Hello All,
I was attempting to update the firmware via Samsung Kies, boot into recovery as instructed, and now I'm stuck on the Downloading screen. I've went back and restarted the process and it pop up with a Notice message in Korean or Japanese (this also popped up the first time I've tried), clicked OK, and nothing else happens. In Kies, it's attempting to connect to the Tab and was not successful either.
The only thing that I've performed on the Tab since I've gotten it is "Root".
Do I need to "Unroot" in order to process this firmware update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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?
Have an AT&T Galaxy Note II.
It was rooted and there were some strange problems happening with the phone from time to time so I decided to go ahead and unroot it.
As I have done before, I decided to restore the Galaxy Note II to its original firmware.
I got the AT&T SGH-I317 firmware from Sammobile.
Loaded Odin in Windows. Loaded the downloaded TAR file.
Upon hitting start the recovery would go about halfway then suddenly FAIL.
Tried it on a different computer. Same thing.
Now I cannot boot my phone. When I do, it goes into a firmware error mode and suggests KIES recovery.
KIES cannot even see my phone at this point.
Anyone have any suggestions? I am in the process of redownloading the firmware file, but I am guessing that is not the problem.
Thanks
Hello,
I bought a second hand HTC ONE S of some guy and as soon as it tried to update the firmware from 4.0.3 to the new 4.1, it does a restart and goes into Team Win Recovery Project 2.5 (twrp) and nothing happens since then. This is when I realized that device must have been rooted. I was checking the root on the device and it does not appear to be rooted any more (the root checker apps just get stuck on the "please wait", and I tried to install titanium backup, and it also gets stuck on "waiting for root access".
What can I do?
I am stuck with this phone now and really all I wanted was to have a stock updated version phone, nothing more.
Thanks for any help in advance.
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!
I have downgraded my phone s6 edge from 7.0 to 6.0.1. I downloaded firmware from the samsung page for the country and the nexwort it was bought for.
I used odin, phone was recognised and the whole process was successful. Odin said PASS!!
After installing the software it restarted and i said " Stopping IU" and stopping "features enhance".
After that restarted and it has been stuck at the logo since.
What do i do nexT?

Head over to recovery mode and perform a factory reset. Boot-up will take about 10-15 minutes.
