[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue (only DL mode working) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody
I've a great problem with my samsung galaxy s4 (i9505).
Today i buyed a new sdcard for my phone. I thought it would be a good idea to do a real clean up.
So i flashed the samsung stock recovery, stock kernel and the stock rom (from SAMMOBILE) . Worked perfectly.
Afterwards, i flashed the newest cwm recovery (6.0.4.7 touch). Worked again.
Copied my rom (aosb = android open source bam project) to the external sdcard.
I removed the external card and went to the mounts and storage entry.
Now the part, that hardly failed:
I wiped everything (every point under mounts), incl. /firmware and another point with /firmware (I think it was /firmware_dmm or something like this)
At least, i wiped the external sdcard. Because there was no, the recovery crashed (...) and rebooted.
Now i get this error: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
If i flash something over ODIN (stock recovery, stock rom, custom recovery or custom rom) it ends up in a "FAIL".

KIES doesnt find my device, but i already installed the newest samsung usb driver.
So i can't use the emergeny firmware "reset" of KIES.
If i start the phone normaly, the above error appears. Same, if i boot into recovery.
The only working thing is the downloading mode....
I also removed the battery for 15 minutes. But that changed nothing.
What can i do to "repair" my phone? Is it bricked?`
Thank you for reading
(Cant insert links to roms or images because of low post counter)

1. Reflash the firmware that u installed b4.
2. Flash TWRP or PhilzTouch using ODIN.

[Q] Odin not working + bricked phone without doing anything unusual.

First, I'm not a noob, so don't answer something like "did you go into download mode" or something like that ok? Thanks.
I just bricked my phone which is on Savie's kernel, Hyperion 8 while multitasking hard. I was converting a batch of MP3s, Downloading a video and listening to music, when it just hanged, when I decided to restart it , i realised that it was bricked. Even worse, Odin can't get it out of brick. Odin can recognize the device, complete the flash sucessfully

But it just won't boot. I need help, urgent. PWEATY PWEATY PWEASE is there anyone out there?
Can you enter recovery?
If yes, go into CWM and check if you can mount /data.
If you can mount /data, then I dont know what is wrong, but if you cant mount /data, then try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2122370
I hope it helps.
Flash stock kernel via odin from
https://hotfile.com/list/2023820/c55629e
wait a while with the cable still attached until it says passed
you should then be able to get into stock recovery
from there flash a temporary cwm
then restore your nandriod backup
Or
Wipe system & data & Flash a cutom rom or deodex stock rom from dev section
Hey thanks for your time... I booted it up the next day without doing anything special.
It was hard bricked, nothing I could do except entering download mode, and even after I flashed Odin successfully it is still bricked. Even weirder, I didn't do anything to brick /un brick it

SGS4 won't boot....

Hi guys,
My SGS4 won't boot anymore. At all.
I can (with difficulty) access my custom recovery menu (TWRP 2.5.1) and the download menu.
But whatever I'm trying to flash using ODIN from download menu, it fails! Whether it's the current ROM, official UK BTU ROM, stock recovery etc... So can't use Odin.
Can't put anything on the device either as I can't boot. When I use the "mount USB" from the TWRP menu, my PC doesn't recognize the phone so I can't put any ZIP on the phone that I could install from TWRP.
This happened when I used Triangle Away to reset the counter from 1 to 0....
I'm afraid my phone is bricked (although it's a temp phone and will be getting mine in 2 days), but I wanted to be sure that I didn't forget to do anything....
ANy ideas how to make this work pls?
thnx

one more thing, remove battery for a couple of minutes, then try with odin 1.85
All of these were really good ideas, but I'm afraid none of them work!
Same error message, it seems it can't write on the damn phone. I tried to reflash TWRP, the green bar went further but at the end, same thing, fails.

i dont know if flashing pit file along with the firmware will work
yeah that's exactly what I was thinking, after clickingon your "unroot, back to stock" link in your signature...
So can I flash the firmware + Pit at the same time or should I flash pit first and then the ROM?

pit file is flashed with the firmware. choose the right pit for your device! re-partition will be checked automatically when you select the pit file.
still doesn't work unfortunately, don't know what 's happening....
I flashed PIT file alone, it worked fine.
Tried to install anything else, it fails again, all the time...

If you haw acess t dawnload mod you are nhot bricked pleas go and try other pc
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
First, thanks for the info that if I can access the download mode, then the phone is not bricked, I didn't know that, so thanks.
And yes, you were both right, I plugged my phone into my laptop and it worked! THANK YOU.
So the next question is: What could be the issue on my PC? It's not Kies cause it's not installed, and I already uninstalled and reinstalled the Samsung Drivers....
thnx
this is surely NOT a mobile issue if you can enter into download mode.
i had the exact issue a month ago when i had note2.
if you can't try it on another pc, try :
1) uninstall skies completely
2) unisnstall usb drivers
3) reboot the pc
4) connect your s4 in download mode to your pc.
5) let your pc install freah usb drivers
6) start odin and flash
7) if still you get the same error download a different verison of the official rom and try flashing.
i followed the above procedure couple of times and was finally able to install the rom. the issue is either with the drivers or the rom.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
bricked for sure

expirienced exactly same situation with i9300. Able to get to recovery but failed to flash. Tryed everything on PC and on the phone itself. You have to try different odin versions, but in my case it was NAND failure. If you failed to flash PIT your phone is for sure bricked. Sorry.
Got mainboard replacement in my case.
Have you tried putting a rom on the sdcard with an adapter.. And then put it in the phone and flash the zip from recovery?

no but good idea. Actually all the flashing work now, but I still can't boot into the phone! This is madness...
before I couldn't flash anything. Now, I flashed the original BTU ROM, Stock recovery but can't boot into recovery anymore, can't boot into the OS, the only thing that works is the download mode.
Will try to get the phone to a repair thing. I'm gonna try with samsung repair centre first cause the right ROM is installed (original) and the counter is at zero so should be fine with warranty.

good luck at least i just thought it would work by doing it in recovery but yeah... warranty is better.. if not.. then keep trying if they wont replace it
ok I FINALLY could access the stock recovery, did a full wipe and everything is back in order now, works perfectly.
THANKS to all!

Note 3 SM-N9005 Firmware Issue & Device Recognised As 'Samsung GT-S5690'

Hi all,
I've heard great things about this website and joined up hoping to God you could help me. I tried updating the firmare on my phone to 4.4.2 from 4.3 using Odin3 v3.07 and it stopped suddenly with an error message and now my Note 3 continuously displays:
“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“
I have looked extensively through the threads already started but couldn't find a solution particularly as Kies is not recognising my device anymore stating it is an unsupported device, furthermore, 'MobileGo' software is showing the device as being a 'Samsung GT-S5690', instead of Note 3??. I tried Odin to recover back to original firmware but failed both times and phone now stuck on “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“.
My Mobile details are:
Model Number: SM-N9005
Serial Number: RF1DA5NMM5M
This is a log of 2 different attempts using Odin, one to 4.4.2 and the other back to stock:

Thanks, once I have used Odin v3.09 to flash cwm recovery, will I still need to flash back to stock or will it simply work?

You will have to flash stock firmware 4.4 before your phone will work again. Simply flashing cwm will get you to cwm recovery but not a working phone.

Hi, I have found a tutorial on flashing ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.5 but it states:
"Must enable USB Debugging first" and also "Must let Reactivation lock off first", is this absolutely necessary as I can't access my phone, let alone its settings? Can I still proceed with installing ClockworkMod Recovery?

Don't follow that one.
Go here and download the right file for your phone's model, put phone in download mode and flash using odin in ap/pda slot.
Btw, have you tried flashing 4.4 using odin v3.09?
When odin gives you the fail message technically you've already flashed the stock, but for some reason odin doesn't recognise it as a pass. .leave your phone plugged in, reset odin, put your phone into download phone and then flash recovery. . Hey presto your phone will wake up..

I don't think this is the case because when I first tried flashing from 4.3 to 4.4.2 it tried for a few seconds then failed and been stuck on “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“ despite resetting Odin and going back into download mode, tried reflashing but keep getting the 'FAIL' (logs posted in original first post).
Is there any reason why my phone is being detected as 'Samsung GT-S5690' in MobileGo? I'm thinking if Kies could detect it as the Note 3 again my problems would be solved.
I haven't tried Odin v3.09 because to be honest I thought the firmware file once extracted as a RAR file could only be read by Odin v3.07 is that not the case?
Soz everyone

Hi all,
I've heard great things about this website and joined up hoping to God you could help me. I tried updating the firmare on my phone to 4.4.2 from 4.3 using Odin3 v3.07 and it stopped suddenly with an error message and now my Note 3 continuously displays:
“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“
I have looked extensively through the threads already started but couldn't find a solution particularly as Kies is not recognising my device anymore stating it is an unsupported device, furthermore, 'MobileGo' software is showing the device as being a 'Samsung GT-S5690', instead of Note 3??. I tried Odin to recover back to original firmware but failed both times and phone now stuck on “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“.
My Mobile details are:
Model Number: SM-N9005
Serial Number: RF1DA5NMM5M
This is a log of 2 different attempts using Odin, one to 4.4.2 and the other back to stock:

looks like u r trying to flash 4.3 & 4.4 one after one, now dont try 4.3 at all, make sure kies is not running in baground, disable antivirus if any.
I had the the same issue with kies myself, tried every trick in the book before I tried the method I mention above.. maybe it's an issue with the phone itself, or a certain batch of phones?

The writing of stock 4.3 fails since your bootloader was updated by your failed attempt. You will probably never be able to write a 4.3 stock image.
The writing of 4.4 NB1 fails since probably it is for a slightly different region with a slightly different partitioning scheme. Ideally install the 4.4 for your specific model/region. If that fails you might need to write some 4.4 with repartition - there are some threads around (I think also the Hong-Kong version had serious problems with 4.4 because of that).

I saw the Hong Kong thread and to be honest got lost reading the posts, i'm beginning to think this is going to be a task beyond my capabilities as not the most technologically minded of people and need to be spoon fed. Is there an easy way to find out if I have a Hong Kong version phone? I brought it from e-cell on Ebay a couple of months ago?
If using a different version of Odin such as v3.09 once the firmware file is extracted where does it go as v3.07 is goes in the PDA section?
Many thanks

There is AP in 3.09 in place of PDA.

I don't think there is an easy way to see what the original version was as long as you can no longer boot the phone. I think the EU model is generally listed as N9005ZWE while the HK is N9005ZKA and that might be written somewhere on the box. Also it might be a different partitioning model even if it is not a Hong-Kong model.

I've taken the phone to a repair shop recommended by Samsung themselves, they've had it a week now and I rang yesterday and they said it is the first Hong Kong Note 3 they've received and are waiting to hear from Samsung as to how to repair it. BIG YAWN!
Will keep you posted - miss my phone

Help Dead S5 G900F after trying downgrade

Hello...
Please if someone could help me and guide me to rescue my brand new S5 G900F :crying:
Starting to get desperate here... as I did not backup my EFS was going to do it after rooting
Here are the steps I did to get into trouble:
Upgraded to Stock Poland G900FXXU1BNL2 Loolipop to the phone everything was fine... except some app crashes as Facebook so decided to return to 4.4
So put the phone into recovery mode did a full wipe and loaded G900FXXU1ANJ1 from poland too with odin
The phone booted and looked all ok so turned it off after first boot withouth even touching the language settings.
Put again into dowload and decided to run CF-Auto to root the phone
Here everything started and Fail! message appeared at ODIN.
So turned of the phone and now the phone auto boots with message "Firmware upgrade encounter an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So put the phone in download mode and try to put again stock 4.4 G900FXXU1ANJ1 again but got fail message during system.img.ext4 writting multiple times.
Then tryed to go back to Loolipop same issue multiple times...
Then finally try with lollipop after restarting computer, changing usb port, unziping again the firmware, etc...but from off state removed battery then putting back, then connecting the usb cable so from the "Firmware upgrade issue" screen hit the start and the firmware finally succedd the process.
The phone boot normally ....but I'm such and IDIOT that I said ok why not get back to 4.4 as it worked first time...
So put the phone back into download mode and try to load 4.4 stock rom G900FXXU1ANJ1 again but FAIL! appeared again and now I cant get pass it even after trying what solved the issue before...
Please help ideas etc ???
Now if I try to load 5.0 G900FXXU1ANJ1 it fail at the begining of system.img.ext4 writting...
If I try with 4.4 G900FXXU1ANJ1 from "Firmware Upgrade issue" screen the best I could get was half of the system.img.ext4 writting once before getting FAIL message again but most time it fails at the begining too.
These is what I'm getting from Odin now every test...

SOLVED!
GREAT NEWS
Solved myself on the last try before heading to bed crying hehehe
What I did for the record to others...and dont actually as why it worked...but it did...
Leaved the phone without battery almost half hour, then shutdown computer, unziped the 5.0 stock rom once again to have one fresh copy, open odin loaded rom wait till md5 check, then change usb port once again, then put battery to phone, then connect cable as soon as odin recognized it hit start and pray.
WORKED...
So the phone restarted as normal etc but there was the app updating screen...after it the phone was like dumb and some poland message only displaying. So turn it of, put on recovery, did cache clear and then complete wipe and restarted, Now everything is back to normal...
Phone now on 5.0 and staying so at least I find a way to backup my efs folder and stop sacking from these time mistake. I will only downgrade if safer method available or teste or maybe updating to the new 5.0 G900FXXU1BNL7 that just get out and forgeting about the downgrade well what I wanted was to open LTE bands... maybe some day...also available on 5.0 LTE band opening
For know happy having it back working
Good that you solved it and even better that you explained how you solved it! :good:
Seems like your phone wants you to stay on 5.0, hehe.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Looks like he wants 5.0 stock untouched really bad...
As today I had another episode with it... LOL
It got BNL7 over OTA yesterday after all everything went perfect... but today I try to root it using CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f and Odin 3.09 after enabling USB debug, etc. just like instructions but at the end of process FAIL!
Had to put again stock BNL5 to recover it.
Don't know what to do or I should wait for update on the CF-Auto to use it. In the manual I found said it should work on BNL7 but looks like it does not.

S4 GT-I9506 is stuck on Firmware upgrade encountered an issue

this model seems difficult (gt-i9506)
i tried to root it via towelroot, then kingoroot, these failed but then now the reboot is stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
ive tried Kies firmware recovery but the download fails after 80%,
ive tried the sammobile download the ROM this too fails, network drops out tried this 3 times
i want to try Kies emergency recovery but cant find any recovery code
im stuck i dont know what to do now been researching for 4 hours cant find solution :crying:
could anyone please help?? am going crazy over this spent 2 days researching and finding nothing
Download a complete stock rom and flash it with ODIN. You have to uninstall KIES beforehand (they are conflicting).
thanks for reply...
i took kies off and this is what Odin is giving me...

does this highlight anything that could be going wrong?
Not sure... but looks like the rom is not for that device. Are you sure you have a i9506?
on samsmobile GT-I9506/VAU/ Roms (i cant post link)
well the first ROM was 4.2 android (bottom of ROM list), so then tried 4.4 (top of ROM list) android it failed again but with different Odin errors...

can anyone see the fault here...?? no error came up on the device, only on Odin this time
Did you restart after KIES de-installation? Was USB driver successfully missing (so you had to install one manually for ODIN)? If not, you probably still have drivers/files running from KIES.
Otherwise, try a different computer to double check its not the system.
If you originally updated to Android 4.4.x or later on this device, you cannot install 4.3.x or lower as Knox within the bootloader will actively prevent Odin from functioning. As to Odin, make sure you're using the original cable, are not using a hub, have Kies disabled or uninstalled, and use a different USB port. Odin sometimes is picky about the ports it uses.
If you can get the ROM issue resolved, use CF-Autoroot to root, keeping in mind that you will trip the Knox flag in doing so. Towelroot and other one-click root methods don't work on your device.
FIXED IT!!!!!!! :laugh::silly::good::cyclops:
Moved all operations to a different PC running XP with no kies on it
The error still occurred "write fail"
So instead i tried Odin 3.09 instead of 3.07 but most of all i changed usb cables, found an original cable off my mates Nokia
then boom!!! she starting writing!!!
Thankyou so much you legends, you are now my best friends forever!!!
Strangely the new flash, all my old previous data & apps are still on there??? somehow the network is not locked either which i was fearing being a vodafone ROM
still want to root it though
Flashing a ROM through Odin doesn't wipe the data partition, which is why your apps are untouched.
