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] Odin accidental zip flash =/

I was supposed to unpack the tarfile from the zip, but since my computer decided to not recognize the zip and using the rar icon I thought it was the tar itself and flashed it only to realise my mistake as Odin said the flash failed. As of right now, every time I start my device, it says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and shows a picture that looks like *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Kies emergency recovery does not recognize the device.
Trying to start the phone in recovery mode takes me to the *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Download mode > Flashing a stock rom = fail (Yes, it's unpacked this time)
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
P.S. Now before anyone bothers to help me out here.. I know.. I'm an idiot, and anyone who takes his or her time to help out here is my hero for the rest of my life <3 D.S.

see my sig for pit file with odin :good:

Alright, so I got a lot further this time.
I figured out how to get into Download mode again, suddenly I need to press and hold the combo a little while longer than I did before, or it will go to *phone**triangle**computer*.
I got the official firmware into PDA in Odin 3.07 this time around and connected my phone to the computer after I loaded PDA.
I then pressed start and VOILA!!! Thanks fellas!

You welcome enjoy

Did you terminate Kies in windows task manager? Kies can cause Odin to fail!

Ups. No. I will try this right now

You should do firmware writes with a notebook or UPS, a power interruption while writing critical system files can cause all kinds of damage.
Unfortunately you didn't provide much detail for us to work with. Not even a screenshot or photograph of what you see on the screen of your phone now or the log from Odin or Kies. Even your thread title didn't convey any useful information.
Pull your phone battery. Then try to enter download mode by pressing and holding the volume down key, then the home key, then the power key. Then try to flash a full, stock firmware image and proper PIT file concurrently. If you run into any difficulties, give a detailed description of what you tried, the Odin log and a photo of the phone screen.
More than likely it's recoverable. Despite the lack of details in your post, your stumbling block is probably that you aren't using a PIT file to correct (likely) partition damage that occurred during your power interruption.

I resolved my problem. I just flashed the pit file only with repartition checked in Odin and after that my phone just came alive. No need to flash full firmware. Thanks for help to you and everyone!

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.

Hello guys. I hope I posted in the right section as this is my first post here. I tried to root my phone (S4 I9505) today,but it failed. Now I'm stuck at the screen where it says to "select recovery in Kies". Can anyone help me? Samsung Smart Switch does not recognize my device. As I searched in other posts,most of the persons with this problem were able to use button combinations. In my case, I CANNOT enter Download,or Recovery mode. This is very important,so please help me.

Flash the stock rom using Odin even if the phone only displays the firmware upgrade screen.

Any instructions for doing that please? I repeat,I cannot acces download/recovery mode.

FOUND A SOLUTION.
1) I found this thread,and saw a reply talking about a .PIT file.
2)Searched for,and found the said file here
3)Selected the "PIT" option in Odin,searched for the file,and then I pressed "Start". It took 2 seconds to pass,and the phone rebooted without any problem.

Help. Bricked my S8 Active & can't access download mode

model is SM-G892
baseband is G892AUCU4BSC1
Android version 8.0.0
I installed V3 and I've been told I need to flash Blv4. I can't get into download mode anymore. Whenever I attempt to access it I get the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery option" and I can't get into download mode. Whenever I start device that same error comes up and phone won't turn on. I've been told I need the full firmware G892AUCU4BSC1 but I can't find it and I can't even get into download mode to apply it.
Thanks for the help

If you can find the firmware you can fish from that screen. Boot download and when error pops up you can see it connect in Odin. The issue is finding that firmware
