My player got stuck in "Firmware upgrade" screen after flashing a wrong kernel(a kernel for sgp 4.2) to it. Even i try to boot to recovery mode i get the "firmware upgrade" screen. I tried flashing the stock kernel via ODIN, but i just get a FAIL. Its actually been almost a year that i never used this device since it was bricked.
Try flashing the ROM with the version of Odin below. I have had issues with the galaxy players and newer versions of Odin.
All the ROMS for all versions of the Galaxy Player are here:

Had some issues with my phone so I tried to flash to stock using Odin. Odin wouldn't connect so I flashed to stock using Heimdall. Stuck with stock for few hours and flashed a new CWM to get back to MIUI, screwed up so I decided to re-flash with Heimdall again. Flashing went okay, but the phone will not boot up or even go into download mode. Have I bricked the un-brickable or is there something else I can do with ADB etc?
might have bricked it. did you use the right cwr for your phone? if theirs now cwr and only stock take it in to a store and say the ota update for 2.3 screwed up your phone. if not buy a new phone like the galaxy nexus
I wanted to install a Custom ROM on my s2, but ended up changing the Kernel. Once I changed the Kernel, My phone showed only the Booting screen. (It reads: Samsung Galaxy SII; GT-I9100). To change this, I accidently started installing a ROM for GT-I9100G. ODIN got stuck and remained stuck for a long time. I removed the plug. Now my phone boots only to the Downloading section. I can't even access the Restoring section. I tried to flash my original ROM through ODIN. ODIN stops responding. What should I do??

Try to install a safe kernel like siyah with odin. Download an ICS based custom rom. Reboot to recovery..wipe data/cache and install the rom

just flash the correct one from download mode
If you can access Download mode, you aren't bricked.
As said by others, use download mode to flash a kernel such as Siyah or Chainfire's kernel (CF-Kernel). Start with Kernel, if everything works take a few days break, read Carefully about any ROM that wakes your interest. Be sure to have the PDA and have unchecked re-partition and you're good to go.
Also check if the yellow box appears or not. If not, install KIES, and then flash kernel.

I'm new here and im only here because i destroyd my S3 software.
i was using cmd 10.1 on my rooted phone but i thought i would try to downgrade it to cmd 9.1
without further thinking (stupid me) i downloaded the 9.1 update from the setting - about phone - etc.
when i then restarted my phone was stuck at bootlogo screen. when i then tried restart to clockworkmod i came right to "dowload custom rom" screen.
i have tried to install a stock rom with odin without any luck and also, by using odin, installed a pit. file. when i now have installed a stock rom i get the normal stock rom boot loader screen but are stuck at that point.
i have also tried to install clockworkmod with odin. just came to the "download custom rom" screen.
Can anyone help me or is my phone totaly broken? :'(

Just flash a stock rom and do a factory reset

I have a SGH-i527 that got the 4.4.2 OTA update last night. I'm not sure what I did, but I think I tried to flash the 4.2.2 via Odin when I was encountering problems with Kit Kat. Now when trying to boot, I am stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen.
I have tried to get Kies to go through emergency recovery but the phone never shows up there. And obviously, trying the flash the 4.2.2 firmware in odin will not work. So I am stuck. Any thoughts?
If you did flash the JB ROM after the KitKat update, you will have to flash the KitKat firmware since you cannot downgrade the bootloader and you have probably voided the warranty. Flash the KitKat update for the specific model and DO NOT try to root, flash custom recovery or downgrade to Jellybean since it will trip the Knox boot loader and you will have a brick. Hope this helps
To my understanding, there is not a KK stock rom that I can flash (at least for the i527). And since I can't flash back to 4.2.2, it looks like I'm stuck.
Why flashing 4.2.2 by Odin did not change your situation? Maybe try to flash another ROM?
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?
