I think ive have tried every possible way to flash used every usb port and still cannot get my phone to flash on odin. Does anyone have any suggestions.
what ive done so far:
Used Odin3Excutionv1.81 (flashes SCH-I45 MDK Stock Restore)
Failed
Used Odin3Excution v1.81( flashes SCH-I545 MDK Kernel)
Successful
Used Odin 3.07v
Flashed Modem
Flashed Recovery
Flashed Kernel
These had to be run through odin a couple times before it would flash or pass.
Then after I tried to flash Stock Restore and that fails.
Im all out of options have, and have put many hours into getting nowwhere please if someone has any suggestions I would love to think that this isnt a 700 dollar paper i have sitting here.
When booting up I get a message that says," Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.(Tried that also)
Which version of the firmware were you on prior?

I installed the android update while rooted, I tried to flash back to stock. odin failed now im stuck on a screen that says firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
what do I do? how can I get back to stock? SCH i545
anyone? odin fails every time when trying to flash the stock firmware.
Once you install the me7 ota you cant go back to mdk. If you didnt protect root before installing via voodoo rootkeeper youre going to lose root as well. If you flash the me7 update through odin you should be good to go. This issue has been covered a dozen times or more. Some searching and browsing goes a long way.:thumbup:

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4. Today I rooted it. It all went fine, but I wanted to install a custom recovery. I followed a tutorial online, which lead me to downloading the Goo manager, and installing TWRP via that. I rebooted, and it went straight into download mode. It would not leave download mode, it continuously loops back to that. I connected it up to Odin, and downloaded the stock firmware to flash. The progress bar came up, loaded for a few minutes. Then, I got a big FAIL message. (Using 3.04). Now, its still in DL mode, but it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Tried flashing the stock firmware again, but keeps failing. Tried different USB ports, but keeps failing. Any suggestions?
Try flashing another recovery via odin

On it.
It happened to me with my s3, installed twrp with goo and I had no recovery. Flashed a different recovery with Odin and all was sweet, Hope you fix it.

Can't find a tar file flashable via Odin. All I can find is the Loki method, which I cannot do because I'm stuck in DL mode. Waiting on a download of a different stock firmware.
Dont think there is any recoveries flashable via odin. Were you on me7 by chance?

Nope.
Turn your phone all the way off and then use the button combo for odin, decline and it should boot. DoubleCheck your firmware version because what youre describing is what happens when you flash a recovery on me7, which you cant.

Didn't work. Went right back into DL mode after I declined.

Not a problem. Yep youre on the me7 firmware like I thought. Im guessing your trying to flash the mdk firmware thru odin? Me7 wont let you flash anything prior is why youre getting the errors. Youll have to download the me7 odin file (in dev section) and flash again. Once you get your phone booted again you cant flash a custom recovery or else itll do the same again. Theres a few people working on unlocking/bypassing the bootloader so hopefully it wont be much longer until me7 has custom recovery.

I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 ME7 build that has been rooted with Safestrap and working fine. Today I wanted to unroot it, so I used Odin v. 3.07 to flash this file: I545VRUAME7_I545VZWAME7_I545VRUAME7_HOME.tar.md5. This failed in Odin (attached is screenshot of Odin dialog). I took out the battery and tried to turn the phone back on, and got the download screen with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". Unfortunately, I did all of this before uninstalling safestrap and I don't know if that's the issue. I can still get into Odin mode, but don't know what to do from here. Please help! Thanks!
U can't flash through Odin in me7 that's the whole reason safestrap is on our phones to begin with

So, is there any way to fix this?
Have you tried the "no-wipe" recovery image? I believe there is one available for your build.

The image I tried to flash via Odin was no-wipe, but I don't know how to flash it if I shouldn't use Odin...Are there any options for me to get my phone functional again??

SOLVED: I don't know what I did differently, but after trying for the millionth time, I got past Odin mode and my phone rebooted.
I installed a rom, got into a bootloop that wasn't working. I attempted to use odin to flash to factory, but now I get the "firmware upgrade issue" screen when powering on or recovery mode. I can get into download mode, but I keep getting fail when I try to get back to stock. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it since I just got my note yesterday and want to get it working again (even on stock.)
note: I read for at least 2 hours and tried almost everything. My drivers are installed. New usb cord/port. Reboot computer etc.

Need more info to be able to help....what firmware were you are before you flashed via Odin? We you rooted? Did you have custom recovery installed? What firmware version did you attempt to flash with Odin?
I was on the stock 4.3 firmware, rooted the phone via odin, everything went smoothly. Then I downloaded a rom for sprint note 3, when I rebooted (cleared cache and factory wipe) the samsung logo just kept popping up and rebooting. I was using clockworkmod, but now when I try to access it I just get the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue." ODIN just keeps failing no matter what I try. I am trying the latest N900P stock firmware.
is it time to throw in the towel and see if Asurion can get it replaced? or at this point is it fixable?

I realized that I am an idiot and was using a different model number and downloaded MJ4, worked like a charm. But now I want to get to the root of the issue (pun intended.) Why did the rom I used start the bootloop that was not fixed by clearing the cache and factory wipe? I found it right here on the sprint note 3 section of XDA. It was the MINIMUS rom.
Ok, been away from the note 2 for a min. Anyone want to give me the low down on all this 4.3 stuff? I'm seeing roms say that MJ9 has to be flashed in Odin before a the rom can be flashed? Is this a one time deal or does it have to be done every time I want to flash a tw rom? Do I have to do anything to go back to an aosp rom? I'm sure I could figure all this out on my own but I'm impatient. Lol. TIA

You have to flash MJ9 firmware that has the tz, params and modem in it.. This allows wifi to work.. then flash away! Just do not flash MJ9 official OS KIES bc you'll lock your bootloader..
Once your done flashing the firmware you can flash in between roms no problem doesn't matter what version,4.1.2, 4.3 or aosp 4.4.2:good:

Alright, got one more question. So I thought I had bricked my phone last night. Accidentally flashed an S4 stock rom. I know, dumb. Anyway, after 3 hours of trying to Odin multiple stock roms, I finally got one to take and the phone booted. So I immediately went and used casual to root the device. Everything went fine there. I went ahead and updated TWRP to the latest and proceeded to flash aokp. It locked up at the boot animation. So I then tried to flash a 4.1.2 tw rom. This is where it got weird. It flashed fine but then it never booted. Just a black screen after the Samsung splash screen. I then decided to try and Odin a rooted 4.1.3 rom. Still nothing. So last ditch effort I odin'd the pit file. Back in business on an unrooted tw rom. Now when I try to use casual, it won't download the proper driver to root again. Gives a perpetual error and requests the driver be installed over and over until I pull the USB cable. Is there something I'm missing?

Try this. With the phone booted, go into device manager on your computer and uninstall the driver. Then boot the phone into download mode and uninstall the driver for it in device manager. Boot phone back up and try casual again. Also make sure your Antivirus is off before you run casual.
