[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered (USB Debugging is off) - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello community,
I am coming to you all because obviously i can not find a remedy. I recently was trying to unroot my phone and the message popped up "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again." I have tried several solutions from 2012 up to more recent methods. When i tried the toolkit, it alerted me that my usb debugging was turned off. Is this a huge problem? Am i screwed forever? Is there a fix? Thank you for your time and response in advance.
Update...i got into download mode and downloaded appropriate file. I however, do not know why that didnt work the first time...simple fix that took 5 hours out of my life...

[Q] Stuck with error message " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"

I tried to update my Samsung Galaxy Note II to 4.1.2 but I encountered an error on odin and now its stuck with the a message of " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
However Kies is not recognizing the phone when i plug it to the usb cable. but when i try odin it says its added. I cant get it to download mode.:crying:
How do I get this fixed?
I need your help badly...
what exactly you getting while rebooting to download mode?
If you getting msg to use recovery mode while rebooting to download mode, then this is also download mode, flash using odin
The same thing happened for me. It won't update no matter what you do. I tried reinstall kies and drivers but no luck.
And the strange part is if you like I did wait a couple of days the update won't be available anymore. It will start saying that you already have the latest firmware. I read somewhere that it was maybe caused because samsung found a bug in the firmware and then they quickly rool it back

Any help on the above post would be greatly appreciated.
I believe my issue is that I tried rooting it but had the "new" firmware on the device so the root process didn't work. Now, from what I can tell, the boot.img is fubar'd.
I can't charge the phone when it's off. Goes straight to the firmware upgrade failed screen. I try to ODIN factory image and it fails on write of boot.img.
Had the device a whole 2 hrs before it became a paper weight.:crying:
Can you go into download mode?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Happened to me once as well,i accidently lost the USB connection from the PC and all i did was go into the KIES thing and then click on emergency firmware recovery.It worked well for me but in your case you might consider going into download mode(vol down + home + power button) and then flashing a new stock firmware from samfirmware via ODIN

[Q] Verizon Galaxy Note 2 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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue)

Hey,
I have Note 2 (GT-N7100) its primary market is Europe. i was using it and it suddenly stucks and after sometime it restarted with this error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. connect to kies select recovery mode and try again" I have just bought it and it happened . i Have tried to resolve it through odin mode because recovery mode is not opening. it is only going in download mode ... I downloaded it and used odin to put it on my phone. It says successful but after restart same error remains. kies isn't detecting my device. I'm an absolute noob when it comes to this stuff. In odin it says [Successful] but problem does not go. Help me resolving this problem.
Thanks.

Phone freezes alot, please help :(

Hi guys,
Last week my phone was running so perfect while on DOI9 5.1.1 before I updated to 6.0.1. Since that, the phone was working very bad; freezing a lot and restarting suddenly.
So I decided to go back to Lollipop DOI2 via odin but the procedure went non-smoothly and failed twice and "Firmware upgrade encountered issue" message came out. After the 3rd trial I was able to downgrade to DOI2 successfully but the phone freezes too much and restarts sometimes
Any possible solutions please??

Help my G3 might be hardbricked (hopefully only softbrick)

Hello, I would like to ask if my LG G3 is softbricked or hardbricked. It has been a long while since it decided to boot loop. I tried to fix it but got no results. I tried to factory reset it, but the next day it didn't turn on anymore and got stuck in the logo. Note : the phone was experiencing some heating issue before it decided to screw itself up. I tried numerous troubleshooting from the net, none worked. I also did try to reinstall the firmware to stock again, it did boot but it can't get to the home screen. I then factory reset it again and tried using another firmware also built for my phone (it's LG G3 D855). It failed again at 33% while it was in the firmware update mode. Now that I have left it for a solid year, I thought that it would be nice to try again. Which I did, but it couldn't charge anymore and it cannot boot to the logo. I tried to go to the download mode but no response. I tried connecting it to my computer, but it only detects my phone as a charge only device, it also detects it on only several random occasion. I hope this is a softbrick and it can be fixed at home so I don't need to go to the store to repair it.
I'm sorry for the long explanation, I had been trying to revive it for months now and had no luck. How do I fix this, at least how do I get to the firmware update download mode again? I really really hope that anyone can help. Thankyou so much in advance.
