I can't be with out my phone for 2 weeks. .. followed direction with Kies to upgrade my phone to JB... half way through it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode and try again... it doesn't work... I have tried everything I can.. can't get it to go into boot mode at all. when I hold down the volume and start and the warning screen comes up and then when I press up to continue it goes right back to the error screen. What can I do? I have also uninstalled kies.. Tried different ports.. different computers everything.:crying:

Does it boot into recovery mode?
Press Volume UP + Home + Power keys until recovery menu appears.
If yes, then try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache), fix permissions and reboot.
If that does not help, you may have to wipe data (do a factory reset).
If recovery mode does not work, then your phone seems to be semi-/soft- bricked.
You will have to get the phone connected to your PC in download mode to repair it.

Did you pull out the cable?
Did you pull out the battery? (Won't recommend it, wait till it dies then pull out)
If you did these things allready. Put the battery back, does it do anything? Or does it do anything when you try to recharge? If nothing (or only showing you the battery) you probably need a USB jig.
I tried to root my T Mobile Galaxy S2 using Odin method, and now i'm getting nothing but a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I would happily follow those directions, but now Kies won't recognize my device?!?!? I also can not get back into download mode. I have no idea what to do. Is there anyone out there that can help?
and why would you flash a t-mobile device with i9100 rom????
obvious mistake
now get a JIG and pray...
@tulip: download mode should work... just press the keys a little longer...
try to flash back your old firmeware + kernel... had the same problem yesterday but it worked. afterwards you can do a cwm back-up
This happened once before, when I tried updating my phone to ICS. Here's a little background info. I've got a SGH-i727 (AT&T GS 2 Skyrocket). I hook my phone up to Kies, which surprisingly recognizes my phone and says it has an update. I had 4.0.4 originally. I hit update and it downloads the update and while installing it gets stuck at 1% and freezes and eventually Kies says update failed.
Right now I'm stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I can't access download mode (volume up/and down and power button) or (volume up/down and connect usb cord when phone is off). Eventually both take me back to the Firware upgrade encountered screen, with the big yellow triangle that always shows up.
The last time this happened, when upgrading to ICS, by some miracle Kies actually recognized my soft-bricked phone and I was able to apply the recovery upgrade. But I can't for the life of me get Kies to recognize it this time. I've literally tried uninstalling and reinstalling and then restarting at every step in between.
I would use Odin software, but I have a mac. I really need help on this.
Apologies if this post is inappropriate for the forum, if so could I be directed to the correct place?
I recently flashed the latest CyanogenMod to my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100). However, after some tinkering I managed to make it unable to access the internet via WiFi or Mobile Data.
Unable to fix this after asking online I figured I'd just flash a stock ROM, and go back to square 1.
In flashing, something ****ed up. I did everything right AFAIK but mid flash the phone went to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen.
The device will now only boot to this screen, and I cannot access recovery mode.
I went immediately to Kies, plugged in my phone, intending to use the firmware recovery tool, however Kies does not recognise the phone. I went through the troubleshooting procedure, redownloaded the drivers (multiple times) and still no joy. I even uninstalled Kies and reinstalled. Following that, it now gives a "Device is not responding" error message.
I can't do a firmware recovery, I can't flash a new ROM until I can enter recovery mode, and I can't turn my phone on.
I hesitate to ask but... am I bricked?
Wat do?
Thanks in advance for any help.
