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.

[Q] no battery pull precludes recovery

I tried to use chainroot, and got stuck on the logo screen. normally you'd battery pull, go to recovery and wipe data. but i can't find any way to shut down the phone, before doing power-upVol-home.
And now i've tried to odin a stock recovery to undo chainroot, odin fails. could re-run odin with auto-reboot off, but again, no way to shut off and go to recovery.
at this point i'm stuck with the blue screen asking me to use smart switch on PC to do emergency recovery. but smartswitch says the device is not recognized.
thoughts? thanks!

I was stuck rooting on the boot logo too. Had to use odin 3.10 and did "run as administrator". Also if this helps to reboot the stuck phone press vol down+power together until the screen blanks out. If you need to get into download mode, as soon as the screen blanks out, press and hold the Home button ( Don't let go of the vol down and power though ).
Good grief.... the non-removable battery has made these recovery tricks so difficult

thanks twisted_mind. at this point, i only get the blue screen asking me to do smartswitch recovery, and the one thing i CAN seem to do is volDown-power-home and it easily goes to download mode. i have not been able to get to recovery mode no matter what i do (including volUp-power-home, even before this smartswitch message came up after i tried to odin a stock recovery).
so i can still go to dload mode, and stick in a stock rom. the ones i've tried are from sammobile, and a potential issue is that i don't know the exact one to pick (this phone is a demo here in europe and i didn't note the details under settings when it was working). so the ones i try end in an odin FAIL. again, i've also tried odin unchecking auto-reboot, but then the phone is stuck at the very end of dload ("don't turn off target", etc), and i have no way to battery pull, etc.

Instead of holding power to shut off you have to hold power and vol down

Hello

happened with you, my S6 international module stucked on logo screen.
where did you get S6 stock recovery from?
Thanks

I have the turquoise screen that says "an error has occurred... use the emergency recovery function in smart switch...". if i do power + volDown there OR when the phone is stuck in download mode after the odin fail, the phone turns off but then comes right back on with the turquoise error screen. i've tried quickly going to the recovery key combo right when or right after the screen goes dark, but to no avail.
I can easily do power +volDown + home and go to dload mode. i just can't get into recovery mode no matter what i've tried so far.
if i could just find a stock rom that wouldn't fail in odin, or something else to use as AP/PDA in odin, i'd be set i think. wish i knew how to do this. hitting nand erase all in odin doesn't do the trick by the way.

is the version you flashed the same version that you had prior (do the apps look the same, etc)?
so odin passed? (mine FAILs, with 4 different sammobile stock recoveries). I have the S6 Edge, maybe the S6 works fine and I just need the correct S6 Edge firmware.

umm, hey ammsamm, i went to the link you just mentioned, installed it and GOT SOME NASTY SPAMWARE INSTALLED on my machine from it. I'd normally flag you immediately as a bad user, but your other comments sound legit. do you have anything to say about this?

[Q][HELP] Very bricked, please help

I have a GT-P1500, and I flashed a ROM .zip to /system with heimdall before I really grasped how flashing these kinds of things on samsung devices really works. Now everything is terrible.
I can boot into download mode and heimdall and odin both recognize my device. When I flash a recovery, I'm not able to boot into it even when I do the right key combinations and it says "booting recovery" in blue text in the corner on the samsung logo screen. Also, for some reason my download screen says "qualcomm secureboot: enabled" at the bottom of the other stuff. This is normal, right?
I've tried flashing the .tar.md5 firmware files from sammobile, but odin fails to flash them. I've tried kies, but it doesn't recognize my device. I've tried different computers. I've tried different recovery builds. I've tried everything I can think of.
Please help?

It looks, like a locked bootloader. Which firmware you flashed?

Will try when I get home tonight, thank you for your kindness.

No problem my friend, but I just saw you mentioned p1500 and this p5100 thread. Sorry, i missed that too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1
Your problems will be sorted out there better than here.
Although I don't see any help or advice in your case. Since I am pretty sure you are on a carrier locked bootloader, sorry to be the one to break this on you which means you can't go custom and the carrier company is the real owner who doesn't want you to leave them.

Ah, 1500 was a typo. I meant 5100

Also, I can't do anything to the bootloader to fix this? Not even go back to stock?

There must be something, you got me mixed up with P1500 . well, lets put few confusions to rest
what else do you have, I will need more details
Are you using a carrier locked tab 2 p5100?
or did you flash a carrier locked firmware on your unlocked tab?
you mentioned you flashed a rom zip from heimdall. which one exactly?
is your device booting up or you are just stuck in download mode?

The tablet boots, but the screen is just black and I can only try rebooting it. I can boot into download mode by holding power and volume down.
I do not have a carrier locked version, and I have not flashed any firmware packages as something eventually goes wrong and heimdall or odin stops there.
The device was booting into stock properly before I flashed the ROM incorrectly. I flashed the 5100 version of the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/10-inch-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-cm13-0-t3303800

Update your bootloader to jelly bean. Flash from odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642005
Refer to this. Will work, no need to worry.

Sorry for replying so late, I have been really busy lately.
I am unable to update my bootloader: odin either outright fails or hangs on SetupConnection forever. After weeks of recearch and attempts, I see no answer. I guess I really am bricked forever? Damn.

Rooted Note 5 restarts when on call and i cant unroot

I have a rooted Note5 that i cant unroot no matter what i do it just wont unroot (Odin always fails).
The phone restarts during call for no reason and i found out that its only when the screen is dark while on a call.
I cant even update my phone because it just wont install any PA no matter what i do.
I think there's something wrong with the Kernel or maybe the whole system is ****ed up because after i rooted everything started happening when my brother messed it all up, so my phone has a security "Device Manager" and after the root it said "threat found", to fix press restart so he did... after that my phone just went to Samsung logo and off again and again. So i went to Odin and tried a bunch of firmware until i got it to turn on. But ever since that i cant unroot and my phone keeps restarting during calls.
Please help with anything I'm willing to pay if necessary.
Also, im sure its just because its rooted but whenever the phone turns on it says in red "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing"
I've tried everything that i know, i wouldn't be posting if i haven't searched everything and everywhere.
Thanks

To fix your issues you are having you need to flash @jovy23 's stock-modified kernel in tarp recovery.
Here is the link to jovy23's stock rooted kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ernel-stock-modified-kernel-touchwiz-t3194148
No need to unroot.
Good luck, Have a great day.

Do you have TWRP installed? You should know this if you are rooted.
The link I gave you (jovy23's) only has only ONE download link.
The download link is for the stock-modified kernel which you
need to copy to your phone's internal sdcard and flash it in twrp.
You don't need to do anything with Odin to fix the problem you
are having. You only need to flash the kernel using TWRP.
The download link is RED with BIG BOLD letters saying "DOWNLOAD". LOL

Ok ive done that before without knowing what i was doing now i know, but it still doesnt work, this is what i did.
Downloaded the kernel and ive tried 3 different TWRP Apps and it reboots my device and it takes to system recovery and i cant do anything from there except reboot, ive Pressed all 3 apply from... and it just gives me an action message that it failed to apply. Also At the bottom of system recovery theres a action message that says "dm-verity verification failed"
Idk what that is or if its normal but just letting you know just in case

I imagine you got it figured out by now but it sounds like you don't have TWRP installed. You do that with Odin, we all start somewhere so I am not going to say you should know this or that but I will say go back to the general section and follow one of the guides to get it set up. I would start over if I were you by following one of said guides.

Samsung Galaxy Brickphone Plus

Hey,
I was running Car HD Rom and just was in holiday when today on my way back suddenly navigation und music stopped and the phone then said "Downloading, do not turn of target". That continued, nothing worked. No boot in recovery, no system.
Now at home I downloaded the OFW via Samfirmware Tool and flashed it, all slots except the PIT. The phone started into the official Samsung recovery, and I pressed "reboot to system". Since then it is in a Bootloop. I tried to flash again but Odin says error "(DeviceInfo), also if I try to flash a older firmware. So yeah I'm clueless, knox is still triggered so warranty doesn't help much either.
Please help.

maybe vol down + Bixby + power to enter phone into download mode without going into recovery and try flashing the rom again with odin that way?

We need more info op. We cant help you if you dont provide us with details!
Device model would help alot.
Twrp installed?

Make sure you're not using a modified odin. In odins settings make sure you select the nand erase all option and repartition

G955F and I'm in DBT.
As said, only Download Mode works. Nothing else. And ofc after flashing the OFW there is no TWRP anymore. And as I said, I can't flash the OFW again since it runs into "DeviceInfo" error. It's standard Odin 3.12.3. Nand erase runs into "Write Error", re-partition doesn't work either. Everything via Odin runs into FAIL.

PUSH
I just saw an hour ago this thread (eventhough it was created hours after my last answer) and tried the KIES way since everything in Odin is FAIL. After KIES was done the phone threw me into the official samsung recovery again just like before, I just tapped on "Reboot to system" again and now I'm like half an hour waiting again. So I guess that doesn't work either. Should I have done anything there? Like Factory Reset or delete cache? Is it even normal that it boots into recovery?

Now I'm totally locked. After an hour of waiting I tried again with Odin which failed, then I tried overall 4 times with Kies again which failed, and I just tried with SmartSwitch which failed also. I'm clueless..

Yeah but I said, SmartSwitch failed also.
I just found and tried this and it worked. I flashed again the latest firmware from Samfirmwares with Re-partition and Nand-erase in Odin, I'm back in the recovery again where I always get the error "failed to mount /efs". I'm afraid to press on "Reboot system now" because I guess it won't work just like before.
