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!

Help!! My SGS2 is stuck on a screen with an orange triangle and excmamation mark between a cellphone and computer after a ROM flash attempt!
I can go to Downloading mode and Odin can detect my smartphone but i don't know what else to do...
Flash a full (different to whatever you were trying) ROM, problem solved.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yep, that's just a soft brick.
since you can access DL mode, just reflash with odin and normally problem solved
Haaa, thx all i fixed it! ^^
It took me 5 hours to find out what i had to do and find the stock Firmware tho...
But all fine now
Hello,
I've got the same problem but it seems I can't go into download mode. What am I doing wrong? What else can I try?
My SGS2 is not rooted and was on Android 2.3.3. Kies told me there was an update available to android 2.3.4 so I went for it.
But I'm really disappointed, now my phone is completety stuck on this screen with the phone...orange triangle with exclamation mark (warning)...PC.
EDIT : Samsung Kies proposes to do an emergency recovery, but in the end it also fails.
Fortunately, I took a screenshot before upgrading. See attachment.
Please help me.
kind regards,
Andrew

If your phone is not rooted, you still have your warranty, bring it back to the shop and ask for a new one
I bought it an amazon. But I'd prefer to have a solution right now instead of having to complain.
I continued my quest on the net... Apparently, a usb jig might take me out of this screen and back to the download mode. Can somebody confirm this?

One minus Did you follow the Kies recovery instructions .
One turn off and remove battery for a short period .
Two turn on
Three try recovery mode
Four try download mode ..
Five yes USB jig may enable you to get to download mode and from that you can flash a stock Samsung rom .
Six service centre

Thanks JJEgan. I'll try once more and let you know. Assuming that I am able to get in download mode, why should I use a stock kernel and not the normal firmware I had before? Sorry about my question, but this is all new for me.
A USB Jig should be standard equipment for anybody who flashes their Galaxy phone, IMO.

Download Odin, download stock ROM, use Windows Task Manager to kill any Kies-related processes. Then turn off the phone, turn it back on in download mode and flash using Odin. Do not tick repartition and do not use the PIT file if the stock ROM comes with one.
Hi,
Thanks to this forum I managed to bring my SGS2 alive again step by step after that Kies broke it during the android upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4... Moreover, I am in the official 2.3.4 version now without using Kies!! ;-) Here's my story:
In the end, I was able leave the screen with the "phone..orange warning triangle..computer". and I was able to go in download mode without a usb jig. You have to press the 3 keys (volume down, home, and power on) quite a few seconds without releasing them. And then the download warning menu appears, press volume up to confirm that you want go go in download mode. And I was in "download mode'. Anyway, I will buy a jig ;-)
I tried once more the emergency recovery with samsung Kies without success. Failed.
Then with Odin I had problem. It was stuck at step "setup connection". Kies was not running and was not visible in the system tray. Though in the task manager, I still had 2 Kies* processes. Kiestrayagent.exe and another one starting with Kies and 4 letters (sorry I didn't write it down). I killed both processes. One step further... Then Odin was stuck on step complete(write) operation failed. Never found why. I tried several times, battery in and out again, without success. This was on a Win7 32bit. Latest Kies version.
In the end I installed Odin on another PC Win7 64bits. I had to install Kies also on it otherwise Win7 says "no driver found" when you plug in the usb cable of the SGS2. And on this computer, flashing with Odin worked perfectly.
Thanks again to all people who helped me + also thanks to this super forum where I could find the official firmware I needed after that Kies broke down my phone.

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

Baseband: E120L.EL.0843LT
with the following problems:
- I can' t connect to a network
- I can't enter download mode.
I tried:
- upgrade via Kies: get your device does not support uipgrade via Kies
firmware version: E120LKRFB05/E120LKRFB05/E120LKREL21/E120LKREL21 (LGT)
- usb dongel to enter download mode: doesn't work
- when I connect the usb cable; and do the 3 button procedure when the green battery appears, then I can enter download mode, but the screen turns blank aftyer 2 seconds. I can see in Odin that the USB port is detetected but flashing results in an error (see pic1)
- I tried adb shell reboot download. This results in the download mode, but disapears after 2 seconds.
- I tried to root the device via DooMLoRD tootlkit but this results in an error:
failed to copy 'files\Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/./Superuser.apk': Read-only file system
I'd would like to be able to
- flash new firmware
and/or
- root the phone and so I can restore an efs.img file on the sdcard.
Can someone help me please?

Dude... he has an SII HD LTE. (E120L) Which has different CPU/SoC/GPU than the I9100.
I am about 95% certain I9100 firmwares will NOT WORK on his phone, and may, in fact, make his situation worse.

First off, do NOT follow that guy's advice above, unless you want to brick your phone.
Second, try reading/searching this thread. I myself did a quick perusal of it and found that someone in it mentioned that they were able to root their E120L or S by flashing Tegrak kernel. Search around for it.
@vdbergh, sorry, I noticed you already posted in that other thread.
About your issue; are you plugged into a mainboard USB port on your computer? Using a USB hub or keyboard passthrough can cause issues. Have you tried different cables? It could be a bad cable.

ctomgee, thanks for the effort to try to help me!
I am connected to the main USB port of my computer. I also changed the cable. Result is the same.
I think something is wrong with the firmware. Here's the history.
I had a perfectly good working phone. Then I wanted to flash the TL1.3. Something went wrong in that process and stupid me, I reseted the phone. Since then the phone was bricked. I tried everything but no success.
I sent the phonbe for JTAG repair. They manage to reanimate the phone, but it was impossible to get a network. All the est worked fine but I could't make phonecalls.
When I started Kies, it said to upgrade the firmware. The kernel upgrade went fine but the baseband upgrate got an error. I had the posibility to do an emergency recovery in Kies, but as soon as I start that, Kies doesn't recognice the phone.
Flashing new firmware via Odin doesn't work eiter.
The only small possibility I see is to restore a backup efs.img I found. But to do that the phone needs to be rooted. I can't do that via Odin so I tried the DooMLoRD tootlkit to root the phone. This doesn't work because I get an error that the filesystem is Read-Only.
Maybe I could root or upgrade the firmware via the recovery mode (apply update from sdcard option)?
So I'm very desperate now. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I would get the latest firmware available via CheckFUS. (if you don't know what that is, just google it) Then flash it via Odin. Let's start there.
Use gingerbreak in my signature, it doesnt even need a computer, just put it on your sd and install it, then let it do it's magic

The checkFus didn't work. ( the SHV-E120L (SII HD LTE) is not in the list).
I tried the Gingerbreak, but I do't think the E120L is supported yet. It run's for ever without rooting the phone

My apologies... I didn't double check to see if the E120L was in Check FUS. Hmm. I'm not sure where you can get stock firmwares for the SHV-E120 series, unfortunately. (at least, on English language websites) Sorry dude, wish I could be of more help.

I manage to root the phone by flashing the Tegrak-Kernel-Build-33-for-SHV-E120L-FB05.recovery.tar and installing the zip file in recovery mode.
I still can't connect to a network and I can't flash new firmware. All the flashing ends with an error that the NAND or amss.bin can't be writen to the phone.
Someoine has an idea what I can try now?

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've got a Note 1 I'm trying to fix for a friend. He said he tried to update the phone and now he's stuck on
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
When I connect to Kies, it never connects. Odin does recognize the device but I have no files available. Im just trying to just trying to restore to stock. All the links for files are dead. Anyone have any good active links for files for this thing?
