Hi guys,
I was just trying to flash a new rom to my father's s3...and in the middle of the proccess the cable disconnected and ever since it is stock on Odin mode.
When i turn it on i get this screen with this message: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
I look all over the internet and tried many many guides...but nothing seems to be working.
I tried to-
Flashing a stock rom. Odin Fail!
Flashing a CF-Auto-Root. Odin Fail!
emergency firmware recovery via kies. Not connected.
I also tried to use an other cables and usb ports...
PLZ help me guys...what else can i do?
Did you try to flash a stock rom with the repartition option ticked? And of course with the proper .pit file. Don't bet on it but it might work.
Not working =/
Do you have any other suggestion?
tnx
Can you get it into download mode?

Download smart switch to your laptop. Get rid of kies. Plug s3 and click "more" at the top. Then "Emergency software recovery and initialization" then click "device initialization" tab and follow instructions. You may have to enter model and serial number manually.
This will completely reset back to MK6 fw and you will lose all data.

Hi Guys,
My cousin's phone(GT-I9100) was soft-bricked at first. He was on Stock ICS and this **it happened with an OTA update via wifi. He purchased the phone in Germany and warranty period was over.
It has the following issues:
Enters Download mode but does NOT enter recovery mode (confirmed NAND rw corruption)
Doesn't flash
Bad flash in odin (FAIL after flashing, or the flashing suddenly stops)
I have tried all the methods including the bootloader flashing. But all the time flashing via odin stops and when I have flashed the mentioned Kernel(Kernel_I9100XXLPH) it wasn't success. Hope was lost .
Now somehow still the download mode works but when I start the phone , its showing that "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
When connected through Kies, the phone is not recognized. Please help me on how to recover my phone.
I have followed the guide mentioned here
BTW tried to flash through heimdall also on a linux system. Below error occured
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -3
Tried to re-partition using the pit file from here. But it stucked at
"Setting up PIT"
Was it completely bricked? Is there any other way to restore?
Do I need to change the motherboard or something to get the phone running?

Hi there,
I read your post and I have the *EXACT* same same problem, everything you described is what my phone is doing. I have a SGS2 GT-i9100M.
Were you ever able to find a solution to the problem?
Don't know how much this'll help but there was a thread a few days ago where someone faced the same issue. Flashing via Odin fails and the firmware error. Turns out he hadnt plugged he phone into a USB port connected directly to the computer. ie. Not via a hub or a USB port on the keyboard etc. Odin has problems with that. Also disabling KIES while on Odin. And finally the firmware should be one of your device variant itself.
Hope it helps.

did you manage to get anywhere with this? i had a similar type of issue, took a usb jig to get the system working again
Because there is no forum for the SGH-T589R (Samsung gravity Q). I have to post here.
I've been trying to flash back to stock rom ever since I rooted my phone. I've used Odin 1.85 and Odin multi downloader but they all get stuck! Odin 1.85 gets stuck at setup connection...I've searched everywhere they all say, try a different computer, try a different usb port, try a different cord, try re-installing the drivers, close kies, run as administrator, uncheck protect ops, I've even tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36293397 . The only progress I've ever gotten is Odin multidownloader getting stuck on amss download then boot.img download. Is my phone ruined or is there still a chance to fix it? I am in download mode as I can't get into recovery mode and it says in yellow text "Downloading..."

I don't know if you have found a solution or not, but because I have the same phone I'm suggesting you try Odin 4.40
I was looking for stock rom for SGH-T589W but unfortunately I couldn't!
Hi all,
Yes, i know there might be another topic on this, but trust me, ive looked, ive been looking for a solution for a full week now, and i know someone here can help me..
SO PLEASE HELP!!
I was running AOKP build6 on my SGS3 GT-I9300 International version, which performed excellent for more than a year, suddenly it became unstable, my phone would freeze completely and i had to reboot 10 times a day, it got worse, it just started rebooting out of nowhere
SO, i thought it a good idea to look for another ROM, and to be safe i tried flashing the stock ROM from the CMW recovery mode..
That did not work for some reason, it said Fail - so i went to try the PDA file option in Odin (newest version)
In Odin, i use the PDA button to load a md5/tar file, (Odin says 0COM/ connected, it can see my phone is connected) but when i start, it says Fail
-Phone will not start in recovery mode, it DOES go into Download mode, but any other way of trying to start in Download mode, it gives the following message:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies"
I have updated (reinstalled) the latest version of Kies, but Kies cannot connect to my phone (while Odin does)
It just keeps "Connecting" but does not connect, i tried all options in Kies "connection problems" (mine is in dutch) but it just will not connect
I am almost sure i unticked the box for USB Debugging, / so USB Debugging mode is OFF (im pretty sure)
Can this be the reason why Kies does not connect?
Am i completely scr*wed now?
I tried the firmware on another topic here, but in Odin it just says FAIL
I think you would call this HARD BRICKED??
i can still boot into Download mode, but is that enough? cause USB Debugging is OFF and Kies does not find my phone
Is it neccesary to replace my mainboard perhaps? I feel i have no luck trying to push firmware whatsoever...\
This hurts (since my backup phone is a slow unrooted S1
PLEASE PLEASE some help ?? ?
Sounds like either partial sds (product name blank in download mode) or a hard brick.
Lots of other identical threads, if you've read them then you already know there is no easy solution.
Use "firmware update and initialization" option in kies, under tools.
Hey guys, how is it going?
I have a major problem.
I was attempting to upgrade to 4.4.2 using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726868
I made it to step 6. But ODIN failed and never completed. I couldn't get ODIN to successfully flash. Now as a result, when I turn on the phone it states "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". (installed Kies and cant get the phone to connect to Kies)
I am able to trigger download mode and the phone is recognized by ODIN on my computer. I have tried multiple different methods to recover using various images and all fail during flash using ODIN.
I am not sure where to go from here, any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Are you sure md5 of odin files are good? Are u using the Verizon USB cable. Have you tried different USB ports? Different computer? Have you tried odin 3.09? 3.07?

Suddenly one day my S6 edge G925I got stuck on "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software"
So i tried using the Emergency Recovery function, which threw an error after downloading "Could not recognise update mode". I cannot enter recovery mode. Only Downloading mode.
I tried Flashing it with the stock firmware but it said "There is no PIT partition".
So i gave it the correct PIT file but it gets stuck at "Get PIT for mapping".
Tried Odin 3.07 and 3.12. Used it in XP Compatible mode too and ran as admin.
Tried 3 different usb cables now.
Tried flashing a custom recovery mode(twrp) but that failed giving the same error.
Please help

Try changing USB port or use the rear ports, or take battery out and in and reboot to download mode, it's a common issue, happens a lot, if you're using a USB hub, then don't, and plug the phone directly to the USB port.

So I'm using a laptop and tried all the USB ports. As the S6 edge battery is non removable i cannot do that. Also the phone doesnt charge (no kernel?), only when the phone is connected the emergency page shows up.
