While flashing a stock rom on odin and it got interrupted, the error showed after rebooting. I have tried with kies but it only keeps on disconnecting when plugged in. It no longer allows me to enter into download mode.
I know that there are threads here regarding this issue, but there is no solution that worked for me.
Please help me I have tried every solution that I have found based on different samsung devices. Nothing works for me.
SM-T210
What device is it? On older devices like my TAB3 the error screen that you get that tells you to use kies to fix is download mode and Odin should recognize it. I've tried a few things that have left me in this situation.

Thank you for replying. The model device name is SM-T210. Yes, Odin can still recognize it but no luck on kies. Did you fix yours?
Yes, i have a 210R. I've done this many times. What I always do use odin to flash @gr8nole's TWRP recovery. Then in TWRP either restore a backup or download my custom ROM and install it in TWRP. (I did my ROM off of 210 firmware so it would be compatible with both the 210 and the 210R)

The zip will flash a raw system image and boot image and should get you going. If not I can upload a twrp backup for you.

That's good to hear. Is this the one that you used? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437219
So in flashing TWRP on Odin, do I need to uncheck the auto reboot and directly boot it to TWRP after flashing is done?

Yep that's the one. Honestly, it should work either way...since no OS is installed if you try to boot it should automatically reboot to TWRP.

Try holding vol+, home, and power until the tab3 splash comes up, then release power but keep the other 2 held in. It should boot to TWRP recovery.

Sorry. I have no knowledge about Adb. But I'm willing to learn.
First let's go ahead and retry your stock firmware with Odin. If it is successful, you can reflash TWRP and then try my ROM or just run stock. If that doesn't work, then we'll try adb. After your odin flash, even if it fails, if the splash screen comes back, you can flash TWRP and then enter recovery.

Theres no problem in flashing. Everything is fine but it still returns to the error.
Hmm. Is it the correct firmware? I'm gonna go ahead and prepare you a file that will have adb, fastboot, and a cmd window. I'll upload it shortly, just extract it into a folder on your desktop or somewhere where it is easy to get to.

Here is adb. After you extract it, open the cmd window and type adb devices with the tab plugged in. Hopefully it will show it.

I have a galaxy nexus that is stuck on the google screen and boots to download mode and fastboot but not recovery. I have tried reverting back to stock with fastboot and odin but no luck. I am offering 30 dollars via paypal or anything for whoever can fix it.
Suggestions: (You aren't bricked)
1.Uninstall Redownload Drivers for computer
2. Try a different USB port on the computer
3. Try a different USB cord
4. Restart Computer
5. After doing all 4 above boot into download mode. make sure you have a good tar file and use odin to go back to stock
No reward needed if you fix it with above
A thanks would suffice

If you can get into bootloader and download mode, you certainly aren't bricked. If you're in bootloader mode, use fastboot and the factory restore images to get your phone back to stock. Then restart and see if your phone works. From there, go back to the rom/kernel/recovery you were using before.

If you can boot into the bootloader then it should be straight forward to fix your phone.

I'm actually in the exact same situation. I was simply transferring music to my phone when it went into this boot loop. I've tried using ODIN to flash every possible ROM I've been able to find.
Desperately in need of help.
How exactly do I perform a "wipe"?
1. Can you guys get into Download and or Recovery mode?
2. If recovery is available, did you back up? If so, restore or flash back to original Rom.
3. If you can get into Download mode, flash back to a stock Rom, and start fresh.
Might sound obvious, just trying to help. I've learned that often I thought the phone was "done", but after refusing to give up on it, it came back to life...
Just keep trying , sounds recoverable for both.

You can wipe by getting into recovery. Wipe Data, cache, dalvik cache.

If you can get into recovery you can wipe/factory reset and that should get you past boot loop. your other option is to flash stock via Odin.

You can enter download mode and reflash stock image with Odin. If you were running the stock rom you may not lose your data. Let me know if you don't know how to do this and I will direct you. It seems that something has become corrupted, but Odin will fix that

After flashing Odin you should have access to the 3e recovery. Unless something is wrong with your hardware (Volume broken?), I can not see why you would not be able to enter recovery.

You can download an Odin flashable recovery from here. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2att. you will want the .tar file.
Beyond this i'm running out of ideas. Not too sure if this will work if you have gone stock with Odin as it may have taken root from you. Worth a try though.
Maybe an emergency recovery through Kies... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984717
Beyond that try Odin again and re download the stock Rom from a different source. You may have gotten a bad download. I have read of it happening. Maybe even an older firmware or Canadian one (i'm assuming you're ATT): http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I747

thanks for your help. sucks that you couldn't find the problem.
Guys, I think I really screwed myself this time.
1) When I turn my phone on, it shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." However, when I try to do the emergency recovery on Kies, it doesn't show up on the list of devices that requires emergency recovery.
2) Somehow I deleted CWM, and I have no backups
3) Stock firmware doesn't load correctly. I tried it (Maybe with the wrong file, I don't know), and it got me to the start screen, but the touchscreen freaked out on me.
Hope all of you like a challenge... Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Phone won't boot to recovery, Even when I press up-home-power it stays in odin mode.

This sometimes happens when an ongoing OTA update is interrupted. You could first try firmware recovery via Kies. If that doesn't work, then you can flash custom recovery via Odin, since you can get into download mode, and flash a complete stock image or custom ROM via recovery. To try the first option ...
1) Install and open Samsung Kies on your PC. You need Kies now and not Kies-3
2) Open Tools => Firmware upgrade and initialization
3) Enter your model name (SGH-I747)
4) Enter the serial no of your device. Open the back cover and look in the battery compartment for this
5) Do not plug in your phone at this time but make sure you have a good quality data cable ready
6) Wait for firmware download to finish and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions. Connect your phone when prompted and allow firmware restoration to be complete.
Hope this works. If it doesn't, then try firmware restoration via (custom) recovery. I wouldn't suggest you try flashing with Odin in case your phone's bootloader already updated to 4.3. Your safest best would be to flash a complete 4.3 stock image and you can follow the instructions posted in this thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
First, you would need to flash custom recovery to your phone via Odin. You can use TWRP or CWM for now since the files posted in the thread support either one or other of the two. If you need further directions or help on this, please let us know. Good luck!

For the Kies way, It starts working, but then it turns off suddenly.
For the other way, I don't know how to do it, because I think CWM got deleted off my phone.
EDIT: When I removed the SIM Card, I was able to install the firmware. However... It freaks out whenever I put it in recovery mode, not letting me select an option. Oh, and When it gets to the purple oval with the samsung logo in the middle while booting, it shuts off.

You said you were able to successfully flash the firmware. Good! Was this via the Kies option or the recovery option? If you flashed the firmware, then you are there already. Can you try booting into recovery again and doing a wipe/factory reset? If this doesn't work, then we can try the 4.3 restore.

Except, of course, you'll need to be able to get into recovery mode fully to use this option. You may try downloading TWRP for your device via the following URL ...
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
Boot your phone into download mode and flash the recovery *.tar file via Odin
Check if you can successfully boot into TWRP. If so, you can try the hard wipe thing here. If not, it gets more difficult and you may need to go back to Odin.
If TWRP recovery works ....
1) Try doing a hard wipe/reset. If this works and enables you reboot successfully, order a drink or something. If you still cannot boot successfully, then try next step below.
2) Download the 4.3 stock recovery zip for TWRP posted in the following thread. Verify the MD5 and save to an external SD card...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
3) Place the SD card in your phone. Reboot to TWRP recovery and select install. Wait for flashing to complete. Clear your cache/dalvik and reboot to system
If you still cannot get to recovery ....
4) There is an Odin flashable *.tar file for i747 on 4.3. There have been mixed reports on its success, however. Some have reported using it successfully whilst a few have reported a brick. You have little to lose, however, and a brick, if it happens, would be likely recoverable. Scroll through the thread to find the file posted by Recognized Contributor Enewman. Download this file and flash via Odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660
I'd have also suggested flashing 4.1.1 via Odin, except there is a risk that your phone is already on the 4.3 bootloader and flashing an older would result in a brick.

The problem is that I can't flash anything because I can't get into download mode.

I thought you could get into download mode easily enough before? If you have difficulties getting into download mode, you may try using a jig as you will need download mode to effect any of the various solutions. There is no reason to panic, however. Your phone is never bricked as long as you can get into download or recovery mode.

I love you. However, there's a problem...
It's wildly inconsistent when booting up. One time I got all the way to signing into my google account, but some times it reboots after getting at the swirling pink and blue samsung logo.

Now I can, apparently. Something changed. Now I can get into download mode, but not recovery mode. So, now, what's the next step?

Can you try using Odin to flash 4.3 via then instructions posted earlier in the thread or follow the steps in the thread advised by xXFl4sh? The Odin should do it though.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52346496&postcount=39 Download firmware and flash in download mode like on picture there.
After flashing 4.3 did you perform a factory reset?

my phone shut off in the middle, and it said that it failed. Now I'm back to the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please connect to kies and try again" screen. I can still get into download mode. What now?
It apparently tripped my warranty bit too
and it shuts off within 3 seconds when on download mode. I read something about "sudden death syndrome". Is this it?
I cant format,update,or enter revovery mode.Ive tried to turn off the phone and do that power button and volume up.Then i go press recovery,then the phone restarts and go to the same screen.Theres no error thingy showing.
Hi,
Reflash your recovery via fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [color="red"]recovery.img[/color]
Replace recovery.img with your prefered recovery's filename.

You mean using conputer?
New Z00A ZE551ML 3.15 firmware can't upgrade OTA manually
I have the same problem, although it is not likely the drivers.
When attempting to sideload the full firmware image, it errors out after a few seconds, stating that it cannot detect the device. I reboot the phone manually, then reboot bootloader from command prompt. try again and the same thing happens. First, I tried placing the file on an sd card, renaming it to MOFD_SDUPDATE but it failed after 25% and left me with the screen showing the "unplugged" icon. Now I cannot enter recovery at all. Attempted root, tethered, untethered, and no luck with any. I used an app before trying any of this to make sure it was not rooted or unlocked already. I'm running out of ideas. When I get home, I will try flashing just the droidboot.img as suggested in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/unlock-bootloader-read-fix-t3138837.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. As I said my phone has
VERSION: WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.15.40.13 and failed to manually upgrade to 2.19.40

No, I mean USB Driver, for real. You can't do anything related to debugging without having the related drivers installed.

If you are getting the USB logo on your screen you're sh!t out of luck as it is a hard brick... You'll need to send back to ASUS to get rom put back on phone...

I was very fortunate that it would still boot into the bootloader. As a result I was able to fix using these instructions and pre-rooted images, including an Asus recovery image:

Also, if anyone else attempts this fix, download the images using Google Chrome or it will error out, fail checksum
