Hi guys,
In need of urgent help, I was following totallydubbed's tutorial on returning the phone to stock as I need a warranty repair.
I tried to flash XXEMA2 firmware for Optus off Sammobile.
Everything was okay until about 75% through the odin flashing process of the stock firmware then I got an error about something not being able to be written.
Now on boot it displays "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Doesn't connect to kies.
I can get into download mode.

What error message did you encounter exactly? If you cannot remember and you can get into download mode as you said, did you try to flash again?
I spoke too soon, after spending about half an trying to connect it to kies and reflashing it. All it took was a swap into a USB 3.0 port which reinstalled the drivers and it worked.. Took about a third of the time also.. Strange.

I have Korean Galaxy S2 (SHW-M250K). Last night i recieved an update message KI06 on kies. I started update.
But after downloading update in PC the update process stuck at 3% while flashing the phone. After an hour i removed cable and tried to do emergency update but it was still stuck at 3%.
I tried to flash KG5 with odin but it was also stuck at FSimage.I tried to download again.
Now my phone can go in download mode but PC cannot recogenize usb. and USB not recogenized message appear.
Please HElP what to do?
Is my phone bricked or there is some way to flash it.
Now my phone can go in download mode

Then you aren't bricked.
You'll need to reflash using Odin to what ever firmware you were using.
As long as you can access download mode you aren't bricked. It may be a little difficult to use odin if you never have.. But rest assured, you are not bricked.
I have ODIN mode on my phone but when i connect the USB cable to pc, my PC does not recogenize usb. and yellow pop up message of "USB not recogenized" appears. so i cannot flash it it with ODIN or Kies.
I have to solve this USB problem to proceed. Do you have any suggestion for this.

Ok
I am on my way to figure out driver problem.
But there is one more thing.
My orignal firmware was korean. But now after unsiccessfull Odin flash my Download mode Screen and "Firmware update failed" screen has changed to english version. Is there a possibility that Odin curropted my Phone modem .
Also one more thing.
I cannot charge my phone because whenever i connect usb or AC charger the computer and mobile icon with yellow mark appears.
modem has nothing to do with the language settings.
update may have changed the firmware, just go into settings, language and change it back.

Yes it can be changed but right now my phone cannot go past " Firmware upgrade encountered an error. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again" screen.
Also i cannot flash because windows is not detecting my Phone's modem correctly.
Windows does not need to see your modem to flash .
My orignal firmware was korean. But now after unsiccessfull Odin flash my Download mode Screen and "Firmware update failed" screen has changed to english version
Fairly simple answer you have flashed a non korean firmware .
What is this Odin mode on the phone is it Download mode ???
Stock Roms .and csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I wonder if you have the right instructions to follow ??Or are you flashing a wrong firmware .
Personally i would take to a service centre and tell them Kies broke it .
jje
Ammm, you are flashing an incompatible rom on your phone
You should refer to the [SHW-M250*] Korean Galaxy SII M250S / M250K / M250L Users thread for advice on your phone, the firmwares posted in the link above would not work.
Be careful man

I have read all of this forum. and i have korean firmware also. but many people have converted their korean firmware to english one.
But right now i have only one problem

Hi, I have a big problem. I had the 'Charging paused...' message popping up all the time so, iI decided to downgrade from ICS to Gingerbread. Sadly, I was flashin via odin and it failed leaving me with the 'Firmware upgrade encountered issue..' screen. Now I can get into download mode but neither odin nor windows will recognise the phone. I've got odin to recognise it a few times by fluke and tried to flash a new rom but it's failed. Now I can't get odin to recognise the phone at all. What should i do. Your help is much appreciated.
thanks

Yeah that means something happened during odin, did u have kies running? Try removing all traces of kies, then try again with odin, I ran into this exact same error with my s2 odin did a half flash because kies tried to connect during flash, if it doesnt work without kies then idk, my bet would be try removing all traces of kies ab then use odin, hope it works for u

I was trying to upgrade to 4.3 through kies (I9300XXUGMK6) on my dutch non-rooted I9300, however when downloading the firmware to my device it was stuck at 4% and rebooted. Now I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". Already tried that but it fails every time. I've also tried flashing the firmware with odin (like posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 ) but it also fails everytime.
I've tried to go in recovery mode (Volume up + home + power) but get the same firmware error message. Does anyone know how I can get my phone to work again?
---Fixed---
Used another cable and tried the emergency recovery again, this fixed it and updated it to android 4.3

Was the process stuck at downloading process or while flashing it? While the firmware is getting downloaded no flashing process is done.. Can you please explain it properly.. Have you tried emergency recovery?

It was stuck while downloading from the pc to my phone, and yes I have tried the emergency recovery but it will not download to my phone.
Update: I have found the solution, it was a faulty cable! That was why it was stuck on downloading. Thanks for asking the right questions!

Thanks for the help but I have found the problem. It was a faulty cable. I cannot provide any screenshots for future reference because I did not make any. But thanks for your help!

Hey guys,
i found an old S II between my stuff and I wanted to make it work again. The baterry is still working, however when I turn on the phone i got the message "Fimrware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.".
I tried several tutorials with odin but I couldn't get the phone into the recovery mode. Odin recognizes the phone but fails everytime at Nand Write.
Any suggestion to find out if there is a way to restore the phone?
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701
Or... you could try flashing CyanogenMod 12.1.
It sounds like you wanted to update it via Kies. Perhaps just try to connect it to your PC, launch Kies and see what's happening.
