I tried everything, I've flashed stock roms with odin and it always comes out as "failed" now i have a screen that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery in kies and try again" but i still can access the download boot but not recovery boot. Please help
Hi,
When using Odin, make sure kies is not running. Or Odin will fail. Go to processes on your PC and end any kies process.
Here is a return to stock guide...

My sim card wasnt working and to fix that i decided to format my phone by flashing Stock ROM using Odin [I had root], running on Cyanogenmod. While doing so, it was taking a hell lot of time and I didnt know what to do, so i pulled the cable and restarted the phone and this message came on: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
So i did that using kies, followed the procedure..downloaded the firmware to the computer, blah blah, but while "transferring that to the mobile phone" procedure, it got stuck at 0% and for hours it wont move!!
I tried using Odin again, but it just dont work!!
Please help me!!..I cant even go to my phone now..my (Home + Power button + Volume down) is accessible, but not recovery.
Hi,
Asking here in this help thread in your device section would be best,

A couple ideas too.... Try a different version of Odin. Also, Odin usually fails if Kies is running. End all kies processes in the task manager on the pc. Try a different cable and USB port on your PC. And forget kies, it won't work if your rooted or are not completely stock.
Again, for more help, ask in the thread I linked above.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
ok this is how it all started. my galaxy s4 19505. was rooted but then every day apps would mysteriously uninstall. at random. and apps would unexpectedly close at random then be stuck in a loop of pressing ok to confirm it closed. this was starting to bug me so i wanted to fix this. i then looked to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 or 5 i tried to upload a new rom via odin. but it wasnt working. it was an authorisation fail. so then i thought id reset it to a factory wipe. so i wiped cache and wiped data. now its stuck with the error message of kernel is not seandroid enforcing. and it gets stuck at the samsung logo.
i can still access the root menu to update. but when i update it says unauthorized access and something like bad footer and no authorisation. i can still upload but on odin i have the same problem a fail in the authorisation.
please help!!
i also forgot to mention that i cant carry anything onto the sd card ive got. i do have a spare but the other one is my 64gb one. its not letting me transfer anything and i cant format it.
Hi,
Odin is used to flash original stock firmware, not custom roms. But maybe you know that.
Here us a dedicated help thread for your device that you can ask for help in,

i really appriciate all help...
Hi,
If you flashed stock firmware again with Odin, twrp should be gone, and Stock recovery should have been restored. So I suggest you didn't flash the full firmware, or it was modified firmware.
Also, you could try flashing CWM Recovery instead for your device, or a different twrp version even.
Any help on anything further, please ask in this dedicated help thread for your device,

HI,
I am having Samsung galaxy grand2 sm-g7102 INS 4.3 ANDROID.
Three month back i rooted my phone. I did using some you tube videos later i am not feeling comfortable with the rooted device. so i plan to unroot it. I removed the super user from my mobile and i downloaded the firmware from sammobile and odin3 v3.09. All the connections from my mobile to PC is working nicely. Before installing the official ROM i tried to make my phone into recovery mode by pressing power+vol up+home then recovery boot screen comes and suddenly mobile gets off. So i thought it will take time to get the list of wipe factory mode and clear cache. I waited for more than 1 hour nothing has come still mobile in off. I am worried my mobile got some critical problem so i did not try it again. My question is it's a usual thing while unrooting the mobile or it has some critical problem.
Hi,
You use download mode to flash with Odin, not recovery mode. Also, Kies should not be running when you use Odin. Kill all kies processes in your task manager on the pc.
I've read about not being able to downgrade, or you will brick and other device specific warnings, so best to ask for further help from the experts who own your device, here...

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4, model SM-N910A. I tried downgrading to 4.4.4 from Lollipop, only to find myself get to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen.
I have tried flashing stock lollipop back on to my phone using Odin, to no avail. I'm Positive they were for my model. So I turned to Kies 3. The "Emergency firmware recovery" option does not pick up my phone in it, so i tried "firmware upgrade and initialization". Fails to upgrade the software every time. What I think is the problem there is that Kies tells me its going to go back to 4.4.4, which cannot be done with the bootloader locked how it is.
From here, I have lost all hope. So I am here, hoping someone can save my ruined day.
