A5 (A500FU) Stuck in Odin Mode... Please Help! - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

done.. ty

does it say emergency firmware somewhere?
usually when a flash fails, it'll go directly where you are...
it could be that you tried to flash a branded rom on an unbranded phone, or vice versa...if your phone came with TMobile or Vodafone stuff, you may need to flash a ROM that was made by a carrier

Nothing like that, now i tried to flash a stock firmware... and yet it says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select Recovery Mode in Kies. If i try kies i need a Serial Number but i cant read it since it was on my box, and its not readable at all. Also on my Box are like 3 Serial Numbers...
Edit: got it... holy

please share the error, at least a screenshot...

[Q] Odin doesn't see my Galaxy i5800

Hello everyone,
Just like a lot of people, I want to flash my cellphone so I can use custom roms etc. But I have a weird problem and I have no idea what is causing it or what I'm doing wrong.
When I have selected the BOOT, PHONE, PDA and CSC file from the latest december 2.2 froyo firmware, I try to press start but then it says "Please connect phones!". My COM1 also stays white and does NOT say "OK".
As you can see, Kies recognizes my cellphone but Odin doesnt. I have everything selected from the latest firmware (december). I also tried connecting from a different usb-slot but that didn't help either
Hopefully someone will be able to help me. ^^
edit: can't post link to the picture since I dont have 8 posts
Switch off ur phone....
Press Vol down + Home + Switch ON button
Ur phone must now be in download mode
n u will be able to flash
Happy Flashing
omg! I was searching 2 hours yesterday on how to fix it and then gave up and now I found out its so easy *sigh* anyway, many many thanks! I'm flashing as we speak!
edit: sweet! Flashed succesfuly! Its 2.2
edit: nvm, did something stupid and have it already fixed ^^

Samsung Galaxy S Update Faild, Phone won't Start or Boot

Hi,

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?

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! Samsung S5 no service

For two weeks, my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F has no signals. It keeps showing No Service, I can't receive calls/messages at all.
I have used Smart Tutor to contact Samsung, their engineer reset the system (maybe), but couldn't make it work. Then I sent the phone back to UK service centre, they sent it back to me quickly with doing anything --just because my phone is not in European warranty. :crying:
The details of the phone:
IMEI is right, fireware is Country: Hong Kong, PDA: G900FZHU1BOA1,
From I have read, it seems like the Radio was turned off. But I don't know how to turn it on.
I tried to enter Service mode by dialing code *#*#4636#*#* but it didn't work for me.
I can get into ServiceMode by code *#0011# but I don't know what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi lingowistico,
I did what you said, but it still can't work.
Is the modem not for the UK? (btw, the phone was from Hongkong, but I use it in the UK)
help......
Aside from the radio/modem that you should try flashing i suggest trying a custom rom as i had a similar issue on the official one

You can do that by reading the stickies like everyone else does instead of expecting that someone else will do it for you.
same here in 3 different devices...
The same happened to mine and my wife's devices. Since last Saturday I rooted them both, load 4.4.4, then ulgrade them to 5.0... downgrade them again. Tried flas modem a d flash radio. Seems nothing is working. Both are g900h. And today just realized that my cousin's g900f just have the same issue since friday. How can I know the date of the automatic installed updates... maybe some update cause this?
Also tried shortcut master to enter the secref codes with super user... no code is working...
The signal just comes and go every 5 mi utes. Sometime I can make a phone call but it crashed like 1 minute after I made it. Lazy data signal.
What else do you guys reccomend?

Samsung Core Plus SM-350 Problem

Hello everyone I'm new here and my name is Stizzen, nice to meet you.
I have a problem with my Samsung, I did a flash update with Odin and the stock firmware (ITV) because it didn't work the phone it could only go to download mode even in recovery mode it didn't go, so I use Odin to flash and put the stock firmware, but now say "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in lies and try again" I tried to use Kies but it said that the device isn't compatible so I can't do nothing with Kies, I tried to flash several firmware but alway the same problem appear, and I can go only in downloader mode.
I don't know what happened before (no flash rom or something) because a friend give to me this phone and I would try to work again.
Thanks in advance to everyone who will answer
