[Q] Emergency Mode (ugh!) - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I was going back to stock on Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 [SM-530NU], my device was in odin v1.85 reflashing my firmware and then the device unplugged on accident and interrupted the process. The error is "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I installed Kies 2.6 (just sits there) and 3.0 (not supported) and it wont detect my device.
I have T530NUUEU1ANK1_T530NUXAR1ANK1_HOME.tar.md5 but I can't use ODIN and Kies is not responding much.
At this point, I dunno what to do.

Use Odin 3.07 or 3.09, you can grab them from the OP in this thread

even though I can't get into download mode?

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.

ICS update corrupt help

Hi, i was down loading ICS upgrade yesterday too my 7150 tab via Kies all seemed to go well,tab rebooted but camera would not work and the system seemed erratic so i connected to pc again, pc would not recognise the tab so i opened kies and kies would not connect, i reinstalled kies and tried again with no luck,so i turned off the tab and went into download mode, the tab came up with a screen saying, Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, select recovery mode in kies and try again.
When i press the power button to shut down it restarts again after 5secs, so it will not turn off
Kies asks for a code to start the recovery, i have no idea what code it means.
As i cannot connect to kies is there anything else i can do.
All help is most welcome.
Thanks Brian.
PS is there a way to go back to 3.2

Have you tried doing it through Odin.
You should:
Install cwm through Odin
Do a full wipe in recovery
Install HC/ICS through Odin
Reinstall cwm through Odin
Root through recovery

HELP: I bricked my Note 3 (N900). Forget to enable USB debugging before flashing!

I have just bricked my newly-bought Note 3 (N900).
I wanted to flash the latest version of Note 3 via Odin 3.08 (from 4.3 to 4.4.2). I made a big mistake as I didn't enable the "USB DEBUGGING" mode before go to download mode.
I clicked start in Odin and it show FAIL!!!
After I restart the phone all I see on the screen is the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I tried to recover it through Kies, but the it shows the phone is not connected or not support. Meaning the Kies cannot communicate with the phone at all.
I also tries to flash in Odin many times, but it still fails.
Please!!! Can anyone here give me some solution.
Thanks.

I tried many time already, but still fail. I think because the usb debugging mode was not enable at the first place.
Thank anyway.

Usb debugging has nothing to do with it failing when you're using odin. Try a different version of odin.
A simple reflash via Odin 1.85 or 3.07/3.04 will fix it.

USB Debugging has nothing to do with odin flash, make sure while flashing below steps.
1. Update boot loader is selected in odin.(Edit:for single file not required)
2. Disable antivirus.
3. make sure note 3 drivers are installed.
4. kies not running in bag round.
5.Clear Factory Data & Catch before flash.
if all of those step fail..
try to flash ur rom on other computer or laptop

You've indeed saved my day... I've been searching high and low, installing various versions of Odin3, downloading tonnes of tar, tarmd5, zip, etc.!
Pardon me for my ignorance, but I never intended to root my cell phone in the first place. I was merely following what Kies suggested, "A New Firmware, Wanna Upgrade?" Oh, truly? Gee, thanks! And **** it, it screwed up my GT-N7000, saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." and my cell phone never saw the daylight again, regardless how I started it, factory-reset mode wasn't possible at all, only download mode could be started up. Tried with various methods of Odin3 on multiple ROMS, to no avail, until I read your short reply. BAM! (As you put it...)
Thanks a bunch, mate!
I have a similar issue with my sm n900. Lost my imei and baseband, i needed to flash a custom rom to get my baseband before working on the imei, after flashing via odin phone boots to samsung logo then goes blank. And recovery says E failed to mount efs . But i need to use adb on my pc. So how can i possibly enabe usb debugging in order for adb to find my device?
Flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com via Odin does not require USB debugging. Flashing a stock ROM will flash everything, including modem, bootloader, and recovery.
My N900 Bricked
I am unable to Go to download mode not even the charging symbol too
no Luck at all phone is not starting need a Unbrick or help me how to get it sorted
galaxy Note 3 Sm N900
Tried to open the phone to short the wire but the shorting mentioned in all the imagees doesnt match the design of the phone internal
can some one tell me which points to short to start the phoen in Ext sd mode
or any help would help

ODIN still gives error..
In Kies select Tools -> Emergency firmware recovery
This will identify the appropriate firmware for your device (by serial no I think), wipe your device clean and install the latest available firmware. It is the 'nuclear option' when all else fails.
It rescued me from a brick once, but I ended up on new bootloader so tripped Knox fuse when I rooted. Annoying, but tolerable to get the device working again.

[Q] Did I just brick my s4?

Hi, I have a rooted galaxy s4 LTE with android 4.3, and was going to update to 4.4.2 via odin 3.09, but during the middle of the installation, I heard a usb disconnection sound, and a red light saying fail appeared on odin. I waited a while, but nothing, and when I restarted my phone, I got that message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" with some odin console messages on top.
I don't know why I can't recover with kies, nothing shows up on the list, and I tried to flash again with odin, using the same rom, but it failed.
what should I do?
I downloaded the official rom from sammobile.
thanks in advance

i had the same problem before! it was the usb ports in my pc ! i changed pc, i used my laptopt and everything were ok! just test another usb port or another pc using odin and original rom and everything should be ok! Dont panic ur phone is ok
remember always to run odin as administrator
hey! yeah, apparently it was those front usb ports, both of them weren't working properly, when I connected to another usb behind the computer it worked fine installing the same rom through odin.
phew!
thanks
