Hello guys,
I updated my Galaxy S4 I9500 to 4.3 Jellybean officially.
Had troubles while operating the updated versions, like slow typing, notification bar not sliding etc
I then tried to downgrade using 4.2.2 firmware, but i hurry i forgot to Enable USB Debugging before Odin start
The operation "NAND writing failed" and my phone is now stuck at
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I tried Kies, but failed. Then tried Kies manually, by entering Model number and Serial Number but that process doesnt also works.
I have downloaded many softbrick recoveries but fails, as i did not enable USB Debugging.
Kindly get me out of this soft brick.
Thanks in advance.
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
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

nead you help desperately

any help any one
:fingers-crossed:
You need to go to the at&t section on xda. This section is not for your phone.
Because you don't give any details about the Odin error, I can't help you further.
Most Odin errors can be solved by:
- Other cable
- Other usb port
- Other pc.
I was trying to flash CM11 ROM in my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830, for that I have also installed CWM 6.0.5.3. While flashing ROM from recovery it failed with some error message, I tried it once again and again it stopped with the same error message. I decided to try some other ROM and kept mobile on side to search new rom, the mobile was still in recovery mode connected with usb for charging, after a minute as I saw at my mobile it was not in recovery mode, the screen was OFF. I tried to restart it again & again but failed, I even tried to start it in recovery mode but failed. Tried overnight charging, thinking that its battery is down, but failed to restart it. Then I searched about it on google, and came to know it was bricked with solution to flash it with stock rom using Odin, if it is still getting detected in PC. My PC is still detecting my mobile, tried flashing stock rom using Odin, but it is getting stuck at "< 1 >setup connection...". I don't know what to do now. My mobile is not in warranty, so no way in getting it repaired from service center. If anyone know any solution for this, then please tell me. I am eagerly waiting for your reply. Moderators, please don't delete this thread saying to go and search for same kind of threads, I have already done that & at last posted in new thread. Please Help me as soon as possible. Thanks..

Extract it, open "S5830_Odin+Multi+Downloader+v4.38.exe" then in the OPS section select the .ops file in the extracted folder, then give a check on "One package" check box. Then on the bottom press the "One package" button and select the firmware in the folder and you're done !
P.S. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling Samsung USB Drivers, removing Kies, switching cables, ports or even PC's (if possible)
