Hi,I'm new here and i have a problem my phone is showing the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.".I don't know how to fix this:crying:.
my phones status in odin mode isroduct name:SM-G7102
Current binary:Custom
System status:Custom
i was running the Indian NG7 4.4.2 rom.i cant flash the G4 rom because it will only show an error.i think i need to flash a G7 rom instead of G4 am i right or wrong?and if someone can reply i will be very grateful.
If you already had CWM installed earlier, flash it again using odin. Once done you will be able to turn on your phone with whatever version of rom u have installed already.
thank you for replying but everything is all wiped EVERYTHING Boot,system,etc i was running the stock android 4.4.2 it was only rooted i can flash cwm through odin after that waht can i do?

heyy bro same problem here...although i flashed the stock recovery and binary went back to Official but status was custom... tried a lot to flash the G4 firmware but couldn't.... hence i gave it to service centre..wont get warranty.. they said if they succeed by updating the software then it will be $3.27 else they will unroot which may cost $12.26.....
i just want my phone back to life:crying:
Yeah we have the same problem so did you manage to fix it? I think to fix it via odin we need the official NG7 rom from samsung but they haven't released it in sammobile or at samsung updates
post some screen shot
say ur problem in briefly.. how u get this problem?
NG7 release. ......hurry

Initialize your grand 2 firmware using kies. It will install the latest firmware but you will lose root. [emoji4]

I am sorry if this has been asked here earlier.
The only s4 available in my country is the 9500.
I rooted the phone after i bought solely for the reason that I can delete the bloatware.
I happened to com across this MOD which makes the statusbar transparent.
Once I did that, the phone started acting funny.
I want to start over with the official stock rom.
I tried doing that by installing the official stock firmware using ODIN 3.07. Then wiped data and cache from the recovery.
It still boots with the transparent statusbar. Feels like the system files are unchanged.
Anyway I can get a fresh offcial stock rom on the device ?
Any help is of great help.

Hi,
Look HERE
I think you need to factory reset as well.
So, back up your stuff first.
I used the same tutorial to flash my phone with an official firmware. The only thing I changed was the firmware file because theres a newer version available.. the latest stock firmware was downloaded at sammobile..
please help. Is it necessary to reset the binary to 0 using triangle away for the firmware to install properly ??

You have some options:
1. Flash a custom firmware through custom recovery.
2. Download the latest firmware and flash it through ODIN. For know what firmware is the best for you, conect it to Kies and tell me the 3 letters close to ur CSC

Does flashing firmware through odin void warrenty?
there is no way to get official update via software update or kies?
its just the update didt arrived for your country and there is 2 solutions :
1- wait till the update arrive
2- download & falsh the Update VIA Odin
if you flash it with odin nothing wrong will happen i just recommend you to backup everything :good:

Hong Kong ROMs are for 16 GB devices, your phone might be 32GB.
If that is so, download another region ROM and flash that one.

I believe it is in need of repartition. Some partition from the Rom you're trying to install exceeds current partition size.
So either find the correct update for your region (which I strongly advise) Either try it by ticking repartition( do it your own risk) which is not advisable as you might end up bricking the phone.
You need a pit file for repartition.

The best solution for you is to initialize your phone using Kies 3... However, this requires a running phone, not a bootlooping one... Use a firmware that works with you first!
Install it, connect your phone and do the initialization from the firmware menu... This should install the latest available firmware to your device while cleaning up the whole mess....
Good luck

Send it to Samsung... They definitely know how to put Kitkat on your device!
Are u sure you are downloading right firmware for your device since there are few variants around here, and mayb kitkat is not released for your variant ...
As i can see on samsung update page there is only one 4.4.4 for your device variant (s3ve3gUB)
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300I
It is : I9300IUBUBNJ1 ,so try flashing that one

I am working on the same exact phone and I have having a hard time finding the right firmware for this phone.
It is stuck on recovery. I get a could not do normal boot and back to recovery. So I was planning on flashing a stock rom to get it out of recovery. Every how to page talks about going into setting to find your firmware version. This makes it hard when you cannot get into phone settings.
If you ever find the right Rom for this type of phone Please reply. Every rom site I have visited does not have the correct one.
This is most probably a hardware issue. Something on the main board got fried or some other glitch took place in a hardware component. Send it to Samsung for a repair or better buy a new phone.
---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------
Another idea is to use Smart Switch. You don't need a running phone this time. Just choose the firmware initialization option and enter your device model and serial number, and you're good to go. If this didn't work, send it to Samsung or give it a goodbye kiss.

When I was in kitkat I did not check the bootloader version and flashed older version which tripped the knox counter. That was why I I asked you to check the bootloader .
If you flashed the correct firmware via odin, believe that the firmware download has no problem, and flashing odin did not give any errors and yet you still have some problem, then your problem likely to be a hardware failure rather than software.
check the checksum of the downloaded firmware, flashing from different usb port or different computer, flashing with different version of odin, etc.. are the tries you can do.

Could you tell me your bootloader version of your phone and also give me the link of the lollipop firmware that you downloaded from the sammobile.
if it is possible could you tell me what message you have when you flash that lollipop firmware via odin.
If your phone is on lollipop, flashing kit-kat or jelly beam wont help and it could harm your phone.
