Hey everyone. I'm having problems with my Galaxy S III/SGH-I747. I was having problems with it shutting off randomly. I didn't start having this problem until I got the Android 4.1.2 update. I did a factory reset a few times and that didnt fix it. So I decided to wipe it completely and flash either 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 back on it. Something went wrong during that process and it failed. Now, I start it up, and it just says "Firmware Recovery Interrupted". No It won't let me do anything. I've tried the Emergency Firmware Recovery Tool with the Samsung Kies software, and it fails during that. I tried flashing the stock ROM again, and it fails. I even Rooted it, and flashed ClockworkModRecovery and tried installing a custom ROM. It failed during those. So I'm really stuck. Is there ANYthing I can do to fix this? If so, I'd really appreciate you sharing it with me. Lolz.
Thank you in Advance.
P.S. The picture below says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

Ahoy XDA!
So I'm an avid flasher and have lots of experience with ROMS/Radios/Kernels etc. however, for the life of me, I can't figure out what's going on.
I have a T-989 that I had AOSP JB Rom on. I just purchased another phone and was restoring to stock for sale. I followed instructions for ODIN with the original MD5 file however, it failed and now the phone is stuck saying
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I've tried many Stock builds with ODIN but none of them are wanting to complete. There are a few that complete but won't reboot the phone. When I manually reboot it brings the same screen.
Any help would really be appreciated. If you need more info just let me know.
No help? Please...
Try connecting to kies and let it restore the phone.

Just reflash the same rom, this can happen if the odin flash fails. All you have to do is reflash the same rom, if it fails again then just try another USB cable. And one more thing, make sure that the rom you are flashing is the right one.
Are you flashing the phone on a PC? I'm asking because I think the latest release of Odin is 3.07. Using an outdated version of Odin and/or drivers may have caused of the problem.
Since you're on AT&T running 4.3, you cannot reflash an AT&T ROM because there is no AT&T 4.3 ROM that is flashable via Odin. Do not try to flash any ROM that tries to flash an older bootloader because this will brick your phone.
Hello there,
I've previously used Odin to install several versions on several phones, so at leas I know some very basics, like, using Odin and what not.
Here's my problem. I rooted my 4.3, it gave me some trouble, and the main reason I wanted it rooted was to get backups for my apps. Turns out I can back up my data with carbon "rooted-unrooted" so I decided to ditch the root since it was giving me some hassle with the security update thing and titanium was not working properly. "had to do some other stuff and I was kind of tired.
Turns out I tried to install my other official firmware I had "4.1". Sadly, upon using Odin with it, it now says that I'm trying to install an unsupported version and won't proceed... I'm stuck in here because I cannot restart by pressing up+power because it gives me an error and says I need to restart in download mode.
I was wondering if installing a fresh copy of 4.3 would fix this. Yet I've been unable to find any actual official files... yeah... I know this sounds pathetic, but... I've been herer for an hour + and have not found either a solution or the original 4.3 file or whichever file I would need for this.
Decided to turn unto this community which has helped me a lot in the past to solve all my previous issues.
So... How do I install a fresh 4.3 or how do I get out of this mess? My cell phone doesn't turn on, it just tells me the following:
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I had 4.3 installed with all the security crap on it, so when I go to download mode and install 4.1, it says that the verison is unsopported...
Thank you all in advance.
Download Mr Robinson's 4.3 rooted ROM from here.
Flash it via ODIN and you should be good to go.
Your phone is already on 4.3 bootloader and it is not letting you downgrade to any version below it.
My phone was no longer booting properly anymore and was stuck at the Samsung logo. I tried reflashing DN3 to no avail as it was still stuck on bootloop. Then, I researched a bit on XDA and found that perhaps reflashing stock would do it some good. So I flashed stock on ODIN and it failed like 75% there and now I am left with Samsung's error of death: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
Now I can still access download mode and it displays my device model, but I don't want to screw it up by flashing the wrong bootloader or w/e so that's why I'm here. Is there anything I can do at this point or just admit I got screwed by SDS?
By no means SDS, everything is fine :good:
What was your last stock? Try to get newest firmware from sammobile and try again or run Kies to restore your device.
Hello guys.
I got a SM-T310_NA. It was not rooted and everything original.
I tried to root it a few times following this droidviews dot com/root-galaxy-tab-3-8-0-sm-t310-on-kitkat guide.
Odin always said that everything worked and my tablet restarted, I didn't know what the problem was. I had drivers installed and everything.
So then I tried to flash a firmware over Odin, but then something didn't work out and my tablet didn't get the full flash.
Now I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". I tried to recover it with Kies, it didn't work.
I downloaded the original firmware from sammobile and tried to flash it, it didn't work either. I think I need a 3-part-flash with Odin, but I don't know where to get the datas.
Can you guys help me out?
