Was updating my standard, stock UK T-Mobile GS2 through Kies, following it exactly.
It was downloading and then it said when it began updating, that the connection has been lost (with the phone)
It was from PDA:KE3 / PHONE:KF1 / CSC:KE3 to PDA:KE3 / PHONE:KF1 / CSC:KF1.
It then came up with the prompt to disconnect the cable, then battery, then replace battery and turn on and then try again. BUT should I do this?
BECAUSE my GS2 has the Android robot and says "Downloading" "Do not turn off target!!" on it?
It's been doing this for the past 30 minutes or so.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
well if you mess up your phone following kies' instructions you will still be under warranty if you have not rooted your phone

Eugh...warrenty. so much effort. never made a complete backup of all my apps and stuff.
I have slow internet...so I'm going to leave it till like 12, even though that might actually cause screen burn. then i'll turn it off and on again. :/
if you used kies it will have made the backup just before updating

it doesn't do apps and all of that does it?
no but google does, so if you do a full wipe and re-register your phone with google it will start downloading all your market apps again automatically, you can check your apps in your market account

Happened to me one i unplugged it before i knew the risks.
Ignorance is bliss.
Nothing happened all was fine.
Id suggest using odin, its faster.

Its just in download mode? Try to hold down the power-button for a while until it turns off. Unless your PC is still doing something the download mode does nothing

yup that's the way to win an argument, only see all the evidence in favor of your argument whilst ignoring the evidence to the contrary.
KIES is fine for most people and the OP should just use KIES to try and solve his problems first at least he will still be under warranty unlike a wrong odin flash

sorry for hijacking this thread,
does flashing using odin void the warranty? my device was shipped with a german DBT rom and due to the fact that there is no ke7 dbt rom on this forum, i used odin to flash ke7 xeu. does that affect my warranty? i used the jig to get into download mode, as i am too stupid to access it through the buttons (although bootloader mode on winmo always worked for me, it isn't the fingers then ). my device is not rooted, nor has it ever had anything else than a stock rom on it and i never had the yellow triangle.
again, sorry for hijacking, i realize that this is a serious issue, but while we are on the topic of kies vs. odin, losing the warranty would be a clear pro for kies.

I think that so long as you flash official software, the warranty is fine. Its once you root/flash custom roms that the warranty may be affected.

You don't totally rule out warranty, it just becomes samsungs discretion they look at the flash counter, which you can incidentally reset using a USB jig

There are millions of people who succesfully use KIES to update their phones, a very small fraction have problems and come here, a tiny amount of people use ODIN to upgrade their phone, it does not take very long to find threads from people who have messed up their phone using ODIN. It's like advising a little kid who has cut his finger with kiddy scissors to use real scissors instead.

I don't discredit your post whatsoever, I understand your logic, but I have never heard of someone messing their phone up who read instructions and flashed properly using Odin. People that flash kies normally, have a chance of messing their phone up, even though statistically small. Knowing that the benifits of Odin still outweigh kies, and that's from an experienced standpoint. Also backed up by giants in the field like pulsar and intratech, but your opinion is respected, I just don't choose to follow it, would rather follow advice from experience and developers always pal

Good morning everyone.
Long story: I promised a cousin of mine I could downgrade his phone to an older version of Android(kitkat) because they didn't like lollipop for many reason. In my head I thought it would be a good hour or less job, so I took it home with me to flash an older stock rom on it. It didn't work and he needs his phone after he gets out of school in 6 hours.
Short: I tried to flash a 4.4.2 stock image(SamMobile) with Odin but it failed at some point and when I returned to the phone it wouldn't boot up, but it did give an error msg "firmware update encountered an issue" when ever I try to use Odin I get "FAIL" what I'm seeing is "Auth fail" . I also can no longer get into recovery mode to reset or clear anything (Vol up+Home+Power)
If I left any information out please let me know I'm really in need of help I don't want to look stupid or have to buy a new phone for him....
If someone can please help me I've never seen this issue before.... (Nexus user)

You may have to make your own post, yours just seems like a simple bootloop.
Update: with little help on my post I feel like I searched for hours and hours and came up with this conclusion, reactivating is stopping me from flashing anything, but the problem is I was getting the "firmware encountered an issue" error msg on powering up each and every time even when teething to load recovery mode (only went to download mode. Day or so later the error msg is gone and it tries to boot but fails then restarts boot and goes straight to recovery mode. Any help now?? The help here is kind of slow.....
Hi All,
So about an hour ago I searched for an update knowing that Verizon was supposed to be pushing out a security update today. It found an update and installed it. After reboot, the phone will not start. The splash screen shows the unlocked lock and the word "custom." The next screen says "Start Up Failed - Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Verizon Software Repair Assistant." More specifically, in the corner it says "Custom binary blocked by SECURE BOOT (boot.img)."
The Verizon Software Repair Assistant doesn't pop up when I plug it into my computer, and I can't find it online.
Ironically this is the ONE phone I have not actually tinkered with so yeah... VZW said they will most likely have to ship my work a new phone for replacement. I can't expedite that since I'm not authorized on the work account. Is there an image for Odin floating around that I can use to flash this myself? Help me please!!!
You did tinker, you tried to install the wrong/a bad file.
Odin to stock, there's a thread in one of the S7/S7e forums with the Verizon stock files.

where did you "find" this update? unless you went to settings and hit software update, you probably downloaded an incorrect update for the wrong phone, which soft bricked it. needs a re-flash.

I did in fact hit software update and let the phone search for the update itself. I have no reason to lie about this. I'm the first to admit when I screw up. I see someone has the firmwares on his mediashare in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65764861&postcount=14. I just requested access to the file I need.

UPDATE: I was able to get the phone back to life by doing a recovery boot (power up + home button + power). Previously, I was doing it the LG G2 way not using the home button. The phone booted all the way but now it still says I'm "custom." I'm holding off on using Odin to flash the full stock firmware because I've read that it won't reset that custom thing. Thoughts on Odin?
If you flash a factory image you should be good. Just make sure it's for the variant you are using.
Another update: I spoke with a great VZW rep today and explained everything. She posted an androidcentral forum link in the ticket where a woman had the same exact thing happen to her on her GS6. She also put in there that my valid is still valid. So that's that and I'll just keep using the phone as is now.

Definitely wasn't rooted. I still suspect some goofball engineer at VZW in my area posted the update before it was signed properly or something like that. The phone has been working great though. It was a worthy upgrade from my LG G2.

Smashing phones with a hammer would solve your problem, next time wait for some one to guide you how to fix it. Like using Samsung Smart Switch or following a guide like [GALAXY J5] Basic informations | Guides | Tips and Tricks | ROMS & KERNELS.
That would solved your problem and your phone.

If you had done enough research online QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE does not mean that your phone is locked. If the error was "aboot.mbn" "FAIL! (Auth)" or any other errors including "FAIL! (Auth)" it means that the software you are using is not made for your device (other model/variants). Samsung's Smart Switch software could have solved this as it checks for the software with your phone's model and IMEI number.
Also, you could have just flashed back to V2 and factory reset. The files for the earlier versions are posted on the site and I'm sure the partitions affected by the flash are the same for both versions. There are plenty of other ROMs out there for you to flash as well.
You need to learn how to appreciate other people's work more. You are already lucky enough for people to be making custom ROMs for you to flash. Flashing custom ROMs are at your own risk. How would you like people making bad remarks about you when something happens with your ROM? You are just discouraging the developer to do more.
There was nothing wrong with this ROM.
Many people are using it and have had no problems.
KingRaheel is a good guy and a good developer who puts lots of time making ROMs for people to use.
It sounds to me that you maybe used the wrong version or you did something wrong.
If this was not the case then there would be lots of others saying the there was a problem.
Ur choice to smash your phone was your choice.
Your phone was not broken it could have been easily recovered.
I personally think that you should take down this post and apologize.
People where shouting out that they wanted new ROMs and the guys with the skills to do so made them for you it was your choice to use them and your responsibility to make sure that you read the directions.

Use Smart Switch - emergency recover you will unbrick.
I'll also add this to the OP's statements. Your device would have been recoverable without a doubt.
You really only have yourself to blame, the first thing you should have done is made a full backup with TWRP, that would have cost you nothing but a few minutes of your time.
You would then have recovered in minutes.
Also you should have contacted the developer before posting negative feedback and asked for help first.

Hey man, you could just post it directly into the thread and not on Q&A sextion. This warning is irrelevant here. If you're so serious, you better report the post about the ROM. And try not to interrupt some people's work. XDA is a site for experimenting, nothing is guaranteed.

funny guy
This is so funny. Thank you for making my day @snakedoc73 xD
Bought an S8 in this condition. The guy said it had no OS. I looked it over and all seemed fine. I was all like, "well it goes into download mode and Odin can see it, I'll just flash an OS on it, itll be fine!" But now, I've put all the correct files (from the stock firmware) in the correct spots in Odin (AP, CP, BL, CSC) yet it fails EVERY time.
I get FAIL! SHA256 is invalid.
I'm using Odin 3.12.3
I tried a "patched" version of Odin as well, but I get a different error with that one. It makes it to "write", and then fails that.
I've attached some pics of some info that is on the phone both in download mode and on the splash screen. If any of that info rings a bell to anyone and you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!!
Am I screwed or what? Thanks!
I'm following this guide as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3598172

I think so? I'm trying to flash the G950U or G950F.
Should I try to flash my carrier variant of the FW?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
Here is 950U firmware, I don't know what carrier MDL is. If say you'll have to download them all and flash them one by one and find the right carrier. It's strange but one of the fixed has blown as indicated by ODIN do some research on that fuse. It might be the cause of your issues

Yeah I wondered that as well about the fuse. Thanks for your help, I'm gonna just flash each one individually I guess!

That's the only way you're gonna find out. Flashing G950F firmware won't help you unfortunately. I'm tipping it's the fuse though. Maybe sammy can repair it for you. It's gonna cost but. If not you have a fancy paperweight =/

Fuse means nothing. My fuse is blown also. It means that the internals will only work in your phone. Or at least that's what I heard. I would ask Sammy. But you have a U model device meaning that you can only flash SM-G950U and SM-G950W firmwares.

For your sake I hope it's as simple as running through the different carrier firmware and you can get a functional device back! It's a great device and doesn't deserve to be a paper weight. Plus you don't deserve it either. Good luck and let me know how you go
I hope your device is fixed. It happened with me an hour ago. I tried 9 times to flash stock ROM after TWRP installation attempt messed my device.
it used to fail each time. What I did was Pressed the DownloadMode combo when it failed and rebooted and got in recovery and flashed. it worked the 1st time like this.
Make sure SIM is out.

Check this post out - it is for G950U and G950U1 devices + US Carriers. There are different methods that are needed to be followed depending on what you are trying to do. Read it, ask question. By the way if your S8 is 950U, then don't flash firmware from an F model.
im getting errors odin fails for me im g955f on aqg5. what am i doing wrong?
Odin Error
