Hi all, ok, I have GT-I9100P it was running 2.6.35.7- I9100P-BVKI3- CL608158 [email protected]#2
I was going to to be rooting the phone, so I could unlock....after connecting to kies, I got " there is a firmware upgrade" available, so, I went for it...that's where it went wrong, the update hung at 3%.....did nothing, then I had to goto emergency recovery, it then hung at 8%....I have also tried to use odin,( all kies turned offf) thought I had gotten what I needed, but that only gets so far & fails....so I am now stuck with a broken phone & really need some help to get it running again, any ideas guys???
thanks in advance
Can you just explain the real problem with the phone?
Can you still recovery mode? Can you still enter download mode?
What do you mean by Odin fails?

edit: Seriously, this forum seems to be dead. Solved the problem by ignoring the "encountered an issue" warning and tried to open the download mode with succcess. Stock rom solved the problem.
I have a n8005, and since Samsung is not gonna release JB a long time for n8005 I decided to upgrade firmware myself with my limited knowledge. It seems to be easy to do but actually it is pretty hard for newbies like me.
Tried to upgrade with firmware 4.1.2 German version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016792) via Odin. Now it doesn't even go to the recovery mode and writes "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
OK, what to do now? Any advise?
hey im trying to help out someone that paid me to fix their phone. I usually always am able to fix soft bricks but this note is pretty stubborn. Only will go into download mode. I flashed at&t stock rom and it froze on turning on apps I guess and now it's back to only going into download mode. there is no recovery. If anyone can help it'd be appreciated.
Have you tried an emergency firmware recovery using kies?
Screw kies
Use Odin
Hi,
I tried to manually update my Samsung Galaxy Note i717 (rooted) from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. In Kies, I was able to enter the model number and serial number and the download began installing on the phone. The Kies closed itself, and the phone is still showing "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!"
In this state the phone is no longer recognized by Kies. Rebooting, restoring, removing/replacing the battery doesn't help.
Can someone please help me with this? I'm not really a phone techie.
I've looked into using Odin but one or more of the links to the download files are always gone.
Thanks,
Nena

Hi there,
Maybe try this, it should help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Although the steps are for the Note N7000, you should still be able to find everything in the same websites (samfirmware, etc) but just look for i717.
Hope it helps!

It's very simple. You went in bootloop, enough that resets going into recovery and reflash the firmware.
If you do not go into recovery then go to Download Mode and reflash the firmware
Hello,
I have a big problem, i'm fairly experienced with phone and technology and have done my fair share of phone fixing and flashing ROMs on phones. Now today my moms old galaxy phone broke (GT-I8262), the phone couldn't boot into android, i tried to wipe cache didn't work, did a factory reset that also didn't work, So i went to the samsung site and download the stock rom, odin and all the tools i need, installed drivers. I started the flashing process when suddenly the phone lost connection to the PC, ofc i know that this is really bad and thought i could reset the process and flash the ROM (I was wrong).
Now im stuck with the phone not being able to be recognized by my PC whenever i plug it in, When i try to boot into recovery mode i get the message (firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again), I cannot use kies or odin to flash the Phone cuz windows will just not recognize it, i need help since my mom does not have the money or wants to buy a new phone.
Thanks to everyone in advance.
