My galaxy S3 is stuck on download mode I am rooted and was trying to flash stock firmware and become unrooted but while flashing it gives me an error "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." while in odin it gives it was unable to connect to device odin detects the device at the top it says com and stuff but i think it has something to do with debugging mode and since I cant boot the phone up normally I cant enable debugging. Any help on this issue would be great

I should have been in bed hours ago, if you tell us what version you had on the phone before you flashed and what version you tried to flash I bet some one will help you and you will be on a usable phone before I wake up.

If your not sure post what you see in the same format you see it in download mode.

Hi there,
I was flashing my Samsung infuse 4g and my little brother grabbed the USB cable. so everything got messed up!
when I connect the phone to my computer this message shows up "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
I've tried to do that and nothing seemed to be working
I've tried to flash another ROM but the problem is that the phone won't go into download mode so I can use Odin.
Please help!

I had to flash the ClockworkMod-Recovery first because it didn't accept any ROM.
It worked just fine. now I'm running the AoCP 6.4 ROM and the phone is way way faster than before
Thank you so much! )))))
Hi, I'm new and do not know if I put the post in the right place. Forgive. I have a I9100 with 4.1.2 official rom, no root and no usb debugging enabled. One day is automatically restarted and stayed in bootloop. I had no access to recovery, but yes in download mode. I tried multiple ways I found on Google, but without success. I can not retrieve it with kies. probe reinstall the recovery again and nothing, try adb and not worked. With odin can not flash with pit. When turned on I get the message that there has been a problem with the firmware and recover with kies, but can not. It is impossible to save him?
Sorry with my English.
Thank you.

You can flash custom recovery from bootloader mode
I do not have access to bootloader mode. Display show "Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue ..." when I try to enter recovery mode / bootloader mode

In this case, perhaps a JTAG service might be able to help you. Try if there is one in your region.
If that doesn't work you can sell it by pieces.
Thanks for your ideas. I'll see what I do ...
Hey,
I just flashed the firmware from another region and I have no idea why but it has failed at the end of the transfert.
Now I've got the blue screen saying that I need to connect my device to my computer and use the Emergency recovery function in SmartSwatch but it doesnt recognise my device...
I tried to reinstall the driver, change the usb port but it keeps failing!
Any idea?
I still have access to the download mode but when I try with the same file it failed, I'll try to download another firmware to see if it works.
Thanks
Connect it to Kies on your computer and use Kies factory firmware recovery setting to get your phone back up and running.
Neither Kies, Kies3 or Smart Swatch was able to see my device???
However I was able to flash the firmware using Odin :good:
I may try to re-download and install again a firmware from another region but it's pretty scary now
Yeah I know it's pretty stupid but I really want this TWRP to be working^^

Ok now I have download but no software recognises my phone and Odin fails...
By forcing my mobile to go into download mod (push Home Button + Volume Down+Power) after a couple of attempts it finally goes into the download mod.
If you can go into the download mod but OdinPC still doesn't work you have to try with another computer but if you can't go into download mod....
Hope you can fix it
even i have the same issue with my phone, its not detected by smart switch or any kies at all and now my phone is just a brick, plz help.
did you try to downgrade your os?
if so you need a firmware equal or bigger than the one you installed.
once you enter your sn in smart switch it will start downloading fw for your phone, and store it temporary in a temp folder.
From there you can copy fw to some other location on your disk, and flash it via Odin.
Use odin to load the stock AP file. Solve my problem.
Hi,

I tried to flash with Odin and it failed when it was at the point of "NAND write". i was stuck at the download screen. after turning of the phone i got the Message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery moder in Kies & try again." Kies cant connect to the phone so i cant do anything there. Odin is still recognizing my phone but now i dont know what i can and should do?

What's your computer's O/S and what version of Kies do you have?
I'm not sure if my phone is soft bricked or hard bricked. My phone was having some kind of firmware issues so like an idiot and not backing anything up, I tried to flash a stock firmware on my phone with odin and it failed. My phone is not rooted or anything it is complete stock and now when I try to boot up the phone I'm not sure if it goes into recovery automatically or what but when I turn it on it goes to this screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". If this is not recovery mode then I can only go in download mode I have tried going into recovery mode. I've tried odin several times, using different usb cables and different usb ports on my computer and still nothing, I have used Samsung Kies and Kies 3 they both fail and then tell me that I need to do emergency recovery from another computer with a code but it is just blank when it comes up it does not give me any codes. I've even went to Tools > Emergency firmware recovery and still shows no codes or anything it is still blank.
Suggestions?
I fixed it, for anyone who may have the similar problem this will help you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-sm-s975l-twrp-4-4-2-custom-roms-t3009757
For me, all I needed to do was flash twrp recovery and my phone started working again so I decided not to mess with anything else
