Hello everyone.
This reeks of hardbrick all over the place. Got Sammobile FW to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 5.0.2. Phone got recognized by Odin, everything seemed to be fine until NOPE! "FAIL!" message shows in Odin and it says "hidden.img.ext4 fail". Got battery off, tried into putting the device into recovery/download.
Nothing happens, so obviously can't flash anything because the phone won't go into the required mode.
That's all, I wanted to share my experience with you.

Crap!!! I hope someone can help me. I was trying to upgrade my son's tablet using odin and a stock 4.04 rom from here :Samsung P5100 / P5110 / P5113 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Complete Stock Firmware. The first one for the P5113.
Anyway, everything seemed to be going okay following the directions and then a failed came up in the first box in odin was red. I repeated it and it appeared to be stuck. The tablet was in download mode and the blue line had only progressed about a quarter inch. I heard the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and I tried to initiate it through odin again but the tablet wasn't responding. I stupidly on plugged the tablet and tried to power it down. Now I can't do anything. Can't get into recovery or download mode. The tablet is stuck on the screen and has this message with a picture of a tablet then a yellow triangle and a computer. Here is the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Kies won't recognize the tablet and when I click on emergency firmare recovery it just asks for PC code. I am stumped. I am not familiar with Samsung at all. Also, the message on the screen won't disappear. If I hold down power it won't turn off, the screen will go black and then the message will come right back so I'm afraid the battery will be dead soon and then I will be totally out of luck.
The tablet is a wifi only P5113 Tab 2 10.1.

Not your device but its should be similar. Hope it works for you.
No luck so far, is there no way to get past this screen?
Not that I know of to be honest, You need to get into download/recovery .... Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come up with something !
How old is the tab ?
EDIT :
Will ODIN connect ... When you get that firmware error screen ?

No nothing, windows does recognize it and will install the driver. But Odin doesn't show anything happening and Kies just shows connecting. When you select emergency recovery in Kies it will stop trying to connect and bring up a dialog box asking for a recovery code. Apparently if the failure would have happened during a legit upgrade using Kies it would have generated an error code for recovery. Is there no way to repair this? Thought Samsung devices were suppose to be so easy to customize? Please help my son is pretty pissed.

Update!!!
I was able to get odin to connect to tablet and I got cwm recovery installed so it no longer boots to the failed firmware screen and I can get into recovery. My question is which firmware do I install?? The tablet is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 wifi only. Is the P5113UEBLH3 firmware the correct one? It says it was provided by Cellular South which confuses me since the tablet is wifi only.
Update 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success!!! Got into download mode and was able to load the stock 4.04 firmware and life is good again. Thanks to all that helped.
One thing. Always update your table with OTA or Kies. ODIN breaks the warrantie

I bricked my device from Odin while trying to revert from a CM10.1 nightly to stock JB. Device picked up in Odin, but would not flash... unless I reboot the device after I clicked start in Odin. Dunno why, but it loaded stock firmware on the error screen... don' ask me how...
I have experienced this. Run ODIN, then connect your devices to the computer. When ODIN detect it, unplug and then replug your device. When ODIN back detect it then flash.
Recent versions of Odin work the other way around. First plug then open. Older like <1.87, first you open the program then you plug device. Glad it got solved.

I have also hit this screen several times while playing with roms, this is a fairly common example of "softbrick". Fortunately for me, Odin had no problems connecting, and then simply flashed an oem rom. I have not been able to hard brick this thing, which is a huge surprise considering all the flashing I've done. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't blown up like an iraqi IED yet lol!
This is a good thing! It means that Samsung built in a good failsafe. It just means you hosed your rom install all the way down to the bootloader. Easy to recover from
Glad ya learned to fix it!
Big problems with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

Hi, my problem is identical. I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and after a failed update with Odin the message was:Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I try again with Odin and nothing. I used Kies, and nothing. Then i saw a reference to the md5 philz_touch_5.03.7-p5110.tar.md5 and i use it with Odin. Sucess but the message was RESET. Everithing disappeared from screen except the battery logo. The tablet is always on and with that image. The volume buttons and power don't work and it is not detected.
I'm affraid the thing is bad.
Can you help? Thank you.

Hey cruise, would you happen to still have the file you used on your son's box? The only page I can find won't let me in.
Hi guys!
I'm from India and I had imported a European n9005 LTE. The phone was unlocked and it worked fine. I rooted it. Then to get Kitkat, I flashed N9005XXUENB7 firmware through Odin 3.07 and rooted it again. That worked perfectly too. Later I flashed N9005XXUENB7 again to lose the root. Then I decided to downgrade to the original firmware N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005OXADMJ4_BTU through Odin 3.07 and it failed and I got stuck with “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try Again” message. At this point, I put the phone in download mode and tried to flash N9005XXUENB7 again, choosing N9005XXUENB4_N9005DBTENB1_DBT_PIT, and checking the Re-Partition box along with Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. I completed the flashing successfully and got the PASS message, but now the phone is plagued by major problems. It doesn't identify my sim card anymore, the camera barely works, the phone keeps restarting, and the whole system has become extremely unstable.
Is there any way to fix this? Please help me guys. I'm desperate because I love this phone.
Sorry for the double post.
Duplicate.
In trying to root my I545 after it upgraded to 5.0.1, it no longer boots. It goes straight to the Verizon error that basically says to use the Verizon recovery software from a pc. This I have done and the software does not recognize the phone.
This phone will only boot to Download or to the Verizon error.
I feel there is still hope as I can get to the download area, ODIN see's my phone. But everything I have tried says "NAND write error" kind of thing.
I am hoping someone here can help to get this phone working again.
Thank you in advance
Last night my mom asked me if I could format her tablet, because it was too slow (Even for that device), and had a lot of crap on it.
So... I took a look at it and started to google about the tablet. Turns out it hadn't been upgraded to the latest firmware; it was on Android 4.1.2, and as it says here: "sammobile.com/tag/gt-p3100/" the latest available firmware is 4.2.2 .
Thus I tried to update it via software update on the device, but it turned out it wasn't able to update because the tablet has been modified. Then I remembered that a long time ago I tried to root it without much success, but didn't try again because I got bored.
Then I downloaded the 4.2.2 firmware UK version (P3110XXDMH1_P3110OXADMH1_BTU), and flashed it via Odin. Sadly it went wrong and a "Failed!" sign appeared. I can't remember what step failed, but it booted anyways, but this time my PC recognized the device as a "GT-P3110". I thought that maybe it was because the UK firmware was a Vodafone version, so I downloaded the Russian brandless version (P3100XWDMK1_P3100SERDMK2_SER) and flashed; it failed again, but this time the tablet didn't turn on normally.
I can't boot it neither normally, recovery or Download mode, it shows only a message that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again", which as I read on other android sites and this forum, it's a soft brick message.
Then I tried to do as it said, installed Kies and tried to fix what I've done, but when I enter the device data (Model and "S/N") it shows a message saying that the model info cannot be verified and that the device initialization can't continue.

So... This is as much info as I can remember about what could've gone wrong, please help me, if I can't fix it, mom will continue to be a liiiiittle too much angry
Beforehand thank you very much.
PS: I had to write wrong the links because I created this account just because I had this problem, so I can't post links.
Woah this happen to me once, but i try to flash it again and its work, this happen when i chose the wrong firmware zip, but it work when i instal the right one, maybe u flash wrong firmware bro, try flash the right rom bro
this message is like download mode, you can connect to pc and flash any firmware via odin
Yes, as said you can go in Download Mode and reflash another good ROM ! Make sure the .tar.md5 is not corrupted.
Hello Everyone,
I have a bricked Galaxy Note 10.1 (Verizon) SCH-I925.
The only thing I am able to get to is ODIN mode.
I have downloaded from sammobile; KIES_HOME_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
and have tried to load it using ODIN versions 1.85, 3.07, and 3.13. They all come back with a invalid hash error when I try to load it.
I have also tried to use:
BOOTLOADER_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
CSC_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
MODEM_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
PDA_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
These just fail when I try to load.
When I connect my device to my computer, it shows up in device manager as a USB device. Is this correct or should it show as an ADB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Its a USB device .
Hash error bad download first check .Second check wrong firmware/ bricked phone SEE multiple bricked phone posts .
Try KIES recovery .
Will not connect
Tried KIES, both versions, does not connect.
The only thing I can get into is ODIN on the device.
I have read many threads on here but have not seen an answer to unbricking a Verizon SCH-i925 Not 10.1.
Help please.

Do you know anything about how it was bricked? Do you get the Samsung logo if you start it normally? You said only Odin is working, so I guess you also tried the recovery, does it just restart then or what happens in this case?

If I start it normally, I get the Samsung screen and then it goes blank. Recovery says "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your device. Please turn off your device and go to nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."
System bricked while trying to upgrade to Marshmallow. What I downloaded said it was for Verizon Model, but as soon as I tried to install the upgrade, that is when it bricked.

Just a heads up, no root or custom rom has been created for this specific model. Trust me, I am currently in the same boat as you. I have yet to find a solution.
