I have a Samsung Tab 3 (SM-T210R). I am currently stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. I have connected to Odin 3.07 and re-installed my stock ROM. It is successful multiple times now. The issue is that whenever the device restarts, it reboots to the same screen "firmware update encountered an issue". I got to this state by trying to flash a backup in TWRP. It failed, and now I can't use the device whatsoever. The device also will not turn off. It will try, but promptly reboots to the same screen. I have also tried re-partitioning with the proper PIT file along side the firmware ROM. This was also a "PASS". Any ideas?

Have you tried forcing a reboot to recovery using the button combination? HOME, POWER and VOL UP buttons.

Yes, I have. It just turns off and then reloads the "firmware update encountered an issue" screen.
Take your battery out and put it back in.
I think you can flash with Odin in state "firmware update encountered an issue".

i just got this phone and tried to root it. i installed the kernal using oden and it went over without a hitch... but then after the phone turned off it got stuck at the boot screen with the yellow triangle and wouldnt go any further. after some time i unpluged it and turned it off and on. same thing happened. so i flashed the kernal again. this time when i turn it on it sais "firmware update encountered an issue- connect to keis in recovery mode.
i tried connecting to keis but it sais the device will not respond. i cant enter clockwork recovery mode cuz it just goes to the same error screen. i can only get into oden mode. i have a i9100 mugkg2 on tellus. nothing is working. i also tried using oden to install the stock rom but it fails every time. please help! how can i just get it back to factory
It sounds like you've bricked your phone, have you tried a USB jig to try and reset it yet? Try ebay, look for i9100 usb jig

Install KIES, then use the Unlock Root

Hi teck2100,
If you can get into odin mode (aka download mode) then you're fine. You should be able to flash a stock rom using odin.
Look here for a list of roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 and pick one that you can root using D00ml0rd's method (zergrush), it's the simplest way I've found for root and Mobile Odin is the best app for custom rom's in my opinion.
Good luck and if it helped please use thanks,
Stefan.
I tried to use odin to root my phone but there was an issue and my phone is stuck on a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please Select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I tried firmware emergency recovery but it always freezes and a different percentages each time. Also, I can not get into download mode. My phone is a samsung galaxy s3 SGH-I747.
After flashing the t-Mobile stock image T989UVMC6_T989TMBMC6_TMB downloaded from Sam Mobile, and Odin did say PASS
Now, the phone is displaying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The phone is connected to the computer, Kies is stock on "Connecting" for very long time then it says the device is having a problem connecting and to solve the issue by restarting the device.
The phone displays a yellow rectangle with exclamation mark in it.
Any idea how to get out of this?
Solved
Even with the exclamation mark on the phone screen, I started Odin, it did see the phone, reflash the MD5 stock image file, left auto reboot checked, and everything is back to normal. Phone started fine.
Nvm...delete
Wrong thread
I attempted to re-root my tab S and currently have it on the initial samsung screen. The tab will not turn off nor will it go into recovery mode. It will however go into download mode while operating. I have used odin and reflashed the stock rom while in the download mode. Odin shows success but after the transfer of files to the tab the android man appears and as the stock rom is loading the white loading bar starts to decrease and the word erasing appears. I assume this is happening because I can not turn the tablet off before starting the downloading process.
When I attempt to turn off the tab or get into recovery I get haptic feedback but the word samsung just keeps blinking. I have tried the recovery key sequence at least 50 times.
Any suggestions? Thanks

It boots into recovery after flashing the firmware to complete the update. After 'Erasing' it will automatically reboot.
You must then wait at least 10 minutes for the upgrade to complete. DO NOT attempt to reboot until at least this much time has passed while the Samsung logo blinks.

Thought I responded earlier - THANKS
Guys sorry to bother you but my phone just keeps turning off and on. It happened when I updated my phone with the normal OTA update in the device settings. I left my phone alone for a few minutes but when I came back, I saw the error "An error has occured in updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
The error screen also keeps turning off and on. I searched the OTA up on Sammobile and downloaded it to flash on my phone using Odin.
However, when I go into download mode and start flashing(where it says Downloading: Do not turn off target), the screen turns off and it returns to to flickering error screen. My phone keeps exiting Odin mode and restarts to that screen.
This applies for anything I flash. It's like the Odin mode is broken or something.
Please help me because this is my main device! Your help would greatly be appreciated!
I was updating to the latest Android 9 Pie software for Singapore(XSP) from Android 8 Oreo.
J610FXXS3BSG1_J610FOLM3BSG1_XSP
I also did not do any other form of mods like custom recovery or root.
