Firmware upgrade encountered an issue - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Hello,
I have tried upgrading my SM-P600 via odin. I have used official 5.1.1 rom . I used default odin setting as usual, but during the upgrade windows showed unrecognized device message, and odin showed failed.
If I am trying to boot in any mode (even if I am plugging in charger) I am getting "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I have attached an image.
Can anyone help explaining how can I solve this (if this is possible). Also I would like to know what could cause issue like this? I have been flashing stuff to android devices many times, had boot loops and other messy things, but download mode have always worked.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

I was able to fix this by myself. I was able to boot into download mode. I am not sure why it have started working. I just left device to fully uncharge, then charged it and download mode was accessable.
I have flashed older rom which I had P600UEUCND2_P600XARCND2_XAR and now everything fine. I will download 5.1.1 once again and will try to flash it (I did fresh windows install, because I think last time it was windows issue).

[Q] Firmware Flash failed - New flash won't work

Hello guys.
I got a SM-T310_NA. It was not rooted and everything original.
I tried to root it a few times following this droidviews dot com/root-galaxy-tab-3-8-0-sm-t310-on-kitkat guide.
Odin always said that everything worked and my tablet restarted, I didn't know what the problem was. I had drivers installed and everything.
So then I tried to flash a firmware over Odin, but then something didn't work out and my tablet didn't get the full flash.
Now I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". I tried to recover it with Kies, it didn't work.
I downloaded the original firmware from sammobile and tried to flash it, it didn't work either. I think I need a 3-part-flash with Odin, but I don't know where to get the datas.
Can you guys help me out?

Hi,
Hi I was given an s3 sprint. It doesn't get past the sprint screen, but when plugged in it goes all the way until played with then it'll reboot. It does however go into download and recovery mode which leads me to believe its a software problem. The phone is not rooted/ fully stock. Could someone walk me through rooting, installing custom recovery and ROM via Odin? Also there seems to be no water damage. Per download mode:: binary-samsung official
System satus-official
Qualcomm secure boot enable
Warranty-0
Bootloader ap swaev-2
PS I already tried Odin but failed at aboot mbn. Now upon booting it reads ... firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again?
Pleas ask in here instead. Also first get the phone working by either flashing it using kies 2.6, or by using odin and flashing this image. Be sure to unzip it first.

Borked Recovery flash, wrong model

I accidentally flashed my Note 8 with a recovery made for a i9105p.
I can get to download mode.
If I try to restart the device I get
"Firmware upgrade encountered
an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies
& try again".
Kies doesn't recognize the device.
ODIN doesn't recognize the device. I think this is a communication
issue though.
Help appreciated.
All the Best,

Could not turn the unit off so it died overnight.
Surprisingly I re-connected in this afternoon
and ODIN found it. Attempted another flash
with the CORRECT recovery. It failed but re-
initialized the stock one. It's now working,
mostly.
Would love to understand why I can't flash a custom
recovery on this thing. Seems everything I've found
is for the original stock 4.1 version. I'm running 4.2.2
if that makes a difference. ODIN usually FAILS! and
resets stock recovery.
Any ideas?
All the Best,
D. White
Flashed with Terok Nor ROM 4.2.2.
Everthing is great now.
All the Best,

[Samsung] Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T210 / "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"

Hello!
Few days ago i found my Samsung Tab 3, and decided to charge it and biit it up.
It got stuck on Samsung logo when i booted it.
So i did a factory reset using the recovery mode.
After i did that the device booted up. with lots of errors.
I was on the setup screen for my device and these errors appeard and said like core has stopped working and every like preinstalled app on my samsung device aswell (NAME has stopped working). So i was not able to fullfill the setup of my device.
I read about it online and a firmware upgrade could fix the problem ( Like the easiest way i read )
So i did some googling and downloaded Odin and a firmware. Followed a guide and did everything right. BUT the process faild like 8min into the flash.
And now my device is stuck on "download mode" but with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I cant get the phone to turn off, nor get into recovery mode or anything else. I tried flash again but no luck.
I also tried another firmware i found. still same problem.
How do i fix this and how can i use my samsung tab 3 again.
WHen i bought it years ago i never really used it. So it's in "new shape" and has never really been used. And now i wanna give it to my little sister for some kids games to play at Xmas.
I hope we can solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

That depends on various things, such as the Android version, kernel and change ID. Than also the Odin version you've used and/or the settings during the attempt of flashing. I found that using the wrong Odin version on a particular Android version, that may prevent the flash of being successfull. B.t.w, did you format both user and cache partition while trying to reset to factory default?

Yeah, I've found out what Odin version to use that worked for others. I've downloaded lots of different firmwares and such and tried. ALL fails.
When i did a factory reset i also cleared cash and user.
Now i cant even turn off the damn thing. If i charge it up and start, it just goes directly to the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and if i try to turn it off, it just reboots and goes back. And i cant even return to factory reset page.
I think that my Micro-USB cable might not work for this, or is that a thing? Do i need a good cable from PC to Phone for this? Or does any cable work?
I just want this tab to work. been trying for weeks.
Thanks for your reply. I hope we can sort this out.

It is quite easy to turn the device off, for that to happen you have to press and hold the on/off button. You'll see that the device will shutdown and try to reboot and then finally shuts down again and stay off, then release the on/off button.
Are you sure trying to flash the correct firmware with correct changes, etc??
Please share with us the device and Android version, as well as the stock ROM version with changes you're trying to flash.
Put (copy and paste) the output of Odin below.
Another way to get the firmware flashed is by using Heimdall, but for that to happen you first need to rename the extension of the stock ROM (remove .md5 and leave .tar) and than extract all seperate pieces that are contained within the stock ROM.
All those extracted pieces from the stock ROM you have to upload seperately onto Heimdall and try to flash them to your tablet, one by one.
Heimdall you'll find 'here' or use FWUL instead which has Heimdall pre installed, download is to be found 'here' and install it on a USB medium a stick, to put FWUL onto USB, use Balena-Etcher and the download is to be found 'here'.
Micro USB cable does work, but if you're unsure, try another one and make sure using the correct drivers too.
Using Odin, make sure the tablet is recognised and 'connected' in Odin, also make sure 'repartitioning' is unchecked.
If you've used the wrong Odin version, flashing will fail!
You have Discord by any chance?

Thank you for you time man!

You're welcome.
Hi, complete novice here, does anyone know where I can get a working Firmware for my Tab 3 v7 (SM-210)?
I have searched through various forum articles here, and tried to install with several builds but none will install. The only one that gets anywhere near is the JASBR build by gr8nole. It appears to install, but on restart, the TAB just sits on the "Samsung Tab3" start screen.
I read that I may need to flash the firmware 4.4.4 (Kit Kat), but can't find it!
The unit is not totally bricked (yet), as I can run TWRP 2.8, with which I created a backup of the original build, but when I try to restore the backup, it fails at just over 31%.
Can anyone help please?

Bricked Galaxy Tab3 7.0 SM-T210, can't enter download or recovery modes

I have a Galaxy Tab3 7.0 SM-T210 that we've owned for a long time, but I now want to use it for more things and find it a little clunky and slow compared to our more up to date smart phones. So i wanted to flash with a newer version of Android, but the tablet now appears to be bricked showing the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen and it won't do anything else. It won't enter download mode or recovery mode.
I came across these instructions to take me from a stock tab, and upgrade to Android 9.0 theupgradeguide.com/2019/09/17/install-android-9-0-pie-on-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-7-0-lineageos-16-how-to-guide
I loaded TWRP successfully using Odin and was able to set up a Nandroid backup. I then moved on to part 5 to perform a factory reset of the device, which was successful. This is where it started to go wrong though! I chose the reboot option after the wipe, rather than as per the instructions going back to the TWRP main menu. The tab rebooted and would't get past the Samsung logo. It went back in to download mode when I tried, and then tried to flash with a stock version of KitKat Android. Odin recognised the tab connected, it accepted the .tar flash file, and the tab showed the progress bar showing the download happening. Then Odin failed after a few minutes, and then the firmware upgrade failure error message appeared.
After lots of internet searching I've tried the following:
1. Putting it in download mode, doesn't work!
2. Putting it in recovery mode, doesn't work!
3. Connecting it to Kies, device not recognised and latest version of Kies doesn't have the option to manually select your device to reload the firmware!
4. Tried using ADB, device isn't recognised!
So i'm at a loss what to do to fix it, can anyone help?!
I was just trying to do the same yesterday. It all went fine with backing up and wiping, but TWRP didnt accept the image I downloaded.
It is so sad to have a capable hardware limited due lack of manufacturer care (not even saying updates, because they updated the android version at the time, but lack of optimization and how my tablet became sluggish, gave me disgust of any samsung branded device).
Can't you get to TWRP screen anymore?
If you can get to Odin download mode, trying reflashing Odin (perhaps a different version).
