Hello Admin,
28 hours earlier I was a complete noob for using Samsung S III. I had connected my device to laptop for upgrading using KIES. Everything was going on normal and my laptop went in sleep mode. When I checked in so it stated that an error has occurred and firmware upgrade failed. And further told to upgrade using recovery mode. Since then I have been trying to enter in recovery mode. Have tried all the given options of entering in Recovery Mode but not successful till now.
It goes in Download Mode and no response nothing happens even if I keep it the same way for 7 hours.
In Download mode screen displays the information below.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS OFFICIAL
Using Kies is the same issue. There's no response even after hours.
Downloaded a 724 MB zip file for ODIN flash and tried that but even then same.
Only one screen: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again
I just need my Phone Contact Numbers. I am ready to reset the to factory settings if I can get those.
Had been trying to solve it since then. Have searched every site every possible forum. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Open kies.
On the Taskbar select tools and then firmware upgrade and initialisation.
Enter the model name in caps. Ie GT-I9300 and hit ok.
Then enter the serial number written under the battery.
Then do as it says on the pc screen and put your phone in download mode.
Then Flash.

Firstly thank you for your co-operation.
I have tried that. It states all date will be permanently deleted. Actually I need the contact numbers which are saved in phone and as I have told I didn't make any backup of them.
Thanks.

Username and password? It's the same you used to sign into your phone when you set it up.
There is no Other way. I'm pretty sure you have lost them unless you remember your login details

I'm not an admin but glad to be of some help.
Problem with phones being a so much pay off or lives is they run the risk of losing the data we use them for. Just a shame you're laptop went into sleep whike a firmware update was going on.

Wiped out my cellphone.. now when I turned on it requieres an activation.. I'm trying to flash it so I can use the wifi only. It says "press send to activate your phone" I've tried to use the Odin Multi Downloader v4.43 to flash the ROM I tried several of them(geewiz-2.9-system-09272012.tar and eh03_full_odin.tar) both of them give the same error message which says Unnamed File was not found...I totally lost now I just don't know what else to do.
Please help if you can...Thank you!
To bypass activation screen, go to emergency call, press *#83786633.
Then press the home key and it should bypass it. I think you need to do this after every reboot.

I got passed the Activation screen, now what to do about the Odin I tried to flash the phone using the Odin Multi Downloader v4.43
and I used those two ROM images I tried several of them(geewiz-2.9-system-09272012.tar and eh03_full_odin.tar)
both of them give the same error message which says Unnamed File was not found...am I using the right downloader? what is it giving me this error message? do you know a better way?
Thanks!
Is there a difference between Odin Multi Downloader and regular Odin? Why don't you try Odin 1.85 and see if that works. I'm a noobie too so I'm not sure if I can help.

That would be a quick fix if I could get to the dialpad, the screen is black with picture of a phone, yellow sign and computer because I was in the middle of imaging the phone when it failed the process thats all it has every time I turn it on and nothing else. I try to use different USB cable in different computers and no luck and none of those systems would detect the phone. My question was if there is a way to use the SD card to do the reimage instead of the USB and if there it is not, this phone will be absolute and I'm sure you gurus in here have a way to fix my problem.
Thank you!
Pull the battery
hold down volume down button

My Galaxy SIII is dead.. 4 weeks ago It randomly went to the Splash screen about 5 minutes after me using it, for some unknown reason and hasnt worked since, the eBay app kept crashing a few days before and then i updated the app, the next day my phone broke?!?!..
Phone is about 4months old and the screen has a small crack at the bottom (did this a week after i got it and doesn't affect phone) i sent my phone off for repairs but o2 sent it back and said warranty is void because the screen is broke.. So they won't touch it.
I have no knowledge of flash and firmware however after doing a bit of research this last week i've downloaded Odin3 but no flash/firmware to go with!
The phone no longer powers on, it used to just go to the splash screen but freeze, now it wont even do that.
I can open download mode, but when i plug my phone into my laptop although it makes the connection sound, Kie's can't connect it will only attempt to connect (& fail) when it's in download mode too.. I've re-downloaded the samsung usb drivers, but no joy.
When i charge it, the battery loading symbol comes up but again it freezes at this?
I've tried recovery mode but it will only load the splash screen, then thats it, it freezes on that...
Any ideas? Does anyone know the o2 united kingdom flash firmware?

If you can get into download mode make sure to turn off kies, also check the task manager, as it does not play well with odin, or just uninstall kies as odin its better anyway. You can find all firmware on sammobile.com, give it a try.

I've tried looking on sammobile but no idea how to find the right software i'm looking for.. I don't know how to use the sight, when i've connected to Odin3, my phone is connecting to it (download mode only) so assuming it means i still have hope? I have made sure that kies is completely disconnected before hand as i've read about that before,

On sammobile.com go to firmware and there you got several filters that you can use to see for instance all UK o2 firmwares.

Have phone off and hold vol-down and power button together until you see a warning screen then release buttons and then push on the vol-up button to go to download mode.
I think you do not need to push the home button down with the other two..as all the mega 6.3 i know of only need the vol-down + power button to be used..unless the i527 is different and needs the home button with the other two.

good job.... now we can play more with our devices and always come back to kies....
thank you to all for this great message. i was able to connect my i527 to Kies and it got recognized right away. And then Kies asked if I wanted to update the phone. After clicking a few "OK" the update update went on by itself. No need to go into download mode or anything. The process takes roughly 40 minutes and then I just rooted the phone again with Kingo.
A side note: Kies would not start on my Win 7 64 bit computer initially. Searched around and found out it's a common issue, and I just need to repair the .net framework 4.0. After that all is dandy.

Turns out I was entering the IMEI #.
For some reason Metro Put on the receipt that that was the serial #.
The only way to get the true serial # is when you go to the about phone info.
My phone isn't working, so I input the serial to my Galaxy Note.
Got a step closer, but i gto hit back with a message saying that this model is not suported.
So this time I put the model SGH-I527 which my phone was flashed to anyways and I entered the Serial # to my Note and BAM!
I will let you know how it went since right now its still downloading from Samsung servers. :fingers-crossed:

I just want to be clear on the state of the phone. Does it have any charge left? Can you access the download screen? If you can access the download screen you can just use Odin to flash your original ROM back.
(Hold power button and volume down button at the same time until the phone vibrates. Then let go of the power button but keep holding the volume down until the download screen pops up.)

Any luck? If so I just had a thought.
My phone the I717R (Rogers) in Canada can't use Samsung Kies to restore the phone.
However if your phone is the ATT version and it can enter download mode you should be able to use Samsung Kies to restore to factory settings.
You'll just need to enter firmware upgrade and initialization I'm pretty sure it's called. Then you'll type in the model and serial number found under the battery and Kies will do the rest.

Did you install Samsung KIES first? It should automatically install the driver you need.
Also when you put it in to download mode do it while the phone is unplugged, then plug the phone in.
Let us know what happens, sure we'll figure it out.

Try this link.
That's from the Samsung site for the I717 driver only. See if your computer picks up your phone after installing that.
If that doesn't work you may just want to use ODIN. I'll tell you everything you'd need to know to do that just don't have time ATM.
Have you tried another USB port and or cable?

that sucks, sorry to hear that. i would start fresh and uninstall the sammy drivers reboot the comp afterwards, reinstall drivers reboot once again, put the device into download with out firing up odin and see if that will help. I've noticed this device can be a bit finicky when it comes to drivers or maybe we are a few of the unlucky ones lol. I too have been having drivers issues lately regarding mtp and its been driving me nuts.
Hello,
today, I tried to root my S6 Edge but failed completely. On top of that, I was dumb enough to just close Odin, so I can't tell you what it said. I also forgot to enable USB debugging and disable verify app (to be honest I just couldn't find this on my device).
My problem:
My device only shows the "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". This is all it will do. I can't go back in download mode nor am I able to switch it off.
Part 2 of my problem is, that Smart Switch tells me, that my phone is not supported. I did a backup of my data before trying to root my device and at that time everything worked perfectly fine.
I hope you can help me despite the lack of clear information.
Thank you so far,

today, I tried to root my S6 Edge but failed completely. On top of that, I was dumb enough to just close Odin, so I can't tell you what it said. I also forgot to enable USB debugging and disable verify app (to be honest I just couldn't find this on my device).
My problem:
My device only shows the "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". This is all it will do. I can't go back in download mode nor am I able to switch it off.
Part 2 of my problem is, that Smart Switch tells me, that my phone is not supported. I did a backup of my data before trying to root my device and at that time everything worked perfectly fine.
I hope you can help me despite the lack of clear information.
Thank you so far,
enya

Try to press and hold the power button until the device turns off then go to download mode to flash back to stock.

Thank you so far! But now I have another problem: My phone doesn't start properly. It tries to start, shows the "Galaxy S6 Edge"-thing and then the Samsung-logo, but at that point it stops and starts again with the "Galaxy S6 Edge"-Screen. Do have a solution for that as well?
Okay, I think, I fixed this. My device seems to work normally again. Thanks a million, man!

Hi, I have S6 Edge (SM-G925I). I have mistakenly bricked my device. It is running on Android 5.1.1. I tried rooting my device with CF-Auto Root. and since then i had this error on on the top left corner of my boot screen it is written in red and it says "Recovery is not seanandroid enforcing". i was really annoyed by this and tried to get back to my Stock ROM via Smart Switch. Unfortunately it failed. since then i am not able to enter recovery mode. Every time I try by pressing the 3 buttons, it shows up on a Cyan screen with this written "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software". following that whenever i run Smart Switch it says that my device is not supported. I went through many sites over the internet however none solved my problems. i'm desperate for help. Please help me

I tried that, but I always end up getting an error on Odin. It says FAIL. I spent hours downloading the correct Roms for my phone that is the G925I ROM from many different sites. All of them ended up with a big FAIL.
