I rooted my phone without a problem. I installed a rom, and I didn't like it. I decided to go back to the stock rom, but Odin gave me an error. Right now the phone says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. I can't seem to get into recovery mode, only download mode. Odin is not working though, so what can I do?
I was able to start the phone with the file I used to root. :/
yes, you are soft bricked
flash this in odin. its the stock tar. You can use Odin just plug the phone in while its on that error screen. https://s3.amazonaws.com/test_file_66/root66_TMO_T999UVALH2.7z
Restart odin, if you attempt to use it after a failed flash it won't detect the device.
And make sure u use the cable that come with the phone

Thank you. I wasn't able to use Odin in the computer. I had to use Mobile Odin, and it worked!

I have a major issue. I flashed a new rom but my phone got stuck in bootloop. I went into recovery and tried to flash my backup. When I went into recovery my usb storage was unmounted. So I figured I'd go into oden and flash a new kernal. When I did this I placed the file in the phone section not the pda section of oden. I realized this mistake after I started to flash and paniced and unplugged the usb. Now when I turn my phone on its stuck at a screen that says hook the phone up to kies and go into kies recovery. It will still let me get into download mode. Anyone know how to fix and what is all needed to fix, kernal, drivers etc....... Thanks

New to Samsung(coming from HTC EVO3D). I was trying to install an update(from the wrong forum i9100 FACEPALM). Anyway, now I have an error message that says to use Kies recovery mode. I can't seem to connect to Kies. Someone please give me some tips. Not rooted and was not looking to root. Just want to do some sort of factory reset to get my device back to normal. Any ideas on what or how I should proceed? TIA
Since you flashed the international version your USB is disabled and if I remember correctly can only be fixed by JTAG. If you have a MicroSD card you can still flash by Mobile ODIN - but be careful doing any wipes from an ICS kernel, including any from the stock recovery. Hope that helps.
Figured it now!! flashed a gingerbread stock rom and now I'm all good!
how did you do it? i am having the same problem
You able to get into download mode? If so just download a stock GB rom and flash in Odin.

can you give a little more insight on that? i'm trying to get into download mode, but i'm stuck at a screen that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
(kies won't recognize the phone)
before i was at this screen, i was trying to use odin one-click install to get ICS onto an at&t galaxys2 i727.
any help on how i can get back into download mode, or somewhere else where i can do something, would be a big help.

I actually just encountered this, and I found this way out, I flashed the AGAT recovery with the odin executable.
I flashed to a rooted stock rom and everything worked fine, although I was getting nothing but force closes. So I decided to flash back to stock non-rooted. Odin got suck during "system" so I unplugged the phone from the pc, closed odin, removed the battery and reinserted it, booted into download mode, and tried to flash again. now, odin just keeps getting stuck no matter what I try to flash it with. I also tried doing the "unbrick phone using international gsm boot image" but it's currently stuck on "getting pit for mapping"..
Note: Before I tried flashing to a rooted stock rom, I was on UCALH9, and the rooted stock rom was a UCALG1, and the non-rooted stock rom was UCALG1... I don't know if that will make a difference or not but I thought i'd just put that up there as a reference maybe
please help
thanks

I have the galaxy m919, and had a bad flash yesterday. My phone is now softbricked, and I am unsuccessful in fixing it.
I have run ODIN with a PDA file and it did not fix the problem. I am pretty sure I also need a PIT file to load. I thought I had one saved from when I originally got my phone and decided to root it and put the Infamous rom on it, but can't find it for the hell of me.
All attempts to search for the files online just gives me .tar files.
Any suggestions?
If I was soft bricked I would flash the stock img. When you say bad flash I assume the process was interrupted. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392 and download the stock ROM open Odin and select PDA and find the stock MDL tar file and select it, then put your phone in download mode by pushing (volume down+home and power) then plug it in you your PC. Make sure the com window lights up and click start. Let the phone reboot and then re-root or do what you wish. I hope this helps. Good luck

Thank you! I wiped it in recovery, and it fires up just fine now on the stock rom I installed.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T and for about a year and a half always wanted to root it but had no idea how. I had an iPhone a while back and used to jailbreak it I became an expert at it. Rooting is not so easy compared at least with the problems I've been experiencing
I started by watching hundreds of root videos and ended up rooting it with Odin and Kit Kat tar file im not sure of the specific file but I'm almost 100% it was my version 4.4.2 that I flashed.
After I did this I downloaded the basics and tried to get TWRP but gooManager wasnt working for some reason.
I tried to flash the Cyanongen 11 onto my phone using the installer for the comp and on google play store and it worked up until the end I got the dead droid symbol for a bit and it finished downloading to show the "ROM may flash stock recover on boot. Fix?" error message and I selected no and "Root Access Possibly Lost Fix?" I also selected no. My phone booted with no custom rom still rooted and most of my apps are unresponsive and close randomly except facebook and youtube.
I decided I wanted to return it to stock rom and try again but when I downloaded the stock tar file and tried to flash it I got this
I'm not sure what to do because I cant return it to stock rom, clockmod recovery has stopped working, and every video I watch about how to fix it is only making it worse.
If you have any idea what I can do or what I'm doing wrong let me know.
Odin failed because you cannot flash older firmware. Your best bet is to reflash recovery via Odin, then if you want stock go to enewman17's stock rom/system dump thread in development and flash the rom and factory reset.

I tried to flash cwm recovery onto my phone usb debugging selected and now odin doesnt even show that my phones recognized. This is so frustrating.
I suggest installing Philz Touch recovery via Odin and using Philz to flash a custom ROM to at least get your phone up and running.

If Kies is on your computer, remove it. Have you tried reinstalling drivers?
