Hi,
I tried to manually update my Samsung Galaxy Note i717 (rooted) from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. In Kies, I was able to enter the model number and serial number and the download began installing on the phone. The Kies closed itself, and the phone is still showing "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!"
In this state the phone is no longer recognized by Kies. Rebooting, restoring, removing/replacing the battery doesn't help.
Can someone please help me with this? I'm not really a phone techie.
I've looked into using Odin but one or more of the links to the download files are always gone.
Thanks,
Nena

Hi there,
Maybe try this, it should help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Although the steps are for the Note N7000, you should still be able to find everything in the same websites (samfirmware, etc) but just look for i717.
Hope it helps!

my phone is a samsung galaxy s2 which was is branded to orange.
i have recently updated from android 2.4.6 to the new android 4.0.3 through kies.
i was really wanting to just root my device but for the time being leave the current rom on, i mainly wanted to uninstall blatware for now and backup etc...
anyway things have gone a bit wrong, i tried following the beginners guide on the following url:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
i downloaded the files that it tells you to, i opened odin and selected the XWKDD file as it says to and it said that the root was sucessful, but my phone didn't fully reboot, it went off and come onwith the samsung galaxy s2 logo and a yellow ! under it, and now it just stays on that and wont do anything else
have i ruined my phone or can it be fixed without losing any of my data or the way i had my phone?
any really fast help would be great, id love to sort this tonight if i can.
thanks in advance

Hi all, ok, I have GT-I9100P it was running 2.6.35.7- I9100P-BVKI3- CL608158 [email protected]#2
I was going to to be rooting the phone, so I could unlock....after connecting to kies, I got " there is a firmware upgrade" available, so, I went for it...that's where it went wrong, the update hung at 3%.....did nothing, then I had to goto emergency recovery, it then hung at 8%....I have also tried to use odin,( all kies turned offf) thought I had gotten what I needed, but that only gets so far & fails....so I am now stuck with a broken phone & really need some help to get it running again, any ideas guys???
thanks in advance
Can you just explain the real problem with the phone?
Can you still recovery mode? Can you still enter download mode?
What do you mean by Odin fails?
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!
So I kinda soft-bricked my galaxy ace 2 i8160 and Samsung Kies doesn't help at all I go to odin download mode, plug phone to PC and after 5 minutes of thinking, it says (device not responding, to resolve the issue, reboot the device). Can someone help me get back to pure firmware 2.3.6 or 4.1.2? I've now installed 4.1.2 jellybean and it's stuck on loading screen. I've tried both cyanogenmod 10.2 and 11, my phone couldn't detect sim card contacts and couldn't make a call, it says turn off plane mode, even if it's off...
nevermind... thanks guys... I just recovered my phone using instructions in this link...: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-downgrade-galaxy-ace-2-gt-i8160-to-gingerbread-from-android-4-1-2/
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.
