So i recently updated to 4.3 on my i747 and i wanted to do an emergency firmware recovery, so i go to Kies and follow the steps, whenever i plug in my phone no matter what port windows will say device had a malfunction last time it was entered, but in kies i can still do the emergency recor but then it stops and says device not pulgged in gives me a note f error and tells me to reinstall drivers and restart my computer. Ive done that several times i even uninstalled and installed Kies but it wont work. Whenever i try to turn my phone back on it says: firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. Well i did that but it still wont work. I've unrooted my phone a while back ago and the stuff at the top left corner of the screen says:
Odin Mode
PORDUCT NAME:SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DONWLOAD:YES (4 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT:ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT:0
BOOTLOADER AP SWAEV: 2

I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy s3 (Pebble Blue).
I downloaded Odin and tried to root it to CF-Root-SGS3, but using this tutorial video: youtube com watch?v=mndQZqom3Ac
Yes, I am a complete noob, therefore it failed. When I tried to turn it back on, it showed me this:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I did perform a full back up of my phone on Kies before starting, thankfully, but when I tried performing the emergency firmware recovery, it won't show my device in the list of devices requiring emergency recovery. I also don't know what the recovery code would be.
I also tried performing the firmware upgrade and initialization process, but it required my IMEI number, and I don't know how to find that without my phone working properly.
This is the other info my phone is showing:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L710
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (4 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 0
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 1
Please help. Thank you so much in advance!
Did you get this taken care of? Hopefully you havent been phoneless for the past few days. Can you still boot into download mode? if you can you should try to Odin the stock tar file for the latest firmware/system update (ND8). It's in a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533 You should be able try rooting again after this gets your phone up and running again. The only thing to worry about is that YOU CAN NOT DOWNGRADE FIRMWARE after MK3 or ND8 without bricking your phone.
Thank you!
I replied to your message, thanks again!
Ok first time posting, so bear with me. I've been searching around the XDA forums and google, but I haven't managed to find success anywhere. It started off when I decided to put on Ditto Note 3 on, and when I did, my IMEI became null. After trying to fix that without success, I tried to flash a stock ROM from sammobile to try and reset everything, but at the end, it responds with "Unsupported Version" on my phone. Now I'm stuck with the "Firmware Upgrade Encountered and Issue" error and I'm only able to get into Downloading Mode. On Downloading mode, my phone says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I317
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWERV: A2
Now when I try plugging in my phone to my computer, it says "USB Device Not Recognized". Now it won't show up in Odin. I think I'm screwed, anything will help.
hey guys this is my first post. Really kind of freaking out about this phone. I successfully rooted the phone originally using the Towelroot one-click method. I then installed the necessary apps and .apks and tried to install a recovery via ClockworkMod and also with SafeStrap. When I did so it asked me to reboot, which having rooted plenty of phones before, using other methods, i thought piece of cake. Well the phone rebooted and rebooted into a recovery boot loop. I was finally able to get the phone into download mode and tried to flash some stock firmware to hopefully get out of this jam and be done with the whole mess. No dice, pulled battery and unplugged the cable. The phone now says when I turn it on
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SM-N900T
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY 0X1
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S2, T2, R2, A3, P2
WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE
it then says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. But I cannot connect this phone to the PC via Kies 3 as my device 'is not supported' But i am able to boot into download mode and try to flash stuff. However when I flash anything via ODIN it fails in different areas such as AUTH (fail) and in a host of other ways. I cannot successfully flash anything. This phone is apparently a brick and I have NO IDEA what to do. This phone has no warranty either... I have no idea what to do has anyone gotten this problem solved??
it now says UDC START
I think the problem occurred because you installed two recovery modes. Safestrap and clockworkmod. Also Safestrap doesn't work well on T Mobile Note 3's. Only success I've seen with Verizon and At&t variants. Furthermore warranty wouldn't do you any justice since you tripped knox 0x1. Try pulling out the battery waiting a couple minutes. Make sure your battery has at least 50% juice. Use a genuine Samsung wire when you're flash with Odin if you haven't done so already. Uninstall your old drivers on your pc and reinstall the kies drivers. Get into download mode and flash the stock Samsung Note 3 T Mobile with your current android firmware.

Hello folks, im kinda desperate about this situation. I think i bricked the phone and everytime i try to boot it up it goes straight to the bootloader showing the following message "SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED: Your device didn't update succesfully. Use the verizon repair assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update" . I've been looking for that "Verizon repair assistant" software everywhere over the internet without any luck. (Seems to be included on a CD). The phone is on the latest BOG5 5.0.1 Verizon's official firmware. I bought the phone as a Manufactured refurbished "unlocked" on Ebay and it came with that software version. Surprisingly when i received the phone i could not get any network signal with any carrier, like if it was a locked device. Looking for a solution i found some people complaining about BOG5 firmware causing this issue and they downgraded to the BOAF lollipop's first release and solved the issue so i got that firmware, samsung drivers, odin 3.10.7 and tried to flash it, it didnt work, the operation FAILED and it returned the following message : SW REV CHECK FAIL: (tz) fused 2 > Binary 1. Booted up the phone and no changes were made. I downloaded the full BOG5 and try to flash it to see if it helps with the initial problem (No network with any carrier) but returned the same failed message but this time the phone didnt boot anymore at this point. It seems to be locked (The bootloader) since on it says "SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE". I cant do anything to the phone to make it work and i dont know what can i do to fix the phone and get it back to life again. I need help, im lost and desperate with this dead shiny white brick
Try using Samsung kies 3, you should be able to recover your phone to stock.
Any update on this issue? Would like to root my note 4.

Cant root retail note 4 yet. Need to unlock bootloader or hack kernel.
As for bricked phone:
Thats a typical problem when you flash either wrong firmware or using bad USB connection.
There are 3 things you need to know before you flash.
#1 Flashing with ODIN requires samsung drivers installed
#2 Flashing with ODIN requires USB cable connected STRAIGHT INTO THE MOTHERBOARD (not unto USB hub or not even into computer front panel) Ports behind the computer that go straight into motherboard are 100% guaranteed to work properly.
#3 Each version of ODIN is recommended to flash different versions of firmware. For example:
Odin 3.10 is for Lolipop 5.0.1 (Firmware N910VVRU1BOAF)
Odin 3.0.9 is for JellyBean or KitKat 4.4.4 (firmware built versions N910VVRU1ANI1 or N910VVRU1ANJ5)
Download Odin from droidviews.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung-galaxy-devices-all-versions
Download firmware from galaxynote4root.com/note-4-stock-firmwares (Make sure you chose correct model)
Inside ODIN, uncheck "Reboot" option.
When flashing is done, unplug the USB cord/Remove battery.
Reinsert battery and enter recovery mode by pressing VolumeUP+Home+Power and hold all 3 untill you see recovery screen.
Then chose to "clear cache partition" and press Power to confirm.
Reboot
done.
should have nothing lost if flashed with exact same firmware (i think it doesnt even matter if you flash with newer or older, but some apps may need to be reinstalled if fail to work due to firmware swap, so just uninstall those and reinstall)
Hi,
I am facing boot loop issue on my N7100 from the time since I updated software.
My Note II motherboard went dead a long time ago so I thought to buy a new motherboard(International Version) from China which I received yesterday. I was able to install the board successfully, phone started working in normal condition, I was really Happy. Very soon, new software update popups started appearing which I decided to install one by one. Initial were some patches, then a big update came for around 800Mb which was for addition of KNOX and other features. The download was completed successfully & and I tried to Install it.
After the installation my phone went into boot loop. The Samsung logo comes and disappears and the cycle goes on.
> I am not able to get phone in recovery mode ( Vol Up+Home+Power).
> Yes, I am able to get phone in download mode (Vol Down+Home+Power).
Following is the status in download mode:
Product Name: GT-N7100
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Knox Warranty Void: 0
AP SWREV: A2
I did try to re-install ROM using ODIN but failed.
ROM Link : https://www.needrom.com/server/download.php?name=/2017/09/KSA-N7100XXUFNL1-20150518112800.zip
Currently,
a) I don't know the details of motherboard ( S/N, Country Origin, PDA Number, CSC Number ).
b) Developer options were not enabled while phone was in working condition.
c) Tried my best to restore ROM but failed.
I need support to make this phone functional again. I need to know whether the board has gone faulty or can be repaired using software stuff?
Earliest response will be highly appreciated.
Thankyou so much!
Regards
Nikhil
Did you try to flash any non-Samsung software via Odin? I ask because I see the word "custom" in download mode.
What happens when you try to boot into recovery? What happens when you try to flash a stock ROM?
Try flashing a stock recovery from sammobile.com or updato.com.
