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.

Hi I installed the root for my s 4 i9505 but i used the i9500 and now it is stuck on the kies thing. I was wondering if there was anything i could do and also if someone has the pit partition for the h3g stock rom i could try that way. Any help is appreciated.
Try to flash back your stock Rom with odin, should be fine.

i have tried that but it keeps on saying there is no pit partition. Do you know where i could get the pit file?
you don't need to get complicated. just download an official firmware that is Odin compatible, and then install in odin (open is as PDA).
before that, shut down the phone (keep power pressed). restart in download mode (volume down, menu then power), with cable plugged out. you will go to the download screen. connect the cable, start odin... and there you are... (at least this is what I did with mine when I got stacked to the kies screen)

I don't know exactly what that would do.
You cannot flash another kernel, as there is none yet.
You need to be in download mode for kies to recognize (volume down, home, power). It should work to do Emergency firmware recovery in Tools.
Anyway, I am quite sure that running from Odin works. Have you tried to follow the steps I mentioned?

Repartition is supposedly going to wipe all data on your phone, but it's also a death button that makes you ODIN freeze and making your phone not boot up so proceed with extreme caution
It uses the .pit file to repartition the space the pit file holds how much to allocate to /system, /data. If you leave it blank and flash, it'll drop the files your flashing into the existing 'slots'. If you select the pit file and repartition, it'll reallocate.
Only select that if the instructions for your rom require you to do it.
Thanks it works. I put the usb lead at the back of my pc and installed the stock rom thanks for your help guys

I was supposed to unpack the tarfile from the zip, but since my computer decided to not recognize the zip and using the rar icon I thought it was the tar itself and flashed it only to realise my mistake as Odin said the flash failed. As of right now, every time I start my device, it says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and shows a picture that looks like *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Kies emergency recovery does not recognize the device.
Trying to start the phone in recovery mode takes me to the *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Download mode > Flashing a stock rom = fail (Yes, it's unpacked this time)
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I got the official firmware into PDA in Odin 3.07 this time around and connected my phone to the computer after I loaded PDA.

yes u need the pit file while flashing
My internal memory was getting full and so I was trying to clean up some junk. Well, I must have deleted too much!!! After trying to reboot, I received error message "Could not do normal boot"and it goes into odin. I tried to use odin to flash it back to stock, but no luck. It appears like I need a bootloader in order to solve this issue. Any suggestions? Thank you so very much.

Your phone is not bricked if you are getting system error messages or able to boot to download (Odin) mode. Bricked means that a phone responds the same as a brick does. So unless you have a red clay brick that also boots to download mode..
To fix your phone, go to download mode and flash the full stock firmware image for your model /carrier. You should do this in conjunction with the correct PIT file for your phone. Many people skip the PIT file and still prevail. But it's an unnecessary risk to skip it and you would do so at your own peril.
You say that flashing stock didn't work, but you provided no details whatsoever. You don't need a new bootloader, you need to use Odin correctly. To help spot where you are going astray, you need to describe step by step how you are using Odin, the name of the stock firmware file you are flashing, your phone model and verbatim, what you see on the Odin screen. A screen shot or photograph of the download mode screen on the phone would help too.

I tried using the "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit" along with "CF-Auto-Root-kltemetropcs-kltemetropcs-smg900t1.tar.md5", on "Odin3-v3.07" and I get, what looks like the download mode, except it states in the upper right hand corner (in red letters) "Could not do normal boot". The only way out is to do a battery pull. It will allow me to go into "Download mode", as the second picture indicates, and Odin states stays on "Reset". The message it states is as follows: D:0/006> NAND Write Start!!, <ID:0/006> cache.img.ext4, <ID:0/006> RQT_CLOSE !!, <ID:0/006> RES OK !!, <ID:0/006> Removed!!, <ID:0/006> Remain Port .... 0, <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0), <ID:0/006> Removed!!. Then I once again get the "Could not do normal boot" error message.
Any Suggestions? I greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.

You aren't following the suggestions made earlier. You are taking shortcuts that you think won't matter and introducing all kinds of variables. And failing. If you really want to get your phone working, you should follow the advice rather than taking liberties and winging it.
Flash a stock firmware image, not a modified image intended for rooting. First you need a stable system - you can root afterwards. Make sure it is a 100% stock tar for your carrier and use Odin 3.09 instead of the older version you have. Flash the firmware .tar file and PIT file at the same time, with the PIT, F. reset and auto reboot checked in Odin. If the Odin flash fails, try a different USB cable and port. A different computer if you need too.
Also you gave no details about the PIT file, other than the file name. We cannot tell if that is the correct file for your phone. The PIT file needs to match your phone model, ROM size and carrier. There is a XDA thread that should have the correct file. Probably the one that I uploaded here.
As well, if you get an Odin flash failed message, do not close or reset Odin. Instead pull the battery on your phone, replace it and then boot to download mode (press and hold volume down, then home, then the power button). Then try flashing again. The flash will inevitably succeed the second time, even though it failed at first.

What am I doing wrong????
I followed your advise and still no luck. You claim that my phone is not "bricked" but yet I did everything that you recommended and I'm still in the same place. I downloaded your "PIT.tar" file and had to change the name, because "Odin3 v3.09" would not recognize it. I put the pit file and AP file (AND YES, it is a full STOCK image) at the same time, tried it with "re-partition checked" and it failed! I tried it with out and it went through, but I am not able to get any further. Still getting "could not do normal boot"
"You state that I am taking short cut". Could you let me know what I am missing or at least direct me to a tutorial that does not show any short cuts? I get as far as seeing the "red android" figure, with and eye patch and it states that it will restart in 10 seconds. After reboot, I get the same message "Could not do normal boot". :crying:
By the way, would it matter that the pit file that you directed me to is for tmobile and this is a Metro pcs phone? Thank you.

And you still aren't doing so. You are not describing what you are doing step by step. You are not giving us file names so that we know which version of stock firmware you tried to install. Or whether it was really stock. You didn't paste the Odin log - what you saw onscreen. You pepper us with a summary and a few details and expect us to divine what has happened. It doesn't work that way. No one can help you constructively if you refuse to provide abundant information about your situation.
The best you can hope for is drive by guesses or perhaps someone patient that might try to cajole information out of you. We'd all like to help you, but you're making it difficult. It would be in your best interests to provide exhaustive detail because those details are the key thing that will enable people to help you.

Well, I am not too sure how much more can be described from all of my last post, but here goes:
I power up the phone and I get a quick flash, before what looks like the download screen, appears and up at the top left hand corner the message reads "Could not do normal boot" and the under the green android figure are the words "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
I then continue to do a battery pull and I proceed to go into download mode (Holding vol. down button, home button and power button at the same time. I get Warning message and at bottom it states "Use volume up: continue, volume down: Cancel(restart phone). I push the volume up button. I am now in down load mode. If you look at the sceen at this point, this is how my SM-G900T1 is booting up, EXCEPT for those little red words at the top. In normal download screen, it states "ODIN"MODE". When I boot up my SM-G900T1, those little red words at the top say "Could not do normal boot" instead of ODIN.
Once I am in download mode, I proceed to use the files that you recommended (the .pit file and the AP file). I load up the files into Odin and I click, start. It begins to work and it then says, "RESET" while it is blue. My phone restarts and I see the red android figure with an eye patch and at the bottom it says, restart in 10 seconds.
the phone proceeds to restart and it goes back to that error message, which looks like the download mode, with the words up at the top , in red letters state "Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE"
in white letters:
Product Name: SM-G900T1
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Cusatom
Knox Warranty void: 0x1 (4)
Qualcomm Secureboot: enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P!
UDC START
my phone goes no further than this and have kept it connected to odin. Now I look up at ODIN and it shows PASS!! in a green box with a time of 02:10. But my phone will not boot up. I restart and I get the message once again"Could not do normal boot"[/LIST
Hopefully someone could help. Thank you.
Well the important thing is that you can get to download mode (aka Odin mode) one way or the other.
Odin is well known for being fussy with cables, USB ports and other details, so don't panic if you get a failed Odin write or two. I also explained how to get around that in most cases.. leave Odin open on your PC screen and pull the phone battery again, go back to Odin mode on the phone and then press start on the Odin screen to try flashing a second time.

You are getting better with details (thanks) and I'm sure that this is frustrating to you. But you are nowhere near telling us step by step what you are doing. for a start, you didn't name the stock firmware image file that you were using, something that I specifically requested. So without meaning to offend you.. you aren't paying attention to details.
By "step by step", I meant a description of each step you took. For example listing each button you press in Odin.. telling us exactly what you type into each box and so forth. You may not see the point of that, but remember that we are not standing over your shoulder. And one wrong action can ruin your write. So that kind of step by step detail is extraordinarily valuable in troubleshooting.
Anyway, there are many ways to go about anything. Since you can get to download mode and your Knox bit is 0x1, I'd suggest installing or reinstalling TWRP, so that you can reliably boot to a stable recovery mode. From there you can look at almost anything, fix things, install custom ROMS, etc.
If you want to continue with Odin instead, then make sure that you are using a real stock .tar or .tar.md5 image, use a different USB cable and try again. If you are persistent, it will work.

any idea where i can get the PIT files for a metro s5?? i found the TAR file and used that in ODIN and it wont get past the metro splash screen. sits there for hours and gets REALLY hot. I tried doing a factory reset in recovery but it fails and reboots. Im hoping maybe a PIT file/repartition would do it i cant find a damn pit file anywhere. model number is G900T1. I used the stock firmware from the site below.
http://samsung-updates.com/details/26200/Galaxy_S5_SM-G900T1/SM-G900T1/TMB/G900T1UVU1ANCI.html
For future reference or anyone else reading this post. If you are running a stock ROM on a SM-G900T, even with root "memory low" alerts can be ignored becouse internal storage has a memory partition to act as emulated memory. In addition, android automatically unloads the oldest unused items from memory. I get these messages all the time, "internal memory usage exceeds maximum limit" or some such. They appear in the status bar without toasts, so their not too annoying. Yes you can clear a lot of stuff out with root,... But first understand your device AND what you intend to remove. If you don't understand it yet then leave it until you research it. Also, I recommend that you research your device before you buy it. I did, thats why my SM-G900T1 is a recent purchase, instead of going for the S6. Now if I could just find out how to root it without a computer when the kernel is dated Nov 10 2014.....

Hey all, new Android user here. I just rooted my device with no problems, but it dies and I recharge it, but it just goes to the "samsung" screen, and will vibrate 3 times quickly followed by another about 1/2-1 second later, then repeat every ~15-20 seconds. I am able to run it in ODIN (download) mode. I was told I need a new rom/firmware, can someone show me how to do this without ruining my device? I didn't save a backup because I assumed I would have no problems
I have had 0 problems before this, and even after root I didn't experience a problem.
Model: SM_G530T
FYI I am a mac user so have downloads be .dmg's.
Thanks in advance! If you need more info, tell me!

pls help I want my phone back
You'll find your stock firmware on samsung-firmware.org
It'll be tar.md5 format, perfectly normal.
Add it into the AP/PDA in Odin and it'll flash fine.

teach me how to upload to odin pls
Make sure all your drivers are installed, turn your phone off, plug the USB into the computer.
Start Odin (right click, properties, run as administrator and in xp compatability mode)
Put your phone into download ode (VOLUME UP, HOME, POWER)
Plug your phone into the computer. Odin will say "added" in it'd output box.
Press the button PDA or AP (depends on version) then select the firmware you just downloaded (tar or md5).
Once loaded into Odin, press start, it'll flash everything and then restart your phone.
Let me know if you need any more help!!
Edit:
Please ensure you are flashing the correct ROM for your phone. Bad firmware or recovery images can cause some bad problems.

Is there a version of http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117 for mac? Could you give links to everything that I need to download? (I got this https://samsung-firmware.org/downlo...Mobile)/400h/TMB/G530TUVU1AOF8/G530TTMB1AOF8/) Also remember that my phone can't turn on, gets stuck at the T-Mobile part.

Not that I'm aware of, but Google is your friend, friend.
Home + Volume Down + Power, that starts your phone in download mode which Odin uses to push software.
Your phone needs to be in download mode to do anything at all with Odin.
Also, why not just spin up a virtual machine and use the windows Odin, Windows is much better for all of this sort of stuff.
