I have a galaxy tab 2 GT-P3113.
Currently it will not do much of anything. I have not touched it in months but decided to try again.
In the past I have flashed many roms and kernels on it and even dual booted it at one point.
It became unstable and slow so I put it back to stock firmware. However it was still very slow and unresponsive like an old XP pc.
I don't remember exactly what I was doing but I assume I tried to reflash the stock firmware again via kies and since then it has been basically bricked.
If it does power on it says 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.'
Well I tried kies and get device not responding. When I plug it in to odin it lights up yellow and if I remember correctly it should be green. However I cannot even get it into download mode to use odin. I am afraid I have completely bricked it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you can't get into download mode then there is no way to fix it without jtag

Emergency I tried to download the ics leak followed all the right procedures and for some odd reason the system was not upgrading so I thought something was wrong so I unplugged the skyrocket and up came the screen saying use kies to recovery mode. Kies is not recognizing my device so now I am stuck I don't know what to do and I need my phone to breathe again ASAP. HELP PLEASE!!! I either need to put it back to stock or something idk all I know is that there has to be a way
You should probably be able to use Odin to flash CWM again
If you already have it, just hold down up and down volume as you turn on your phone. Release when the first Samsung screen appears, and you should be good to go

That's the thing the Samsung screen doesn't pull up it just goes right to that screen saying use kies to go to recovery and try again

Doesn't my phone have to be at the download screen with the android picture in order to do that? My screen currently says as follows: firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recover mode in Kies & try again. that's the screen that I cannot get out of.
Will my phone be able to restore from the screen that I'm currently in?

I dont think so, its actually still in download mode. You should still be able to use odin, though

Confirmed. Odin will detect and communicate with your device when the "Use Kies to recover (or whatever it is)" screen is displayed.

When it says downloading do no remove target. You should probably not remove the target for future reference
The ics leak does take a long time to flash

It'll happen again and again if you flash often. It may not say download mode BUT IT IS. Simply unplug your phone. Open Odin. Flash. Wait. It will work I promise. If u were fully bricked you would have no screen.

Hey everyone
I went to return my skyrocket to stock 2.3.5 using the sticky'd thread in the development section. It has, in fact, bricked my phone and im stuck with the "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue connect to kies blah blah blah".
I first tried using the Konane one and it got stuck on boot.img. After that is when it bricked in download mode. I downloaded the home sghi727 md5 stock odin file and now that is getting stuck on the boot.img.
Any suggestions will definitely be heard
:fingers-crossed:
Try the 2.3.5 tar from sammobile

Ive been trying over and over but odin is stuck just after connecting at boot.img and it doesnt go anywhere from there. Its been under a year since ive had the phone. I was on the UCLE2 Sky ICS and I was experiencing problems.
You guys think I might need to go to ATT and get a replacement? It still says everything is stock. It doesnt look like the flash counter has tripped.
Thanks
Step 1, If you haven't done so, do MD5 verification of the file you downloaded.
Step 3, Next, reboot your computer. I had the exact same problems and my USB ports stopped playing nice with my phone. After a reboot, everything went well. I also have a feeling something in the Kies update messes up the connection and leaves something hanging. Don't touch kies until you get out of download mode.
Step 3, click on the Thanks button.

Haha wish I could.
Ive restarted several times already but I went ahead and did it again. Odin gets to the boot.img and again just hangs there. Odin recognizes the phone thats not the problem just something to do with the phone and it wanting to be flashed through odin. I also verified the md5 with no surprises.(its off of sammobile)
Im using both the 1.85 Konane Odin and the general Android + SLP Odin achieving the same boot.img hang up. Im going to try and reboot again,
This happend to me, held the power button and restarted phone.
Then Odin properly recognized my phone

I was FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT TO GO!!!!
It was a combination of restarting my phone while in odin and going into kies and reinstalling the device drivers several times. Thanks for everyone's input.:good::good::good:
ON A SIDE NOTE:
I don't think the sticky'd thread in the dev section works anymore. Someone may want to verify that it still works so people can avoid problems like this
it still works.. i just used it two days ago on mine and it got stock honeycomb installed.
only problem was afterwards, it got stuck on "touch android to begin" with some errors.
read this if u had probs returning to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
I was running stock 2.3.6 and attempted to root it using Odin. During the process, it was stuck on cache.rfs for a long time...I took the battery out and turned on the infuse again. This time it said I needed to do recovery mode. Kies woulnd't recognize the device. So I went back into download mode and tried GTG Ultimate Unbrick. This isn't working because it keeps getting stuck at factoryfs.rfs. It's currently there now, and its been here for at least 15min. I've tried closing Odin, retrying, removing battery and SD and trying but nothing is working! I'm not sure what to do. :/

If you can still get into download mode, you aren't hard bricked. That's a good thing
As for recovering your device. This has happened to me multiple times. There are about a million different things I've tried. 1. Simply use a different USB port, 2. Try a different cable it it's available, 3. Use a different version of ODIN, 4. Try using the heimdal method, 5. Completely uninstall the drivers for the phone and then reinstall them.
Try all of these, not necessarily in that order. I tried last time and it turned out all I needed to do was switch computers for god knows what reason. Good luck!
I'm trying Heimdall right now. Will let you know how it goes..
So as I click flash, it starts...but then it says drivers not found so I click their "Reinstall Drivers" and then after 5min, the installation fails.
I got past the driver error. Now what it tell me is:
Uploading KERNAL
0%
>Then it says
KERNAL upload failed
Ending session...
I have managed to successfully run the Heimdall. But now it turns on and goes into recovery everytime. I wiped data and cache. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE?
I have had a similar experience. My flash would freeze at random points and never complete. This was using my laptop with windows 7. Tried a different computer (same brand, same OS,same USB cable) and it worked fine. This was the case for SOC and ODIN.

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and was trying to upgrade to 4.1.2 through this (http://droidviews.com/2013/samsung-...3g-wifi-gets-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-update/) guide. ODIN finished successfully but on reboot I am at presented with a screen that says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I plus my tab in via USB and fire up Kies but my device is not found.
I have tried Power+Vol up and Power+Vol down but I am returned to the same screen/message.
Is my best option to let the battery drain then charge and try to get into download mode via Power+Vol up and use ODIN to flash the factory standard image?
If there is another way that would be quicker than waiting for a battery drain I would appreciate any assistance. Actually at the moment I would just appreciate any assistance
TIA
Does ODIN see your tab on the "firmware encountered an issue" screen?

Thanks for the reply
I left it overnight to discharge and tried again this morning and all button combinations end at the same screen.
I have plugged it in this morning for all of about 2 min to get a small amount of charge into it to see if ODIN can see it and it does. Should I try to re-flash it?
Is there a different method based on it's current state?
The author of the post has been kind enough to reply to me and it looks like I may not have been in download mode, but rather in recovery when I flashed it.
I have been flashing ROM's on phones and my old xoom for about 3 years now and this is the first issue I have had. I was even more careful than usual on this one as it was the first change I had made to the tab, I guess it just goes to show that you need to be VERY aware of the different states and what they look like before flashing.
Yeah, I've seen this before, and in those cases the tab was actually in download mode. Try flashing with ODIN.
Posted from my Galaxy Tab 2 with CM10.1
Just re-flashed 4.1.2 firmware again in ODIN and it has worked
Feels a bit sluggish, might do a factory reset to see if that flashes some of the crap out of the upgrade.
Thanks for the replies......much appreciated
