Gents,
Newbie here (apologies). I have a sm-p900 wifi. I tried to root (odin 3.09 and CF-Auto root) and ended up with a brick. Now tab will only display error message: " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". Will not turn off (hold pwr button turns off and then turns back on).
Tried these resets:
pwr + up/down+home (says "warning a custom os can cause critical problems.......). options r up/down both lead back to error above
pwr + up = same
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've seen that before. The tablet behaves that way after a failed attempt to root.
I'd go through the cf autoroot thread again and look for stock recovery, get back into download mode and reflash stock recovery, reboot into recovery with the tablet disconnected and then reboot the device. It should then boot fully into stock unrooted state, after which you can try to root again by following the cf autoroot thread directions. If root attempts continue to fail I'd redownload all root packages and retry.

I was in your shoes (exactly) a couple of days ago. What finally helped to unbrick the device was Kies3.
Go to Tools, then Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, enter Model name(SM-P900), then S/N(on the back of the tablet).
Follow the rest of the instructions, agree to everything, and after a long while you will be unbricked and upgraded to the latest Samsung's kernel version. Good Luck!
Can we try again to root the device with this kernel installed? Does someone know?
I straight up love your ass!

I bricked mine as well. This worked. I WOULD kiss you, but it's not possible through the internet.
Seriously, Thank you very much. You are a life saver.

I think that screen is download mode. Try using odin 3.07 and flash the firmware again.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda premium

Same here. Flashed successfully with Odin 3.07
Hello,
same problem here. With no success. Please help!
I flashed succesfully with Odin 1.85.
Ok, so I tried to root my phone using odin and cf auto but at the end of the process when my phone got rebooted I was stuck on the logo screen for ages and this small red text showed at the top saying something like recovery is not seandroid enforcing. So after searching through solutions I tried formatting the phone but when I tried to go into recovery mode it just rebooted back to the logo screen. So I then tried to reinstall the firmware but after doing this Odin said failed and then my phone got rebooted and is now stuck on the message "An error has ccured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." But Samsung Kies and Smart Switch says my device is not supported and when I try to go into recovery or download mode the phone just turns of and goes back to the error screen. Can anyone please help me. This is a new phone and my parents would kill me if they found out I screwed it up already.

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.

Put your phone in download mode and use odin to flash ROM. It will work.
Good luck
1) smartswitch or kies wont work at all because you already tripped your knox
2) recovery is not seandroid enforcing <- this text shows you have custom recovery installed.
3) you possibly didnt turned knox off. settings>lock screen and security > find my mobile> there will be an option to switch it off
now solution
1st of all you havent bricked it! its soft bricked and not hard bricked(hard brick wont even turn on)
what you can do is let the battery drain off totally charge it and try to put it in download mode > odin > flash stock rom first(important step).
from there try to turn it on if it does you great. and dont use cf auto root if you are not familiar with it download some other roms which are way better than stock touchwiz,pre rooted and way better than it(like the note5 rom for s6 by arter).
by the way keycombinations >
downloadmode = vol down+home+power to switch off download mode vol down+ power only
recoverymode= vol up+home+ power
if you can put it in download mode follow my steps and hopefully you can,just keep trying

My phone wont go into download mode. When I press the button combination, the phone reboots and goes back into the screen saying the software error again. And the first time I tried to flash stock the phone is how the error message came up.

Ok so I let my phone completely drain of charge, then the second I put it on charge, the phone goes to the software error screen. Download mode just reboots phone into the error screen and recovery mode doesn't seem to do anything. Ill see if Odin recognizes the phone though
Ahm probably you missed something that could help you resolve your issue in much less time.
1. Press Vol Down + Power Button for 5 seconds until it reboots. After the screen is off then quickly switch to Vol down + Home + Power button to access download mode.
It is the key combination to safemode but it your case, it will just force restart your phone. No need to drain your battery.
2. Maybe most of the newbies always missed this part before doing anything to their phone. Backup (either on smart switch or Nandroid*best option)
3. You need to have proper samsung usb drivers installed and check in odin if your phone was recognized.
The only thing I see from your first post is that the firmware installation (odin) was interrupted. Please let it finished installing before doing anything in ur phone. Check faulty usb ports/usb cables to ensure your pc/laptop works well with ur s6.
Let us know how if u still encounter any issues.

do as the guy above said in 1st step thats a key step to put it in download mode
Thank you guys
The phone is all good now. It turns out that the software error screen was also the download mode. So I flashed the stock rom and everything is fine now. Thanks for the help.

Even though knox is tripped you can use smartswitch.
I know this because I have done it.
I rooted my phone, installed custom kernel, etc.
I then broke the screen, and since it was a hardware issue, I got it covered by my phone provider. (I am in Aus, we have different warranty laws compared to the USA.)
But I had to return it to stock. So I used Smartswitch to do so, even with knox tripped.
Hi all,
the last flashing process was a while back. I must have been a little rusty... Anyway, I today tried to install the 6.0.1 compatible TWRP Recovery on my Galaxy S6 920F and made several mistakes in the process using Odin 3.10.7 on my Windows PC (flashed a wrong file in AP, it was an .img and not a tar.md5). Now I'm still in the Download Mode and can't exit it at all. I tried the Home Button + Vol Up + Vol Down like 1000 times, but it still won't work. It really seems to be stuck. Odin finds the device, but when I try to re-flash the recovery the right way (at least I hope it is), it tries to establish a connection before flashing and after that it's stuck, too.
On my device the last lines are: B:2 K:2 S:2
What can I do? Is there a way to bring this device back to life? Thanks in advance for any help! :highfive:
For some reason after more than an hour it finally worked. But I pressed POWER + Vol Up + Vol Down? Is that right? Doesn't matter, it worked.
It's all the buttons combo to exit download mode. You forgot home button.

Hi everyone,
I followed the guide about the root for my S7 ITV. I've done everything step by step and flashed with odin the cf-autoroot.
When rebooted I had a blackscreen and and this error "bootloader exception", with the impossibility to enter in bootloader mode with the botton combination.
Found a way to return to downlaod mode and reflashed the stock rom.
Now my question is how to have root permissions.
I'd like to try again (I always rooted all my android devices and never had an error like that) but I'd like to understand what i did wrong before doing it again.
Thanks

And how did you get back into download mode, as you do not say?
Thank you
UPDATE:- I tried to root my new S7 and ended up with bootloader error.
In order to get back to download mode this was procedure.
When you get lovely green and red writing in error.
Press all 4 buttons, power, vol down, vol up and home, hold all til screen goes black, then straight away, remove JUST your finger off the vol down button.
This will boot you back into recovery mode.
Do not wipe, clear or reset as it will not work, due to your bootloader corrupt which will prevent your phone ever booting correctly.
Press System off and let phone power off,
Leave for approx 30 seconds.
Now Press Vol down, Home and power buttons and phone will boot into download mode.
I am downloading original firmware, the same one which was is currently on phone to save any issues.
I will then be able to freshly install firmware with odin and then read how to root again without trying to get the bootloader error again.
Best wishes
Device: P3110
ROM: cm-13.0-20160517-1900-UNOFFICIAL-espressowifi (Android 6.0.1)
I know this is an old thread but I have seem some recent activity and I need some help!
I have been using TWRP 2.8.7.0 successfully many times. I noticed a newer version on https://dl.twrp.me/p3110/twrp-3.0.2-0-p3110.img.html. I flashed 3.0.2-0 with odin and got a flash error. Now I am stuck at boot with with "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". I tried to re-flash the current recovery while the Download screen was still active but the connection dropped and odin could not see the device. I killed odin, restarted a new odin session and nothing. I also tried reconnecting the USB cable and even tried different ports and different versions of odin. Noting. The device is no longer seen by my PC - obviously including adb, Odin or Kies. I have tried to power off the device and boot to both Download Mode and Recovery. The device continues to reboot every time to the same message as above. I can't get it to power off completely even after holding the power button alone many times and also trying vol-up and vol-down. There are slightly different amounts of time that it take to reset the screen while holding the power button, some shorter and some longer.
- Tried releasing the power button during both the shorter and longer reboot cycles. Same result.
- Held the power button down for over a minute and longer. Same result. It just rebooted to the above message.
If I can get to download mode I think I can re-flash the original recovery with odin and then restore a recent backup with TWRP, if necessary. I can usually figure these things out but I am at a loss. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
