My galaxy gear is showing the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" screen. Is there anyway to recover from this? Neither Kies 3 nor Kies 2.6 is recognizing my device
.
Same here Odin doesn't do anything either. Has anyone else fixed this? Thanks!
About which Gear are you talking:
Gear 1, Gear 2 or Gear 2 Neo ?
Gear 1 . . . just downloaded an older firmware 4.2.2 and it installed using Odin 3 v185 so all good now

This didn't work for me. I used Odin3.07 and 4.2.2 stock ROM to flash first - I used PHONE option because the others didn't work (no progress in the message window). This 'faulty' flash came up with a 'UI stopped working error' when the Gear rebooted but I was able to get it into download mode now. I then used Odin 3.09 and the flashed the 4.2.2 as a PIT which worked fine!
Got there after reading through a lot of XDA threads and trying many things. But in the end, the answers were here. Thanks.
PS how I got into the mess (the firmware error message with the yellow triangle)? I was on null 23 and wanted to go back to stock rom so that I could sell the Gear. Couldn't get into download mode for Odin 3.09; I can't exactly remember what I did but I disconnected the gear midway through a seemingly failed flash and it got me to the error. Googling says use Kies but nope, it wouldn't recognise the gear even for the 'emergency firmware'. I tried a lot of things, and wasted a lot of time!

Worked perfectly, THANK YOU! After a few failed attempts at flashing my Gear I thought it was doomed, luckily after flashing the stock ROM back to it as you described I was successful at flashing the Tizen ROM. Thanks for your help!!

You're welcome. Glad to be of help.
I'm also having this issue.
can you share how to get odin recognise the gear, because now it's only showing yellow triangle with error text, and i cannot perform the step to go to download or recovery mode.
when i do long press on the gear it's only go black screen for awhile then back to error with yellow triangle.
thank you for the reply.
Update:
Already found solution, i just flash Null TWRP form odin and my gear return back to android, after that go to download mode, then flash to tizen.

I just ticked the PIT box and browsed to the ROM file. Using the older Odin, that got me past the error message.
I think there are so many variables, we've probably tried many different combination of things. I'm just describing what worked for me, I can't promise it'll work for anybody else. Just wanted to put it out there so that it may help someone.
This worked for me
youtube{dot}com{slash}watch?v=fS4878klPAQ[ ( i cant post links yet so you will have to fix up the url or youtube search "How to UnBrick Galaxy Gear"
You must down load his rom to start of with after that you should be right to upgrade with Kies to tizen then to tizenmod if wanted or just load Null or what ever but this should unbrick the little [email protected]#$%^&*. Wish you luck

That doesn't make any sense. Odin 3.09 asks for either a .pit file or an .xml file if you choose PIT.
How do you perform the null flash twrp? Could you give step by step guide. I got Odin 3 v18 too. firmware ready.

Hello everyone, and thanks for taking the time to attempt to help me.
Earlier today, my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 updated to 5.1.1. I searched google and came across a few links on how to root my phone (G900T) - The one I ended up using was CF-AutoRoot
I used Odin 3.07, used the tar5 file from that site above where I downloaded the root, and attempted to root the phone. Odin says everything worked as planned ''passed'' was displayed with 0 fails. I waited about 20 minutes, but my phone never rebooted, it was stuck in a boot logo loop ' 'Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by Android'' or ''T-Mobile'' was displayed.
I tried going into recovery and reseting all data / factory wipe but that didn't help, and made it even worse. Now my phone says this when I try to turn it on: ''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''
How do I go about getting back to stock firmware , that is rootable, so I can then proceed to install CyanogenMod?
EDIT: I used Kies and was able to get back to stock firmware and the phone turns on.
Can anyone recommend a reliable root for the G900T S5?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
It's good to hear that you managed to revive your phone. Many of us find it convenient to install a custom recovery such as TWRP which makes backing up and restoring, switching ROMs, and many such activities much easier. XDA happens to have an active and friendly area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S5, and specifically to the T-Mobile version at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5. I suggest you search that area or simply post your question in the Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help where our experts will be most likely to be able to guide you.
my samsung tablet went through a tough time because it had no os and wasnt installing one so i went to odin and downloaded the stock rom then flashed it by odin while my tab was connected in download mode. suddenly the connection got unplugged while installing the new rom leaving me with a black screen. the real issue here is that i cant save my tab because it doesnt get to recovery nor download mode so im basically left with a useless piece of junk. i think there is a way to get it back because my computer recognizes it but odin doesnt. if i could get it to boot into download mode, i can get it back. but i dont know how...
my tab is samsung galaxt tab 3 lite sm t111.
pls help urgent!!!

Hi, I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Core 2 (SM-G355H). I tried to install the official firmware for this model that I get from SamMobile by using Odin, and everything went good, no "failed" and it was showed PASS as it should. But then when I tried to reboot it, it just didnt reboot. Now I can enter to download mode, but not into recovery mode or just start it normally. Are there any possible solutions? I would really appreciate any help.

cwm not working it just shows open android chest sign but no options in recovery menu.

bought this second hand verizon galaxy s3 4.4.2, rooted it with towelroot, and flashed twrp using twrp manager and when i tried to boot into recovery, i had a warning sign that software has been tampered with and i should contact verizon for help, i tried to recover using a stock rom with odin but it fails each time, i did some researcch for many hour without success.
sometimes the screen tells me to use software repair assistant, i was able to download it but it never detected the phone, just sits there while phone is connected, btw drivers have been successfuly installed.
i tried kies, didn't work either.
i know now that it had to do with locked bootloader, but this is my first verizon phone.
please any help will be appreciated!
Edit and solved!!!
