Hey, i have a big problem with my SM-J320FN (formerly Samsung J3 2016)
I found it with no os, i only have a screen that says
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I only have access to "Odin mode" (download mode) with frp lock on and so on.
The download mode isn't working with odin neither heimdall. I retried several times without success. I would like to know what can i attempt to repair it.
Tyvm for you help, Cya

Hello, i got Frp lock text, tried going to download mode and flashing a stock firmware, when my phone goes halfway throught it restarts and goes into download mode, now it messed up my boot and stuff and it only shows that "An error has occured while updating the device software.
Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software.
I can't flash it, it keeps rebooting, please help, thank you.
Use kies 3 and under tools select "software upgrade" put in your serial number and model then follow the steps it should work.
Make sure you don't grab or touch the phone when connected to pc because Odin is finicky like that.
Hi,
I have attempted to update my device to Android 6.0.1
- grabbed ROM from sammobile.com
- put device in download mode
- used ODIN by just loading the .tar.md5 file in AP and hitting start
ODIN spat something like "Write operation failed" just after this "hidden.img.ext4" file.
Googled a bit and it seems that deleting the "hidden.img.ext4" from the tar would be all that is needed.
But...
ODIN would not start flashing with the new .tar file. So I have rebooted the device and bam!
Code:
The device now reads "An error occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software)
So I went on and installed the Smart Switch app for the emergency recovery function. Tried with 3 versions of it 4.2.18xxxx - 4.1.16xxxx - 4.1.17xxxxx. No chance in the first version, the last two versions would allow me to input the device information (model and S/N) but both spat back at me
Code:
Smart Switch App says "SM-A500FU does not support initializing. Please contact our service center"
So, I am now stuck with a permanently turned-on-screen device that would not go into download / recovery mode (but it does reboot to the same screen), the battery is non-removable, and I also got some Z3x samsung tool thing at hand, hmm... Any chance for me to put it back into download mode or is it good for the recycle bin ?
Thank you
Hello Android specialists,
my Galaxy Tab A stuck in bootloop with an flashing and pulsating screen showing "an error has occurred while updating the device software".
I already tried to fix the problem via odin an Firmware file from sammobile, without success.
It seems the Tablet is not really recognized by the Computer.
Are there any possibilities for an factory reset to get the Device to work without odin ?
Also the batterie is not working, it only powers on while connected on PC.
In device manager its only shown unter USB Controller. No more entries.
I guess ist software bricked... because i also cant get to bootloader
Sorry for my bad English and thank your for solutions.

You need to put it back in download mode.
Hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until it reboots to download mode.
Hey guys, I'm currently rooting my Galaxy Tab A sm-p205 by following this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-0-2019-s-pen-sm-t3971209), which haven't given me any problem thus far.
I followed it to a tee and I've encountered a problem during step 9. Odin3 v3.13.1 crashes suddenly during the VENDOR or USERDATA portion of flashing, it has happened twice, and a third time when I ran as admin, bringing my device to the turquoise "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" screen, during which I just used the key combo to bring my device to Download mode and tried again. I unchecked "Auto-Reboot" on the options page in Odin, leaving only the "F.Reset Time" box checked.
Another thing I find odd is that everytime I click on the Odin3 application, I first get brought to the "The app you are trying to install is not a Windows Verified App" screen before the app launches.
I sincerely appreciate any form of help. Thanks in advance
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
