SM-A520F/DS firmware problem - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hi all.. My Galaxy A5 2017 (SM-A520F/DS) was running on Android 7 and I wanted to update it to 8 using Odin.. I followed all the steps.. But i downloaded the android 8 for Luxemburg as the one for the Emirates didn't come up yet.. When i clicked start on Odin to update.. It didn't take a minute. Showed me that it Pass.. And the mobile restarted.. But doesn't read the SIM CARD any more and still on Android 7..the Baseband Version is Unknown.. Please help

Did you used the latest ODIN? Previous versions do not work, make sure you use odin 3.13.1 or latest

Yes. I did.. I've tried to downgrade to Android 7 many times but it failed.. And now it stucked at Samsung logo and doesn't power on ((

Same here, I use the same region with previous, XSE/XID, using Odin 3.12 but it stayed on Nougat and my IMEI is unknown now. Please help!

Problem Solved
The everyone for not helping)...after watching some videos on YouTube I could understand the problem and solve it..here is how..
Downloading last version of (Combination ROM for Galaxy A5 2017)that's how I searched it on Google..many websites offer it.. then flash it to the mobile using last Odin version (add the Combination ROM to AP section on Odin) mobile should be in downloading mode.. the mobile will go into (FacTory Binary mode) that will fix the imie..while still in Factory Binary mode activated Developer Options and into it enable USB Debugging mode..then switch off the mobile and switch it on into downloading mode then flash your new firmware..Bl BL to BL section and AP to AP section and CP to CP and CSC_... (not CSC_Home)to CSC section... then flash it..that's exactly what I did and now I've Android 8 from different Region..

[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)
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCUM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
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!

[Q] Problem in Note 2 Boot + Firmware installation

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

Please it is a request , I need a precise method to overcome this problem ... some files in your suggested link doesnot work especially Hotfile.com
Thank you for reading
where can I download "Recovery Package/ROM"? Hotfile.com is not available anymore
Thank you
removed
simple google search gave me this , try to download!
Edit : i took the link off , because it could harm your phone if you are coming from 4.3 android

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....

[Q] Tab 3 7.0 T110 Stock firmware dump.

I'm currently stuck at CWM and cannot get out, I flashed rockettab 3.1 to try and move out of the recovery loop but after I flash it I get device memory is full, I've found a few links on the forums for the stock download but the host sites are absolute crap and take 5 hours to download a file less then 1gig.. If anyone has a drop box link that they could give me for the Tab 3 7.0 t110 I'd appreciate that.
I Unbricked my tablet using kies3. The original kies kept crashing during boot for me, but if you have this same issue simply click Tools at the top of the kies program, then click FirmWare Upgrade and Initialization, in the new window for model name, in my case, it is SM-T110 I think it has to be capitilized, would cause kies to hang if it was lowercase for me. Then enter your Serial number and follow the steps.
Go to this site, type in SM-T110 and download the proper firmware for your country.

Galaxy S4 mini hard brick no root

Hi mates,
a friend gave me his s4 galaxy mini lte gt-i9195 that is hard bricked.
it was all official, it's no rooted and with official rom 4.4.2 kitkat.
after an official update via ota, the phone start to go on bootloop, i can enter on download mode and recovery mode.
recovery mode is usless cause it says no data found. and when i try to wipe cache and data, it says "e footer is wrong e signature verification failed".
i've try to repair it from keis but nothing's happened.
also odin was useless for me, maybe cause i've usedd it in the wrong way.
someone can help me?
thank you, squall_17
If you use ODIN make sure you uninstall Kies and also disable firewall and antivirus. Don't uninstall drivers do if it asks you to. Also using Odin on anything above Windows 7 you may run into problems
ok thank you for the info, so i have to use odin and set to ap the firmware right?, i don't know the version of this phone, so can i use every firmware that i want?
Most if not all latest i9195 firmware should work. Try just stick to one for your country. And yes AP is where it goes. Good luck
Hi again guys,
for first, i want to say thanks to moderator to have moved my thread in the right section and say sorry for my error.
for second, i've tryed with a ita firmware 'cause i'm italian, odin say pass after the process finished, but nothing is changed, the only information that i could give is that on recovery mod there is this code on the left top: "kot49h.i9195xxucnk1".
I talk with my friend and he told me that he bought the phone online, and maybe from France.
Is there a way to install an ita rom?...or what can I do?
Thank you, Squall_17
