i was running ics on my galaxy. The phone was rooted. I wanted to use odin to flash a stock att ics rom. It got hung and i unplugged it and now all i get is an error messege that firmware upgrade encountered an issue. kies won't reconize the phone. odin will, but nomatter what rom i try to flash it get stuck at the system part. Please help.
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
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....
So my Galaxy S3 for Virgin im guessing is bricked. I first had rooted and flashed to a Kitkat rom but now im trying to revert back to Stock and completely unroot it as if i had never done it. I looked online and found a "fix" where i used odin to flash back to stock, but that didnt work and it failed so now im stuck at the screen on my phone that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and Try again." the thing is Kies wont recognize my phone. someone please help
Hello there,
In February, I flashed DN3 into my note 2 [GT-N7100] and didn't change since then. Yesterday I decided to go back to stock as the DN3 started to be slow for me. So i downloaded a stock from sammobile and flashed it through odin. Now heres the problem, the odin failed flashing, and my note restarted to a message saying [Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.] and in download mode it says Knox Void=1 (keep in mind i can access download mode).
I would really love some help as I did my research and couldn't find someone with a similar problem.

What version of stock are you trying to install?
If you are coming from a KIt Kat version of DN3 then as far as i know you cant go below a certain version of android 4.2.2 i think (dont quote me on that) due to the fact the (knox)boot loader isnt compatible. i have read that you cant go back to 4.1.2 but you should be able to install the OFW Kit Kat release via Samobile.
