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.

i got this problem too!
you can try to put the good drivers (samsung mobiles) on your computer.
i had the same problem but i flash it back to stock
flash your phone back to the stock rom that the phone came with that is the way i went with my problem and it worked.
Where to start...
First, as a disclaimer, I may use language or terms that sound noobish. I have rooted and run custom ROMs on several devices in the past, however generally when I get a ROM I like I stick with it, so I'm not constantly tinkering. I've done my best to search and find solutions so please go easy on me.
17 days ago I was running stock 4.3 on my SGNII when the battery died. Upon charging I found I was stuck in bootloop and had a bad /efs mount. I searched and searched and spent around 15 hours trying this and that but to no avail. I finally threw my hands in the air and got ahold of Josh at mobiletechvideos and he was able to fix the efs mount issue. However, he left me in factory mode which required me to root to get out of, and once I did this I was unable to activate data on my carrier (Ting). I was so happy to have my phone "back" though that I used it like this for 4 or 5 days. I could get on wifi and I could call and send text messages. I had been off the grid so this felt like something I'd fix fully later.
Well I kept reading and found "fix" after "fix", flashed this and that and still no dice. FINALLY, last night, I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 which helped immensely. I was able to get TWRP flashed by unchecking the "auto-reboot" option in Odin and pulling the battery after the update took, and via TWRP I was able to install the ROM. I booted up, the device activated, I was running 4.1.2, I made and received some calls, the birds were chirping, the air was sweet...
I had struggled for so long and I had finally achieved success! Then, for seemingly no reason at all, I accepted an OTA update which bricked my Note2. Devastation.
The current state of things...
* Cannot get past the initial "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen
* Cannot boot into recovery
* I CAN get into dl mode,
* but, I CANNOT successfully flash anything. TWRP will flash like it took, but upon reboot I'm not able to boot into it. I'm also able to flash a ROM but it fails when it gets to sbin, and upon rebooting I'm greeted by the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
When I try to use Kies it doesn't find the device. I've installed all of the most recent drivers and I'm running Kies as administrator. I select Tools > Emergency Firmware Recovery, THEN connect my device as instructed.
I'm at the apex of frustration. I beg thee to help!!

Thank you.
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.

You can check this thread: Hard Reset doesn't work/deleted apps are restored after reboot.
But I think better to start here: [Q] Back to stock? P3100 (with 3g) - for waranty.
Or here: [Q] GT-P3100 How to revert back to stock firmware from CM9 build.
Flashing the official/stock firmware should help.
Then you can use the stock recovery to wipe data (= do a factory reset).
For further questions, please register on xda and post in the Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Thread closed. Thank you.
