Hi I tried to upgrade my 7.7 to ICS using the image from SamMobile and Odin 1.87, the update failed at modem.bin and now when i boot the tab it goes to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". Needless to say it wont connect to Kies. Can anyone please help me. I am desperate.

You also didn't bother to post your question in "General". Familiarize yourself with the rules.

If you can still go to download mode , you have to flash the original rom that your mobile came with .

Yes make sure you are in ODIN/Download mode on the tablet.
Just in case any of you didn't see in the other ICS thread (though by now there are probably more than just a handful), I encountered a failure upgrading via Mobile ODIN pro on my ROOTED stock HC.
Luckily I was able to get to Download mode and I used Odin and it flashed fine. Just make sure the re-partition setting is not ticked.

Use mobile Odin, it root ics rom after u flash it)

OH MY GOD! WTF IS THIS STILL DOING IN DEVELOPMENT!?

I've the same problem! Odin just wont finish his installation :S I tryed everythin even flash hc back. But that won't finish at all! Maybe it's the driver? I don't installed kies but it does load in odin! On this moment I'm gonna try to install the driver's and try it again!

if you are plugged into a USB hub try plugging right into your computer. that was my issue with failed flashing. drove me nuts for hours.

SOLLUTION for Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please selected recovery mode in

Hello guys this is my first post and please consider me as a beginner.
I have a SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 international version. I believe the solution I will be posting will work for all types if they get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please selected recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I downloaded the file attached to the post (insecure kernel).
Then with help of odin v3.04 the phone in download mode I installed the above insecure kernel. By doing this I got the firmware issue away then I put the phone to recovery mode by pressing the volume up button and menu button and power button and selected the option factory reset and wiped or deleted the entire data. Once that was done I was able to install the latest Jellybean 4.1 official release using odin and my phone is back to life. I am so happy. I belive it will work for you also..
Thanks.

Disconnect the USB, remove the battery, put it back and get into recovery and see if it gets into download mode. If you get the "recovery screen" again, connect to kies and try the emergency recovery. Irrespective of what happens, retry getting into download mode again after that. I had encountered the same problem during and update after around 62% was written to the phone and was able to get into download mode again.
Never use kies. Always use Odin, or Mobile Odin.

[Q] Help please!

Hi all,
I have an I9505 from O2 and I was in Odin mid-flash throwing on Philz Touch when the cable got disconnected (kids) and now I'm getting an error on my phone I can't seem to undo. It's showing me a screen as soon as it begins to boot that reads "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery modde in Kies and try again.". I've tried running Kies as it suggests and my computer doesn't even register the phone connecting to begin with let alone Kies noticing the connection. I've tried to go into recovery mode (vol up + power) but it just gives me the same message. Please tell me I didn't brick this thing... is there any voodoo I can do to fix this? Thanks for any help you can give.

you meant that you can not boot in odin mode?
if you can, what odin says when flashing?

Can you still get in download mode? You may need to flash the whole firmware again then flash the recovery after. I've had the same problem on an s2 in the past with my son pulling the cable halfway through

Would a USB jig work?
You have to boot to download mode and install full firmware through Odin.
You can download your carriers firmware from Sammobile.com

Strike that, it worked! I've been at this for hours with no luck but I guess the phone gods are now in my favour. Unfortunately when I try to flash with Odin, I get failure messages and my phone stays in the Downloading part. Any advise?

Aslong as odin says fail or pass and you definitely do not have a progress bar on your phone after odin shows the result then you will be safe to unplug amd reboot the phone manually. If it passes on odin it usually reboots itself

ODIN still gives error..
In Kies select Tools -> Emergency firmware recovery
This will identify the appropriate firmware for your device (by serial no I think), wipe your device clean and install the latest available firmware. It is the 'nuclear option' when all else fails.
It rescued me from a brick once, but I ended up on new bootloader so tripped Knox fuse when I rooted. Annoying, but tolerable to get the device working again.

thanks a LOT!
First u will need a right version of your firmware (check csc)
download latest ODin for PC
download the file i atached (IT"s FOR 16GB 900F VERSION ONLY !!! )
reboot to download MOde
start flash the firmware
when odin fail : unplug phone , plug it back , uncheck PDA (firmware) and load Pit file ...hit start and reboot in Recovery to do a factory reset (optional , i think it might matter)

[Q] Emergency Mode (ugh!)

When I was going back to stock on Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 [SM-530NU], my device was in odin v1.85 reflashing my firmware and then the device unplugged on accident and interrupted the process. The error is "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I installed Kies 2.6 (just sits there) and 3.0 (not supported) and it wont detect my device.
I have T530NUUEU1ANK1_T530NUXAR1ANK1_HOME.tar.md5 but I can't use ODIN and Kies is not responding much.
At this point, I dunno what to do.

even though I can't get into download mode?
