Do this. Just flash SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar in the PDA section of Odin and it will recover your phone.

[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

yes u need the pit file while flashing

[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.

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

Same issue!
My SGN3 is frozen in the middle of flashing this via odin. . The blue progress bar has been stopped for 15 minutes now.Odin is reading " "cache.img.ext4" and isnt progressing beyond that. Any ideas what my immediate next step should be?
UPDATE:
I pulled the plug, and get the big red "Fail" box in odin. Now my phone says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. "
I'm so screwed. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this stage.
Thanks!
Jason

You can rerun ODIN in that mode, just try it again with another USB port/cable and turn off Kies in Task Manager.

I second this because I am HIGH on Android.
Try using the original USB3 cable that came with it. If you can help it don't use a USB hub either, these can cause problems (past personal experience)

Dear Friends if you have encountered the CWM issue with odin and message firmware encountered an issue please recovery mode in kies..... you have to hold the three keys again to get back to download mode but you need to reinstall the firmware with odin ....firmware available at Sammobile.com. I did'nt find any other solution but reinstalling firmware brought my device in normal condition.

My S8 (G950U) is stuck in a bootloop and cannot access download mode

Hi i tried rooting my device a few days ago with odin and it failed. When i tried to reboot it got stuck on the sprint logo. I tried reflashing the stock firmware and now when i try to access download mode it says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software." I figured it would be an easy fix but the smart switch app on my pc said my device is unsupported. Odin still knows when my phone is connected but Im second guessing my abilities to do this on my own so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
