Hi Guys
I was having some trouble connecting my Galaxy S2 to my comp this evening to transfer some photos. Downloaded and installed Kies and it said there was a software update. Went through with it, upgrading to Icecream Sandwich (or w/e its called) but during the installation process it failed (can't remember the exact error message).
My phone is now unable to switch on, just showing the error message:
"Firmware upgraded encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Unfortunately, Kies will not locate my device and will not go through with recovery.
After some searching I came accross this forum, and specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771]this thread.
I've worked my way through that. I can flash the kernel succesfully through Odin (says pass) but when I try and flash the firmware it fails.

Get the same trying to use Bootloader aswell.
Now I'm guessing my warranty is now voided, so is there anything I can do to save my phone or is it completely b0rked?
Help much appreciated.
Some details from under my battery
Model GT-I9100P
SSN: I9100PGSMH
Any other details you need?
Bare in mind i cannot get into the phone at all.
Is it possible that I need to use the ICS recovery package rather than the Gingerbread?
i think u need full rom with pit and ur phone will work
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I'm in work and don't have a comp with full access. Any chance you could possibly link the files I need or at least point me in the right direction.
Many thanks.
Not sure which CWM I was coming from, but I wanted to go back to stock. Here is what I did:
C:\Users\Brian\Downloads\Cell Phone\CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5
C:\Users\Brian\Downloads\Cell Phone\atlas_v2.2.pit
I select the partition box and got this error.

Please help. I dont know what else to do. Thanks so much.
I literally have tried everything. Not sure if the .tar is incorrect, or what is happening. Phone wont turn on though, its stuck on the samsung logo boot.
Have you:
Tried a different usb cable (or several)?
Tried a different usb port?
Tried a different OS?
Tried a different version of Odin?
Tried redownloading the files?
Tried stock 2.2 Froyo instead?
Looks like it was the USB cable. Damn i spent like 2 hours researching and trying everything . Thanks for the response bro. Have a good one.
No problem, it's always the last thing you think of. Glad you got it though
Hi folks. Longtime rooter and reader, but first time poster.
I attempted the S4 (VZW) s/w upgrade released today, using Kies, and during the process it froze and error-ed the following on my phone:
"Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recover mode in Kies & try again."
Of course, I've attempted the emergency recovery option a few times in Kies with no success. It will recognize my phone and the emergency recovery file, but will not actually send any data to the device to flash back to pre-s/w update.
So, I did a bunch of reading and d/l-ed a few stock roms to flash back using Odin (3.07). I get the same error with all roms as follows:

I can go into more detail on the roms attempted if necessary, but this seems like a phone/user issue as all the rom attempts responded with the same authorization error.
Thoughts and/or next steps?
Edit:
I was able to get Kies to start an emergency recovery d/l, but it failed part way through. Pic of error attached.
Same Problem
Hey man,
my gs4 is failing at the same part....did you happen to figure out a solution?
most of galaxy S4 new security ( i545, i9505, SC-04E) phones end up with aboot.mbn coz of old firmware version. check firmware version before write with odin. i got same prob with SC-04E new security comes with MUAMG2 firmware. i have try to downgrade with MUAMDI and MUAMF1. both ends with aboot.mbn error. but it worked with MUAMF2 version.
always try to update with same or new version. downgrade will end up with this error.
regards..
same issue
i have the same issue with my phone, anyone found a solution yet?
Hi, I'm trying to restore my phone to stock using ODIN.
I have Odin 3.09 and have the latest Scamsung Kies installed (for the usb driver).
The file I am flashing is: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23203820527944861
The message log I get from Odin is:

That makes sense, I wasn't aware that I was using an older firmware file. I'm having trouble finding the ME7 file, could you point me to a copy? Thanks!

I tried using the Kies recovery, but it doesn't detect that the phone needs recovering (both on that screen and the download screen used for odin).

Are you positive you were on me7 and not mj7? Because the error you got for me7 looks the same as the one for mdk...

Positive. I had installed the rom/recovery before anything newer than me7 was released. And I remember when I upgraded from whatever it shipped with to ME7 because the upgrade window popped up and I tapped Install by accident. I had this installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351840.
Edit: to confirm, I found my old post asking about the modules to get that rom to work on ME7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46944438
Was waiting for someone else to chime in who may know more than me. Have you tried booting into recovery from being powered off?

No problem, but yeah. After every failure I would battery-pull and go back into recovery.

So when you went to recovery it went to stock recovery I'm assuming? Or you got the error?
If it went to stock recovery did you try wiping everything before flashing in odin?

Isn't the recovery contained in the larger firmware files? What gain would flashing the stock recovery get?
I'm thinking I might just take the phone to a Verizon store and say, "Samsung kies told me it was going to update my phone, I took a shower and when I came back it was like this".
Edit: I untarred the firmware file, and it contained recovery.img. Can I flash that with odin?

I believe it has to be a tar. If you can get it on there and wipe data/factory reset it may get rid of safestrap and allow you to odin the full stock tar.

The NAB file will fix your issues, but I'll address what happened so others can see this thread and learn.
On the Note 3, once you're on Kit Kat (NAB or NC5), you cannot downgrade to Jellybean (MJ4).
Trying to do so will cause the error in OPs post.
There are tons of repositories where you can get stock NAB or NC5 TW Roms (taking a stroll through the Developers Section will find them easily), so all you have to do is try one of those and all of your issues will be solved.
