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,
> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question
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.

Where to start...
First, as a disclaimer, I may use language or terms that sound noobish. I have rooted and run custom ROMs on several devices in the past, however generally when I get a ROM I like I stick with it, so I'm not constantly tinkering. I've done my best to search and find solutions so please go easy on me.
17 days ago I was running stock 4.3 on my SGNII when the battery died. Upon charging I found I was stuck in bootloop and had a bad /efs mount. I searched and searched and spent around 15 hours trying this and that but to no avail. I finally threw my hands in the air and got ahold of Josh at mobiletechvideos and he was able to fix the efs mount issue. However, he left me in factory mode which required me to root to get out of, and once I did this I was unable to activate data on my carrier (Ting). I was so happy to have my phone "back" though that I used it like this for 4 or 5 days. I could get on wifi and I could call and send text messages. I had been off the grid so this felt like something I'd fix fully later.
Well I kept reading and found "fix" after "fix", flashed this and that and still no dice. FINALLY, last night, I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 which helped immensely. I was able to get TWRP flashed by unchecking the "auto-reboot" option in Odin and pulling the battery after the update took, and via TWRP I was able to install the ROM. I booted up, the device activated, I was running 4.1.2, I made and received some calls, the birds were chirping, the air was sweet...
I had struggled for so long and I had finally achieved success! Then, for seemingly no reason at all, I accepted an OTA update which bricked my Note2. Devastation.
The current state of things...
* Cannot get past the initial "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen
* Cannot boot into recovery
* I CAN get into dl mode,
* but, I CANNOT successfully flash anything. TWRP will flash like it took, but upon reboot I'm not able to boot into it. I'm also able to flash a ROM but it fails when it gets to sbin, and upon rebooting I'm greeted by the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
When I try to use Kies it doesn't find the device. I've installed all of the most recent drivers and I'm running Kies as administrator. I select Tools > Emergency Firmware Recovery, THEN connect my device as instructed.
I'm at the apex of frustration. I beg thee to help!!

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.

after few minutes later, the odin says "fail!" arrgghhhh!
i've been spending my whole time in order to fix this phone but it always fails, again and again
so please, tell me the right solution to fix this phone, thanks
Hi,
A couple quick ideas.... Try a different cable. A different USB port. A different PC if possible. Make sure you have the correct firmware file. Makes use Kies is not running... End any processes of kies in task manager, or uninstall it. Try another Odin version.
If not of that helps, you can ask for help here,

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...

Good luck!
The phone shows " Firmware upgrade issue encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I cant go to recovery mode ie. vol up+home+power. THings I have tried:
1. with Kies the device isnt recognised. I have updated the driver as well.
2. with odin every thing fails... flashing "all samsung recovery.tar", flashing stock jelly bean, flashing .pit file
I have googled for days and tried many things but isnt working. Need help
