Hi Guys
I was having some trouble connecting my Galaxy S2 to my comp this evening to transfer some photos. Downloaded and installed Kies and it said there was a software update. Went through with it, upgrading to Icecream Sandwich (or w/e its called) but during the installation process it failed (can't remember the exact error message).
My phone is now unable to switch on, just showing the error message:
"Firmware upgraded encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Unfortunately, Kies will not locate my device and will not go through with recovery.
After some searching I came accross this forum, and specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771]this thread.
I've worked my way through that. I can flash the kernel succesfully through Odin (says pass) but when I try and flash the firmware it fails.

Get the same trying to use Bootloader aswell.
Now I'm guessing my warranty is now voided, so is there anything I can do to save my phone or is it completely b0rked?
Help much appreciated.
Some details from under my battery
Model GT-I9100P
SSN: I9100PGSMH
Any other details you need?
Bare in mind i cannot get into the phone at all.
Is it possible that I need to use the ICS recovery package rather than the Gingerbread?
i think u need full rom with pit and ur phone will work
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I'm in work and don't have a comp with full access. Any chance you could possibly link the files I need or at least point me in the right direction.
Many thanks.

Odin and Kies don't play well together. Uninstall Kies and try Odin again.
****Non of this is of any importance. Just chill the f**k out and relax****
Keis removed ands still no joy from Odin - Wife getting a bit paniky now

When you flash via PC odin don't use .pit file and don't tick repartition (leave all options in odin default). Rom file open as PDA. It should work.

If you can go into download mode, you can flash another firmware from other regions.

Not really sure what the issue is!

Same problem here, my phone was working fine then all of a sudden i noticed it was dead, tried rebooting it, nothing happened, boot loop, tried to access CWM, i got the lower section menu of CWM but nothing else, a black screen with the buttons.
So next i said, let me use odin to flash a new kernel. That failed and ever since that failed, i cannot do anything except enter download mode. If i power the phone on, i get a [phone-problem-computer] image in yellow with text that says somehting like problem loading software, please conntect to kies recovery mode. of course that never works.
And everytime i try to flash absolutely anything on this device, Odin DOES see the device, and the second i press flash/start, when it reacher nand write start, it hangs there, stuck doing nothing.
I took the phone to a friend who has an Riff jtag box, he soldered his jtag to the phone and said the memory chip is not dead, i can read its capacity normally. But when he tried to write to it, it did not work, kept giving him errors, he said he has never encountered such a behavior before. And then i had to leave.
Up to now, my phone is still dead and i have no idea what to do. It only enters download mode, but at the same time, this is useless since flashing anything simply does not work. Anyone knows what the reason could be?
FYI, i was on NeatROM 5.5, which comes with Philz Kernel.
NAND is stuffed/corrupted. How/why - who knows ? Motherboard replacement if you've already tried JTAG. Could be something hardware going on that caused the chip to become 'damaged'.
Please help.
i tried to do a stock restore using the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2657828 and there was an error. i did this before and it worked now it failed.

Edit: i think i fixed it. i tried the file i had 3~4 times and nothing so i downloaded the nab stock rom fromhttp://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Note%203%20%28SM-N900P%29/Stock%20ROMs/ and it's installing now. i hope there are no more isues.

The NAB file will fix your issues, but I'll address what happened so others can see this thread and learn.
On the Note 3, once you're on Kit Kat (NAB or NC5), you cannot downgrade to Jellybean (MJ4).
Trying to do so will cause the error in OPs post.
There are tons of repositories where you can get stock NAB or NC5 TW Roms (taking a stroll through the Developers Section will find them easily), so all you have to do is try one of those and all of your issues will be solved.
I made the mistake of trading phones with a guy whose GS4 was rooted with SS recovery and there were no MSD in it when we traded. I brought it home, restarted it. And it began to get stuck on the "FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. PLEASE SELECT RECOVERY MODE IN KIES & TRY AGAIN." which I know to not use Kies as it was useless to me when I had my first GS4 at time of launch. I am fairly new at this with a gs4. I have tried and tried with ODIN v3.07. I have been on here and looking through forums and I went to other forums besides xda with countless different trials. NONE have been even the slightest bit helpful...
I was wondering since it was stuck on the devilish yellow triangle screen. I can not even get past this to get the launcher... could ADB be the problem since I can't get it to even boot up to enable it?
before anyone asks, to which will waste both our time....
yes, i have used the stock vz firmware and placed it in the PDA section in ODIN
THIS IS WHAT I GET EVERY TIME.

This has happened to me about four times with my phone. I was able to fix through a process of Kies and Odin. It seems that if you do all that you can in Kies, as far as attempting to re-install the stock firmware. Kies has the drivers you need in order for Odin to work. You will need to run through the Kies process (it will fail), but you will get the drivers you need. You will then need to boot into download mode and do the Odin flash process. This is all assuming you have the correct files for Odin. You will need to flash the stock build afterwards unless you have a backup and are able to access safestrap which i doubt you will have.
i have galaxy s3 the international model
right now it stucks on the logo. i can get into download mod, but not into recovery.
i've tried to flash stock version. i used first the one file method . didn't work, then i tried the 4 files method
with bootloader etc... but it failed again.
i changed cables, usb ports, nothing!
here's the odin log.

Check if it says "Custom" on "Current Binary"
This is probably a cause of half SDS(Sudden Death Syndrome),basically your device is dead
