Hi,
Today I wanted to update my Galaxy S via Kies and I get "Update Fail". From then my phone won't start, won't boot, won't do anything. On screen appears a phone with exclamation mark and a PC. I tried vol down + home + power but that symbol
won't disappear.
You can see the exact symptomes if you will search on youtube "Re: Samsung galaxy s upgrade FROYO 2.2 fail ! ! HELPPP "
Any solutions?
I would be grateful

In Kies select "tools", "emergence firmware recovery"....follow on screen instructions
This happened to me more than once.
Just pull out your battery and push the powerbutton for 3 seconds.
Now put the battery in, start in downloadmode and flash via odin
Time for a custom rom if you ask me...
You will never look back trust me...
Custom ROMS are always problematic and the OP is not asking about custom or stock roms..
@gabi Whenever such a situation occurs, just reinsert the battery and enter the phone to download mode and flash again and make sure your USB connection is solid and you are flashing with the correct files.
First of all.. that's a load of crap..
2nd.. he is using kies, not odin .. so what correct files?
Facepalm.

I think crap is in your brain
We know that he was using KIES but as Timmey806 advised him in the 3rd post to use Odin for convenience, So I was talking about Odin and the firmware files you dumb-bell.

Also you are able to flash a stock firmware with odin but the OP has to find the right firmeware on his own.
I just gave a very usefull tip ;-)
@OP: Did it work for you?

You would do better reading rather than flashing as you dont understand the basics and are just making matters worse .
Install any stock firmware to get the phone into a working state .
If that fails take it to a service centre .

Use USB Dongle Jig See - > eBay.co.uk.
Its sense thats required not a dongle .
Sense to follow instructions sense not to jumping from Root to Kies to Odin to a custom rom all the time totally ignoring instructions . A man sets out determined to brick his phone why ??

Hey there!
My gf has a Samsung Galaxy Y and it suddenly started receiving multiple duplicates of every SMS sent to her.
The phone is completely unmodified and stock in every possible way.
3 days ago the phone was sent to phone shop for service and it seems they flashed it.
Today the phone was received and it still has the same problem.
Network operator claims they see no problems on their side..
What can i do?
Hmm unusual problem
Well I admit I don't know the reason y this is happening but I know flashing stock rom via Odin will help if it is a software defect
Hit thanks if I helped
No wait try a factory reset and see if that doesn't help then flash stock rom via odin

i suppose the factory reset was the phone shop's way because we received the phone back with
no installed apps and phonebook/sms/everything deleted..
i will try Odin as soon as i get my hands on the phone, any good tutorials for it?

Install the latest verson of kies on you computer.
Then in kies under "Tools" choose "firmware upgrade and initialisation".
Then give you model number "SM-N910?", next give serial number of the phone (you can find that on the sticker behind the battery in your phone).
Then you get a message that the "device can be initialised to its original setting"
Press ok and ok again. Then put your phone in download mode and connect to the computer and press "start upgrade".
Not working @dewingerd
Kies doesnt detect my phone. Bt drivers are installed correctly. It only opens in downloading mode

Happened to me also 2 days ago.
Your mobile only can enter download mode ? but when u try to go to recovery or just power it , nothing happened , right ??
Well , you should do as @dewingerd said carefully do these steps :
Initially you need to upgrade kies to the latest version (mine is : 3.2.15072_2) or this will fail cuz it failed with me the first time.
1) take of your battery , and write down your Serial number .
2) open kies first.
3) open mobile in download mode then connect it . KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE MOBILE
4) Choose : Tools >> Firmware upgrade and initialisation
5) Kies will ask you about your mobile name , TYPE : SM-N910C , ALL CAPITAL LETTERS OR KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT
6) if you did not type the name correctly , you will get a message that kies does not know this name , so start again , type SM-N910C
7) then you will get another box asks for your serial number , enter it (Not case sensitive).
8) Kies then will inform you that it is going to prepare the phone and download the firmware for your device and that you have to connect it in download mode.
9) unplug your mobile , plug it again and click start.
10) Now the process is going to take a while depending on your internet connection (downloading about 2GB), do not unplug the phone and do not allow your laptop/PC to sleep.
11) cautions that I read before : you better not connect or disable any usb devices during the process.
12) suddenly , you will hear you mobile starting up again , congratulations
Q: What about my data , apps and stuff ?
A: All is gone except for those on your External card , sorry , nothing can be done for that (May be you should remove your SDcard first just in case).
Good Luck

thank for your quick reply, my variant is n910c ans yes i can still install recovery. I upgraded from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 poland using odin and everything works well. I flashed Googy N4 kernel using TWRP 2.8.1.1 and everything still works well. My problem began when I made a backup of my 5.1.1 stock rom and flash infinity rom which end up in bootloop. So I tried restoring my backup but whenever it got to DATA RESTORING it keeps failing and flashing back the 5.1.1 poland stock firmware through odin keeps ending up on the SAMSUNG boot animation screen.

GoogyMax N4 v2.0. I have tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 but still the same.
After flashing stock firmware using odin, on my stock recovery i found this error
"E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
dm-verity verification failed.......
need to check drk first......."
I have search through the internet but i can't get a clear picture of what it meant.
Does anyone has an idea of what it meant and how to resolve the error?

Hi again ,
Looks like a locked phone and was unlocked in a wrong way or something like that.
read this thread , looks like the same problem.
in short , you need the 4 files firmware to be flashed via oden and as stated in page 2 there , you flash them without pit file.
You can find the 4-files firmware here but this is not 5.1.1 firmware , give it a try , if failed too , search for 5.1.1 4-files firmware.
here is another site but I do not really know if they are 4-files or the single file .
Good luck.

Try to download the appropriate firmware with Samfirm_reborn0.3.6.2 you'll find on Github. Unpack the .zip and start as admin.
Insert full device name and region and additionally check "binary nature" box.
It should download the latest! ROM multiple file format from Samsungs servers directly, at least it did for all my 7 devices (just in case) before I rooted them.
BUT I know that for N910V nothing is found and don't know about S model.
KIES I never used as I read it sometimes conflicts with Odin.
If files are downloaded flash with Odin adding the different files in their input fields. (selve explaining names)
Hello guys,
My s7 edge, Out of a sudden it turned off and I can't turn it back on. I tried to flash with odin, but I think I had chosen a wrong frimeware because I couldn't check which one was meant for my phone. That process failed.
I left the phone alone for a while and after a few days I tried it again but I couldn't access the download mode at all. It keeps showing me this error.
I was trying by pressing and holding power + home button + down volume button. Also I was attempting with pressing/ holding the home button because I saw that it worked for some people, but it didn't work for me.
Can someone help with this problem ?

What you mean u maybe flashed wrong firmware? Dude how can you not know what are u flashing via Odin??
I'm sorry don't wanna be so hars
If u can't boot to download mode then I'm afraid u cant do much , if u somehow can boot to download mode then u must select in Odin nand erase , repatition (pit file required) and see..
Cheapest option for u is changing motherboar if all options are out

I cut the story very short.
My friend had tried to flash his phone. In doing that, he could access the download mode, but after that Odin showed an error 'error, flashing failed'.
Since then, he couldn't access download mode. And now i am trying somehow to fix this problem..
I don't have enough posts to post a screenshot.

Well it would be best if u could open phone and disconnect battery and connect again after few hours , try changing cable use official one ect. Keep trying
Best of luck
I'll try that. Thanks!
If I manage to access download mode, is there a way to find out which the original firmware for this phone is?
Or should I try out different ones until something works [emoji23]
