[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue error

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

Are you sure you're using correct versions of Odin+firmware?
Did you uninstall KIES before flashing?

yeah i'm pretty sure i'm using the correct version
(the name of the tar is I5510UGKC5_BMCKC5_HOMEDOWNLOAD_TEST.tar and the version of odin is 4.34, and i'm using the CALLISTO ops)
and no kies is still installed but i did flashed another samsung phone using odin and it worked, but ill try without kies installed, we never know :fingers-crossed:

Double-check that you have a working firmware image. I used the stock firmware package with this MD5 to restore a bad Cyanogenmod flash on a GT-I5510M phone:
Code:
a8ab8ec4154548b6a9873e6c04937c96 *BMC-I5510UGKC5-20110331113635.zip
38375ba92ffe3819bc25f7e28dd28812 *I5510UGKC5_BMCKC5_HOMEDOWNLOAD_TEST.tar
The ZIP file contains the TAR file. Flash the TAR file to the GT-I15510M phone through Odin in "One Package" mode with the OPS file for this phone.
I haven't been able to find a custom recovery package that is actually compatible with this Samsung Galaxy 511 submodel. Most of the forum posts regarding the GT-I15510 family are inaccurate or sloppy.

try flashing stock ROM

[Q] Softbricked my Tab 3 7

Hello there, I was trying to update my Tab's firmware to 4.2.2 following the instructions listed on a website I can't link to because I'm a new member. I found it by googling "update sm-t210 to 2.4.4". It's on a website called techbeasts.
I was using CWM recovery 6.0.4.7. I installed the first file, listed at the bottom of the page, the "Kernel.zip file". It installed using CWM just fine, it's a small file only about 6MB. The second file I tried to install, the "T110 on T210/210R.zip" file failed. It gave me something about 5 out 4 expected args and didn't work.
After this my tablet would not boot, it would show the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (not the animation) and then go black.
Next I tried to reflash using the 4.1.2 firmware from SamMobile using ODIN. This failed on the modem.bin. After this I couldn't boot in in recovery mode or ODIN mode. All I get is the, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue...". ODIN still recognizes my tablet.
So I'm stuck. I've spent all night googling to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

So I managed to use ODIN to get CWM reworking. But I've hit another brick wall. Now that I've got something to work with anyone have any ideas?

Install the latest CWM (6.0.4.8) and it you should be able to flash the rom correctly.

Thanks gr8note,
So I did what you suggested, I installed 6.0.4.9 and then lo and behold, the error went away! The ROM installed with no errors. One issue is the device no longer registers with adb, but fortunately the ROM was already on my device. The device is still discoverable with ODIN on my PC.
My new problem is now I can't get it to boot in to anything but recovery or ODIN. Even if I just use the power button it boots to recovery. I just got home from work and will be searching for a solution, but any more help would be appreciated!
Thanks again.

Flash the kernel again.
Sent from my SCH-I605

Hi gr8nole, thank you for getting back to me. I've seen your name all over these forums searching for a solution.
So I have reflashed the kernel I had originally downloaded, and also tried the blackhawk kernel I found on these forums for the sm-t210. It still will only boot to recovery. I have flashed several different recoveries to my tablet. I have tried two different ROMs - one from the website I mentioned above and the stock ROM from SamMobile - and it still will only boot to recovery or ODIN.
If you had a different kernel in mind a link would be greatly appreciated. Beyond that, any other advice you can give me?

j,
a while back i read a warning about sammobile images being screwy and to avoid them.
this was the image i used when i first got my tab http://d-h.st/users/Jamison904?fld_id=21912 the 1.13 gb img not the dump
hope this helps

Hey thanks for replying.
I ended up doing a huge facepalm when I figured out my problem. I was attempting to install the stock ROM like the other ROMs...through a recovery. You can imagine my frustration when I finally realized it was not a normal ZIP but instead had to be extracted and ODIN'D.
Duh.

Softbrick Note 3 Neo 7505 Ltd - I really need your help

Hello,
I tried to root this device with cf-autoroot and Odin 3.07 yesterday. But it just didn't do anything. After felt 20mins I cancled the process with no good result :/
Now I'm getting the message:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
-I tried it via Kies, but it needs some code I don't have.
-I downloaded stock Rom 4.4.2 and flashed it via Odin 3.09 but no success.
Odin just won't let me flash anything. I don't know why.
-While flashing Kies is off, drivers are installed (it's Added! In Odin) and it's not the first time I'm doing this. I have no idea. I tried different usb-ports. No success. First time I face this problem.
Now I read about Pit file, but I have no clue.
Every help is much appreciated.
Thank you so much
Red

I guess the code is under your battery

Okaay. I will give it a try. Next time! The problems solution was to flash a custom recovery first.

The latest FW in Sammobile starting from Hungary till Bulgary they fail at hidden file in Odin, you need to flash custom recovery to solve that issue....

@Muhammad Rihawi, Also having the same problem. Somehow, i thought the solution ws flashing a pit file... Let us know if flashing a custom recovery sorts out the problem for ya..

Yes Pit file will solve it but we don't have it...
you can flash root or custom recovery, either of both will work.
From two days i just flash bulgari FW then chanfire Root via odin and its works

I don't get it, after flashing the stock Firmware, which failed at hidden. The status bar on the phone stopped and seemed to freeze... I flashed the cf-auto root but it failed... then removed the battery, rebooted into download mode and reflashed the cf-auto root then in odin i saw passed but when the phone rebooted, it was stuck on the bootscreen. After waiting endlessly, removed the battery and tried to enter the recovery mode but it simply wouldnt go there.... Did i miss anything???

flash the FW via odin after its failed at hidden file just remove the cable and the battery, re enter the battery and run to download mode straight connect the cable flash custom recovery or cf-auto root after it's success just remove the cable and the device will restart and boot...
in odin keep everything unticked just auto restart ticked.
