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.
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

bump?
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?

IIRC you need to reflash recovery and you should be able to boot up again.

I'm sorry if I sound stupid but how do I reflash the recovery? I keep searching for a recovery ROM but I can't find anything, so I must be misunderstanding something here.

Thank you very much. In case anyone else is wondering. I ended up asking the problem with Samsung kies, using the upgrade feature rather than emergency recovery. Wiped all my data but u have my tablet back.
Kind of wondering what went wrong with the root attempt. I followed the instructions to the T.

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 myself have tried odin 3.07 and .09 and mine just hangs when cache is being written to. A full green bar but will not move pass the cache portion of the install.

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?
Flash Stock Recovery

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:

FINALLY! :laugh: I got it to root!
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.
OK, Ive been without my note for a whole day and been researching wht to do nonstop
What happened to me was that, since i had updated to official kitkat, i soon developed a taste for lollipop, and went on to try out different ROMs and finally settled on to crDroid
So it was one of those days where everything was going well until the note stopped opening apps for like a minute then showd a black screen and then all of a sudden restarted
Since this was a Sammy i thought it would get back up again.... But no, even a 5 minute didnt wake this beast up, it remained stuck at the boot logo, i.e, Samasung Galaxy Note 10.1
Im like ok ill go on do a factory reset and wipe cache and all, upon trying to accesss the recovery after the boot logo the recovery kinda opens then gets back at boot logo, a black screen shows up then turns on to be a full brightness black screen for a sec then goes back
I can access the download mode and can odin things but they fail every single time.
I have tried to odin a recovery and a stock recovery so far and they show a nand write error
i also have tried to PIT but they get stuck at get PIT for mapping
I have also tried all versions of odin tried changing a USB Port and the wire with no success
So is there any hope for my NOTE??
Please i need help its urgent

is it rooted ?
i have the same problem from 2 months and i am finally got that i must replace the motherboard
Sounds like its written its last, flash is dead.
Since you are able to enter in download mode there is hope. Trying to flash recovery which doesn't match the firmware version will always fail. So, try flashing some of the base firmwares which will return everything to stock. I was in your situation few months ago and managed to flash Android Revolution HD 4.4.2 after first flashing stock firmware via odin. I got my 4.4.2 base firmware from "sammobile.com", firmware section (sorry i don't have enough posts for using links).
I remember i tried flashing TWRP for GT N8000 and i also tried Philz then CWM all for GT N8000
I also tried flashing base rom but it gives NAND write fail
Nand write fail can mean damaged PIT or the actual nand memory is damaged and needs a new motherboard .
flash with pit file
found these pit files for the device.
you can flash the pit file for GT-N8000 in odin
don't forget to repartition, it's a very delicate situation, you don't want to mess it up, before going to this, you should confirm if the size are same. you wont like to flash a 16gb to 32gb partition.

same problem for me, this did not work, still write error
I have a similar problem. Everything is stuck. I am tryingo to go back to stock, but if I try to connect (via Odin, Heimdall, fastbot or adb sideload) i can't.
Is there any advice?
Thanks
nope not yet
I'm early ???
So it turned out that my AMAZING tablet had its storage device corrupted... I. E I exceeded the read write count
Similar problem Bricked N8005
I bought my N8005 (variant of N8000 but phone is disabled just data 3G is available) in 2012. I rooted it once and used custom rom for a while but last year installed official stock ROM again. Yesterday I started a game called "zombidle" (possibly this is an unnecessary info) and tablet restarted itself but stuck on "samsung" logo.
I tried to enter recovery mode but it always restarted and cannot enter recovery mode.
Tried to install different versions of CWM, Philz and TWRP recovery using odin but it always FAILed when NANDwrite started. Tried odin 1.85, 1.87, 3.07, 3.09, 3.12 but all same.
I tried to install same stock ROM but always FAILed.
Then I tried to install a custom rom but it failed too.
I read about bad pit files. Searched internet and found some pit files but nothing changed, FAILed at same point.
Did I finished all solutions?
Should I take it to the doctor?
Any sugesstions?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Today I took it to the Samsung doctors. They said that; this is a mainboard issue and mainboard needs to be changed. That will be over 400TL (TL=Turkish Lira). Device is still in markets and new N8005 is 1300TL (i think this is also expensive. Because new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T817 32GB 9.7" is 1900TL in my country).
Does it worth to fix? Any opinions? Can I fix it myself somehow?
Nand write fail probable defunct memory.
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 S4 Active AT&T model (SGH-I537) and I've completely screwed it up. I don't remember how, but I had it rooted on 5.0.1 I537UCUCOC6 and wanted to completely reset it by flashing it to stock because it was running really slowly. Well, I did something with Odin, something failed, and now it's telling me "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Which I did, but Kies never recognizes the device. I've looked and looked but I can't find anywhere on how to fix this. Is there anything I can do? I am able to access the... I think it's called bootloader mode? (Been a long time since I've done any of this obviously) but pressing volume down and home while booting, so I can flash with Odin still I'm guessing.
