Hello. Yesterday i tried to do a full restore in my Galaxy N8000 (factory) and, as an user of the Bliss Pop, something went wrong and now my tablet doesn't even start anymore. He looks like will start, but then the screen seens to turn on and off again, and so it goes on.
I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile, thinking that maybe i should use Odin and reinstall some stock ROM (i don't even know if i'm doing it right), but it seens like i can't plug it to my computer, Odin doesn't recognize (i've downloaded the Samsung Drivers from the Samsung website, but still nothing). How can i bring my GT back to life again? Please, really, if someone could help me would be so nice and i'll be grateful forever, because i use the tablet for studying and can't be without him. So, thanks in advance, and sorry for the bad english.
As opposed to just attempting to turn it on, have you tried booting directly into recovery (I'm going to assume TWRP)? If that works, you could attempt to reflash the last version of Blisspop that you had. I do know that Odin will not recognise your device unless you've booted into Download Mode first.

Yeah, i can't access the recovery... now Odin recognize my Tablet, but i'm getting the message Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again, but Kies doesn't recognize my GT. What do i do? Flash a new firmware via Odin?
Yes. See if reflashing firmware would do you any good. However, NAND write fails are a bit more advanced...

I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 that was rooted and working with no problems. I decided to unroot it so I followed this methodsorry can't post links, if you google "unroot galaxy note 10.1 n8013" it's the first one, it uses Odin v1.85) . The problem is that it keeps failing.
I've tried different USB ports, a different computer with Windows 7 (mine has Windows 8), installing Kies... but I can't get it to work.
Right now I can't even turn off the device, it just goes to a screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". But Kies doesn't recognize the device.
I can put it in download mode, and Odin recognizes it, but it always fails flashing the rom.
I have a backup of the original ROM, that I made with clockworkmod, but now I can't even go into recovery mode or access the devices storage to copy there the backup and be able to install it.
Any ideas on what to do would be much appreciated!
Do you have a spare usb cable, yours could be bad.
I have one that will transfer data to computer and charge fine but fails in odin also, switched cable and all is fine.

No I don't... I guess I'll have to buy one, do you know where I can get one?
Also, how can I turn off the device? Will taking the battery out mess something up?
Solved it! Apparently it was a problem with the stock ROM I was trying. I downloaded one for my model from samsungfirmware.com and it worked!
Well, the flashing worked, then my tablet was stuck in the Samsung logo. To fix that I entered recovery mode and wiped data/factory reset and then wiped cache.
Everything seems fine now!

I have the same problem, can some1 help?
I try using kies to fix the problem but the gt-p3110 is not supported when u go to Firmware upgrade and initilazation, put in the serial number from the back of your battery, then the tablet model and when u click ok is telling you that your model is not supported.
Can some1 tell me how to do it using Odin , even with complete wipe, or stock ROM.
Thx and please reply
"Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue..." = that´s the black screen of death. Download mode is enabled in this situation automaticly, no need to boot into downloadmode.
Uninstall Kies first! Maybe that´s why Odin failed! Maybe some Kies prozess running in the background.
Start Odin as Administrator,
Connect your tabelt to your PC (yes, with black screen of death!) - Odin will show "Added"
Now flash a Stockrom for your device
Safed your Tab
i did that with odin, untill it show'd pass but when i turn it on is the same
i loaded the file in the pda section,auto reboot and f.reset time boxes were checked
i used this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/182607797/b61e3af/P3110XXCLK7_P3110OXACLK7_BTU.zip.html from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35095146 , the uk link
if u have a working method can you please tell me and live a link and how to do it?
thanks and please reply
maybe bad download? redownload a rom for your deivce e.g. from www.samsung-updates.com
Just did that , but is the same, I use Odin 3.07
Any more ideas?
Thanks
I notice this thread has been dead for some time. However, I am also in search of a possible solution to this as a colleague of mine passed one of these tablets on to me in the hope I could get some use out of it. It is in the same state as the previous posters claim, 'firmware encountered a problem.....'. Obviously I'm in a different situation as I did not buy this thing with my own money, not will I lose out if it is beyond repair. But I'm interested to solve this problem none the less.
So, so far I have attempted to flash a philztouch recovery using Odin which was unsuccessful and I have also tried to flash several compatible ROMs. All of which have failed, Odin confirming each time that the attempts were unsuccessful. I have read that the tablet in this state auto unlocks the bootloader, so I have ruled out that as a sticking point. I have read that flashing ROMs potentially won't work either as the corruption of the firmware is seated too deeply for this to have any effect. I know a possible solution is to try flash a new kernel as this goes a lot deeper, but this can be risky, however, like I mentioned above is not an issue for me as I have nothing to lose. Does anyone have any pointers on how to flash a new kernel? Surely there is a way to remove the corrupted firmware completely? I have to admit this is beyond the realm of anything I have used Odin for in the past. Also, I am more than aware some of my understanding may be incorrect so feel free to correct me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to point me in the right direction or towards some reference material which could shed some light on this particular problem.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I rooted my brandnew GT-P3110 with cf, flashed pacman and cwm recovery. I do not blame anybody alse for my issues but myself. I guess I messed up the restoring of NON-system-apps:
After a day of troublefree use the tablet randomly rebooted and came back with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". No booting into recovery possible, no booting into download mode, no regular boot. Just the same message over and over again. Battery is unremovable.
I installed Kies, updated it, it downloaded drivers but under "emergency recovery" my tablet didn't appear. I then followed the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" procedure wich downloaded the necessary files but aborted with a korean text shown in the attachment after replugging the tablet. I tried this with 2 different USB-cables on several USB-ports. Kies btw asked me to remove the battery (not possible) after entering device number and serial-number. I turned off by pressing the off button instead and it turned on again.
I uninstalled Kies, rebooted, installed the samsung drivers manually, rebooted. I installed odin 1.85 (and later 1.3) and downloaded my contry's stock firmware (and later a newer version of the same firmware and another country's stock) from sammobile. I tried to flash them first without "repartition" ticked, later with it ticked but without a pit file (i can't find it!). I got four different errors, two are attached, the third was somethign like "cant write (line 1876)" and "cant write (line 1440)".I tried three stock firmwares with two version of odin with two USB cords on everal ports on ONE computer. I remove the tablet every time, exited odin every time, run it as admin, disabled firewall, xp-antispy and antivirus. I'm on Windows 7.
Besides a million other threads I found this one, but I wasn't able to solve my issue with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
For 48 hours i tried to solve this problem by myself. Now I hope to find out if there's a point in continuing or if I can give up and throw away the piece of samsung.
Cheers,

I am having the same problem with a P5113. Started with stuck at the Samsung logo. Then I tried a flash from Odin that didn't work. That led to the "Firmware error" screen telling me to use Keis. Keis fails to find the tablet. Odin still sees it but doesn't get a good write.
Now all I get is the battery icon when plugged in but that's it.
Things I have tried:
1) Two versions of Odin
2) Different USB ports
3) Different PC
I also let the device sit over the weekend to completely discharge. Still nothing.
Did you (or anyone else) resolve this issue?

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/)
The JB Bootloader
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.

Thanks. Well, I understand the theory. I have had trouble finding a PIT file that I am sure is for my device. I did save a PIT file but I think it is corrupt because using it requires me to let the battery die afterwards to get back to download mode. Same for the bootloader. I have a few things I've tried, but not sure I have one that is exactly for the GT-P5113 (in fact, I never did find a JB for the 5113 just the 5110 and it never would load).
Well no amount of coaxing has put life back into the tab
I may try again out of curiosity, but rather than invest more time I went out and bought a 32G Nexus 7 (2013 version). I would still like to get the Galaxy Tab alive again -- it has corrupted the flash twice before and each time I was able to bring it back to life. Not sure if this is an actual hardware failure or if it is just beyond partitioning.
I have a feeling if I had the right PIT and the right bootloader I could get back in business.
I can do each thing you mentioned, but my device is not getting detected by my PC. When I insert USB it says USB not recognized and it is not detected by Odin, adb and anything else. I am stuck on Boot Logo for my P3100 and when I go into recovery, it says USB not recognized. Fully messed up. Can you help me out here.

No. I finally sent it to one of these ebay guys who will JTAG it since I was too lazy to wire up one of my JTAG probes. They worked on it and said it was simply dead and the only alternative would be to replace the flash chips.
Bought a Nexus 7.
I've got the pit files for P311x and P3100 on my website https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-70-p31xx
I got my GNP 12.2 (SM-P900) a few weeks ago and just tried to root it using Odin and download.chainfire.eu/384/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.zip
However it paused at cache.img and after 10 minutes or so it just failed.
I've tried it a few times, but same thing, and on start up all I get is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I tried Kies 3 and Kies 2.6 but they both say my device is not supported, even if I try to go into Tools and do it it says the model name is incorrect and doesn't even give me an option to enter the serial number :-\
I looked around for a stock ROM but the closest I could find was the P901 and P905 (But I am the P900)
I don't really know what to do, so any advice would be much appreciated :angel:
Actually got Kies working, was just entering the model # wrong
This could probably be deleted / etc, not really sure how to do that

I'm having the same exact issue. I can get it into download mode. I've tried Kies several times and it keeps failing. Originally, I was using odin 3.07 to auto root on the sm-p900. During the process, the screen got this weird rainbow pixelated look, and odin told me the process has failed. It is now stuck on the error message "Firmware update has encountered an issue..."
Now I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried to reboot from download mode, and that sends me right back to the error message.
Any ideas?

Did you use Odin 3.0.7 or 3.0.9? 3.0.7 is included with CF and MUST be used even though 3.0.9 is the latest. If odin was already installed on your PC and you used 3.0.9 bad things are going to happen.

I tried both as well, and that's exactly what happened to me. During the process, my screen went all screwy and that's when it told me the process had failed.
I had some of the problems mentioned above. My attempt to flash CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 failed using Odin3-v3.07.exe.
It tries for several minutes and then says failed.
I then used Kies (not Kies 3) to reflash the tablet to factory settings. Here its important to know that Kies will never "connect" you have to ignore that and go to tools and "firmware upgrade and initialization". Google "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue” – Got This Error While", the first result on "droidviews" is the guide i used to fix this.
I then went into the settings and enabled "USB Debugging". Something i had forgotten before. I tried to flash the root file again, but it still failed.
Given that i was able to reflash the firmware with kies, i would say my USB port / cable / drivers must all be good.
What else should i try?

For those getting stuck or failing root, Make sure your usb drivers are updated in Kies 3 then flash stock recovery in Odin 3.07. Don't get mixed up with stock firmware (over 1GB) and stock recover (only around 20MB).
Stock recovery is here:

Question, what is the purpose of the Stock recovery and CWM recovery?
Also, after trying three times, i was able to get the flash to work. After each failier i used Kies (not kies 3) to flash back to factory. Would these recoveries have helped? Maybe i wouldn't have lost data?

Stock recovery is what your device originally comes with. CWM recovery is a modified version of that and it allows you more functionality.
When I messed up my update and root, my device would not boot up at all. I flashed the stock recovery and that enabled me to successfully root. No data was lost, no factory reset was needed and all my apps and settings were unchanged.
Don't mean to bump this thread, but I'm having the same issue. Odin 3.07 hangs up when it gets to cache.img, and it's non-responsive. I don't care about rooting it, I just want a stock firmware back. I've tried the files that Russbad posted, same issue. Running Note Pro 12. SM-P900 on 4.4.2.

Try this: With your device unplugged from your PC, open Kies 3, go to tools tab and uninstall the drivers. Then plug your device in and reinstall drivers.
I don't know if it makes a difference but if you get your device to boot up, enable developer options and check USB debugging.
Also make sure you are using the cables that came with your Tablet.
Then flash stock recovery and flash stock firmware.
If it still fails, check that your downloaded firmware and recovery are not corrupted, download them again.
Also try these procedures using different USB ports.
Good luck!

I found the issue, it should work with everyone with it. Some people don't have the .md5 extension enabled in their archive viewer, so by simply removing the .md5 (left with CF_XXXX.tar), and flashing that it works 100% fine.

I finally got mine rooted by simply trying over and over. I re-downloaded the CF flash tool and used 7zip to extract it several times, and used a different usb port at least once. Not that I really thought there was a problem with my extraction or the download or my USB port. But from what i have seen posted, you just have to try it 3 or 4 (maybe even 10) times until you get lucky and it works.
I did at one point try to recover my Note 12.2 with the "recovery.img" instead of flashing it with a full factory re-image (which causes data loss) but that didn't work for me ether. But I later had good luck with using Odin 3.09 to flash TWRP. So at least I now have a good custom recovery and backup tool.
okay everyone, I'm going to try these methods and report on what happened. Thank you for being so helpful. :cyclops:

I ended up using a different computer in the end and used Kies 2.6 for the drivers. I tried this a total of maybe 8 or 9 times, and it worked on the second attempt on the second attempt.
For the record, I left "md5" in the file when rooting, and that's when it worked.
Hello,
My daughter has an SM-T510 that stopped working out of the blue. One day it just would not start anymore. Only the start screen appeared, it looked like a bootloop to me. So I tried flashing the firmware with Odin, which did not succeed but I possibly used the wrong firmware, for another region for instance.
After a while I think I found the correct firmware, but still no luck. I assume it should use the Dutch version, however I do not know if it really is the Dutch version.
By now it only showed the screen with the message that the firmware download had failed and I should use Smartswitch to recover. Well Smartswitch does not work, in the emergency recover screen of smartswitch the T510 is not displayed so I cannot select it. Odin still works though, I can still connect and flash firmware. But none that I tried were completed.
I finally flashed the PIT file, and at least now I get the normal start screen, and I can get to the recovery screen again. When I used Odin to flash the correct (Dutch) firmware it just hangs during writing userdata. When I use the HomeCSC it finishes correctly, but after reboot I get SAMSUNG for a long time, then it reboots and SAMSUNG again etc.
I just want it to work again, no root needed. Anybody any idea what I could try? Or is the internal memory of this tablet just defctive?
I don't really know what to try now, so if you can, please help!
