[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Select recovery mode in Kies & try againn
Hey guys i just got my Galaxy s 3 tonight and I came home and tried to root it.I was in Odin. I selected PDA, selected the tar file and tried to root. It started then said "fail." I tried to restart but I'm stuck at a screen saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again." I am using a Rogers Galaxy S3 in Canada. All I'm seeing on my screen is "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again." At the top left it says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747M
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)

Just for giggles, plug your phone into Odin on that screen. If it recognizes it (blue com box lights up), use that screen as download mode. But, i would download your file again, making sure to get the one for the I747M.
Really?

If you can get your device back into download mode, you could relay the stock firmware from www.stockbroker.net. Select the file you downloaded under pda in Odin and flash it. Hope this helps. You can try to root again from there.

Upgraded to 4.1.1 even after soft-brick !
Soft-brick aka " firmware upgrade encountered an issue " - screen in galaxy s3 sgh-i747 is a warning bell that somehow device might get interrupted while updating firmware , now i tried twice with old odin , and twice with new odin , what you got to do is just keep on trying and make sure that your galaxy s3 SGH-i747 drives are installed then after restart your pc , tried kies already , just waste of times , wasted 2 hours yet that official software didnt help me to upgrade or recover my device !
Finally i executed Odin 3.7 ( run as admin ) then --> ticked box : auto reboot , F. reset time ! upload that Firmware upgrade of Jelly bean in PDA section and wait till it gets loaded then press start ! ( i had to do this 3 times n then it worked , so dont lose the hope , keep trying over and over again ) and it will take 6~7 minutes as new OS is big around 1 GB ! so dont unplug device and ur done , then after completion , cellphone will restart with new settings and new OS !

This is for the S3, flashing it's firmware on the Note 2 won't work. I highly suggest you go on the Note 2 section.
I found a fix for this problem

1)Download this file www.mediafire.com/?bbfsnnub9gzg5wj
2)Go into download mode
3) connect your device to the computer and run ODIN as an administrator
4)Open the file and click start
5) Your phone should reboot
6) if your phone gets in a boot loop you need to download the latest firmware for your device
I hope this could help you, if the instructuions were unclear, send me a message and i will do my best to help you!

Download cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5
Connect to Odin.
Once Odin Recognizes/connects to your phone.
Download Clockwork: (Download cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5)
Choose PDA and browse to the file and click Start on Odin.
Your Phone should now Reboot correctly.
Make sure you download the correct "new MOD" for your phone.

Ainol novo 8 discover flashing firmware error

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II locked to Bell Canada (BMC) SGH-i317M.
This afternoon, I tried to purchase an unlock code for my cellphone and I've read that I need to downgrade a firmware from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 in
order to successfully unlock it.
So I've downloaded Odin and 4.1.1 firmware and I have done everything as the instruction from the website.
After Odin program showed "Green Pass", it automatically rebooted and here's my problem.
No matter how many times I reboot it, it just stops where "Samsung" logo shows.
I felt something went wrong so I tried it again with 4.1.1 firmware. (But, failed)
Then I wanted to restore it back to 4.1.2 and when I downloaded and installed it with Odin.
Perhaps, the 4.1.2 firmware file is something wrong or else. I fail to complete installing 4.1.2 and it shows message saying
"error occured with upgrade, please try Kies to restore it".
But, my computer does not even recognize Galaxy note II.
I've tried to download firmware files from Samfirmware(shows me error message that I cannot download it now)
It's been almost 9 hours since Galaxy note II soft bricked.
Can anyone help me with this problem, please?
Try this install like a normal rom wipe everything data and Cache

Dear XDA
I am facing a very serious problem with my Note 2 (Samsung) since noon today . Literary, I tried to reinstall (Jellybean 4.1.2) Firmware and unfortunately, during the process I had my PC off, which resulted in the following message;
"Firmware encountered an upgrade issue. Please Select Recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried Kies later, but It was not connecting , then reading few help blogs, I tried to install in mobile (cwm6-root-note2- with recovery zip inside) with the help of Odin, which has stopped the Firmware encountered message and replaced it with "Samsung Note II" logo and further its says updating package and restarts continually.
I also tried to install again official 4.1.2 Firmware through Odin after (Vol Down+Centre+Power - and Up) but Failed.
I dont know what to do , please help me out from this issue . it is killing me.
Thank you

I faced the same problem few days back...
Start kies on ur laptop ( dont connect ur phone yet )
Choose initialisation option
Enter model number
Enter serial number
Now connect ur phone with pc in download mode
Pls make sure u have high speed net for 2-3 hrs...
Bcuz kies download the full rom as per ur serial number
Yes do as MAX says , because i suspect you installed 4.3 and now you want to come back to 4.1.2 ,
and i think it will not be so easy as it shows in the post i showed you.

No No and Honestly I didnt try that ... I just wanted to freshen my mobile by reinstalling official Firmware 4.1.2 .... oh anyways good news is that I recovered my mobile by following the bellow steps ..
1. Downloaded Official Firmware "N7100XXDMB5_N7100OJVDMB1_N7100XXDLK7_HOME.tar"
2. Opened Odin
3. and upload the "N7100XXDMB5_N7100OJVDMB1_N7100XXDLK7_HOME.tar" in PHONE section under PDA (Not PDA) & pressed Start
4. The installation went well but with problems in upgrading applications and continual restarting.
5. again opened Odin and this time I uploaded the official Firmware in PDA and installation went well
6. Booting and registeration also went well.
7. Mobile is back on life
But But
Now my colleague has messed with Note 3 and it also gives the same msg as i had in the beginning "firmware upgrade encountered an issue".
Thank you max621 for your kind help, I will try those for Note3 instead.
Thanks for reading.

Try to Remove the battery and try to access the RECOVERY
the FIRMWARE was damaged.
I wish that you have nandroid backups there.
I already experienced that and just rebooted to recovery and restoring by nandroid.
Glad to see your phone is back up and running ...
next time you want refresh your phone , just do simple factory reset!
Glad to hear that u recovrr ur phone.. but for note3 u must install kies3 first....
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
Hello fellow community!
On first place i want to excuse myself for my bad English!!
I have soft bricked T-Mobile (USA) Samsung Galaxy S4 and everything i found in the web DIDN'T help me to recover my phone...
Here is my history for what i did to bring this condition of my phone.
I was on Original T-Mobile 4.4.2 Stock ROM working normal without any issues. But 2 or 3 months ago i was curious about installing on my phone CUSTOM " CYANOGENmod" rom 5.x.x NIGHTY edition. At all installing on that custom ROM was without problems and phone for this 2~3 months works flawlessly "normal"... all this time i updates every day this custom theme and I'm understand this is NIGHTY but at the end i was kind tired from this NOT exactly real and fully functioned replica of custom ROM and get decision to restore my ORIGINAL status of the phone and put latest (4.4.4) Stock ROM. 1st i download 4.4.4 ROM "M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5" for my T-Mobile phone. I put in in DOWNLOAD mode. Connect phone to my computer.. and Start ODIN3 v3.10.6 ( didn't install Samsung drivers because i already have installed them !! ). In AP i put latest ROM... checked was ONLY options Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time ... NO Re-Partition was checked or pit file wasn't given !! Jus i hit the SATRT and receive that !...
everything was fine till the end !!! Flashing stops on try to flash hidden.img.ext4 with error and FAIL all process !!!
I CANT understand where is my problem and what i can do to flash my phone normally?
Please community help me to solve this problem..
1 year ago i have almost the same problem but with the same error "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and remember here on XDA DEVELOPERS i read the guide how to recovery phone after that but TBH i cant find this guide now with all my searching attempts..
Please for HELP!
and Thank you in Advance for your support!!..
Cheers!
Not 100% sure but you needed to do a factory reset before flashing stock firmware.
You can't flash kitkat over lollipop before doing factory reset because they are two different firmwares.
Try doing a factory reset and flashing again, if it fails pull battery, replace battery and go straight into download mode, connect to pc and flash again with odin.
Sometimes the double flash can be successful.
Good luck.
