[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue error - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys..
I accidentally dropped my Galaxy Note II, and now I'm stuck at the Loading Screen (Default N7100 load screen), phone won't boot. Now I flashed the stock ROM I downloaded from SAMobile. Odin says installation successful or PASSED. But in my Note II it says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue...
I downloaded the Stock firmware twice and I got the same results.. still the same error..
Any advice? What do I need to do?

if you are able to enter recovery try factory reset after a flash

@shhbz: That's the problem.. I cannot access recovery. Whenever I try that, it just keeps looping on the Samsung Galaxy Note II opening. I can access Download mode and Odin can successfully install the stock firmware but the problem is after flashing my Note II immediately displays the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error.
This keeps happening every time I flash using Odin. Is it possible that something inside the hardware got broken after the drop?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32273406&postcount=5 download the rescue firmware from here and select individual file in odin leaving the pit file and see if it works. disable firewall,antivirus, and run odin as admin use odin 3.04. and uninstall kies too if you have it download
DOWNLOAD_N7100XXDLJ2_OXA_FACTORY and check the flashing process shown
it seems a prob with the nand coruption so it should get solved this way if not then you flash with the .PIT and Re-Partition ticked.
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771 its explained in details but its for s2 so just follow it to revive ur note2. Go through the last part in post1 carefully . good luck !

@shhbz: Okay thanks for the links. I'm going to try them when I get to the office.
Hope it works! I'm gonna update this thread later.

I tried the recovery using the links you have provided.. But still, failed.. I tried first without PIT, then 2nd try with PIT but still failed.

[SOLVED] SCH-I605 Stuck on Boot Screen. Help?

Hey guy,
I was using CleanROM for the longest time. I've actually been using it for so long I can't quite remember how I got the phone unlocked in the first place. I want to say I used a combination of the Note 2 Toolkit and CASUAL to get there. I've been trying to get back to stock and now I'm stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 boot screen. I can get into Download Mode but I can't access Recovery at all. I've been using Odin(Which is where I messed up at). Things I've tried so far:
All of these will say they pass, but when the phone reboots, it still gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 boot screen.
Tried flashing the VRALJ from stockroms.net
Tried flashing philz touch recovery
Tried flashing both stock firmwares from sammobile.com for the SCH-I605.
I'm currently at a loss as to what to do now.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
UPDATE: Ok, now when I try with one of the stock firmwares Odin gets to where it says Nand Write Start!! and it fails. Fails when flashing the Philz Touch Recovery as well.
UPDATE 2: Tried a different version of Odin. This time using Odin v3.09 and tried the VRALJB stock rom, it got to flashing the recovery.img then went to sboot.bin and failed.
UPDATE 3: Ok, using Odin v3.09 flashed philz touch recovery with Nand Erase All selected and T Flash selected. It went through successfully and am now able to boot to recovery. Seems that I was just using the wrong version of Odin3...I think...I hope...lol
UPDATE 4: Ok, so that didn't work. I was able to get into the stock recovery. But was unable to boot into android itself. Figured it's because there was nothing on it, attempted to flash a stock rom, and it still failed at sboot.bin. Attempted to reflash philz touch recovery, still fails. I'll keep trying different things, but I'm running out of things to try until I hit that insane moment where I try everything again expecting different results.
UPDATE 5: Ok, so I'm blind...or somehow didn't come across this thread before. But it helped me to fix the issue...so yeah. Thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120726

[Q] Did I brick my SGH T889?

I am flashing this for my cousin. She woke me up out my sleep because she wanted her phone upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.3 or kitkat. I downloaded a 4.3 ROM and didnt flash it correctly because Wifi nor data was working. It could be because I didnt flash the OTA first and/or didnt install the devil kernel.
Anyways I was walking her through how to restore the backup I made but she went into Download mode and here is when the problems started. i told her to battery pull and to go into recovery. There was already a backup ROM on her SD card, she flashed and it failed. Had her wipe twice and it failed again. Had her wipe again and restore and it failed. After 10 minutes of it failing I had her send me the phone.
I was unable to flash any ROM so i factory reset through recovery and still nothing. I then started flashing through ODIN the latest stock, deoxed stock, the MD4, I even flashed LJ1. Some of the ROMs will fail to flash and if a ROM does flash successfully I get no further than the Galaxy Note 2 screen.
So is this an indication that the phone is bricked or am I missing a step or two to finally get this phone to finally boot all the way up?
Bump

Most likely the phone is on 4.3 bootloader which is why flashing 4.1.2 ROM via pc odin does not work.
You can either flash 4.1.x stock ROM via mobile odin pro or flash 4.3 stock ROM via pc odin.

Unable to flash stock ROM via PC odin
Hello
I am in almost the same situation as mo2002. I had original ROM that came with my note2 running android 4.3 then decided to try jedi master x2 also 4.3. After trying it out for a while I noticed poor battery performance and when phone was locked I had to press the menu button several times to see the screen. That was getting on my nerves. Yesterday my phone was booting up by itself. It did a couple times then got stuck with the samsung logo. Reboot again and again and the same stuff happened that's when I decided to flash stock rom from samsung.updates/device site using odin3 v3.09 however, I have not been successful. After it checks the md5 OK, it fails on the NAND write. Is it the case that the NAND memory is not unlocked? I am still able to boot into recovery though.
Thanks

Mines corrected itself so I can't give the exact instructions but I just kept flashing stock ROMS via odin but I used 3.07 I believe. Idk if that makes a difference but after X amount of attempts I power cycled (after it being stuck at the same galaxy note 3 screen) it booted successfully

Gio soft bricked?

I was trying to install custom recovery on GT-s5660M and flashed recovery for GT-s5660. Now its stuck at "Firmware Upgrade Encountered An Issue".
I can still get to download mode. I've tried flashing stock using "One package" and OPS file but it odin gets stuck on 1 part. This is the stock I'm trying to flash: GT-S5660M_MUGKG3_stock_rooted_ROM_v2.7z from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233719
also tried this stock rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262462) but got the same result. the timer keeps running but no progress.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Are you sure that did you used the right firmware for your gio?
Tried this Rom http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=4891 # http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16979859&postcount=549
figured it out. there was something wrong with the OPS file. Odin didn't show the model number. so i tried a different ops file and it worked.
Thanks

booting issue

I have a stock galaxy note 2 which keeps booting into download mode. the phone hasnt ever been rooted. it was running just the stock att firmware. but started bootlooping, and now boots only into download mode.
Ive tried to get it to boot into recovery but it will only auto boot into the download.

reflash stock rom using odin
Odin always give a pit error when I try and flash
4.1.1 firmware ?
Reflash stock firmware via Odin or kies....sounds like a corrupted partition...
Also possible that the emmc is bad...
Try reflash of the rom first...
Kies works also...but you "will" lose data not already on the SD card....g
I tried kies, it just says connecting.. but never connects. When I boot my wifes note 4 into download mode it will have some red text in the top left corner. The note 2 doesn't have anything other than downloading on the screen

try with PIT in Odin
Tried adding a pit file and the stock tar file. I then got a repartition error. I can Google and find other people who have had the same problem in the past but no one seemed to ever figure out how to resolve the issue.
