[Completed] [Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue [ROOT] [Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300]

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.

[Completed] Galaxy Note 4 Stuck In "Firmware Upgrade Encountered An Issue..."

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.
