maybe because Samsung / KIES Process running in background on your PC?

Try flashing with .pit file, partitioning set to on. Should correct partition problems. Somebody might have installed a non-android OS that botched. Look for a .pit file around the forum, you should find one. Good luck.
Thank you
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot and post back with results!
Sorry for the late reply
Hey guys, I could have sworn that I posted back on Friday, but it's not here. Anyway, it's been a crazy few days for me traveling and school starting and all that.
About the tablet, I downloaded a pit file and it looked like it was going to work, but unfortunately it did not. I'm working on getting the tablet charged and set up to try again because I got a zip that had 2 pit files, so I'll try the other one soon. I'll post the results when I get them, thanks again for all the help!
Still not working, but I think some progress
Sorry to take so long responding, it's been a busy week.
So I just attempted to flash the .pit again, and it failed. Here's what Odin gave:

It says, "There is no PIT," but that's what I'm trying to flash, right? I'm a little confused, but I hope someone knows what that means.
Thanks for all the help guys!
New info!
So today I was messing around with the .pit file that I had, and I used an editor to make it exactly the same as one I found in another forum. After Odin told me that it failed, I went to reset the tablet, and it showed me the Galaxy Tab 2 screen, which it has not done for a few weeks now. Then I plugged it in and it shows the battery charging symbol. Currently it is a 18%, so I'm going to let it charge and then try booting it up again and see what I get. Hopefully all is well now, but we shall see here in a few hours.
I also was not aware that I needed to flash the system along with the pit, and once I had that going it made a little more sense to me.
I'm going to try to post that pit here if anyone wants it. Hopefully it will help someone else in the future.
Odin Flashed, but failed
So I got into normal old download mode on the device using that .pit file. Yay! However upon attempting to flash the stock os back on Odin gave me this:

I'm going to look into other avenues, but this did set me back to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue... blah blah"

[Completed] Soft bricked Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505

Recently I was trying to flash a firmware to update from Android Jellybean 4.3 to 5.0.1 lollipop. Ended up soft-bricking my phone.
Here's what I have already tried:
1. Do not tell me to change the USB cable/port, as it worked completely fine to root my phone the day before it got bricked.
2. I downloaded what (I think) is the stock firmware of my phone, and tried to flash it with Odin (3.07, 3.09 and 3.10.6) and a PIT file. (Gave an error without the PIT)
Here's the logs of what happens:

It fails, and nothing happens. Sometimes on the phone's screen, it also shows "SV REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4, Binary : 3" in one of the lines. Not sure what it means.
3. I tried flashing the PIT file without a PDA, and it succeeds, but then it gets stuck in the start-screen boot loop.
4. I cannot go into recovery mode, I've tried it but it didn't work. (Home button + Power + Vol Up.) I can only go into download mode..
Please help me.

Well.. ever since it was bricked, I can't seem to find it in the device manager at all, though Odin does seem to recognize my device.
Also, I reinstalled Samsung Kies and the drivers several times, but it always gets stuck on "connecting device" each time on Kies.

After trying to update Kies drivers once more, now it shows under Modems as "Samsung Mobile USB Modem #5"

After updating drivers with an ADB-based toolkit, it doesn't show in the device manager again.
Someone please help.. I'm running out of options..

I've already tried the procedure in that thread, and after failing several times, I decided to start a thread here..
Anyway thanks, I'll open a new thread in the board you provided.
