I'm having a terrible issue with my phone, I was using latest cyanogenmod 13 rom and tried to revert to the stock rom but somehow the process didn't work and now my phone can't boot. It just shows a message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again".
I've already tried to the kies method without success.
I still have odin mode, but I can't flash anything with odin, it simply report a write error.
Trying to figure some other way to flash a rom or recovery, maybe via sd card... pls help

Odin or Heimdall are the only options.
Have you tried different Odin versions, different USB ports and different USB cables (preferably Samsung original cable)?
Do you the drivers installed and did you stop kies before running Odin?

Yes, I've tried at least 3 version and 2 different usb ports, however I'm not using the original cable...
I have kies installed with the proper drivers and I never run odin with kies on the background. Do I have to stop any kies's service to stop it completely?
Everything kies related has to be stopped.
And I recommend trying to get a Samsung cable. It appears the S4 is kinda sensitive in this way.

Hello!
I have royally F***** up my phone so if there are any geniuses out there, I will be so happy to hear your thoughts on my issue.
Here's my problem and I am open to any solution:
-My phone isn't rooted so CMW, TWRP, and any other custom recoveries are not an option.
-USB doesn't work
-Factory reset doesn't help (I've tried both ways)
-Any installs via extSD get the signature fail notification
-USB debugging is checked
-Allow apps from unknown source is checked
-App verification is unchecked
-Any kind of app that is meant to root my phone doesn't work
Thank you in advance!
Can you put it into download mode? If you can then you should be able to odin a custom recovery or odin the stock rom back to your phone and start from scratch. Have you downloaded the Samsung USB drivers? Only use the cable that came with your phone, others may not work or charge only. Also, try a different usb port.
Signature fails because you are on the stock recovery and the file you are trying to install hasn't been signed by Samsung.

I can put it into download mode but my phone still isn't recognized. I've tried many different cables, computers, usb ports, etc. I've downloaded the drivers from people posting them on here or on samsungs website directly but either way, i'm using windows 8 and windows 8 does it automatically. this wasn't a problem from the beginning, this just recently started happening and it has nothing to do with my computer or any computer for that matter.
Have you installed the drivers 'as administrator'?
Have you used Odin before?
How did you do what ever it is you think you did?
Have you tried Odin'ing a complete stock .tar? Here's one. Just download zip and extact the .tar.md5 file.
When you launch Odin are you right clicking and running as admin?
Did you put your phone into download mode before connecting it to a RUNNING Odin session. Meaning start Odin on PC as admin. Then put phone into download mode and then plugging it into computer.
Seems you can get into your phone right?
You may also try copying the extracted .tar to your SD card (via PC adapter or whatever) putting the SD card back in your phone and then trying to flash it via Stock Recovery.
Always nice when someone asks for help and then never reports back.
I have a G360P Boost Mobile version. I rooted the phone using Kingoroot and things were working great.
I rebooted the phone at one point and now the phone only boots in Download Mode.
It doesn't seem to be recognized by Odin or by Kies either.
Any ideas?
***EDIT***
More Info, I'm using Windows 7 x64
I tried ODIN v3.09 and then v1.85 and Kies v3
I have tried multiple USB cables in multiple ports.
Just for future reference I was able to exit download mode by disconnecting USB cable and holding down the power button for 10 secs.

honestly like someone mentioned here install the samsung drivers for your phone. I had the same problem, it not being detected until I did that. As far as the rebooting go back to stock. Flash the stock image with odin, or remove root and hard reset the phone using recovery. Hope that helps.
I guess I had assumed that when I installed Kies that the correct drivers would have already been installed. I downloaded the drivers from the Samsung Website HERE and was able to flash the stock firmware via ODIN. From that point I was able to boot up and install system updates. Thanks you two for the help.

I googled for a bit and didn't find much other. The results suggested it was a Tracfone model. If that's true I've always had problems finding firmware for Tracfone models, but have sometimes managed to get away with using a firmware from a similar model.
Samsung 820L Product Page (No downloads here )
Phones that may have similar firmware???
If you run out of options I would suggest trying Kies - may not hurt at that point.

I tried to root using odin nowim stuck in download mode and it wont connect to my laptop ive download drivers kies odin PLZZZZ HELP!!!
Get Odin to recognize your phone
Try powering off your phone with it plugged into your computer then use the button command for download mode again that helped me......
I'm having an issue and I think it's because I've flashed to many files
I can't get my galaxy core prime sm-s820l to accept any flashed Roms stock or custom I've even tried twrp and stock recovery
The only thing I can access is download mode and most of the time it won't connect to Odin I can get it to connect using the method above. Someone please help
I have minor experience with Odin and Roms I've been playing around with my infuse 4g for a while
hey guys sorry if i post it in the wrong place but i couldn't find the right place.
So the problem is that when I start to flash a stock rom I get a error message saying that odin has stopped working..
Kies is disabled and yes I have the drivers installed
I can't get into recovery mode because TWRP freezes when starting up.
Are you using the original Samsung USB cable that came with the phone? Tried different USB ports, Odin versions, and operating systems?
Hi people,
Long time ago installed TWRP on my samsung galaxy s5 SM-G900f so i could install a custom rom but never got around to it. Recently have realised that i can't update the OS on my phone due to having unauthentic software (or similar term) installed. While trying to reinstall the stock bootloader for android my phone got stuck on a loop of the TWRP logo and will only let me boot into download mode. After researching online I found out that i can stop this by installing CWM which will replace TWRP. Installed odin and everything on my laptop only to find my phone now won't be recognised by my PC and I am therefore stuck on what to do next?? (it would connect before this happened)
Any help will be hugely appreciated, thank you in advance!!
Get a stock ROM from sammobile .com firmware section, put the phone in download mode, and flash with ODIN 3.10.7

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the advice, I have tried that but my laptop won't recognise the phone. I believe i have the correct drivers installed as it used to connect fine. I can put it into download/odin mode but i can't even locate it in the device manager let alone ODIN 3.10.7. If you could link me the correct/official drivers it would be much appreciated as all the one's I've tried have the same result.
Grab KIES3 from samsungs site, that installs the drivers, although windows always seems to install them for me automatically when I connect the phone
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/
You can try fixing the phone with KIES before ODIN too if you want (Firmware recovery)
Phone has to be in Download mode (Volume Down & Home & Power) to flash from ODIN
ODIN will show a port number at the top when it sees your phone, as seen here with COM6 in blue
http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/...samsung--galaxy-s-iii-I535VRALHD-ROM-ODIN.jpg
I've just installed kies and tried both ODIN and emergency firmware recovery but still neither recognise the phone, on Kies3 i get to a menu stating "list of devices requiring emergency recovery" and the box is blank (phone always plugged in, in download mode)
In odin no COM port is recognised, no text in upper boxes
Use a different PC / Cable
Tried both, used 3 different cables and 3 different pc's (2 windows 10 and 1 windows 7) after installing kies and odin on both still got same result as on my laptop. Although on windows 7 after i waited several minutes for the box to light up in odin a message came up from windows saying that no device driver has been installed for "unknown device"? thank you again for your help!
Seems strange that multiple PCs can't see it, there are some samsung drivers kicking about you could try, if I can find them I`ll link here

My Note 4 is n910cq with Exynos and I downloaded Android 6 from an xda thread and while I try to flash it through odin I got an error. After that the phone stuck with a screen says"firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode ın kies and try again". I can put the phone into download mode but not able to get it to recovery mode. I tried to flash older roms but still keep getting error in odin. I tried Samsung smart switch app through upgrade section but no result. So, what to do?
it happens to me also because the phone disconnects while flashing , so you need to change the usb port ..keep trying to place it in a different usb port or even try to change the usb cable
