Hello I have a verizon galaxy S4 that im trying to unroot. It has safestrap installed and has MJ7 loaded onto the phone.
I tried using the below method to unroot my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507253
When I tried doing this method I get Odin sits theres for a few minutes and then says FAIL. Now when I try to reboot it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
Does any one have any suggestions ?

I have a Galaxy Note that was on Telus in Canada. I attempted to follow these instructions to install Cyanogenmod: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_quincyatt. Had alot of problems working with Windoz 8 - but eventually **seemed** to get the CWM installed. However, when I did the reboot to recovery mode, I got 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.' I can't seem to do anything to get past this. I'm pretty much a beginner with modding my phone, so before I do anything else stupid, I'm asking for help. What can I do to either a) get back to my original install or b) try again with Cyanogenmod?
Thanks!

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago. Picked the wrong package to flash and got the same error message. I had to boot into download mode and then load the stock ROM via Odin, then root.
That fixed it for me and now I'm flashing custom ROMS again (and carefully reading the name of the ROM I'm flashing before hand lol).
First, to install CWR on a Canadian phone you have to pull the battery from the phone and disconnect the usb cable the instant Odin says flash was successful, otherwise the phone reboots and overwrites the custom recovery with the stock recovery. Then put the battery back in the phone and boot into recovery. Then format, wipe, and flash the rom.
I have a Galaxy S3 from Verizon on 4.3. Right now im trying to install clockwork recovery with Odin. Buy Odin fails every time. I mean EVERY time! It stops right at the end for anything i try to do. Then says fail. Can someone Please help?
VZW S3s have a locked bootloader. You should not be attempting to install CWM via Odin on 4.3, especially. You must root and use SafeStrap Recovery.

I rooted my galaxy s3 i9300 yesterday and then installed cwm recovery on it. after that i decided to back up my device via the recovery mode, when back up was done, i got a message like 'root access lost, fix, yes or no', i chose to fix and i'm stuck with the android man screen that says 'downloading ... do not turn off target!!!'. i can still boot to recovery tho. how do i fix this?
Try factory reset but you may have to reflash your firmware with Odin.
Make sure your cwm is the latest version.

Reboot to recovery and try to re-root manually or via ODIN with chainfire cf-root.
I think you need to re-flash root via Odin
Had my phone rooted with 4.4.4
Wanted to upgrade to 5.0. Went with Stock firmware
I try to "reroot" install CWM with ODIN -Pass
Used CF Auto Root - Failed
I try to get into the recovery screen and I get an error that say s Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue.. Use Kies to restore.
Problem here is Kies will not recognize my S/N and in talking to their support they claim kies can't be used after a phone has been rooted.
Just a side note I was having problems before I upgraded the ROM woudl get that error saying SEANDROID not enforcing. I was hoping the new firmware would resolve this. I don't get this error anymore but can't get into recovery either.
Thoughts?

If you can get into Download Mode you can Odin 5.0
May is Motorcycle Awareness Month Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
I did that, I was able to get 5.0 running..
So I installed CWM with Odin and that installed.
Used Odin for CF Root. it failed..
Can't get into recovery either as if I do it goes that error then I"m stuck there. Seems like the only way I can get out of it is to reinstall 5.0 fully via Odin then I'm back in business.

I was under the impression that you needed to root first, Then install a recovery? maybe it doesn't make a difference...
but I would try Odin the stock tar,
then Odin cf auto root
then Odin twrp
worked perfectly for me.
(also, I don't ever use kies for anything. ever.)
Hello everyone, I am trying to go back to stock rom/firmware on my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 (G900T)
I had a recovery, but I misplaced the SD Card that had it, so now I am trying to use Odin to do this.
I downloaded Odin and the firmware from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmob...mware-t3042400
but no matter, which Odin I use, or which Firmware I try, it keeps failing. What can I do?
Also, now when I try to boot into recovery it says ''Firmware upgrade encountered a problem, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''
EDIT:
After many attempts of flashing, I was successfull getting Android 5.0 back on to my phone. It turns on and works perfectly, but now I have run into a different problem.
T-Mobile keeps pushing to update to 5.1 / 5.1.1. but everytime I try, it downloads, boots to recovery, starts installing and fails. What can I do about this?
