Some family in USA send to me a tablet samsung sm-t217a as a gift.
But It gives me a message like:
Firmware upgrade encountred an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. When I use Kies 3, it can't
I don't know how to fix that. Please, can you help?
thank you beforehand.

You came to the right place. Go to Sammobile and download the firmware of your model and flash it on ODIN.
The link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T217A/
You have i think to sign in/sign up to download but im tell you. This will works.
Hi,
thank you for help.
It is not fit, I look for the 4.4.2 because the tablet can not downgrade.
Thank you
Hey XDA Forum,
I've got a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note EDGE (915FY) running on 5.0.1. I can't update to a newer version.
I tried it via the system updates but it failed, it recomendet to use Kies so i did that but it also failed and rebooted into 5.0.1 again.
I also tried updating the firmware via Odin but guess what it failed, I got somekind of file size error.
Is there anyone out there who can help me ?
If you need more information about that just let me know !
Thank you so much !
Hello, I have a soft bricked (hopefully thats the case) Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F xme region (Malaysia) with android 6.0.1 latest stock rom.
It started when my device suddenly restarted and got stuck at the samsung logo (first screen).
I am able to boot it into Download Mode, tried reflashing with a fresh stock rom MM 6.0.1 with odin, flashing proccess was completed with no fail but it still stuck at the same screen.
I can't even boot into recovery mode so i can't wipe the cache partition, i noticed the Reactivaction Lock status is ON, i suspect that might be the culprit?
The things i tried so far:
1- Reflash with the latest stock firmware. Ticking the NAND erase all and repartition it with pit file also didn't work.
2- Samsung Smart Switch and Kies3. Flash completed but no effect.
3- Flashing any recovery files returns with "Custom binary(recovery) Blocked by R/L".
4- Sent it to my nearest Samsung service centre, they did try to repair it but only to be told that my S6 need a new motherboard the next day, which is out of my budget limit. But i am still hoping to find some other way to fix it, i believe this is just a "soft-brick" not a hard brick device.
Ideas guys? thanks.
Try to re flash stock odin firmware with erase all ticked ok ,
Good luck ,,

Try Samsung Smart Switch, it has some recovery features that can automate the process for you.

I believe it is doing that because you have a locked bootloader. Normally that shouldn't be a problem unless you're trying to flash a firmware that is older than what you had.
What stock firmware version/build number did your device have? What firmware version/build number is what you are flashing? If what you're flashing is older it might be downgrading your bootloader, bootloader can't be downgraded on most locked bootloader Samsung devices these days.

Don't remember the build number, but it was a 6.0.1 firmware, i flashed it with the same stock firmware version.. but maybe the build number didn't match.
I read somewhere about the engineering bootloader, i know it is not so easy or even possible at the moment to find one for my current firmware version, but let's say if i have it, will it be possible for me to use it to remove the RL on my device?

Did you flash a firmware from a different g920 series device? Or did you flash the firmware for your specific model number and your and carrier?

Let me backtrack. Do you know if USB debugging is on?
Did you flash TWRP with a locked bootloader before this happened? Is that what caused the issue?

USB debugging and Developer Mode was never turned on that device.
Negative, i did try flashing TWRP but it was after it got stuck at the logo screen and only able to boot into Download Mode, the flashing came back failed with "Custom Binary (recovery) Blocked by RL" message.
Flashing it with the latest stock recovery i found online also gave me the same error message.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried booting to safe mode? If any of the apps that you installed before this happened were causing an issue or bootloop before you flashed are still there, it/they could still be causing the bootloop. Remember, I said that it doesn't wipe data unless you are upgrading or downgrading bootloader/baseband, what you flashed wasn't an upgrade or a downgrade so your data is there. Boot to safe mode and disable/uninstall the apps that might be causing the issue.

Didn't try that... but nevermind. I accidentally damaged my screen while trying to dissasemble it last night, a very stupid mistake from me.
Thank you for trying to help me mate. Forum mods can close this thread now. Thanks all.
problem
i have too but with A/L
Alright so I guess I'm stuck in a situation. I recently updated my firmware to Sprint's latest one (CRD4) and I didn't realize that the bootloader was rev3 and I tried flashing a lower bootloader version. I got a fail in odin and now my phone just reboots to recovery (it doesn't fully enter recovery either, it just says error or installing update). I've tried flashing:
G955USQS2BQL1 (Sprint)
G955USQU2CRC5 (Sprint)
G955USQU3CRD4 (T-Mobile)
and it still says fail. I have no idea what else to do next besides taking it to Sprint but I cracked the corner of my screen and I'm sure they will charge me to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Unfortunately you are stuck on it. In the disclaimer is said you would not be able to downgrade to a previous version for security reasons. You will probably have to wait till the new Sprint version is available to download.

How long do you think that will take since this is my only phone?
You will have to wait until an Odin flashable package of CRD4 or another bootloader 3 firmware becomes available. Without a complete BL3 system flash you are SOL
I think I'll hold off on the OTA update until I hear some safe reports

There is now an ODIN file for bootloader 3 CRD4. You can find the link in the Oreo Beta thread. It should fix your phone

Thank you for telling me. It gives me an error though when I try to download it from SamFirm
Code:
Checking firmware for SM-G955U/SPR/G955USQU3CRD4/G955UOYN3CRD4/G955USQU3CRD4/G955USQU3CRD4
Error: Could not send BinaryInform. Status code 200/400
Request was invalid. Are you sure the input data is correct?
Update: Nvm found it. Had to go to the last page
Do you have z3x?
You dont need z3x to flash the tmobile variant, but it makes it far simpler. Which version of odin are you using? If its the prince comsey you will more than likely get the mismatch error.

I'm in the same situation as you ... but instead i have the s8 not the s8+ .... been searching like crazy but only see the odin files for s8+ ... do you by any chance know where I can get the files for the s8? Thanks in advance if you can help.

No worries. I fixed the situation. Thanks for reading!
I am clarifying this, this is s8 plus now stuck on rev3? I got an s8 and went to another forum thread and was told this isn't true. I am stuck on rev3. FYI, updato has the new s8plus firmware if you haven't got it already.
Several months ago I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy S7, but was not satisfied and tried to unroot the phone. But it became a drama.
My phone doesn't start up anymore.
I tried to load the original firmware with Odin, but every attempt failed, showing the error message:
Check fail(bootloader) device: 8, binary: 7
I understood that the firmware I was trying to load, was not the most recent firmware.
But I cannot find newer firmware for my model: SM-G930F - The Netherlands
I've downloaded the most recent firmware from Samdb.org and I've downloaded the most recent firmware with the Frija tool.
Also I've tried the Fixppo software from iMyFone, but without success.
From Sammobile unfortunately I cannot download files, so I could not try this way.
Could anyone give me the golden tip?

Use Sam Firm tool, to downlaod Netherlands (MMO) then flash with Odin. MMO is currently boot loader 8 which you need.
