So my Galaxy S3 for Virgin im guessing is bricked. I first had rooted and flashed to a Kitkat rom but now im trying to revert back to Stock and completely unroot it as if i had never done it. I looked online and found a "fix" where i used odin to flash back to stock, but that didnt work and it failed so now im stuck at the screen on my phone that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and Try again." the thing is Kies wont recognize my phone. someone please help

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to help a friend with his GN2. From what I understand he received the latest upgrade from Verizon and tried to unlock the bootloader. When you power up the phone we get this message. "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". Now I'm having him download the Kies software to see if it will help. We are able to get the phone into "download mode" for Odin. But every time we try to flash the stock it always fails.
Is there anything else we can do. Thanks for any Help.
Hi,
I have made a stupid move of trying to re-root my 4.3 s3, without knowing that there is now Knox. Now it is stuck in a screen that says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. It is also still in Odin mode, and says stuff in the corners. (see attached pic) Is there any fix for this? Please help! :crying::silly:
hi.i need some help maybe someone can help me out.. i got a m919 s4 and i was having problems with the wifi running 4.4.2. phone was rooted. so i try installing stock rom on phone to remove the root access and maybe that would fix the wifi issue.. so i try loading the same firmware using odin 3.09 but it gave me error on write..i disconnected phone and turn it on but the phone gave me a screen telling me to connect the phone to kies for emergency recovery. i try doing that but kies doesnt see the phone..and everytime i try write thru odin i get failed to write.. any ideas....
ps i can only get into download mode and the screen telling me to connect to kies for recovery nothing else
os 4.4.2
nevermind guy finally found the problem.. i needed to use a older odin for it to work thanx anyway
Hello there,
In February, I flashed DN3 into my note 2 [GT-N7100] and didn't change since then. Yesterday I decided to go back to stock as the DN3 started to be slow for me. So i downloaded a stock from sammobile and flashed it through odin. Now heres the problem, the odin failed flashing, and my note restarted to a message saying [Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.] and in download mode it says Knox Void=1 (keep in mind i can access download mode).
I would really love some help as I did my research and couldn't find someone with a similar problem.

What version of stock are you trying to install?
If you are coming from a KIt Kat version of DN3 then as far as i know you cant go below a certain version of android 4.2.2 i think (dont quote me on that) due to the fact the (knox)boot loader isnt compatible. i have read that you cant go back to 4.1.2 but you should be able to install the OFW Kit Kat release via Samobile.
