Okay, so I just bought my Galaxy S2 a few hours ago came home and went to root it just like I've done every android phone when I get it. So far I've had a G1, HTC Hero and a HTC Evo 4G. So I'm not really new to doing any of this but I wouldn't say I'm any expert either. I used the tutorial for rooting from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682) and it was this youtube video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-2Z2dKsuio) I tried to do it and got all the way until the point where you push start and then it said that it failed. Now all I can get my phone to do is pop up to a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I have looked for a recovery mode option in Kies but can't find anything. The only thing I find is something about an Emergency Recovery and when I try that it asks for a pin or something. If anybody can help it'd be awesome!
What were you trying to flash? with Odin, right?
Remove the battery, hold both volume buttons, plug in USB, keep holding volume buttons.... does it enter download after ten seconds or so?
Try with this stuff using odin if you can enter download.

Then enter 3 button recovery and wipe data.
See if it boots.

i still have a similar issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461620
then the phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
weirdly the only way i was able to get back to download mode is when i flash the root(GalaxyS2ATTRootZedomax) via odin (put in pda)
you can try , but im still stuck and my phone isnt booting or flashing
dont know if this will work with you (so dont do my way unless your sure it wont harm)

It kind of goes to download, it goes to that screen where it tells you to click volume up to go into download and then you click volume up and it goes to the screen where it says the whole "firmware upgrade encountered an issue....." and which one should I try out of the four? I wasn't able to root my phone or install custom roms or anything. it messed up right from the beginning... :/

I'm confused. You never flashed anything and the phone won't boot?
Can you enter recovery? (Hold all three buttons until you see text)

Also make sure youve exited Kies. Kill the process. You just need the drivers.

I tried flashing the .tar from this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-2Z2dKsuio) video to give myself root but it gave me an error and didn't actually flash. and now my phone is just an expensive piece of plastic sitting on my desk and I can't go to sleep until I turn it back into a phone. I have a feeling work tomorrow is going to suck. ha should have waited until the weekend.

well I was never actually able to flash a rom or anything so I don't think we have the exact same problem. some of the same symptoms though.
Dude i was just Googling your error message. Its all over the internet. Doesn't look like a disaster. The only way you can truly **** up is by flashing something from the wrong phone.
Look around. Its out there.

Remove your battery. Hold power down for a while. Release. Keep battery out of phone. Hold both volume buttons (not power) and plug in usb. See of it enters download.

I know, I googled it for about 2 hours trying all sorts of different things and none of them are working. I'm still trying different stuff though. odin still recognizes my phone just nothing works when I try it.

the phone just keeps going buzz....buzz....buzz but the screen doesn't ever come on and nothing happens when I leave the battery out.
PS. I also noticed earlier that the phone would stay on that screen where it asks about entering download mode until I would raise my fingers off the volume buttons and then it would go back to the screen that tells me to do the recovery with kies or w/e
Sorry no idea.... if you can't get to download with what I said a few times, then in lost.... there are a number of folks here who know way more than I do. I'm bowing out.
At the very least, check out the unbrick/return to stock thread in detail...

is it bad that my product name says "SGH-I727" isn't it supposed to say "SGH-I777"??
So I was in the middle of messing with my note, rooted already and working great. Just downloaded a ROM to the SD. Not installing anything. Note not plugged in but 98% on battery.
All of a sudden the screen is blank. Can't get anything to turn on. Don't see anything on the screen. Nothing. Changed battery, plugged it in, no dice nothing.
Ideas? Hardware issue?
Any and all help is appreciated.
By the way was on stock ROM.
Really any help is appreciated.
Try downloading and running the is odin one click. And try to put your phone in download mode. if it does not work. hardware failure and youll need a new device
I would try the above, download mode, all different modes of the phone to see what's working.
Also i would try holding the power button for 8 mississippi seconds and see if it vibrates.

Hello ,
I am running T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3
I was installing wanam-lite ROM , my phone was rooted already and I flashed myself into ClockWorkMod Recovery.
When I tried to install the .zip file I can an error that said.
"assert failed:write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")" error"
So I then backed out of the whole recovery and selected reboot phone.
Once my phone powered off it never powered back on.
Here's what my phone is currently doing.
Power button = No response
Volume down + Home + Power = No response
Remove battery + Plug in wall charger = Red LED comes on , but phone is still unresponsive
Remove Battery + Plug in Wall charger + Put battery back in = Still no response.
P.S When phone connects to PC makes a sound - Ba doom
Then 2 seconds after makes a rejected sound

Yeah I just was in a rush.
Attention is key.
Hi,
My i9300 died one week ago. It suddenly started to reboot. I removed the battery, I tried another. But the moment I plug the battery, the reboots start. The phone shows the "Samsung SIII" initial logo and it restarts. If I try to enter download mode or recovery, it restarts too.
I have searched everywhere, every forum, but I have not found anyone with this problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
is your power button stuck? try adjusting it carefully make sure not to have it pressed.
Sounds like the internal memory is screwed. You say you cant get into download mode?
When it died where you trying to install a custom rom?

Hi
Samsung galaxy s3 GT-i9300 did an auto update and a few hours later the phone shut down and would not restart. When you attempt to restart the Samsung logo appears on the screen and the phone locks up until you either hold down the power button which causes it to reboot and again lock up when the samsung logo appears or remove battery.
Have tried a hard reset by holding the vol home and power buttons but it won’t reset. The only thing it will do is go in to flash custom rom mode.
Has this happened to any of you guys?
Has anyone got any idea what I could do??
P.s the phone is a standard uk sim free phone and it has not been poked with.... no custom roms no root…
Thanks

Hi
i've been through the stickies a few times and if something was relevant to me i either missed it or I didn't understand it.
As i can't get into hard reset by pressing vol up plus home plus power am i right to say i also can't get into the recovery.
i was hoping when that chap mentioned recovery there was a different method of getting there.
the phone is able to only go in to one mode... pressing volume down plus home plus power gets into a os downloading mode.
I tried to use kies with this mode but it doesn't seem to see the phone when connected to usb (pc beeps when phone is plugged in it installs something drivers I think) I was hopping to use recovery firmware in kies..
Any ideas
Thanks

I think the phone comes with 24 month manufacturers warranty in Europe. I need to send mine in too (SDS) and waiting for the "jiffy bag".

I think the phone comes with 24 month manufacturers warranty in Europe. I need to send mine in too (SDS) and waiting for the "jiffy bag". I have a small bump on the back cover, would that make em think its a drop defect? Can they take it in without the back cover, in the email they say phone and battery nothing else.

Hi
. When I phoned Samsung the bloke told me not to send in the back cover or the battery.
All they wanted was the phone.
And he made the point of telling me that 2 or 3 time

This is what they sent me "Please ensure that you only send the device itself with the battery, remove all SIM cards/microSD cards and back up any important files." Nothing about the cover but battery seems to be important. The phone cant turn on and I even told them that so I dunno how I'm supposed to back up important files.
