I have a Korean model Note 3 that I rooted a while back. Tonight I updated the firmware over Kies, everything went fine, then tried to re-root using the same method I previously used (CF Auto root). Obviously a mistake.
Now my phone is stuck on Odin Mode, displaying the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. (It actually displays it in Korean but it's the same screen).
Here is what it says:
ODIN MODE;
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900K
CURRENT BINARY: Custom

KNOX KERNEL LOCKFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X1

RP SWREV: S2, T2, R2, A2, P2
WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE
After I unsuccessfully attempted use CF Auto Root is also says "Unsupport dev_type" in red at the bottom.
The biggest problem I'm having is that I don't know what to flash. The SM-N900K seems to be an uncommon model, at least in the English speaking world. In fact, when I first rooted I couldn't find the appropriate file for this model so I used the N900 or N900s (which is another Korean model), I can't remember which.
If anyone has any suggestions for how I can fix this, it is greatly appreciated.

Update: I flashed the Cf Auto Root for the SM-N900S .
Now I am no longer stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error mode" but at the regular Odin download mode. Also able to access recovery mode. Still unsure of how to get my phone back track.
Update again:
Was able to install the SM-N900S Clockwork Mod. However, still unable to boot normally. Any help appreciated
Is there any chance I can get back into my phone the way it was, without losing all my data? Or will I need to do a factory reset?

I am unable to find firmware for SM-N900K, and am wary that if I flash the SM-N900S firmware, it will mess up the phone somehow (they are for different carriers)
You should wipe data/cache partition/dalvik.... and try flashing a custom rom. Sees if it boots up then

I was able to install Lidroid ROM successfully, but after reboot it returns to the same Odin Mode screen as before.

I guess the only way is to wait the official firmware for sm-n900k(KT).
Can you give a picture of the screen at all.... Best bet is goto samfirmware and find the latest firmware for your phone and flash with Odin... If that don't work.. Try the sm9005 mj7 firmware. ... Though Not sure if it will make things worse or not

Below that there is the green Android logo and it says Downloading Mode (in Korean) and Do not turn off (in Korean)
Edit: Also, samfirmware.com does not have firmware for the SM-N900K unfortunately, only the SMN900S. Does anyone know where I can download other Korean firmwares?
If I try to flash SM-N900S Firmware my phone says the same as before, with the following at the bottom:

Have you tried kies since you had this error? I had problem before and it said to use kies to restore.
It looks like the bootloader... and you may have to wait until you find the original firmware. ..
What version of odin are you using? I use 3.09 ... Try that if you are on a older version.

I've tried both 3.09 and 1.85 versions of Odin. And Kies won't recognize the device, unfortunately.

In case anyone happens on this thread while trying to resolve a similar issue, the resolution was that I was unable to fix it on my own. I took it to the Samsung Service Center and they reinstalled the original firmware despite the Knox warranty having been tripped.

That depends on which exact firmware version you are on.
Pop over to the Galaxy Note 3 Korean Users Thread for more info!

oh lord, bear with me ya'll.
Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4-I337.
It updated over the air to 4.4.2
I tried rooting it, and it didn't work.
Now it will only work in download mode anytime I try recovery I get "Firmware Upgrade Encountered An Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
Okay, Ive tried Kies. IT DOESNT WORK. it wants to flash me back to 4.4.2 but when I got the update I was on 4.4.2
Ive tried Oden v3. 309 and Oden v1.85
using the one click zip to fix.
Nothing is working. I am really getting frustrated.
Is there a kind soul willing to help?
Also- all the updates Ive found are for NB1, My GS4 is NC1.
Please Help!!!!
It doesn't matter so much what firmware you flash back to so long as it finishes successful. You can always upgrade again. I was on NC1 when I got my replacement phone from AT&T. I went down to MK1 to root then used updates and things to get back up. Now there is a root for NC1 so no need to downgrade.

We do not have the full Odin flashable firmware for NC1. You can flash the full NB1 firmware and then use NC1 update to get to NC1

Please post the error Odin shows. That might help people help you.

You might need to use a .pit file and the firmware. Using pit files isn't always recommended but in my case my phone got screwed up and I could go to download mode and even flash firmware but nothing would happen. Then I got a working .pit file and firmware and flashed them at the same time. My phone booted up after. The pit file has to do with the internal partition on the phone. Not sure if that will fix you, but it did fix mine.

As said above, you are suppose to flash the NB1 file, you are attempting to flash the MDL file which will not work.
Hi, I rooted my GT-i9301i last week, disabled Knox with SuperSU, flashed CWM and installed CM11 and CM12. I unrooted and went back to stock firmware using Odin because my phone doesn't vibrate normally anymore. I wanted to know if I still had my warranty. But my phone doesn't have a flash counter. I read that with newer Samsung phones there is a Knox counter and that you can check it by going into Download Mode. But there is no 'Knox Kernel Lock' and 'Knox Warrenty Void'. Oh and it says that I have a GT-I9300I but I have a GT-I9301I. Now I don't know if my warranty is void. Hope you guys can help me.
In Download Mode I see:

You can install app "Phone INFO Samsung" (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo). Except others the app will also show you the status of Knox warranty void.
Some S3 Neo single SIM phones (I9301I) in Download mode incorrectly show I9300I (it is mentioned here on XDA).
Please share your results, I'm also interested what mentioned app will show re Knox status. Also could you tell me which root did you use? Thank you.
hi, mine "knox warranty void" is 0x0 ...
Consider i've changed recovery to cwm trought Odin 3.09, applied knox disabler script, applied root and saved my stock rom..
All in this order..
And then installed after a format /system and wipe data/cache, the new rom CM 12 5.02 lollipop....
Happy new year to all...
Hi l.sabatini, so if I undestand, you rooted your device according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-t-r-p-samsung-galaxy-s3-neo-gt-t2906840. Am I right?
And "knox warranty void" 0x0 is shown in the app I posted above or in download mode? I'm asking as some devices doesn't have this info in download mode...
if I can help, I never modded my phone and in download mode appears to me I9300I, although I have a I9301I.

When you have stock firmware installed back then your warranty is back! But also you need to unroot your device to avoid the warranty

I gave my note3 to a technician, there was a problem (It didn't boot, instead stuck on samsung logo with recovery booting). The technician did his best and the phone began to work. Then I used the phone once ( for 24 hours) and the same problem came back. I tried to flash it with official Rom lollipop 5.0, bootloader and CWM by Odin v3.09, but that was in vain.
I need your help please.
Waiting for your reply.
Take it back to your technician .
Suggestion is a hardware problem .

I did it before trying by myself to fix the problem, but not solution. If it's a hardware problem, may be I have to try with another technician. Thanks.
This is exactly the same problem I am having.
My phone is now working on stock Lollipop but I was stuck with this for a while.
I found that if i flashed the CWM .tar file with Odin it would reboot and work fine.
Once you get to that point, download a stock rom from Sammobile - I used 4.4.2 just to get it working.
When i had installed 4.4.2 everything appeared fine, i went ahead and booted into stock recovery and did a full reset.
I then let the phone update to stock 5.0 using the built in updater.
Im running it as it is (stock rom, un-rooted and stock recovery) until i can research enough into the problem and how to get around it.
In Odin mode on my phone, there is a "write protection - enabled" line also, which im guessing is causing my problem on not being able to get cwm/twrp to work
My aim was to Root, custom recovery and custom Rom but I hit the exact brick wall you posted in the OP
I think something is not right about my phone. I got this this phone 3 days ago and was running lollipop 5.0.1.
I tried to root it with this guide here choosing method one, because in the about section of the settings, it said Galaxy s4 GT-i9500. After flashing the downloaded CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar.md5 with Odin and it failed, it could only boot into download mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select ..........blah blah blah".
After failing to unbrick the phone, I took it to a repair shop where they flashed a new stock rom. The model now says Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T in lollipop 5.0.1. It used to be GT-I9500 and to make it more confusing, the sticker at the back read Model: SM-i9500, SSN: -i9500GSMH. And if I boot into downooad mode, the below info is what comes up. How can I successfully root this device and de-bloat it without bricking my phone again? I didn't have to spend the extra money for flashing a new rom.

need more information than that.
ok..
have you installed stock rom via ODIN from fresh ? or just trying to recover what is installed on the phone ?
if NOT odin then you need to flash stock rom again via odin and test again.
if YES then may be, may be it is hardware related (last option to consider).
BUT you need to do the steps above. then we can only reach on a proper solution.

probably a corrupted partition due to some error.
try getting a .PIT file for N9005,
and flash it via odin along with stock rom.
1. search google -- there are various PIT files on SamMobile. Download the N9005 hlte BTU version.

change cables. (may be cable is somehow not working properly.)
use updated ODIN version. ( you are using old version)
use this PIT file. this is TGY version. (Android 5.0)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67773525&postcount=16
after then flash stock firmware. (preferably TGY one.)
if nothing works even now... then your mmc chip is corrupted and need to be replaced. the chip only if you can or the whole motherboard.
there is no harm in trying anything now, to revive it. so just do everything. don't lose hope. may be it will work.

hmm..
that i don't know yet.
but in my opinion, if the emmc chip/motherboard is dead/corrupted/broken then it should not be detected by odin at all.
if it is being detected then it can be survived. but hey it is just an hypothesis.
imo the partition corruption chances are high like 85-95%. that can be repaired by available PIT file.
but i don't know any further than that.
and btw you didn't mentioned how it got corrupted ?
