[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

[Q] Think I've bricked it.

Hi, I installed Cyanogen without a problem however the USB connection did not work as well as some other things so I found the Note 2 stock ROM and went to try flash that.
However the USB connection not working seems to still be a problem as the ROM doesn't flash (failed) and isn't recognized by Kies if I try to do an emergency firmware recovery.
Help guys! I'm stuck at the either "downloading" screen when I turn my phone on to load the ROM or either "there was a firmware error", I cannot load my phone past that, arrrrgh!

looks like it is a driver issue . You can try installing the drivers manually or with a different pc which previously recognized Note 2 ..
Go to downloading mode and let the usb drivers install from online or windows update .. or try connecting a different Note 2 and check if your PC recognizes Note 2

You can just flash it again, try another computer, i HIGHLY recommended win 7 or xp, run odin "as administartor" mode
****make sure samsung usb driver is installed properly in your comouter****

can i have your pit file in your SM-T210?

As long as it can enter recovery mode and can be recognized, do a STOCK ROM FLASH (USE THE CLEAN METHOD OF FLASHING). Now attempt to do that flash again..
An image/screenshot of the problem might help us to help you.

Aw, im using smt311, but flashing with odinnis the simole way,, did yiu finish it?

same thing happened to my t217s when Samsung didn't do anything for a legit issue with my tablet during an OTA update and stated that it was rooted (it has been stock since out of the box). after many attempts (didn't have another computer available) i switched to a different usb port and got it flashed just fine.

hi can i ask something it happened i flash samsung j1 then suddenly in 90percent was cut and i cant go back to download mode. and the phone turn black and cant connect to pc. Can Please can you help me?

I had a similar situation with a Galaxy SM-T113 here in Canada. I was hammering away at it for about 4 days with no luck. All i got was the "use Kies" to fix it message. Kies would not detect my phone though. Anyway what i did that worked was in part already tried earlier.. I already tried for example using a different cable and a different port. And i always got a failure with Odin and attempting the stock firmware flash.
So what did i do ?
I unplugged my Gamepad i keep plugged in 24/7 thinking maybe i had too many USB devices hogging USB port bandwidth.. maybe that was it I don't know.. I also uninstalled Kies but this time i said yes to installing the unified driver it asks you about. I also changed to yet another USB port.
It was working fine before hand.
I was trying to flash the firmware simply to reset the thing like i have done on countless other devices over the years.
I am not new to this sort of thing and was rather surprised to see Odin fail.
So who knows maybe my post here will help others.
I feel relieved i did not brick a perfectly good device. LOL

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. ?

Help recovering from KIES

Does anyone know if KIES 3 supports the note 4 yet? When i plug it KIES says the device sis unsupported to try back when it's supported... i need to do an emergency firmware recovery. Odin crashed mid-way through the auto-root process and corruption the firmware. Can not get to recovery or download mode. Just a screen instruction to recover from KIES. I attached a picture of the screen for reference. Any help would be much appreciated!

Get a diferrent Odin the one that came in that cf auto did the same to me i used a different one and put the phone in download mode and did the process again and worked

Odin
try Odin 3
it worked fine for me. Download the firmwares at sammobile. :laugh:
