He got into download mode and tried again successfully.
Can you still get into download mode?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
i had the same problem but i flash it back to stock
you are not bricked, thats the good news...if you have the same problem as me then you should already be in recovery mode. all you have to do it flash the stock rom. that should fix it.

hey guys, I was running my S3 on the paranoid android(2.99) just fine but then I tried to flash 2.54 over my 2.99 install through TWRP. It flashed fine but then it was stuck on the PA bootscreen so then I tried restoring a backup through TWRP but it said no backups found even though I made 3, i later realised they were in a different folder and I couldn't get them.
Anway, desperate to get a working phone, I downloaded the I9300XXELLA firmware and flashed it via ODIN, it failed so I disconnected my phone and now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, select recovery mode through kies". I cannot go into recovery or download mode.
Is there anyway to get my phone to work or have I successfully created a paperweight?
The phone was bought from India. If I need to provide any information, let me know, I'd love having my phone back.
First step is to source a USB recovery Jig to get to download mode .
That fails its a service centre .

Hello, I wanted to add my previous Issue I had before running into this problem.
I currently need to fix a issue ASAP as I am selling my s3 soon. I tried to unroot my s3 and reset it to factory settings but flashed the Verizon firmware on my phone and not the international version firmware. The flash failed in Odin and now I am stuck at a screen saying the Firmware upgrade encountered an error. Please try again. I tried to go into download and recovery mode multiple times and cannot do so. I assume is bricked or soft bricked? Can I use a usb jig to get into download mode?

After purchasing a USB JIG, I can now get into Download mode, but the issue is every time I try to install a stock firmware, I am stuck in Recovery mode. The binary count on the phone says "18", but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. Please help, thank you. My phone is the I9300.
So the stock ROM installs without errors?
Have you done a factory reset from recovery afterwards?
This should be fixable unless the firmware you flashed also included a bootloader

No, the stock ROM cannot install, every time I try to install the ROM, it gets stuck in Odin says "Recovery". I cannot get into the phone because it will still show the firmware error if I unplug the usb jig from the usb download mode.
Have you tried Kies if you want to return to stock, start Kies and go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Installation
Follow the instructions on the screen, this is supposed to completely reset the phone and install the latest firmware version for that phone

either ask in the CM thread or flash a stock rom from sammobile.com then root all over again.
where is the cm thread for this phone...
In the meantime... I have tried to use Odin to reset to factory but it fails, so asking in cw thread would do no good if I cannot access cw... count is @ 13 and cannot add triangle either so I cannot take back... tried Kies but once again I cannot turn phone on... so if anyone can guide me to factory reset thread since I have been searching for 3 hrs I would appreciate it...

i think you've confused what i said with about 3 different things here~~!
odin doe's not do a factory reset, odin flashes firmware. can you get in to recovery or download mode any more? (i guess you can if you know your flash count is at 13) kies won't do anything since you are rooted and (was) running a firmware it would not recognize. kies is a pile of tosh! Delete it!
below is taken from a thread, i've provided the link and the part you need to know, Which stock firmware are you trying to flash through odin? and where did you get it from? use sammobile.com.
[EDIT] the CM thread is the same thread you downloaded the CM rom from.
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Open the included Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!

I have used Odin in the past with my first Epic to flash back to factory so that is why I tried with this one when I found the tar file, but it fails every time. I cannot get into recovery only download. When I try to get into recovery it says "Fireware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"... CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5 is the file I flashed from Team Epic... I downloaded CWM back in Nov over 5 months ago... no idea where it is now...
That file failed as well
Hey guys, i was running the latest version of Slim Kat rom for my i9100 when it turned off and then was stuck on samsumg boot logo. When i try to access twrp it just says teamwin and wont go any further. It happened once before and so i just flashed a stock rom and then went back to rooting it. However, now when i try to flash any rom (stock/custom), or another recovery with odin it freezes at "nand write start". I have access to download mode which is really the only thing i have working atm
Ive read around and done everything (eg try other usb ports/cables/odin version) but no luck. Is there anything else i could do? I dont wanna do a pit flash cause im scared ill completely screw it up.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi,
My friend has been using his Galaxy s2 for over quite some time and suddenly it froze during the bootscreen. It has been a clean version without anything warrenty-voiding stuff on it...
He asked me to look it up and i managed to get the phone into Download mode (Recovery mode wasn't working)
First time i tried to flash everyting over again on my Windows with Odin without using PIT files, after that i went into Ubuntu and still no luck..
At last i went back to Odin, flashing with PITfiles. When i tried this my PC froze and after a few hours i decided to reboot my phone. When i tried to get it back into download mode i just got a blank screen. no Download mode, no Recovery mode and so on. Even when i plug my phone into the wallcharger nothing happens.
Is there anything i still can try to get his phone up and running again?
Thanks in advance!

Did you tick repartition phone when you were flashing the pit files? Are you trying to use stock rom or custom rom? Stock rom requires the system size to be at defaults so make sure to flash a stock size pit. Otherwise, make sure you factory reset and wipe cache partition if you are trying to flash custom rom.

It was a stock rom i used with the stock pit.
The problem is i couldn't (and still cant) get into recovery mode. I could (not anymore) get into Download mode.
Do you have other thoughts?

Have you tried a USB jig? See if your phone reacts too it. Since you can't get to download mode, you hard bricked your phone (assume your chsrging port is still ok). Were you running ics or JB?

It was running on ICS, I will try the USB jig ASAP and i will get back to ya!
Thanks for now
Still not working..
Trying an USB jig didnt put the phone into download mode. I bought one online and also tested it on my phone. It did work on mine but doesnt on the bricked S2. Is there also something else I can try now?
Regards,
Orlando
I had exactly the same problem. The phone had to be JTAG restored. This process isn't for the feint of heart to say the least.
Google "JTAG i9100" and watch some Youtube vids.
