Connection problem with almost bricked phone

Hello
I have a big problem with my note. today i wanted to change rom from imilka's AOSP ICS [IMM76D/4.0.4] to newest version of rocket. after flashing Abbys 4.2 kernel I missclicked to reboot button, after reboot phone got stuck and starting screen "Galaxy Note" I can even enter recovery, but can't do anything because if I try to move up or down then cwm got rebooted. Download mode works also BUT... The main problem is that after that fail with flashing I can't connect to pc. I tried with another cable/another pc/ reinstalled drivers and kies and still pc can't recoginze this device. any solutions? thanks in advance

If while flashing with Odin you receive an error message or got stuck on factoryfs the only thing you can do is to go to Samsung Assistance..

SOLLUTION for Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please selected recovery mode in

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.

[Q] Help please!

Hi all,
I have an I9505 from O2 and I was in Odin mid-flash throwing on Philz Touch when the cable got disconnected (kids) and now I'm getting an error on my phone I can't seem to undo. It's showing me a screen as soon as it begins to boot that reads "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery modde in Kies and try again.". I've tried running Kies as it suggests and my computer doesn't even register the phone connecting to begin with let alone Kies noticing the connection. I've tried to go into recovery mode (vol up + power) but it just gives me the same message. Please tell me I didn't brick this thing... is there any voodoo I can do to fix this? Thanks for any help you can give.

pull out your battery for a minute, re-insert it, boot into download mode, reflash recovery

I tried but no luck, the message comes up as soon as the phone receives power.

you meant that you can not boot in odin mode?
if you can, what odin says when flashing?

Can you still get in download mode? You may need to flash the whole firmware again then flash the recovery after. I've had the same problem on an s2 in the past with my son pulling the cable halfway through

Would a USB jig work?

You have to boot to download mode and install full firmware through Odin.
You can download your carriers firmware from Sammobile.com

Strike that, it worked! I've been at this for hours with no luck but I guess the phone gods are now in my favour. Unfortunately when I try to flash with Odin, I get failure messages and my phone stays in the Downloading part. Any advise?

Aslong as odin says fail or pass and you definitely do not have a progress bar on your phone after odin shows the result then you will be safe to unplug amd reboot the phone manually. If it passes on odin it usually reboots itself

[Q] AT&T Galaxy S4 will not boot into recovery! Help!

I attempted to flash a new modem into the Omega 7 ROM through Mobile Odin so that I could get working mobile data.
The flash was successful, and the phone rebooted.
However, upon rebooting I was welcomed with the "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone."
ODIN will not work. The process to reflash fails at "apnhlos" mark. I have no idea what this means.
Can anyone PLEASE help me?
UPDATE: Problem has been fixed. I was able to reboot into Download Mode, plug in to Kies on my PC, and reinstall the official AT&T update. This did unroot my phone, but putting it all back was not a problem.
My advice to those using locked bootloader phones (AT&T and Verizon) is to make sure a project can actually be done on your phone.

Download Kies for your PC, boot into download mode, and reinstall the Official Firmware. It'll unroot your phone and set you back to ground zero, but the phone will safely boot and you can restart from there.
