You also didn't bother to post your question in "General". Familiarize yourself with the rules.

If you can still go to download mode , you have to flash the original rom that your mobile came with .
Yes make sure you are in ODIN/Download mode on the tablet.
Just in case any of you didn't see in the other ICS thread (though by now there are probably more than just a handful), I encountered a failure upgrading via Mobile ODIN pro on my ROOTED stock HC.
Luckily I was able to get to Download mode and I used Odin and it flashed fine. Just make sure the re-partition setting is not ticked.
Use mobile Odin, it root ics rom after u flash it)
OH MY GOD! WTF IS THIS STILL DOING IN DEVELOPMENT!?

I've the same problem! Odin just wont finish his installation :S I tryed everythin even flash hc back. But that won't finish at all! Maybe it's the driver? I don't installed kies but it does load in odin! On this moment I'm gonna try to install the driver's and try it again!
if you are plugged into a USB hub try plugging right into your computer. that was my issue with failed flashing. drove me nuts for hours.
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.

Same issue!
My SGN3 is frozen in the middle of flashing this via odin. . The blue progress bar has been stopped for 15 minutes now.Odin is reading " "cache.img.ext4" and isnt progressing beyond that. Any ideas what my immediate next step should be?
UPDATE:
I pulled the plug, and get the big red "Fail" box in odin. Now my phone says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. "
I'm so screwed. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this stage.
Thanks!

You can rerun ODIN in that mode, just try it again with another USB port/cable and turn off Kies in Task Manager.

I second this because I am HIGH on Android.
Try using the original USB3 cable that came with it. If you can help it don't use a USB hub either, these can cause problems (past personal experience)
Dear Friends if you have encountered the CWM issue with odin and message firmware encountered an issue please recovery mode in kies..... you have to hold the three keys again to get back to download mode but you need to reinstall the firmware with odin ....firmware available at Sammobile.com. I did'nt find any other solution but reinstalling firmware brought my device in normal condition.
Hello, there
I tried rooting my device while that it got stuck. Now I have the problem "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". To solve the problem I tried using firmware recovery and firmware upgrade and installation but each time I got error from Kies such as "sm-n900 does not support initialization", "device is not responding", ..... etc
Now, my alternative try is using Odin. I need to know my android version to download its corresponding firmware version. :|
How can I know while my device is stuck showing the black screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."?
I do appreciate your help in advance
I tried this link to check my firmware
//w w w.sammobile.com / firmwares /2
but the problem is I got my phone online (Unlocked and international version)
