Try once more.
Odin did that to me where everything in the log was successful, but failed in the end. I tried again and it worked. I don't know why.

have tried a bunch of times now. i have tried a handful of different .tar files too. I cant get any of them to work =[

I am new all this and am learning to tinker, brick and fix too.
Here is a trick I came up with. Get a Micro SD card. Download a ROM and anything else you need to it. Put in phone. Go into recovery. Flash away.

I cant even get into recovery =[

Your problem is probably beyond me in my learning curve.
But, just to make sure you know this trick. Pull the battery. Place fingers on Power, Home and Volume Up buttons. Hold those buttons tightly while inserting the battery. Keep holding until the recovery screen appears.
Good luck!
If I find or figure out another method I will post again.

You can not downgrade because of your sboot try the mc2 odin file.

i need to get rooted cause i want this rom but i will take anything now rooted non rooted i just want my phone fixed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512419&highlight=fd24
it (auto root) made my phone say "firmware upgrade encountered and issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
my first device. i couldnt connect to odin and computer wouldnt recognize device so i took it to sprint and they gave me a replacement.
i figured it was a bad download or something so i downloaded it again today and it messed this phone up to only this phone connects to pc and is recognized but when i try to upload the rom on the regular odin and not the one click it stuck at rqt_close and im confused as to what to do now. i dont even have to be rooted anymore i just want a rom on this phone i was out of a phone for 5 days for that Rom and its messed me over again.
1st time it stuck at factoryfs.img then i got replacement and it stuck at modem and then i took out battery after it was froze for like 25 mins. please help me!!!
Have you tried a different USB cable and/or computer?
yes ive tried a different cable but i only have this one computer. its recognizable through odin and my computer im a little dissapointed though. ive been flashing roms for 2 yrs almost and this has never happened to me

Can you get into recovery mode?
no i cant get into recovery just that dreadful notice but i can get into download mode, so thats a good thing im guessing.
i get all the way to the end to rqt_close then it says my device has been removed like odin is kicking me out or something. i dont unplug my phone or anything but it gets all the way to the end then says removed then failed
You get that message whenever ODIN doesn't complete a download. It doesn't mean much, other than the previous download didn't complete.
Is ODIN flashing anything or does it just stop right away?
If you are using regular ODIN, can you double-check you are using the PDA slot and not the Phone slot?
sfhub knows WAY more about Odin then I do but did you also try to Odin a different stock build to see what happens?

no ive only been trying the el29 one the rooted one, then i tried the el29 that was just stock and not rooted.
Is this the NoData or Full version you are flashing?
Try the NoData if you are using the Full.
I'm curious, you were on ICS before. Did you happen to do a wipe/factory restore or nandroid restore using ICS kernel and custom recovery?

Well first if you look in the reference section B in the one you've been trying to Odin(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101&highlight=el29+root) there's separate tar files for the modem, kernel, and rom. Why don't you try doing each one one at a time to see if anything will succeed.
And if that doesn't work try to Odin one of the leaked stock ICS builds sfhub has also.
This is what happens when I do it manually without the auto package.

No problem, just let us know how it goes.
Don't worry about flashing the NoData version, you don't have the issue I was thinking you might.
Why don't you just flash the modem by itself and see if that works. As the previous poster mentioned, it is in the 2nd post reference section.
If it doesn't work, then just flash the kernel by itself. It should work, and then your phone shouldn't complain about the last flash failing and theoretically should boot. Basically you have completed flashing everything but the modem.
If it still doesn't boot, then ODIN flash CWM only and then flash the modem from recovery. This will increment your ODIN flash count, but it is better than a phone not working.

Just flash the modem. The reboot option should be checked. When it is done flashing the modem, it should reboot. If it hangs like before, boot back into ODIN DL mode and flash just the kernel.
The individual components are 7zip self-extractors, so you double-click on them to get the .tar.md5 file. All the .tar.md5 files can go into the PDA slot (including the modem). No need to use the Phone slot.

Sfhub,I noticed that a while ago in your directions about having the modem in the PDA slot. Why is it not done in the Phone spot anymore? Just curious is all.

When you package a modem.bin inside of a .tar.md5 it can flash in both the PDA and Phone slot. It is simpler for the instructions to ask people to always use the PDA slot.
If you flash a modem.bin file itself, then it must go in the Phone slot. If you flash the wrong file in the Phone slot, your phone won't boot. That is why I package things so people always use the PDA slot.

Sboot.bin won't downgrade the normal way from ma7 back to lk8/ljc etc. Garwynn has a work around for it somewhere in the dev section. I believe you need to use billards all in one revert to ljc with flash counter reset to downgrade the bootloader. This is why I didn't flash the bootloader with ma7 I just flashed the rom and modem. That way I wouldn't need to hassle around with downgrading it if I wanted to one click back to ljc instead of ma7

All systems are go on my phone now, I downloaded the stock file from Samsungupdates.com, then installed it thru Odin and it worked like a charm.
I did have to install it twice and it passed both time, It took to long the first time to reboot, so I deleted and did a factory reset then reinstalled the TAR.
I'm good to go

Going back to stock....I'm getting a fail

I reinstalled the drivers, reinstalled odin, re-downloaded the LJ1 MD5, used different cables, but everytime I getting this in the Odin screen

Well I was on the 4/10 nightly for CM 10.1, and I wanted to switch back to a stock TW ROM, so I downloaded and flashed PlainJane. Upon reboot my phone demanded that I reset my data because encryption had failed, and I never had my device encrypted, but the only thing I could do was press reset. So I did, and the phone booted into TWRP and flashed a quick message and rebooted to the same screen. I thought oh well no biggie I can restore my backup...NOPE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I got TWRP up and running and I'm flashing the stock reset now .

[Q] Phone stuck in recovery mode

Hello,
I have been trying to root my galaxy s3 sgh t999v by the root66 method. I have done this method before and then returned to stock, and now choosing to go back to a custom rom. However, this time odin has been failing and not allowing me to root my phone, I am using the right files as well as the stock cable that came with the s3. I have twrp installed by going through odin and installing that. But now it is stuck on either a boot loop or if I try installing the root66 or stock rom it will take me to the stuck in "please connect to kies " recovery mode screen..
Not sure what to do, any help is appreciated thank you

Heres the exact message
You can't downgrade, that's why you're getting that message. So either flash the same firmware version you had last, or a newer one
Yeah, that's 4.0.4 firmware. Try a more recent build. You can get it from my firmware thread too btw. Should give you a faster download.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Okay will try the same firmware, thanks for the quick replies
I have a bit of a problem, I was on 4.4.2 but I don't see any root66 methods for 4.4.2, will I have to find another method?
Oh ok. Didn't realize you were on the latest, sorry. Flash the official firmware and then root with Towelroot. I have a thread for this in the General section.
