Hi,
In january I upgarded from 4.1.2 to 4.3 via Kies.
it was OK but as you know this upgrade brings issue with the battery, and a lot of lags.
So I downgraded via ODIN.
The first time it was OK, but I realized I downgraded to 4.1.1 instead of 4.1.2.
So I downloaded the official ROM in 4.1.2, I don't know what happened but it failed, and now I see "unsupported version" displayed in the downloading mode.
When I try to reboot, I see:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies..."
but Kies does not recognize anymore my mobile phone!
i don't have access anymore to the recovery mode (VOLUME UP+..), only the download mode (VOLUME DOWN...)
Note that I have tried:
1) with 2 different USB cables
2) 3 different PCs
3) 2 versions of ODIN (3.04 then 1.85)
4) I9305XXBME3_I9305XEFBMG2_I9305XXBME1_HOME.tar
5) I9305XXBME3_I9305BOGBME1_I9305XXBME1_HOME.tar
6) I9305XXBMB3_I9305BOGBMA1_I9305XXBMA2_HOME.tar
Here is the ODIN error message:

that's strange, I was able to recover my phone by deploying this ROM from sammobile
I9305XXUEMKC_I9305BOGEMJ1
I's 4.3.
So other ROMs (4.1.1 and 4.1.2) fail with ODIN, while I was able to download at least one of them 2 days ago. No idea why a ROM is working one day, and not another day...
The best thing is I do not see the lag anymore, nor the issue with the battery!!
While this is a known issue with 4.3 and S3.
I will wait few days to be sure all issues are fixed, if it is the case no need anymore to downgrade to 4.1.2.
thanks,
Rod

well, okay first of all.. i think your phone is ROOTED that's why you cannot receive any firmware updates and you cannot connect to Kies.
so what you need to do is to download a firmware over at sammobile.com and then unzip the file, you will then get a .tar file.. you then use odin. connect your phone while it is on download mode and check if odin recognizes your phone. in PDA, click on the .tar that you had from the extraction then click on start.
your flash via odin may be a result from an incomplete download.
cheers

Hey Guys thanks for the reply... I am not sure what firmware to donwload... I am located in latin america Costa Rica, Carrier ICE... I just need an unlocked phone. I am able to get in to Download. And I also try to download the original stock firmware but when I put it in PDA I get an FAIL. I am not sure if its the correct firmware... can Someone please help me with that I really appreciate all of the help! Really!
Also when I go to Kievs and type update the firwmare I put the serial number and the model and I accept the agreement and then I get a pop message, saying something in Japan or chinese I dont know what it says but I soon as I click ok... it closes the update
Bump!
On connecting your phone to KIES, does it install the phone drivers?
Also, ensure you're installing a firmware for your own device. ie. not installing i9100G firmware on an international i9100 /P/M/T. or vice versa.
Next make sure your phone has adequate charge before going into download mode. Even if its soft-bricked, it will still charge.
Also, connect your phone to a USB port directly on the computer. Not via a hub or a USB port on your keyboard or something.

If u want to use Odin than uninstall kies is a must as its tsr program will interrupt Odin processes. U just need to download correct & match firmware from samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com, then repeat the flashing but just use Odin v1.85 as its most compatible w/ s2. Don't tick anything else from Odin before click start button except auto reboot, one packages & PDA section (browse ur firmware file). & Odin doesn't care if ur phone rooted or unrooted. It will does a full wipe if u flash a f/w by Odin, so rooted phone will lost its root.

Hello everyone,
I am not sure whether this is the right place for my question but my Galaxy S II stopped working and I was wondering if anyone might help me?
I tried updating the FW from 2.3 to 4.0 (I'm guessing) through Kies and after about 45 minutes of seeing both screens (PC and Phone) unchanged, I ended up removing the phone. Next, Kies suggested an "Emergency Firmware thingy" (it said it in German so I wouldn't really know how to translate it). Tried again, after 45 minutes gave up once more.
Since then, I downloaded ODIN and tried to follow instructions I found online to flash it (first I tried with Ice-Cream, then with Gingerbread).
Ever since I removed it from Kies, it would only show a phone connected to a PC with a yellow warning triangle in the middle. Whenevery I use the Volume-Menu-Power button, the warning on changing the OS appears and then, when I press "volume up", it shows the green android in the middle and tells me it's downloading and not to turn off the device, though there is no downloading progress.
When I try with ODIN, ODIN recognizes the device on both USB ports - I found md5 files for Germany but every time I start it the Message window says:

and doesn'tget any farther than "cache.img".
I am at a complete loss as to what to do or try. I have had this phone for a year now, this is the first time I tried to update with Kies - the phone had not been rooted or anything else. The phone has no simlock (I don't know if any other information is relevant).
Any ideas or has my phone thus become the infamous brick? *pleasenopleasenopleaseno*
Thanks in advance for your time and patience - in case I've overread a thread with this exact same problems, I apologize and would appreciate if someone could re-direct me. I've already spent so much time looking for solutions, my concentration may have suffered.
Best wishes,
Junivere
Before flashing with Odin, did you kill all Kies processes from Windows task manager? If not, do that and then start flash.
Edit: And since you can access download mode, its not bricked...so you can relax

Flash JB.
And try an older ODIN version.
And check kies like the above poster suggested.
Other usb port/usb cable might do the work too.

Thanks for the replies!!!
I stopped all the Kies processes over the task manager before (was that enough?) and tried from both USB ports of my laptop (006 and 007 I guess) with equal results.
I used Odin3 v1.85 - is that too old or too new? Which version should I try?
And I am sooooooooo relieved it's not a brick!!!
Thanks again!
kinda old, try 1.3 or 3.x
And flash siyah v5 just for kicks.
Sent from the little guy
I tried again and I'll try to explain step by step, ok? Maybe you notice something I did wrong?
I killed all the Kies processes in the task manager like before.
I downloaded Odin 3 v.07 and started it. I had "Auto reboot" and "F.Reset time" checked and clicked on "PDA" to add the *.md5 file with the firmware.
I started the phone in the download mode and connected it to the PC, Odin recognized it alright.
I started and the first time, with the USB port in front, it stopped at "cache.img" in the message window.
I tried a different FW file and the other USB port further back and for the first time the phone shows a tiny bit of blue in the progress underneath "Downloading..." but in Odin it is now stuck at "factoryfs.img" for the last ten minutes,
The entire message window says this:

Ok, so the Sivyah v5 flash worked when I tried Odin3 v1.3 but I'm still battling with the actual firmware.
Thanks for your help so far, though - I'm really greatful and I'll keep trying.
My mission for today will be finding someone's cable and PC to borrow...
I'll keep you posted, though!
Wow, you are the bestest ever!!!
With a netbook (OS Windows 7) I eventually managed the flash - now I'm reconfiguring everything. I am sooooo relieved!!!!
I have one last question (sorry for being so naive!), though:
Is it still possible with a flashed phone (with the Sivya thing on it) to use Kies to try and update or do automatic updates or do I have to flash all the newer firmware?
Best wishes,
Junivere

Depends on what ROM you are flashing.
For instance, if you flash LS8 you'll get a 22 mb update to get you to LSD.
I would flash LSD straight up tho.
If you don't want a headache with odin no more, feel free to try Mobile Odin, it will perform all the flashing for you.

I rooted my phone about 1.5 years ago when I got it. I remember I installed a custom ROM (can't remember which right now for sure - possibly omega?) and kernel (siyah) .. I'm not sure if that matters? I know I had clockworkmod installed.
Phone's worked fine for ages. Today it randomly crashed playing a youtube video and got stuck in a boot loop. On a couple of occasions it came up with a welcome/start screen as if it was a brand new stock s3 but then booted again.
It kept coming up with the b&w samsung galaxy s3. That's it, it'd sometimes turn off and on, same thing again.
I can't get it to go into recovery mode. It happened once or twice very briefly, but then just rebooted again.
I got it in download mode. I tried recovering using KIES but it failed. Tried using ODIN and a stock s3 ROM and it failed. Tried using ODIN with a "nowipe" root ROM and odin hung.
Now if I try to turn it on without download mode it just says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Can anyone give me any suggestions/help? Am I screwed, is it permanently bricked?

have a look here, maybe same challenge you are facing (I just flew over the thread).
I tried a few other things since.
Using Odin I tried flashing a stock ROM, after ending the Kies process and using a different USB. It all said it had worked, gave me a boot screen and said android is upgrading - optimising apps. It hung doing this at 10 of 70 or something. I tried resetting and it hung at 5 of 70, and when i reset again it just wouldn't get past that.
Tried flashing with a more recent stock ROM using Odin 1.3 as above, but it hung at system.img
Tried flashing with the more recent stock ROM using the latest Odin. The blue bar counted right up to full on my screen, then the phone reset.
It was sitting with the little 3d android character with the spinning 3d mesh sphere in his stomach. A blue line started counting up but has frozen about maybe 25% of the way along. After a short while Odin said PASS! and it all seems to have completed according to Odin
The android graphic was still spinning but nothing else was happening, the blue line would not progress any further.
After a few minutes the phone screen went black, and came up with the black and white Samsung Galaxy SIII screen for a second or so. Then it just went black again.
Here is the Odin log

When I turn it on now the same thing happens - the black and white Samsung Galaxy SIII screen comes on for a second or so and then the screen goes black.
If I try and put it in recovery mode the same thing happens. If I try to put it in download mode, that works.
Am I right in thinking I still have a hope to save it here since Odin still sees it? What do I try now? :/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
this is the only other suggestion I've found so far and it seems quite scary!
Flash a full stock rom using latest odin, immediately boot into recovery and factory reset.
Because you left the phone for so long on a firmware that was not SDS safe you may have nand memory damage, even if the file structure is still intact.

I tried doing a full flash again with the older stock firmware I started with. Got right through the whole process again, says it passed and it hung at the Android guy with the spinning mesh sphere.
I've never managed to get it into recovery mode since i got it in clockwork recovery mode a couple of occasions last night and it reset each time
Any suggestions as to what I could try to get it past this stage?
If it looks like I have nand memory damage would it be worth trying what's in that "scary" link i posted? :/
I tried flashing again to see if I could instantly get it into recovery and it failed for the first time

I'm guessing this is a nand issue then? Is my only option at that point the link above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030) ?
really don't get it.. tried it again and this time the whole process passed according to odin
same again though, android guy with spinning mesh... nothing for a while
phone eventually goes black, resets, samsung galaxy s3 in black and white. goes black. if i leave it for a while that screen will come up again, then it'll go black etc.
do i bite the bullet and try that method that involves nand reset all? please advise i'm in a bit of a pickle here as i'm in the middle of interviewing for jobs so i could use my phone.. do need to try and fix this asap if i can...
You can try flashing the rescue firmware, search in general forum, but if that doesn't work then you need a new motherboard.

I tried to boot into recovery menu to look at something but that failed. I connected my GS II to odin re install the firmware but odin stalled. I had to kill odin with Task manager. Before odin, my phone would go to the download recovery menu. Now I cannot get it to respond at all.
Did odin not responding and me killing odin via TM hard brick my phone?
lol. A Courts-Martial started today for an old neighbor of mine and I was supposed to testify but they never called me (until my phone broke). My company commander tried to call me but couldn't get me. He called my NCOIC so my NCOIC tried to call me. Nope. NCOIC called one of the guys near me and told him to see if I was still alive.
lol.
Odin failing to complete the flash would not usually hard brick the phone. Usually after a failed flash, you can still get into download mode and flash again. If the flash was interrupted while Odin was loading the boot loader, then you would get a hard brick, but the boot loader goes on in in a matter of seconds, so the exposure is small.
Don't know what would cause the phone to be completely unresponsive, but if you can't get it into download mode, then your options are limited. You could send it out for jtag repair but that would probably cost around $50 to $60. If you decide to go that route, Mobile Tech Videos is a trusted and respected shop.
Wife's phone is done, at least I am done with it. She can pick from a GS3 mini or GS4 mini. I bricked mine while working on hers.
Mine is off to mobile tech videos. I should get it back next week. Wife gets a new phone, I will keep my SII.

It was bricked. Send it to mobiletechvidoes and got it back. Working like new!
Rooted and CWM installed. ShoStock rom installed but ended up in bootloop. Reinstalling now.

Why did you post in this thread? You should start your own thread for a new issue.
Do you have SGH-I777, or is it SGH-S959G, or some other model? If I777, you can't flash a separate recovery. Recovery is built in to the kernel, so you have to flash a kernel to get CWM.
Please study and know what you are doing before you damage your phone.
Greetings,
Right away, sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong spot.
My story:
One of my friends was about to throw away his tablet because of the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" problem. He took it to a "repair shop", they tried restoring the tablet with Kies and Smart Switch. They couldn't get it to work, so he gave it to me.
Kies does not detect the tablet.
Odin DOES detect the tablet, but flashing fails.
I've tried flashing absolutely anything I could find (apart from a custom rom, couldn't find one I could flash with odin).
I CANNOT flash ANYTHING with odin. Sometimes it fails on NAND write, other times it appears like the flash was successful because it says RESET in odin and the tablet turns off, but after turning it back on it goes right back to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen.
The USB drivers are OK.
I've tried all ODIN version I could find from 1.85 to 3.11.1.
I CANNOT boot to recovery or download mode (if I could there wouldn't be a problem).
What could be wrong with it? What can I try to fix it? I'll try to list all of the things I tried to flash but forgive me if I forget some (there have been QUITE a few over the past 3 days of trying).
What I've tried to flash:
CF-Auto-Root-espresso10rf-espresso10rfxx-gtp5100
Clockworkmod_Recovery_for_P5100
espresso-any-root-kernel.v2.tar.md5
p5100-recovery.tar.md5
P5100XXAOF1_P5100BTUAOF1_BTU (stock rom region GB I think)
P5100XXDNA1_P5100NEEDNA1_NEE ([Pays Nordiques] 4.2
recovery-cache-fix.tar
philz_touch_6.03.8-jfltexx.tar.md5
CWM-root-P5100-v1
I've also tried flashing with PIT files:
gt-p5100_signed_espresso_20120220_16G
I've also tried to flash with NAND erase all (after everything else failed). That failed also.
I have no idea what else I can try.
I get this when I try to flash a stock rom:
<ID:0/007> Removed!!
<ID:0/007> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
UPDATE:
I tried flashing P5100XXALD6_OXEALD5_v4.0.3_Repair_Firmware, it looked like it was going to succeed, but then the tablet powered off and now it doesn't turn on at all, not even to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. The battery only charges to 3.75 volts and then stops (measured with a multimeter). I tried removing the battery, completely discharging the circuitry (it was still showing 0.5 volts on the board after disconnecting the battery from the tablet). It didn't help. The tablet "turns on" just enough for my PC to play the USB CONNECTED sound, but the screen doesn't power on and it shuts down immediately (1 second in between the USB CONNECTED and USB DISCONNECTED sounds on the pc).
Did you manage to find a solution?
