Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
It's a tablet:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (p5100)
In my computer im using windows 10 pro, and adb device is not regonized.
What I neeed to do to get pasted that error?
Thanks for the help!

There is nothing to worry.
It is easy to solve this.
Just download Odin in your pc.
Download the official firmware if your device here.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5100/
Now open Odin In pc
Connect your device to the pc .
Now in the app under PDA browse for the firmware you have downloaded and click start.
Wait till it says pass.
That's it you have successfully solved your problem.
Now it will take some time to boot.
In case you feel that you are in a bootloop just go to recovery and perform a factory reset .

Greetings;
I don't know if you already entered Download Mode...
Most problems accessing Recovery and Download Modes are due to having the USB Cable connected.
Remove the cable; press the key combination; and it will boot.
(Except if there's some incompatible ROM flashed by mistake).
After that plug the USB Cable again (if your USB Drivers have also installed for Download Mode) Odin will recognize it (like shown in your Screen Shot).
REMEMBER:
While Flashing do NOT Remove USB Cable, untill Odin Displays "Pass" message.
Further issues: Let us know. We're would be Glad to help.

Need Help big time!

I tried to root my S6 using a method posted on here. However something messed up and my phone is i guess (soft bricked)
I have tried MANY different step by step guides with no help at all.
My phone either sits on the "Use smart switch for emergency recovery" or i can get into the ODIN mode, but that's it.
I downloaded the correct firmeware G920PVPU3CPB6_G920PSPT3CPB6_G920PVPU3CPB6_HOME.tar
Opened Odin 3.10.7
Clicked AP
Loaded the PB6
And everytime i attempt to get this to stock it stops at Pit Mapping and fails.
I have changed ports, USB cables, Redownloaded all the USB drivers etc and still can't get my phone to do anything.
Just now, I tried opening the One CLick Root, (just to see) and it doesn't even pick up my phone in Debug Mode, *saying its not in usb debugging* which i know100% i put it in that when i first started or tried to root.
Anyhow
ALL I am needing to do is get my phone back to working order, idc if it's back to stock or not. As long as it works. But i have tried everything i could find, and have had no luck at all.
Some one PLEASE walk me through what i need to do.
RECAP:
Downloaded Odin 3.10.7
Downloaded stock firmware
Gets stuck at Get Pit Mapping then FAILS
From the Odin Screen this is what is listed
Product: SM-G920P
Current Binary: Custom
System Stats: Official
FRP LOCK : OFF
Secure Download : Enabled
KNOX Warranty Void : 0 (0x0000)
RP SWREV: B: 3 K:2 S:2
If anyone can please help get this back in working order i'd be SUPER appreciative.
ALSO: I've tried connecting to Smart Switch to do the Emergency Recovery, but it keeps telling me my SN is incorrect. Dunno why i got it right off the box,lol
ALSO: KIES3 says it isnt a reconized device aswell....

Re-Partition in Odin is OFF right?

Correct

Is it fixable? Bricked S6 won't boot or accept ROM flashes.

Previously, I've talked about how I bricked my G920T by using an apk to try to root my phone.
Then I tried to do a factory reset with the stock recovery but it wouldn't even go into the stock recovery. So I flashed TWRP and wiped the whole phone including the system partition.
Then I tried to flash a stock 6.0.1 firmware to the phone but doing so did not improve the situation as my phone still won't boot. Even worse, when I power my phone, all I see is the blue LED indicator, no Samsung logo, nothing.
Then I tried to flash a custom ROM like XtreStoLite but that didn't fix anything either.
When I use TWRP or the stock recovery, the error "failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)" comes up on the log. I tried using the ADB method to fix it but my phone would not get recognized by ADB probably because USB debugging isn't on by default.
I cannot shut down the phone without having it charged to a power source then holding down PWR+DOWN VOLUME+HOME until the screen shuts off.
When I enter download mode, I don't see the warning screen, I enter the download mode directly.

It will warm you when you enter download. Or use TWRP and reboot into Download.Once in download flash the ROM using Odin. Get the latest one from SamFirm.
P.S. Next time root using CF Auto Root

It doesn't warn me when I enter download mode, that's one of the problems.
I tried flashing the official ROM using ODIN, it still won't boot because of the efs error.

1) Download the latest SmartSwitch
2) Click on more -> Emergency software recovery and initialization
3) Go into Device initialization, enter your model name, search for it and proceed as advised by the assistant
That should fix everything, otherwise:
1) Download the latest official firmware for your model, the 4-File (or 3-File) Version
2) Use latest ODIN, check repartition in options
3) Select all the files and flash it

If EFS or DRK is corrupted, flashing roms, custom or not won`t help, it can be fixed via repair box maybe (Octoplus/Z3X)
Try to flash CF auto root for your model, if it still won`t boot, then find someone with a box to try to help you remotely or not.
But Smart Switch emergency initialization with phone sn would be the first thing I would try.

Which mode should I be in when using SmartSwitch? No devices are shown when I have it plugged in during the bootup, and is so too in download mode but shows a not supported message.

Well if you know someone who have a box, it doesn`t have to be remotely.
If not, it is possible to fix it remotely, with help of usb hub (FlexiHub or similar), tunneling (TeamViewer or similar) and box software (you connect phone to your computer, the other guy connects box to his computer, both of you are connected through a gateway to a wonderfull thing called internet, and everybody is happy ) .
Same as on site, just with few more things in between the phone, and the box.

The S/N sticker on the back of the phone is long gone, is there any other way I can find it besides from going into settings because I can't do that?
EDIT: I am able to borrow a friend's serial and got the firmware installed.
The Samsung boot logo is back now, however, the device still won't boot. The efs error is still there but the download mode warning sign came back.
EDIT #2: Okay, I flashed TWRP now and ADB is working once again. Can I utilize this to fix the efs error?

Try doing the carrier switch method first then downloading and installing the unlocked firmware afterwards via odin. Make sure you download the 955U1 Odin firmware and NOT the 950U. Also can you upload a screenshot of what it shows in download mode

You have the Korean model not sure why it has a 950 on the back. But you need to use the 955F firmware. Flash that thru odin

Are you using the new Odin 3.13.1, if you are or not try removing the Samsung USB drivers and then restarting the computer. Then re-download the USB drivers and firmware.

I had the same issues flashing my 8+ . . . pit issues.
I found that a different USB cable worked, and also:
Go to download mode, start odin, load TWRP or other file, press start and then press pwn dwn, bixby and power, Odin will fail, but........
because you you went back into download mode, Odin will succeed next time you flash.
For some reason if I just acknowledged that Odin was going to fail on the first attempt, I kept the phone connected and did the routine, and on the second flash attempt, no more Pit file errors for me.

i have try this combination but still failed, i guess the flash are blocked because FRP lock is "ON", since i can't go into the system or recovery mode, i have no idea how to turn off the FRP lock...
if you guys have a tricks how to turn off the frp lock via download mode, i think the flash should work without any doubt..

[Need Help] Very bad case of soft brick S9+

Hello everyone,
so my phone is soft-bricked after failure attempt to flash combination files in order to fix the csc.
I follow this thread, but the problem actually has nothing with that.
I used the latest patched odin V3.13.1, with a combination file named COMBINATION_FAC_FA80_G965USQU3ARG2.tar, and the proccess failed at flashing the system, and now i'm stuck; unable to flash other firmwares.
Before that, the phone was working perfectly after I've flashed a G965U1 firmware on it, in order to get rid of the bloatware of the original branded G965U (I don't live in the US).
Also, it successfully OTA updated to the latest G965U1UEU3ARK5 Firmware just a few days ago.
Things that I've tried so far with no success:
*Used different usb ports, both usb 2 and usb 3; and different cables
*Using both an Intel-based PC, and an AMD-based. (I know it may sound unrelated, but thats actually what prevented me from flashing the G965U1 fmwr the first time I tried, because i was using and AMD PC)
*Reinstalling Drives, installing latest kies, installing latest samsung smart switch
*using older versions of Odin
*tried to install the original Sprint firmware (v2) G965USQS2ARF4 through odin
*tried to install the G965U1UEU3ARK5 firmware through odin
The phone is stuck in download mode. sometimes if I disconnect and reconnect it, I get an unrecognized usb device message. so I need to reboot the phone again to download mode so the pc will recognize it.
and the result is always a failure:
either due to rev check, with the original OEM firmware
during the installation at 'vendor'/'system' step, due to auth error, when trying the G965USQU3ARG2 Combination file or the G965U1UEU3ARK5 files with patched odin
or even before that step with older versions of odin.
I'm out of ideas... I hope someone here has the knowledge to help in some way, Please...

after writing this post I realized that I haven't tried flashing an OEM rev3 firmware
so I downloaded one after finding out which one is the right file
and I tried flashing it on a completly other pc than the 2 I've already tried it on
and it worked:victory:
here's the recovery after the successful flash:
