Error: Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue...

I've searched google and XDA for a solution to this but so far can't find one.
I flashed the speed mod kernal and ever since i just get "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" when in upload mode.
When i reboot the phone i just get the samsung screen with the exclaimatino mark.
I tried flashing the stock rom again and get a fail (see attached)

did you try KIES Recovery?
Pull out your battery on your phone, . Re-install usb-drivers in Kies, reboot your computer.
Close everything related to Kies, also in toolbar trayagent and kies pdlr (right-click on windows toolbar). Put phone in downloadmode and try to reflash firmware with Odin.
Good luck
I've tried it in kies and my phone cannot be found. Just says connecting then no device found.

No, connect your phone to kies. In the topbar on the right next to help click and you`ll see something like usb drivers or connection problem, click on that and you can reinstall your drivers

Maybe a bad flash, dowload the rom again and try it again. The rest seems fine!
Re-extract the .tar from the .zip and try again. I ran into the same issue once; prior to re-downloading the firmware again I re-extracted the .tar, and all was golden. Good luck.
I re-downloaded the rom.
Stiil fail...
I can flash the kernal ok, but thats about it. Seems to be going wrong at the NAND write..
Uh oh...is this now an expensive piece of plastic?
Sorry mate, i don`t know what how to help you anymore. I suggest you go to a service center and ask for a software flash. Covered under warranty.
Good luck

[Q] Cannot enter recovery on sgs2!

While flashing Odin stuck at zImage... I disconnected the phone from PC. Now i cant enter neither the DL mode, nor recovery... Important thing that the PC still see the phone when connected (Odin too (yellow indicates)). i9100g. Can someone help?
If the flash stalled is it possible you were flashing an incompatible firmware for your phone? I9100G has different firmware yo the I9100/T.
Anyway, my suggestion is if uoi definitely can't get into download mode then maybe try using a jig to force it. But I suspect that may also not work.
You say the PC picks up the phone when you connect it. Does that mean it boots up?

No, the phone doesnt boot. Maybe i used bad cable for flash process... because i used different kind of usb-cable (not samsung). Is there any solution without jig?

Cable shouldn't be a problem. I've used many different ones without problem. Were you flashing the correct file for your model?
Edit: just checked the link and it is for i9100G.

Were you using the tar version? If so where did you put it in Odin and did you tick anything else (eg bootloader)?

Yeah should have been fine then. Can't see why download mode won't work because you haven't touched the bootloader. Maybe try removing then re-inserting the battery, then use the 3 buttons for download mode.

already tried... no effect. while flashing Odin stucked at zImage. after 30 min waiting i switched off the cable. Odin showed red message (fail)
Well if all else fails, next step may be a jig. It can be a pain if you don't have one but check in the general section. There is a thread about users (including myself) who are willing to help people who urgently need to use a jig. There are heaps of countries listed so if your lucky you may find someone close by who will help.

thx, i ll wait 4 some time. mb somebody showes another way to solve this sh*t)
OP, are you plugged directly into a USB port on the PC? Not through a keyboard pass-through, or a USB hub, or something similar? I've heard of stalled flashes because the person was not plugged directly into the PC.
The other thing, is to try a different USB cable. Faulty cables can also cause stalled flashes.

**** man! Something is not right. Flashing a kernel in download mode as pda shouldn't fully brick your phone. I've had plenty of bad flashes before but download mode always works. Other than retrying for download mode or jig, I'm out of ideas.

WHAT DOES RECOVERY HAVE TO DO WITH FLASHING???
You have other posts in this thread that imply you were able to try flashing again. If that's not the case, than I misinterpreted, and sorry I tried to troubleshoot your problem and suggest a course of action.
I'm sure you're frustrated, but that is no reason to snap at people trying to help you.

bricked i9100 help

Hi guys.
Tonight I did a data reset via the system settings menu within the OS so that all personal data can be wiped from the phone.
Shortly after I did this, the phone reset, then just started randomly flashing and not booting, occasionally pausing on a totally white screen.
I tried to enter into recovery mode with no luck, and had no luck with download mode either.
My USB jig worked and got me into download mode, and it now also lets me enter download mode via the 3 button method.
I figured I would just use odin to flash a new kernel/ROM, however the phone refuses to come up in odin and is no longer even recognised on my PC (unknown usb device).
I've tried installing and reinstalling drivers, different usb ports, different cable etc and nothing makes any difference.
Anyone have any clue what I can do about this?
PS. The phone was on rootbox rom (unsure of version) and I'm fairly certain it had siyah kernel.
sorry, posted in the wrong section.
please switch it over, mods
No recovery?
Sent from the little guy
What version were you running? GB, ICS or JB? Which kernel? Did you try to flash tar file? Repartition through Odin?
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
It was running ICS, unsure of exact version.
And I did not try to do anything with odin as the phone is not recognised at all any more, doesn't come up in odin..
and yes, I cannot access recovery mode at all via the 3 button method
Didn't it work with the jig?

You get unkown device when plugged in? delete that.
Install kies.
Already installed? uninstall it.
Re install.
just figured out the problem with it not recognising it via usb, it was a dodgy USB flex that I'd installed to fix a microphone problem (which eventually turned out to not be hardware related).
just swapped back the original board and hey presto, the damn thing is recognised in windows and in odin.
thanks for the help guys

[Q] Major issues all programs stopping!!!!

When I turned on my i9300 galaxy III phone last week it prompt me for an upgrade. I installed it and as soon as it booted again, every single app started to issue warnings about stopping. The phone cycles through all of these pop up warnings over and over again and never reaches the home screen.
What I have tried:
Plugged it to PC open Kies - drivers were not installed correctly, Kies didnt connect.
Ran troubleshooting (unplugged phone b4) connected phone again Kies didnt connect.
Restarted the phone in d/l mode --> wipe data/factory reset, this time the drivers were installed correctly but Kies didnt connect again.
Unplugged phone open Odin and it didnt recognize the phone either.
Tried 2 different cables switched USB ports and nothing!!
PC recognizes the phone but it wont let me see content in windows explorer.
Please help me, thanx in advance. :crying:

For ODIN to recognize the device you must first go into Download Mode and you need to shutdown the device first then do this hold home+vol down+then power button)
You don't need root to use ODIN though. If you want to revert to stock see the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 it's pretty straightforward anyway so i guess you won't do something unnecessary.
As you were upgrading legitimately, take it back to vendor or Samsung and get them to sort it

Yes I did that, I said that in my first post. I put the phone into d/l mode but Odin doesnt recognize the phone, that is my major issue here.
Neither Kies nor Odin recognizes the phone. PC installs drivers correctly and knows when its plugged in but thats about it
