[Q] Problem in Note 2 Boot + Firmware installation

Dear XDA
I am facing a very serious problem with my Note 2 (Samsung) since noon today . Literary, I tried to reinstall (Jellybean 4.1.2) Firmware and unfortunately, during the process I had my PC off, which resulted in the following message;
"Firmware encountered an upgrade issue. Please Select Recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried Kies later, but It was not connecting , then reading few help blogs, I tried to install in mobile (cwm6-root-note2- with recovery zip inside) with the help of Odin, which has stopped the Firmware encountered message and replaced it with "Samsung Note II" logo and further its says updating package and restarts continually.
I also tried to install again official 4.1.2 Firmware through Odin after (Vol Down+Centre+Power - and Up) but Failed.
I dont know what to do , please help me out from this issue . it is killing me.
Thank you

I faced the same problem few days back...
Start kies on ur laptop ( dont connect ur phone yet )
Choose initialisation option
Enter model number
Enter serial number
Now connect ur phone with pc in download mode
Pls make sure u have high speed net for 2-3 hrs...
Bcuz kies download the full rom as per ur serial number

Yes do as MAX says , because i suspect you installed 4.3 and now you want to come back to 4.1.2 ,
and i think it will not be so easy as it shows in the post i showed you.

No No and Honestly I didnt try that ... I just wanted to freshen my mobile by reinstalling official Firmware 4.1.2 .... oh anyways good news is that I recovered my mobile by following the bellow steps ..
1. Downloaded Official Firmware "N7100XXDMB5_N7100OJVDMB1_N7100XXDLK7_HOME.tar"
2. Opened Odin
3. and upload the "N7100XXDMB5_N7100OJVDMB1_N7100XXDLK7_HOME.tar" in PHONE section under PDA (Not PDA) & pressed Start
4. The installation went well but with problems in upgrading applications and continual restarting.
5. again opened Odin and this time I uploaded the official Firmware in PDA and installation went well
6. Booting and registeration also went well.
7. Mobile is back on life
But But
Now my colleague has messed with Note 3 and it also gives the same msg as i had in the beginning "firmware upgrade encountered an issue".
Thank you max621 for your kind help, I will try those for Note3 instead.
Thanks for reading.

Try to Remove the battery and try to access the RECOVERY
the FIRMWARE was damaged.
I wish that you have nandroid backups there.
I already experienced that and just rebooted to recovery and restoring by nandroid.

Glad to see your phone is back up and running ...
next time you want refresh your phone , just do simple factory reset!

Glad to hear that u recovrr ur phone.. but for note3 u must install kies3 first....

Try to explain better! Do you have installed custom recovery?

no i installed a modified multi language rom from "needroom" did every as told and everything looked fine during the upgrade and when i was finished i got the green circle that says it was ok but when started it up it went in to boot loop and said "TOOL DL image fail!" but after a while its totally dead.,when i try now it wont load in any software into the phone ,just starts up the purple pre preparation on the SP flash tool but when i connect the phone it stops .cant get it into recovery mode or anything,just completely dead. i would rely be thankful for some advice her

Maybe the package you've tried to install is corrupted.

most likely, but is there anything to do with it or is it over for it.

Most likely your device is unusable. Without any recovery, I dont think you will be able to do anything. I am sorry.

OK a 200$ experience richer , thanks anyway

you removed your phone in a vital area (where it just deleted the old files and before it had installed the new files(partitions) if your phone won"t do anything you need to bring it it if it boots to downloadmode reflash and treat the pc,usb cable & phone like it is a bomb that can go off with the slightest touch

need HELP with "firmware upgrade encountered an issue"

Hello fellow community!
On first place i want to excuse myself for my bad English!!
I have soft bricked T-Mobile (USA) Samsung Galaxy S4 and everything i found in the web DIDN'T help me to recover my phone...
Here is my history for what i did to bring this condition of my phone.
I was on Original T-Mobile 4.4.2 Stock ROM working normal without any issues. But 2 or 3 months ago i was curious about installing on my phone CUSTOM " CYANOGENmod" rom 5.x.x NIGHTY edition. At all installing on that custom ROM was without problems and phone for this 2~3 months works flawlessly "normal"... all this time i updates every day this custom theme and I'm understand this is NIGHTY but at the end i was kind tired from this NOT exactly real and fully functioned replica of custom ROM and get decision to restore my ORIGINAL status of the phone and put latest (4.4.4) Stock ROM. 1st i download 4.4.4 ROM "M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5" for my T-Mobile phone. I put in in DOWNLOAD mode. Connect phone to my computer.. and Start ODIN3 v3.10.6 ( didn't install Samsung drivers because i already have installed them !! ). In AP i put latest ROM... checked was ONLY options Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time ... NO Re-Partition was checked or pit file wasn't given !! Jus i hit the SATRT and receive that !...
everything was fine till the end !!! Flashing stops on try to flash hidden.img.ext4 with error and FAIL all process !!!
I CANT understand where is my problem and what i can do to flash my phone normally?
Please community help me to solve this problem..
1 year ago i have almost the same problem but with the same error "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and remember here on XDA DEVELOPERS i read the guide how to recovery phone after that but TBH i cant find this guide now with all my searching attempts..
Please for HELP!
and Thank you in Advance for your support!!..
Cheers!

Not 100% sure but you needed to do a factory reset before flashing stock firmware.
You can't flash kitkat over lollipop before doing factory reset because they are two different firmwares.
Try doing a factory reset and flashing again, if it fails pull battery, replace battery and go straight into download mode, connect to pc and flash again with odin.
Sometimes the double flash can be successful.
Good luck.

Failed to get PMT info, is it bricked for good?

Hi,
So today suddenly my phone restarted and after that it was stuck on the micromax logo, I coudnt get into recovery either. So I tried to flash the stock kitkat rom using sp tools, it did manage to flash it the first time but the phone after that wont start at all, nothing not even the charging screen.
Is it bricked for good? I tried to flash it again but if I choose firmware upgrade or download+firmware upgrade in sp tools I get the pmt info error. Is there any way to get the phone back to a working state? Any help would be much apprecited.
Note: I did look through the old post on the similar topic where the guy managed to solve the problem by using a latest version of sp tools, Im already using the latest version , no dice.

Did you get anywhere with this to unbrick the device as I have similar with a GDP XP and it wont now boot or show charge its just dead!
Any help on fixing this would be great as we cant be alone with this. ATB
