phone boots straight to odin mode help!

my friend tried to root his T999 but messed up on a step im guessing so now his phone will boot straight to odin mode. i tried putting it in download mode and use odin3 to restore it back to stock but odin3 would get stuck at the "nand write start" stage. his phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." when it is powered up. does anybody know how to fix this issue?? any help would be great! i googled everything that i could think of and tried everything that was suggested but nothing works! thanks in advance!!

Contradictory. Is it in download mode or isn't it?
You did not say what was being flashed with Odin, either.

Phones do not boot into ODIN. You will have to provide more info so we can help.
Links to the ROM or software you used etc.

ok i shouldve explained this a little more clearly. when i power on the phone it says this...
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (10 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
so i pulled the battery, put it in download mode (vol down + home + power) ran ODIN3, and tried to flash SGH-T999_TMB_T999UVALH2_T999TMBALH2_Original (which is a stock image) thats when it gets stuck at the NAND write start!!

I could be completely wrong but it appears you tried to install an incompatible rom.

are you talking about the SGH-T999_TMB_T999UVALH2_T999TMBALH2_Original file?

Yes. I have not seen MBALH2 before regarding the tmo galaxy s3. I could be wrong. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.

i also used this file too
T999UVDLJC_T999TMBDLJC_T999UVDLJC_HOME.tar
i downloaded the firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-T999

If I understand correctly you flashed that after the first one. I'm not a IT guy, but to the best of my understanding if you flash a ROM intended for another device you are going to have major issues. Sorry. I know my answers are not what you are looking for. I am trying to give you a heads up for your friends phone.

well i am trying to flash the correct firmware for his tmobile S3.

He didn't flash the wrong file. Some other issue. Try a different data cable and USB port.

Download the appropriate zip for your carrier from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and then flash with odin. Keep in mind the person that hosted these hosted them on a website with incredibly slow download times. It often cuts out on you too, so make sure at the end of the download the file size is right. You may have gotten a bad download earlier.

I would recommend installing kies from samsung and trying to flash the firmware with them. That should fix it no matter what and make sure that you do have the right drivers installed. Also make sure you have the right version of odin running. Here is download link for kies on PC (I assume you have PC) http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201306/20130612104232657/KiesSetup.exe just install, plug your phone in and hopefully it recognizes it. Even if it doesn't, it might install some drivers that make odin work. Let me know if it fixes it

[Q] Trying to install firmware, but Odin failed and now phone won't boot

I was trying to install the latest firmware on my son's M919 via Odin 3.09. I downloaded M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB from SAMMOBILE and went to Odin to install. The installation failed. The error said Fail (auth). Now when the phone boots, it goes to a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I downloaded both versions of Kies, but neither one can see the phone in Firmware emergency recovery. I can still get into Download mode, but have been unable to successfully flash any stock firmware. I notice on the screen that the phone says SYSTEM STATUS: Official and WRITE PROTECTION: Enable. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is possible that the file you downloaded from sammobile did not finish correctly and is corrupt. Try redownloading it and try it again. I dont think it will make any difference but I usually will use odin 3.07.

I have downloaded files a couple of times. Even downloaded the file from the post in the General section of this forum. Used 3.09 and 3.07, all with the same results. I am using Windows 8 if that makes a difference. May try it on Windows 7 when I get a chance.

I used to have that a problem with my desktop that has windows 8. Recently I have been using my windows 7 laptop. There are different drivers needed when you are in download mode, plug it in when the phone is in download mode and let it search and find the drivers. You might even want to reinstall the samsung mobile drivers. I would also recommend to use the usb cable that came with the device. Best of luck.

It finds the drivers. I have done this on my Note 8.0 without issue. Not sure why this phone is giving me such grief.

The phone does show up in Odin in the com box correct? Even so I would still just do it on a Windows 7 computer.

Had you previously been using the modem/baseband from a firmware that you weren't officially on? i.e. NB4 modem/baseband on either MDL or MK2 bootloader? If so, revert just the modem to your bootloader version and then attempt the Odin flash again.

Honestly, I am not sure which version he was on. I had assumed the latest or at least 4.3. How would I install just the modem?

Yes, Odin sees that there is a device on the COM port.

Success. Windows 7, 4.4.2, and Odin 1.85. Flashed without issue. Thanks everyone.

It would replace your installed ROM; if you're just looking for the new modem, there's a thread that has it posted in it (sorry, I'm on mobile, or I'd dig it up for you).
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app

So, I downloaded the new firmware from SamMobile, since I was using TWRP and the OTA wouldn't have worked.
Link is here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/54333/M919UVUFOH3_M919TMBFOH3_TMB/
I had to restart my download several times to get it to finally download completely. Luckily, Firefox would restart where it failed each time, so didn't have to restart from beginning each time. But, it took quite a while - several hours.
BTW, I did a full NAND backup with TWRP before I started this.
Used ODIN 3.09
Flashed once, but the bootloader and modem didn't take, so I did the double flash, and it worked.
To double flash:
Unchecked AutoReboot in ODIN
Flash the firmware once
Pull battery
Boot holding down Vol-Down button to get back to Download mode
Flash again
The problem with the single flash was my WiFi wouldn't turn on, and when I checked out the versions of the ROM, bootloader, modem using Samsung PhoneInfo from the Play Store, I saw the dreaded mis-matched versions.
Some of my partitions were still NH7. Evidently Samsung keeps a backup of some of the partitions and restores them when the phone is rebooted. Double flashing flashes overwrites this backup.
I rooted with CF-AutoRoot again, installed SuperSU, and was back to where I was.
UPDATE:
Only issue so far is that I had to clear the cache on the Play Store. Was getting a services error.
Rob

Thanks for the update. My own download from Sammobile completed successfully (miracle!) And I am considering doing a phone wipe/double flash/rebuild. May choose stock ROM and freeze the junk. I'm on MDL bootloader at the moment and a fairly old LTE modem.
Before I do anything i have to figure out how to back up my texts (in Slimkat messenger app) such that I can restore them properly into the new environment.

If you flash this firmware from SamMobile. It will overwrite your modem to the newest. It will un-root your phone. And, yes you can go directly to this version from your NB4 version.
So, after you flash this firmware you will have the newest modem. And, you will have to root your phone again.
ROM = ROM
Firmware = Modem + bootloader + ROM

frustrated foh3
This morning OTA pushed the new update to my phone and I accepted thinking there was a lollipop update finally. I had juke woken up and didn't bother to check first.
Anyway, I'm now on FOH3 and am just trying to install custom recovery on my otherwise un-molested phone. I've tried the heimdall option as well as the cf-auto root with odin 3.09 (even attempted the double flash) either I'm doing something wrong with Odin or missing a step because when I hit start I end with 0 succeeded/0 failed and it stays in download mode. When I attempt to reboot to recovery mode, I get the blue text stating booting recovery and then black screen which eventually just goes back to stock.
Is there some other method I need to try when rooting/installing trwp for FOH3?
[edit: I'm an idiot. assumed I already had debugging turned on. I did not. *facepalm*]
-thanks in advance
I haven't flashed a phone since my galaxy s blaze 4g.

Yes, you unzip the file to your computer. The .tar.md5 file is the one that you browse to and select in Odin.
Uncheck everything in Odin. Then, flash this firmware twice, with out letting your phone boot into the system. After the first flash is finished. Pull the battery. Put the battery back in and hold the Volume Down button while you power on the phone. This will put you back in Download mode. Then, flash the same firmware again.
After that second flash, you can boot your phone into the system normally.

If you really wanted to, you could leave those two checked on the second flash.
However, leaving them unchecked on both flashes will work, and are the easiest instructions to follow.

Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622790. If that doesnt work try DIFFERENT usb cables (official works best), verisions of odin and different usb ports. Make sure usb debugging checked and power down and pull battery, then put battery back and (while its off) hold just vol down then plug it in to the computer while odins open. If this stuff doesnt work it could be motherboard (its probably not though, dont worry). Good Luck, keep trying.

The model @ shown in download is the firmware you should be flashing, not the n7100.
Flash the latest ROM from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T889/

Your phone lols to have an n7100 recovery but it is a t889 in download mode.

lol so what the hell man it was that stupid one click root method or some **** that did it I could of factory reset just fine befor this...when I rooted I guess that chged my recorvery is ther sum way I can fix?
and thank for helpin m3

Just to confirm but you flashed t889 firmware in Odin?

nope never I just straight up rooted the phone...got stuck on the logo tried 1 flash 2 flash...got pissed of downloaded them all (sammobile) all failed all said same thing.....only thing that seems to do something is cwm4_fixed_forcm7-odin.tar
but never completes

So you never tried to flash t889 firmware from sammobile?
