[Q] 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue' after attempted root - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, Australian Android root noob here.
I attempted to root my phone using Android Forums' guide, which I can't link to as I'm a new member (For reference - guide was created by Android Forums member ironass)
However, I realise now I made one deviation from the thread's instructions. Instead of using Siyah s2-5.0.1, I downloaded the latest version, s3-v1.8.9
I followed all the instructions regarding Odin to the letter, but the root failed with the following messages:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/004> boot.img
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
The 'Firmware upgrade encountered....' message displays when I attempt to boot the phone normally, but I can still boot the phone into download mode.
Does this mean my device is currently soft-bricked?
I'd like to try rooting again, this time with the Siyah firmware version mentioned in the guide. I haven't done anything yet after the root failed, I thought it might be better to ask here first, where people know a lot more about Android than I do
What should my next step be to get my phone back into working order, preferrably rooted rather than going back to my carrier firmware?
Thank you kindly for your assistance.

Can anyone help me figure out what to do please?
Thank you

And now one error shows that can't open COM port
this is weird u.u
Turn off device, pull battery, leave for 10 mins. Install kies, reboot and try ODIN again.
Also go browse forum there are plenty of topics about flashing via ODIN. Read and learn.

[Q] Error when trying to flash stock rom with ODIN

Hello, I am having trouble flashing a stock rom (as I am soft-bricked).
I originally tried the rom from here but that gave me an error similar to the error that the person had in the following thread.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433963&page=2 but when I tried to flash the provided ROM it gave me this error on ODIN:
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
The error on the download screen is as follows:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 5, Binary : 3
Not sure what to do here. Can't seem to flash anything with out it giving me some sort of error.
What I was doing that soft bricked me was I successfully rooted and then tried to flash TWRP onto my phone. Now it just boots straight into download mode, or if I boot it into download and cancel just reboots into download mode.
Any help? Thanks!
EDIT: Found another thread after further research. Think I found a working recovery. Trying to flash this. No errors so far. Will get back to you if it works.
EDIT2: Got it to work! I used this if anyone else had a similar issue.

The reason it failed in the first place, just so you're aware and for others who encounter your thread, you tried flashing a firmware older than the one installed on your phone, perhaps from an OTA or just straight up an older rom, and the FAIL (Auth) error is what happens when you do that. You have to flash with a rom version that is the same as or newer than what's on your phone.

[Q] Odin: Stuck at NAND Write Start

Hey everyone
Having read many threads on this issue I would appreciate help for my specific case. I got a defective device from a friend that wouldn't start anymore (introductory Samsung animation was playing repeatedly). I then tried to flash "GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9" to eventually install CM 10.1.3 and then factory reset to make sure the brick bug is not an issue. However, I was not able to flash CWM, because it gets stuck at "NAND Write Start" and eventually fails (see below). Interestingly, I flashed another i9100 flawlessly only a few days ago with the exact same setting. Nonetheless I tried different Odin versions as well as different usb ports and cables.
I have no idea what kind of kernel or android version was running on the device and I can now only get into download mode.
When reading this guide I came across two problems. First, flashing a kernel - some other thread recommended "Siyah-s2-v5.0.1" - was unsuccessful. Second, I wasn't sure if I should try to flash the ICS version mentioned in this thread.
Some mentioned falling back to flashing PIT-files, but because recovery mode is not available, I cannot use the "emmc partition scanner" to identify the correct PIT-file to flash.
I would really like to save this device, so someone else may enjoy using it again in the future. Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers

Failed to flash stock ROM to Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8010) via Odin

Hello there,
I have an old Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8010 Wifi only), which I've rooted successfully, only to find it stuck in a bootloop after some time. Whole thing happened a while ago and after many hours spent trying to fix this thing, I've surrendered and haven't touched the device since. It's been a year and now I decided to give it a shot once again, but there is no way I could remember what I've already done to it. Its current state is as follows:
1. boots only into download mode, which says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N8010
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
RP SWREV: A2
2. after trying to flash it with stock ROM (found here: don't know how to post link because of new account restriction, maybe via pm) Odin fails with this message:
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

This tablet is close to worthless to me, hence I'm willing to try everything you guys suggest (except taking it to service point).
Thank you all for help

Odin NAND Write Start Fail on J730G-DS

Some stuff about my device:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j7-pro/SM-J730G/XTC/download/J730GDXU5BRJ1/238833/
I flashed this ROM quite some time ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7-2017/development/cleannouga-romj730f-t3730638
I liked it but I thought about flashing back to stock but Odin (I use 3.12) always fails to write NAND and also freezes my phone to Download Mode whenever I attempt flashing the stock firmware. I searched a lot but nothing seemed to work. I haven't tried the methods used in older versions (e.g. 4.4) so someone might help me link to a working guide or who can help me in this thread.
This is an option that I don't know if it would work. I have a friend with a same but stock device and I plan on flashing TWRP on his phone to backup. Can I transfer that backup file and transfer and restore it on mine? Thanks!
Edit: I dunno if not flashing the latest firmware fails the flash but I'm will try the latest one in case the first one wasn't
Edit2: Okay so I flashed the newly downloaded one but it took too fast (around just 2 seconds) so it probably did not flash everything.

Good night
I suggest for You
1. Copy all files to SD
2. Enter stock recovery
3. Factory reset wipe all data
4. Download Odin
5. Install twrp
6. Flash custom ROM 8.1
7. I suggest Maef ROM or E dos
If this ROM runs perfectly
Alternate with custom or stock
Good luck

Thanks so much. I'd like it to be as stock as it can though so as I asked earlier, is it possible to restore a backup from another similar device? If not, then I'll do everything according to what you suggested..
