but it failed, then I had the error "firmware upgrade encountered an issue". After this, I tried many ways using differents odin versions to flash but noone worked, everytime I tried the result was "Complete(Write) operation failed."
Can anybody help me please ? T.T

If you can reboot in download mode, try to flash a stock rom with odin. it should work. that's how rom's must be flashed with odin, not in recovery mode.

do u have the drivers installed??? download a different stock firmware for your i9505.. and try two ,three firmwares if still failing,, you can get firmwares from http://www.samfirmware.com
and try to flash using Odin make sure your drivers are working also removing Kies if you have as it could interfere..

My device is currently stuck in a bootloop with:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I've loaded up Kies and it sees my phone is there and tries to connect but will sit there for a few minutes and then says that I need to reboot the device (this doesn't help either, same every time).
I'm unable to boot my phone in to recovery mode. However I am able to boot into download mode. So I've tried flashing root and/or CWM onto it but it fails each time. As does trying to flash stock firmware (or so I believe that's what "I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.t ar" is).
I've searched and found some people suggesting that I try and flash a stock ROM through Odin, but unable to find one in a .tar or .tar.md5 format
I'm completely stuck now and unsure what to do. Can somebody please help me out.

Thanks mate. Trying a different copy of the stock FW now.

[Q] Can't flash I9500 stock rom?

So here's a run down of what has happened:
1) My phone prompts me to upgrade to 4.3
2) Following the update, the phone boots but is unresponsive; (just keeps on saying that app has crashed)
3) Tried to go into recovery mode, but it didn't
4) Used the Kies Emergency Firmware Upgrade method but it stopped and said that an error has occured
5) Now my phone is in a state where booting brings me to an error message that says "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I have already tried to use Odin to flash a stock rom onto it several times already. I used both 3.04 and 3.07 versions with the 4.22 ser and 4.3 ser roms and they have all failed at Nand write or Can't open the serial(COM) port. or etc.
I've been browsing the forums for a day now and no help. Do you guys have any suggestions?
(I can still enter download mode.)

Bump.
Does anyone have any alternative methods other than flashing stock with Odin until it works? I'm just getting fail messages

Note 3 failed to root then "firmware encountered an issue"

Hi I'm recently tried to root my phone using odin however it got stuck at cache.img and then failed to root, leave my phone in the downloading stage.
so I disconnected it from the pc then remove its battery and I got the "firmware encountered an issue"
Now am unable to use my phone.
I've tried to look it up but couldnt find any help.
Please help me out.
thank you!

Are you still be able enter the download mode?
If so, try download the stock firmware and flash via Odin.

[Q] Unfortunately, (all services) have stopped

I was L17(5.0) Dr Ketan's ROM. I had done all the flashing on TWRP.
Today when i tried to go to recovery, it landed on stock recovery and not TWRP.
And when rebooted the phone it constantly gave me error messages one by one that "Unfortunately, ... service has stopped"
My first question is TWRP won't work on android 5.0?
I tried flashing TWRP through odin but it failed and gave this error: Complete(Write) operation failed
Did i do something wrong?
All help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: Now when i try to go to recovery/reboot it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Go to recovery in Kies
All i did was unsuccessfully tried to flash twrp/cwm.

I got the same error, when I was trying to flash TWRP2.8.3.0 via odin. I corrected issue by by trying to go back to download mode and flashing another recovery.. as I remember.
Please check whether you can go to download mode??

Soft Brick - FAILED TO MOUNT SYSTEM - Help

Good night guys, so there's my problem:
I was on DN 0.6.1 custom ROM, TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted. Today, i wanted to go back to stock ROM, so, I downloaded the stock firmware throught sammobile, and tried to install it throught ODIN 3.11, but it's stopped at system.img, and remained stuck in it for a long time. so i decided to restart the phone..
Then it's showed the follow message:
firmware upgrade encountered an issue note 4. Please select recovery mode on kies and try again.
So, i tried to re-flash throught ODIN, but stucked at system.img again, after it, I downloaded KIES and tried restore it, but it's stopped at 2%.
I wasn't abble to go to recovery mode, only download mode, so, i extracted the ROM file, and flashed only the boot.img through ODIN. Now it's boot to recovery...
I wiped data/cache, but the following error showed up:
E: Failed to mount system (invalid argument).
and now i can't find a solution for it.. tried to do amost anything that i could find on the internet, but none solved my problem...
I'm wanting to flash PIT + CSC + PDA file, using the repartition option on ODIN, but i'm afraid that may brick my phone for ever...
I'm following this tutorial by now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...te-4-pit-files-repartiton-f-g-c-t-w8-t3282641
And i need this CSC file, because my phone is the C version, could someone give me link to download it ? couldn't find in any place.
ANd there's someone who could help me ? i'm very concerned about it because i don't have money to buy another phone at the moment...
Thanks, and yes, already looked at XDA for a answer but couldn't fine any.
THANK YOU :good:

Anyone ?
