4.1? Are you referring to CM10? What device do you have?

I just don't understand why people are not using good old ways....
You can try this (Power OFF. Restart pressing Power and Volume Down, when you get to the 2 icons, choose Downloading, connect tablet to PC (Kies must be installed), choose to upgrade the firmware). That MIGHT work

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.
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.

Same issue!
My SGN3 is frozen in the middle of flashing this via odin. . The blue progress bar has been stopped for 15 minutes now.Odin is reading " "cache.img.ext4" and isnt progressing beyond that. Any ideas what my immediate next step should be?
UPDATE:
I pulled the plug, and get the big red "Fail" box in odin. Now my phone says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. "
I'm so screwed. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this stage.
Thanks!

You can rerun ODIN in that mode, just try it again with another USB port/cable and turn off Kies in Task Manager.

I second this because I am HIGH on Android.
Try using the original USB3 cable that came with it. If you can help it don't use a USB hub either, these can cause problems (past personal experience)
Dear Friends if you have encountered the CWM issue with odin and message firmware encountered an issue please recovery mode in kies..... you have to hold the three keys again to get back to download mode but you need to reinstall the firmware with odin ....firmware available at Sammobile.com. I did'nt find any other solution but reinstalling firmware brought my device in normal condition.
Hi guys,
I own a Galaxy Note 4 (N910H) and have rooted it before without any problem.
Long story short I wanted to install a custom rom and on the instruction says I need to reset my device to factory before I actually install it (because mine is 4.4.4).
I successfully reset it back to factory settings, however when I tried to install the rom an error occured.
When my device restarted it goes into a boot loop.
So I go into the recovery mode and delete the caches and what not (even selecting the reset to factory setting again).
When my device restart it is stuck at the boot sreen (samsung galaxy blablabla) and it DOESNT LOOP, it just stuck there and I am unable to go into recovery mode.
I tried to reflash it using odin (i can access the downloading mode) up to no avail.
My device is detected by odin (com:x) but when I pressed start it stuck at setup connection and after a while I got the Fail message.
Now I am at a loss and have no idea what else to do. Tried kies, doesnt work either.
Kies doesnt even recognize the connection to my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
NB: I'm a newb at this so please bear with me (and yes I kind of ****ed up)
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken you have Kies installed? If that is the case I would recommend you uninstall it. Then manually download the Samsung USB drivers
http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Reboot your PC just to be sure.
Then make sure your device isn't connected to the charger or computer and remove the battery and after 10 seconds reinsert the battery and manually boot into Download Mode (Home + Volume Down while holding the power button.)
Then connect your phone to the your PC and run Odin as Admin and try to flash the firmware.
I would also recommend that the firmware you are flashing is the correct one and is not corrupted.
You can check the firmware from Sammobile and after the download check the MD5Sum and then extract the zip file to get the firmware file.
Good luck and report back.

If you are using Odin version 3.09 or above it's AP, otherwise it's PDA.

Thanks Battlehero! now I finally get my galaxy note back to work again.
Now let's say if I want to Root my device again, is it as simple as installing CWM or TWRP and then install a custom rom?

If you want to root your current rom then install a custom recovery (TWRP) recommended then flash SuperSU Current release: https://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

Hello guys. I hope I posted in the right section as this is my first post here. I tried to root my phone (S4 I9505) today,but it failed. Now I'm stuck at the screen where it says to "select recovery in Kies". Can anyone help me? Samsung Smart Switch does not recognize my device. As I searched in other posts,most of the persons with this problem were able to use button combinations. In my case, I CANNOT enter Download,or Recovery mode. This is very important,so please help me.
Flash the stock rom using Odin even if the phone only displays the firmware upgrade screen.

Any instructions for doing that please? I repeat,I cannot acces download/recovery mode.
FOUND A SOLUTION.
1) I found this thread,and saw a reply talking about a .PIT file.
2)Searched for,and found the said file here
3)Selected the "PIT" option in Odin,searched for the file,and then I pressed "Start". It took 2 seconds to pass,and the phone rebooted without any problem.
