I might have accidentally bricked my SGS 2. I get a screen saying:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
with a mobile phone and a computer logo with a Yellow triangle in between.
I know abt Rooting and ROM flashing etc and has been doing it for the last couple or years.
I flashed Franklin's XXKG3 Kernels, and before I could flash Chainfire's XXKG3 kernel, the USB ports refused to recognize my handset. I can still go into download mode but the Odin or Samsung Kies etc. won't do nothing.
Keeps saying "USB Device not recognized"
Please help!!!!

USB drivers problem remove Kies totally and reinstall .
Connect in mass storage mode and let windows find drivers .
That fails its broken phone .

You can always try using a USB JIG to put the phone in download mode.

reboot your PC and then re-install the Samsung USB Driver from:-
C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver
and run "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe"
Doing that will make sure there is no USB driver corruption.

I had the same problem on my SGS4g after updating to a leaked 2.3.4 rom, which would not make phone calls. Tried to use heidmall to downgrade by loading a new rom. After installing the usb driver as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14798367&postcount=1 . After reboot I get the error screen <phone..!..Computer> "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again". I then took the following steps.
I came across this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Bricked_Screen Under the bricked section it mentions a couple things to try. I the reboot cycle with a couple of times and kept on getting the same screen. Still no go.
I took Odia's advice an did a complete removal of all usb drivers as mentioned and reinstalled kies. This was key in getting odin to recognize the phone again.
My solution:
I try Odin again to try to get it to recognize my phone. I open odin with the usb connected in this state and it is not recognized. I pull battery, it boots to error screen. I restart odin and then plug in the usb and it is recognized. I was then able to load my pit, pda, phone, csc back onto the phone with odin. The first time it tried to load the data it failed, the second time it worked!
Interestingly I never got the "Download Screen". I was still on the mentioned error screen, yet odin was able to still see the phone. The status bar still showed up on the error screen as the fresh rom was being loaded.
I thought I was totally bricked, but this method worked in my case. Hope something similar might work for you.
I still don't know I would get this error screen and have to go through this after loading the required usb driver for heimdall? Any ideas?
OMG! It's WORKING!
Thanks a lot to you all guys for the co-operation....
So, what did I do???? I uninstalled Kies and re-installed a couple of times but it won't access it. Tried Odin in all possible ways, No success. While playing and after ordering a "Jig" from some1 in USA,
I thought of something else and while the phone still being connected with the pc, I ran SuperOneClick, but it went on saying waiting for the device,.... I accidentally or in frustration hit the "HOME" button and it started doing something, USB drivers and Modem drivers installed on PC. Then I started Odin and the port went "Yellow". And I flashed it with the XXKG3.....
OMG! I'm so much relieved!!!!!!!! thanks God
thank you all too
Love your SGS2 and love God! Bless you all!

I love you man! You saved my phone and me!
So what have we learnt today? Don't go screaming "brick!" everytime you encounter a problem
I had a same issue yellow triangle between Phone and PC symbol...
followed this step .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
just did like this on very first step to get into odin mode hold vol down and power for longer then usual to get into odin mode and by pass that yellow triangle between Phone and PC screen and then follow rest of it same and easy as right clicking on desktop LOL!
From my experience, only true brick I encountered was when I messed with boot loaders. If the screen shows anything at all, Odin will recognize it. Glad to hear it's fixed

I´d tried to upgrade my Infuse SGH-i997 (AT&T) but I did something wrong and now the cell phone no work.
When it turn on says:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
The computer recognize the cell phone but I don´t know what else I can do.
Any suggestion?
Can you get into download mode? If yes then reflash stock firmware using Odin

A bricked phone is a phone which will not respond. It maybe a soft brick or hard.
If you can get into download or recovery all you have to do is reflash. Wipe data & Cache. You will be up and running. If your phone is not recognised by your computer then reinstall kies.

Yep. Infuse Q&A (You're in the wrong section).

Well, I got this same Firmware upgrade error. I can't get the computer to see it at all. It's almost like the USB port doesn't work anymore. I can get into the download mode but then it ends there. I cannot get into the bootloader at all. If I try, it goes to the error screen and if I boot normally, it goes to the error screen.

I can't tell if you're asking for help or just letting people know, but anyway, considering all your previous posts were in the Epic 4G Touch forums, you've probably trashed your device flashing something meant for the I9100.

Thanks a lot. My teenage son thought he had bricked his S3 mini but I was able to fix it after reading this thread. Thanks.
Ok so i think i bricked my phone but not completely happened when i flashed CWM Touch but must of not of been the version for the note. I can boot it up goes to Samsung logo but then all black this happened when i went to my Rom and rebooted it to recovery to see the CWM touch worked so no its just staying on the logo and I cant reboot it to Recovery mode anymore I can however boot to download mode some freinds over at BlackStar Rom Thread helped out how to fix it I just cant get my darn PC to install the drivers even if i Downloaded them on the Samsung Website and still says Unknown Device...
Any help will be appreciated ...I am very unhappy without my note lol...but yea i am
I would uninstall any Samsung Driver you have and then download fresh just the driver here: http://d-h.st/jfx then reinstall them and reboot you pc after uninstall and reinstalling.
And if you are running BStar, bigfau doesn't mind if you post your questions or issues in his thread, he and the folks there are very helpful and like keeps all in the thread.
Just a side note....
Okay will ask in the thread then thanks also tried what you said and uninstalled kies still get unknow device
So you have no Com connection in download mode while using Odin ?
If you have download mode, then Odin should work .....as the drivers on the device side are still working..
Or are you seeing the download " limp" mode ???
With the pictures of a computer and phone on your phone screen ????
If so ...go to the " note super everything thread " and scroll down to the post ...." Odin tips for better success "....
It explains a bit more ....
Good luck ......g
yes i just get a error 43 says windows has stopped device when i try to load the drivers it does nothing says has the most best driver for the phone i get into download mode shows the pic of android and says on top odin mode and my phones model number other than that it wont read to my pc so i can get the install going via odin or kies i currently have kies uninstalled did as Bigjoe said and uninstalled drivers and reinstalled all with always rebooting my pc
still no sucess thinking of buying some usb to micro cords and see if that will help my pc still says unknown device even after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers
Hello,
my device (i9300) as mentioned above got stuck in a boot loop.
First I did was I installed the latest pac-man ROM from here. After successful testing I decided to flash the latest OmniRom 4.4 from here.
Now here comes the dilemma with: My Failure was that I had a old Recovery (CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4) and I didn't see the point where it says that I have to update it first.
My USB Connection to my PC was already broken before I started to flash any of the ROMs. So I can't connect to the PC to flash via Odin. It fails on the driver installtion. (I copied everything in my cloud and downloaded it to the internal sd)
The Device Manager shows alwas a ! in a yellow triangle near the "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" (Download Mode) with a errer code 10: Device cannot start. I did millions of solutions but nothing worked against this issue ...
Currently my device starts where the Samsung galaxy s3 logo pops up, get stuck by that with a red 1 on the upper left corner and boots into the "old" recovery.
This is my Problem. Please help me to fix this (and the USB bug).
Thank you very much
Kind regards,
A.R.Cante

To fix the USB bug, you must uninstall that driver and download the driver ( try to install kies for example )
To fix the bootloop try to do a full wipe in recovery mode

None of your advices worked. I did unistall all drivers and also Kies. Reinstalled and it doesn't worked. So I uninstalled it again and installed only the drivers but this didn't worked too.
Everytime I uninstall the drivers and connect the device to the PC it is trying to Install the Drivers over Windows Update and Kies isn't reacting at all.
Now since I wiped data/factory reset, cache partition, dalvik cache and formated /system and /preload my device won't start automatically in the recovery anymore. It get stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SIII Logo with the red 1 in the upper left corner. To Access to the Recovery I have to take the battery out and and insert it again and press volume up + home + power.
What can I do now?
Thanks in advance

Try to download any custom ROM if you don't done yet and put it in your external sd card ( use an other phone or card reader ) and now try to enter in recovery mode and install it and let us know the result

I tried this now on my Desktop Computer and it worked fine. I didn't need to install drivers manually. It installed it by itself and therefore i was able to use odin!
I flashed the new recovery and put the omnirom and pa-gapps on my sd card (I also tried this on my notebook but my card reader is maybe broken)
so i installed teamwin recvovery over pc, put rom and gapps on my sd card and flashed them over recovery.
Now all works fine.
Thank you for your help.
But what I don't understand is my Win 7 OS (32 bit) is recently set up on my VM everything was fresh but it didnt recognized my device... Google says a lot of people are having this issues. I've tried everything whenever I found allegedly a solution for this problem. None of them worked. I simply switched the computer and everything is fine. This is ridiculous. One year ago, when I had running windows as main OS, there were no problems at all. If the problem was caused by a virtual machine I think that not many people would complain about this issue.
Kind regards
Why would old Win 7 recognize your device unless you install drivers .

I don't really understand your comment. The Problem of this USB error has no root. When your Windows System says error code 10: device cannot start then you have a big problem because you don't know why and how to fix this. Try and Google this. You will find thousands of people complaining the same error. Everyone has other solutions for that. Some edit their registry, others simply do a soft-reset and try another USB-Port.
Samsung support can't help you at all because they don't know why this is happening. And the solving of this problem is really random. i tried for hours to solve this with no success (except switching to another computer).
Windows says on my laptop the device cannot start but it is perfectly connecting to my other computer. How can this happen? I don't know. Maybe the error code 10 is not that specific and there is something other wrong than my device.
hi everybody!
this is my first post.. hope someone can help me.
i just rooted the galaxy s2 and wanted to install cwm by factory recovery. That went wrong, i guess a wrong file. Now im stuck in a boot loop. I cant enter recovery mode, only the download mode. So tried to connect my phone with the pc to use Odin, but it doesnt recognize the device (never did not even before this brick). Installed kies and tried every driverinstall but no succes, it gave me code 43. i have windows 7..
so.. no recovery, no usb.. what can i do? im almost desperate.

Try another computer then. Your phone gets detected even if no driver is installed. As long as the computer does not detect at least an unkown USB device no driver will bring you any further.
Check out @Hopper8's Odin troubleshooting guide here on XDA.
hey guys...
My phone is in trouble and I tried to solve it but couldn't even after a day long struggle..So, I decided to post this thread!
I just installed the cwm recovery v6.0.4.5 through Odin..
And then I tried to install a custom ROM after wiping the system data,cache and dalvik cache...
But unfortunately when I did a system reboot it started booting into the cwm recovery...
And to my surprise Odin is no longer detecting the phone in the downloading mode...
When I checked the device manager I saw "Samsung Mobile USB CDC composite device" under the bus controllers and its drivers are not installed properly... So, I tried updating its drivers but I only get "This device cannot start .(Code 10)" error.
I installed kies to check if I have proper drivers installed but still Odin isn't detecting my phone.
So someone please step up and help me in recovering my phone..
Thanks,in advance!
