Cannot boot into download or recovery mode
Hi, my samsung Tab2 is stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error" screen. No matter which combination of buttons I press, I cant get into download or recovery. I've tried flashing with Odin, it shows successful but nothing has changed. I tried the ADB command but it says "Waiting for device". When I plug in the tab to the charger (or when I connect it to the PC) it comes on automatically with the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error" screen. Is it a power button thing or is it something else ?
Thanks.

Flash the CWM recovery via Odin, and restart. now you can go to the recovery mode and install ROM from sd card.
Dont try to flash any other recovery file, working with CWM only.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've already tried that, Odin shows it is successful but when i restart, nothing seems to have changed, the same upgrade error comes back.

Hi, I was triying to flash TWRP to my i9103 and Odin, failed and showed "SOS". Since then the phone doesn't boot any longer. I've tried to flash again TWRP and the stock roms hundreds of times with different ODIN versions, and even with a fresh Windows installation and even with jODIN from a Mac. Nothing worked. It always shows "SOS".
Also I even tried the APX method, and started flashing something, but then it failed.
I can access the system recovery, but I can't flash from sdcard, since it only detects the internal storage, not the SD.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you in advance.
Share the screenshot of odin
Are you able to enter into download mode? (power key + home button + vol-)

Yes I'am able, and I retried again the APX method and managed to flash the boot, but Odin continues showing "SOS" after a couple of seconds.
Now the phone screen shows the following message in red:
"Write data size is too big[13\MDM] [Data:12583168(B) -> Part: 614476144(2KB)]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition_odin![err:0xffffffff]"
No matter if I try to flash a full firmware or just CWM.
In the case of full firmware it fails when Odin shows it is flashing the modem part.
Thanks.
Unflashable device:"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error + Only download mode
Basically I have this device that when I boot it normally it goes straight to that error with a phone, a yellow triangle and PC, that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
If I try to boot in recov. mode, it jumps to this error but if I try to boot in downl. mode, it boots to download mode as usual.
I tried every rom Portugal rom and when I flash it with Odin, Odin does it kinda fast (2 minutes), shows the green light but when the phone reboots, it reboots to that same error.
Is there anything I can do? Is the NAND corrupted?

Make sure that your downloaded .tar.md5 image is valid, try using another version of Odin or give Heimdall a try. NAND can be corrupted but it’s hard to determine, especially without working system.
Hello guys.
Like the title says, I can't boot directly into recovery mode after flashing twrp. I know the combination for booting into recovery mode but it automatically forces it to boot normally. I have to power off my phone after it starts normally to boot into recovery mode. But the problem is that the twrp disappears after it starts normally after the flash because u have to get instantly into the recovery mode (I think.) so it doesn't reset.
Modelnumber: SM-A510F
It worked at first, but there was also a problem with the recovery system because it always showed "No Command". I didn't use the latest version of odin and twrp. I only followed a guide with download links for this model. The odin flash succeded btw. I hope for some help here.
Thanks.
I'm on a G900W8 with the latest software update and I just tried to install the latest TWRP through Odin using download mode (vol up, home and power) and while it seemed like it worked it didn't actually and now I cannot get into download mode whatsoever. It just says "installing system update" which fails after a few seconds and sends me to "no command" screen.
If I hit vol up and power to get into the next menu it says
Code:
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#
No Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
Supported API:3
# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
Successfully verified dmverity hash tree
E:Failed to clear BCB message: failed to find /misc partition
The phone boots and I can use adb commands to "apply update from ADB" in the recovery menu but I can't figure out how I can use this to fix anything. I have tried factory reset which worked but it did not fix my issue I still cannot access download mode or figure out any way to install TWRP or even get my regular recovery working again..
Does Odin still detect it when it reaches the no command screen? I had the same thing happen to a Samsung tablet but Odin still detected it after the 'installing system update' message and I was able to do a stock firmware flash.

No it doesn't unfortunately my PC recognizes it but it says the device has malfunctioned and is not recognized. If I boot it up Odin will recognize it fine but I cannot install anything that way since the actual system is running at that point.

OK but how do you flash that without being able to use Odin in download mode?
On my S7 to go to download mode is combination Vol Down + home + power.
Vol up is for recovery
