Problem: I think I deleted my OS.
Here's what happened, i rooted my Samsung Note 10.1 using the clockwork mode with the super SU, then it went fine, I installed apps I got on net, then (after 4 months) i got a glitch wherein I cant copy/paste words, so I decided to reset to factory setting, then done. I thought of other way to root my tablet. I went to setting where it says Encrypt device, I started encrypting then interrupted it, when it rebooted it says that encryption interruped and I need to rest to factory setting then try to encrypt again, and asks to press the reset device, and I did. What happened is it keeps going back to encryption failure message and I keep on pressing reset device till it will only turn on with the SAMSUNG NOTE 10.1 Logo (the startup logo), then I tried installing clockwork mode again, and select wipe factory reset, and wipe cache partition and almsot all wiping option, so obviously i wiped my OS. I tried installing the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich following this guide on youtube Guide - How To_ Install Official Android Ice-cream Sandwich (cant post the link). When I followed it all it always failed in the end, and on my tablet it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again", and I cant connect to Kies and PC to do the firmware emergency recovery. Now I'm stuck in there and kind of thinks that I'm lost and totally broke my tablet. But still I can be in download mode.
Any brilliant answers guys. Thanks much in advance.
Back Up
Is a fast connection needed while installing the OS via Odin since it says Firmware Update Started?
And can anyone send me a links to download a functioning Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich OS, please.

So i decided to format system (Don't ask me why I honestly don't know ) and after i did whenever i reboot it it stays at the Samsung Galaxy S2 boot logo. I can't reinstall Miui because somehow it says it can't open it because of it's "bad". I also tried to wipe data/factory reset, which did nothing. Any help please? Oh and i was too stupid to have a nandroid
If you formated /system then you basically wiped your OS.
You shouldn't have wiped your data/factory, that could have been kept there if you stayed on MIUI...
You have to reflash a rom, doesn't matter which since you wiped everything.
Since you know this kind of information.Does it erase the recovery mode too.Do you know where i go about following the steps to reinstall the Os .I tried Odin and never booted to the Graphic user interface.It booted back to the charging symbol and no charge.The charge look red for a long time.I think it maybe a bad battery,software.Who knows what the heck happened.I was rooting my tablet and it went fine.Once i tried to install a software to install lingeage os.That is when it didn't want to reinstall any software to 100%.Sorry to confuse you.I tried getting advice and more info.
[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies..."
Originally my phone stopped working hours ago, applications were forced closed and i decided to force-shutdown my s2. Then i realised i could only enter recovery & download mode. I remembered setting my clock faster for -in game tokens per day- and i thought that was the problem. BUT i couldn't boot my phone. Saw videos on clockwork MOD and i tried with OBIN, but unexpectedly, it failed. As it failed, i couldn't do anything else so i removed USB and tried REBOOTING my phone. However, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" came up. I can't enter recovery mode now but only download mode. I've installed Kies on my computer but to no avail. Kies gave me error when i attempted to restore the mods settings using "Firmware upgrade and initialisation" and error was in korean so i did not understand. People stated that there are other ways using stock kernel but i can't obtain my stock kernel of my device as i couldn't even boot it up, let alone going into my phone's setting to check the stock kernel.
Any help? It seemed that i should've done a recovery instead of toying with OBIN and resulting in this. ANY WAYS TO UNDO THE FAILED OBIN MOD? Please, i would rather lose all my data without backup than to never ever start my phone again. Please reply ASAP! I want to restore EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THE FAILED OBIN AND MY MESSING OF THE TIME IN MY PHONE. It doesn't matter if i have to wipe out all my data.
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.
I have an SM-925A that has never been rooted or had custom rom installed and it is stuck on the at&t logo after a random reboot happened. Unfortunately there is data on the phone that needs to be recovered, specifically photos that were not backed up. I've had no success with getting this phone to boot back up. I'm more interested in recovery the data then fixing the phone.
Current Symptoms:
Phone boots
Shows Samsung logo
Shows white background with AT&T Logo that animates for a moment
Stays stuck on this screen indefinitely.
Attempted solutions:
Volume Down and Power button reset attempted multiple times with same result after reboot
Draining battery entirely until the phone shuts off, charging and then booting back up, same result
Wipe cache partition from android recovery (stock recovery)
Attempted to sideload teh 6.0.1 OTA update (SS-G925AUCU3BOJ9-to-U3CPD6-UP) , but the phone is already updated and i got this message:
"Package expects build fingerprint of samsung/zerolteuc/zerolteatt:5.1.1/LMY47X/G925AUCU3BOJ9:user/release-keys or samsung/zerolteuc/zerolteatt:6.0.1/MMB29K/G925AUCU3CPD6:user/release-keys; this device has samsung/zerolteuc/zerolteatt:6.0.1/MMB29k/G925AUC"
"E:Error in /sideload/package.zip"
"(Status 7)"
"Installation aborted"
Any suggestions on how to recover the photos on this device? Again fixing this device is not the issue, its recovering the photos.
Have you tried to connect to smart swich pc?
Sounds like stuck in a bootloop and the only fix is flashing stock firmware.
One thing to ask... did you use google photos? It should have them backed up if so?

No google photos was turned off for some reason. Can flashing stock firmware be done without wiping the data?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately not mate. As when device boots up you will have to set up as new phone or restore from backup. But as you said google photos was off.
Stock firmware will wipe everything.
Have you tried connecting to pc and opening as folders? Can you connect to pc with latest drivers?
Just got a new phone and rooted it. Then later was prompted that there was a firmware update for the phone. After, installing it, it gave a quick message saying something like the update failed. Then it booted into Android recovery system. Now whatever I do, I can't get out of this tab. I tried the "wipe out/factory reset" option as well but when I restarted the phone it still booted into the Android recovery tab. Anyone got a solution for this? :crying:
