[Q] Stuck with error message " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"

I tried to update my Samsung Galaxy Note II to 4.1.2 but I encountered an error on odin and now its stuck with the a message of " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
However Kies is not recognizing the phone when i plug it to the usb cable. but when i try odin it says its added. I cant get it to download mode.:crying:
How do I get this fixed?
I need your help badly...

what exactly you getting while rebooting to download mode?
If you getting msg to use recovery mode while rebooting to download mode, then this is also download mode, flash using odin

The same thing happened for me. It won't update no matter what you do. I tried reinstall kies and drivers but no luck.
And the strange part is if you like I did wait a couple of days the update won't be available anymore. It will start saying that you already have the latest firmware. I read somewhere that it was maybe caused because samsung found a bug in the firmware and then they quickly rool it back

Any help on the above post would be greatly appreciated.
I believe my issue is that I tried rooting it but had the "new" firmware on the device so the root process didn't work. Now, from what I can tell, the boot.img is fubar'd.
I can't charge the phone when it's off. Goes straight to the firmware upgrade failed screen. I try to ODIN factory image and it fails on write of boot.img.
Had the device a whole 2 hrs before it became a paper weight.:crying:

Can you go into download mode?

Happened to me once as well,i accidently lost the USB connection from the PC and all i did was go into the KIES thing and then click on emergency firmware recovery.It worked well for me but in your case you might consider going into download mode(vol down + home + power button) and then flashing a new stock firmware from samfirmware via ODIN

I'm not 100% clear on this. Have you tried booting into download mode and installing via odin? From what it seems, that seems to be your best option.

Have you tried a different USB cable or USB port on your PC?
Is your device stock and unrooted?
And yes, Odin is much easier. Have to find the firmware though. Try googling it or sammobile. Com.
And if you use Odin, end all processes of kies first. ?

[Q] wrong firmware flashed accidentally

Well guys I've sunk to a low.
After countless websites and hours of searching, I can't find the stock firmware for my Samsung galaxy tab 3 7" 4.1.2 model 8 gb tablet firmware original model was the sm-t210r. Somehow I managed to flash the firmware for the sm-t211 . I don't have a backup of the original rom and I can't download any "True firmware" on my phone since my Internet is down. The wifi doesn't even connect because apparently it's an Italian variant or somewhere along that nature rendering it useless in the US.......
For the record, I was trying to flash back to stock so I could accept the update I had for the tablet. Also when I attempt to go to stock recovery it splits the android to the 4 corners of the screen in pink and green hues along with the menus. When I manage to get into recovery, I have to blindly navigate my way through because somedivisions of the android have taken over the menu option I'm trying to get to and it doesn't recognize the command at times. When I connect my tablet to ththe computer, it says through Kies that the device isn't compatible with it and won't connect fully.
Any help or redirection would be appreciated

You will have to get an internet connection and download the T210R firmware from sammobile.com. The US version will be listed as Cellular South.
If you are looking for the 4.1.2 version, you can download it faster from HERE.

Thank you gr8nole! It got me back to where I needed to be. It still recognized it as sm-t211 on the laptop but it's showing as the 210r. As soon as I get to work for my wifi unless I can find a root method for the ng5 build of the sprintGalaxy s4 triband to get a hotspot working, I'll let you know if it updates.

Samsung GT-I9192 starts and shutdown after its Logo and again starts and so on...

Hello Everyone,
This is my first thread on this forum, which i am making because I ran out of options, and don't know what to do....
My Samsung Galaxy S4 mini(GT-I9192) were shut down automatically when i am using it.After then I started my phone again
it starts normally but after the details Samsung Galaxy S4 mini(GT-I9192)comes and it again turn off and again restarts and
this process is going again and again.As I tell you my phone doesn't stuck on a boot as my phone restarts again before the samsung logo comes.
I've tried Emergency firmware upgrade and Initialization through kies but after entering model no. and S/N,
It says 'GT-I9192' does not support initialization. I've done that before with kies it never gives that error I don't know why now.
After That I tried to install stock firmware by Odin in download mode, The process gets completed pass message comes after that my phone reboots in recovery mode and a message print on the bottom "did not match size '/system/csc/common/system/csc/others.xml' (no data available)" i don't know what is that for and after that i reboot my phone and still same thing...
After all that I think maybe its an hardware issue but if it is an hardware issue then how my phone starts and again shutdown so i don't think it's an hardware issue btw i don't know what it is.
So Please If anyone Have any Solution please help me.
Thank You

I have same problem on my galaxy s4 mini gt-i9195 LTE.
first the phone doesnt wanna turn on at all, just show as QHSUSB_DLOAD
after xx hours googling for solution i try unbrick.img which bring the screen back in live:good:
then i try several roms but the phone reject the flash, so i try flash with original stock rom, that went successful
but that doesnt change something, still keep rebooting, even when load recovery it get reboot and keep rebooting.
I don't think that this might be a hardware issue, but something wrong with the android partitions.
I'll keep playing with it hope i find some solution.
If someone read this and has same or similar issue, please post what you have try so far, so we can work on it and find the problem.:highfive:

Thanks for your reply...
As my phone were start after flashing so many times and now it says Device Memory Corrupted Please reset your device to default
settings and there is a reset tab which doesn't working when i keep pressing that so now i think that maybe my eMMC chip was damaged well exactly i don't know that yet....
well for you just try connecting through kies and do a firmware upgrade and if that doesn't working than flash it through odin and also download PIT file for re-partition....
