Basically My galaxy S2 was rooted and do not remember the root name etc... everything was working great until I installed a new font, the phone rebooted and was on start up screen for more than 3 hours.
After looking for solution and fielding with it, I ended up in worst place now!!
Cannot enter recovery mode anymore (volume up + Home + power)
The screen is Stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
Cannot connect with Kies
However I can enter the Download mode and connect with ODIN
Tried to install many firmwares but ODIN fails!!

Post in Galaxy S2 threads I'm sure there is the answer..
also provide more details i.e. Odin log/output
I did the same exact thing. Went to s2 forum and it shows u how to reset your phone to factory. Then all you need is to re root and voila. Back on game mode!!!::good:
Like many people out there with the S3, we've got problems flashing back to stock firmware. Over the past week I was not very impressed with the firmware that I flashed as it was having issues randomly restarting, the camera didn't work, rear LED didn't work, and the screen itself was very laggy. Back to stock, but rooted, to get rid of all the bloatware.
Anyway, the problem I was having, along with others, was Odin 3.07/3.09 was failing on Get PIT for Mapping. It would fail every single time. Didn't matter what I did; switch to another USB, another port, change firmware, nothing mattered. But, in my instance, I've so far solved it, but sheer luck it appears.
I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile, using a Samsung ST150F camera USB instead of the stock USB and the blue Dynex cable (which works much better than the stock cable.
Using an old Toshiba Satellite P205D-S7438's upper left USB port, laptop is running Windows 7 32bit.
All Samsung drivers were installed before starting Odin.
So, here's what I did exactly:
1: Download Samsung Switch from Play Store, connect phone while on and functioning.
2: Start Odin 3.07.
3: Load firmware from SamMobile onto PDA.
4: Wait until Odin says "Leave CS" then restart S3 into Download Mode/Odin Mode (Hold Power, Volume Up, and Home key. Release Power key after first vibration).
5: Odin will print "Removed" then "Added" after phone has restarted.
6: Click "Start" then wait.
So far it's working flawlessly as it's "optimizing" apps. We'll give a good test run to make sure that all is well.
I purchased a tablet for my son used for Christmas and it has been working well until the other day when it will not charge and it only boots the the Samsung Galaxy TabPro screen. I have tried the button combinations to get to the recovery screen but it never comes up. It was rooted with Cyanogenmod prior to me purchasing. I can get to the screen that says Downloading... Do not turn off target!!. I downloaded Odin and tried to flash a new image which seemed to upload fine but the same issue occurs. Any ideas?
Thank you
Are you full wiped after flashing the ROM , included Cache and Dalvik ?
Download samsung kies the first one not 2 or 3 and put in model and serial number to get stock firmware. Attach your tablet and put it in download mode. You will be stock again and of course you have the option to root but you will have to do that after flashing the stock firmware. That should fix your problem. I have the Samsung kies file for a 64 bit computer if u need it.
It might be a bad battery.

I have been checking the site for almost any issue that i had and I always got a solution, but sadly this time I didn't find anything (probably due to being too busy to make time for searching)
unfortunately the device does not boot at all, it stops at the samsung logo
I cannot go into recovery in order to wipe data or cache
I can go into download mode, but odin cannot get past the initialization and sometimes stops at connection setup. Tried to install TWRP and clockwork but both did not install.
I heard that knocking the phone on the power button side may be of help, but it did nothing
I also left it on the samsung logo for almost 8 hours but still no luck.
Is there anything left to test? am i doing something wrong?
I had almost same situation before due to trying to root my gt-i9192 abd it was solved by samsung kies
Install kies not kies3 and cinbect your phone then go to firmware recovery menu and follow the instructions usually it will ask you to enter device name in capital letters then serial number and it will install complete stock room which is 4.2.2
I have installed Kies 2.6, 2.5 and other older verions. When I enter the model, Kies does not accept it
At the sticker behind the battery the model is GT I9192 but Kies does not accept it
Hello!
Few days ago i found my Samsung Tab 3, and decided to charge it and biit it up.
It got stuck on Samsung logo when i booted it.
So i did a factory reset using the recovery mode.
After i did that the device booted up. with lots of errors.
I was on the setup screen for my device and these errors appeard and said like core has stopped working and every like preinstalled app on my samsung device aswell (NAME has stopped working). So i was not able to fullfill the setup of my device.
I read about it online and a firmware upgrade could fix the problem ( Like the easiest way i read )
So i did some googling and downloaded Odin and a firmware. Followed a guide and did everything right. BUT the process faild like 8min into the flash.
And now my device is stuck on "download mode" but with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I cant get the phone to turn off, nor get into recovery mode or anything else. I tried flash again but no luck.
I also tried another firmware i found. still same problem.
How do i fix this and how can i use my samsung tab 3 again.
WHen i bought it years ago i never really used it. So it's in "new shape" and has never really been used. And now i wanna give it to my little sister for some kids games to play at Xmas.
I hope we can solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

That depends on various things, such as the Android version, kernel and change ID. Than also the Odin version you've used and/or the settings during the attempt of flashing. I found that using the wrong Odin version on a particular Android version, that may prevent the flash of being successfull. B.t.w, did you format both user and cache partition while trying to reset to factory default?

Yeah, I've found out what Odin version to use that worked for others. I've downloaded lots of different firmwares and such and tried. ALL fails.
When i did a factory reset i also cleared cash and user.
Now i cant even turn off the damn thing. If i charge it up and start, it just goes directly to the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and if i try to turn it off, it just reboots and goes back. And i cant even return to factory reset page.
I think that my Micro-USB cable might not work for this, or is that a thing? Do i need a good cable from PC to Phone for this? Or does any cable work?
I just want this tab to work. been trying for weeks.
Thanks for your reply. I hope we can sort this out.

It is quite easy to turn the device off, for that to happen you have to press and hold the on/off button. You'll see that the device will shutdown and try to reboot and then finally shuts down again and stay off, then release the on/off button.
Are you sure trying to flash the correct firmware with correct changes, etc??
Please share with us the device and Android version, as well as the stock ROM version with changes you're trying to flash.
Put (copy and paste) the output of Odin below.
Another way to get the firmware flashed is by using Heimdall, but for that to happen you first need to rename the extension of the stock ROM (remove .md5 and leave .tar) and than extract all seperate pieces that are contained within the stock ROM.
All those extracted pieces from the stock ROM you have to upload seperately onto Heimdall and try to flash them to your tablet, one by one.
Heimdall you'll find 'here' or use FWUL instead which has Heimdall pre installed, download is to be found 'here' and install it on a USB medium a stick, to put FWUL onto USB, use Balena-Etcher and the download is to be found 'here'.
Micro USB cable does work, but if you're unsure, try another one and make sure using the correct drivers too.
Using Odin, make sure the tablet is recognised and 'connected' in Odin, also make sure 'repartitioning' is unchecked.
If you've used the wrong Odin version, flashing will fail!

You're welcome.
Hi, complete novice here, does anyone know where I can get a working Firmware for my Tab 3 v7 (SM-210)?
I have searched through various forum articles here, and tried to install with several builds but none will install. The only one that gets anywhere near is the JASBR build by gr8nole. It appears to install, but on restart, the TAB just sits on the "Samsung Tab3" start screen.
I read that I may need to flash the firmware 4.4.4 (Kit Kat), but can't find it!
The unit is not totally bricked (yet), as I can run TWRP 2.8, with which I created a backup of the original build, but when I try to restore the backup, it fails at just over 31%.
Can anyone help please?
