I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 that, during an upgrade something went wrong and now will not boot up. It seems that the recovery is gone. It says on the screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I have tried the usual Odin procedures and they fail. And Kies will not connect for some reason.
I am at a loss on this one, I hope that someone out there has encountered the same issue and is willing to help me out.

Have an AT&T Galaxy Note II.
It was rooted and there were some strange problems happening with the phone from time to time so I decided to go ahead and unroot it.
As I have done before, I decided to restore the Galaxy Note II to its original firmware.
I got the AT&T SGH-I317 firmware from Sammobile.
Loaded Odin in Windows. Loaded the downloaded TAR file.
Upon hitting start the recovery would go about halfway then suddenly FAIL.
Tried it on a different computer. Same thing.
Now I cannot boot my phone. When I do, it goes into a firmware error mode and suggests KIES recovery.
KIES cannot even see my phone at this point.
Anyone have any suggestions? I am in the process of redownloading the firmware file, but I am guessing that is not the problem.
Thanks
I have a major problem. My Samsung Galaxy s III US cellular is stuck at a menu everytime I start it up. It says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. This hapend because I downloaded a an odin program and tried to downgrade my Phone from 4.3 to 4.1.1. Of course it failed and that is what happened. The next thing I tried to do was go into recovery mode but Kies 3 doesn't support my phone or it wont connect to it? Please I need help, any help will be so well appreciated and thanks to all the future help!
I tried to root my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 (SM-P600) and it failed in the middle of flashing. Now I cannot connect the device to Kies, nor can I even boot into recovery. I just get the Firmware upgrade encountered an issue screen. I can only get into download mode. Even so, I can't seem to flash anything. It keeps failing. I just want to get this thing working again. Help, please?
EDIT: Odin finally decided to work, my device works again. *sigh of relief* Can someone please delete this thread?
Hello all,
I purchased Samsung Galaxy s6 edge off of craigslist in attempt to repair this software issue.
It is verizon USA version model G925V
The phone powers up and Samsung screen comes up and it says Custom in the middle with an unlock sign which means that previous person tried to customize the software.
It keeps toggling between the same screen and wont boot up.
I am able to put it in download mode and recovery mode.
I have already wipes cache, have performed factory reset but no luck
I have tried to install original firmware via Odin but it says write failed after NAND Write in Odin.
Also tried to reflash the original PIT file but yet again it Odin says Failed.
Is there anything I can do with phone or it is completely gone?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
You could try kies emergency repair.
You can also try Smart Switch
Tryed rooting my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Edge Note SM-N915T but it failed on Odin using the CF Auto root, now I'm getting the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue " when ever I turn the phone on. I can get it into download mode. But its not showing up on Kies or Odin now, just keeps trying to connect on kies. I was going to try the firmware upgrade and initialization with kies, but there isn't a S/N on the back under the battery, just the IMEI number, tryed using it but says incorrect S/N. My question is it likely bricked or is there maybe some other things to try just to get it back to stock. I've tryed researching, but haven't found much on this model. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Managed to get it back up and running and rooted.
