Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

Please tell me you were not on ics when you tried to restore using cwm?

Where you on the stock ics kernal?

Try downloading and flashing a pre rooted gb rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025 in PC ODIN.
Preferably the whipe version.

Let me try.

You can back-up and wipe cache and dalvik cache with any kernel. Full wipe and restore should be done only with abyss kernel.

Theres also a thread on repartitioning the data partition to bypass any corrupted sectors mentioned in that thread.

tqvm..

sorry. my english not so good. so, i quite lost and couldn't understand.

Basically, theres a bug in most ics kernels that will corrupt your data memory to the point where the only way to fix it is to return your device to samsung for a motherboard replacement... Or you can repartition the chip so you miss out the bad memory sectors, usually you'll lose about 3 or 4gb of space.
The only way to tell if this has happened will be to flash a stock gb rom and kernel using pc odin, check dr. Ketans thread in the stickies of rom development section to get a gb rom. If that still gets stuck at factoryfs.img then its likely youre bricked and will need to get your warranty replacement.
Dont do any more wipes or restores while on ics!!!

wah!! TQ for the explanation. After I tried to installed GB, it still stuck at factoryfs.img. Maybe I need to send my phone to Samsung.

Try connecting the usb cable directly in one of the ports in the back of the pc (directly in the motherboard) then try reflashing.

Me too
stuck
went from stock ics kernel via mobile odin ever root.
tried to change to mid rom (previously been on)
cwm install zip abyss kernel
restore midteam1.4.2
copies a lot of files ok
says can't restore /system!
sometimes says can't restore /data!
still have cwm
availably working is
cwm
abyss red touch thing
(I've already tried format /data -as it was already fubared- seems fine no error echo, obviously not fix)
pc odin
likewise mine gets stuck completely as previously described.
how do we send to samsung? how much cost?

Where are you from? I'm not so sure in Malaysia do they care about rooting or not because my experience, I sent rooted Galaxy Tab to Samsung and they just fix the device FOC within warranty period. I'm going to send my SGN by this week.

[TUT]Rooting the mini 2 S6500D (Super noob friendy)(video added)

Hi Everyone
VIDEO:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94vIeinaddQ
i will show you how to root the Samsung galaxy mini 2 S6500D
and i will move step by step in this tut as i will Root my device as well, I've Unrooted it so i can show you every step
ok, so first of all there is some files that you need to download first:
1- you must have the ADB drivers for your phone and you do that by downloading Samsung kies
just google it and you will find it
2- download this rar file here
Ok so lets get started
- After Downloading Samsung Kies connect your Phone to the pc so the Kies can detect it and install its drivers.
- grab your phone

}
( its really advisable to be fully charged, or at least 90% or so ) things can get really bad if the phone turns off while rooting :silly:
- Trun off the phone,Boot your phone in ( Download mode ) you can do that by pressing Vol (down) and Home and power key all at once, after that you should get to this screen:
just press the volume up to ignore the warning To proceed.
Then connect your phone to the pc and open Odin3 v1.85.exe from the rar(mini2.rar) that you downloaded and extracted
then press the PDA button and choose the other file called ( clockworkmod-5.0.2.8.tar.md5 )
ok, before we continue you should take care of something
if you get Exactly this screen, then you did something wrong
as you see in the rec circle Odin did NOT detect your phone
-its either not connected probably or its drivers is not installed
so make sure you check both of these things
now if you get THIS screen with Oding detecting your phone then you are ready to go
press the PDA button and load the file called ( clockworkmod-5.0.2.8.tar.md5 )
then press start,If you see pass with green background make sure you did it right
after that CLOSE, you must COLSE odin, just exit it.
Now turn off your phone again and boot it in ( REcovery mode ) you can do this by pressing both of the volume buttons and the home and power key, so basically you just press all the buttons at the same time.
as you see it will say GT7500 but its ok, :highfive:
You should get this screen
remember your phone is still connected to the pc the whole process
Now open the other file
AGAIN, if you get this kind of error ( device not found )
Then you you probably did the same thing and proceed without making sure of finishing the prev.step.
But if you did it correctly, you should see this:
it MIGHT (probably will) fail the first time, just exit and run the file again to make sure.
Then you are ready to go
now you will be automatically on the first option ( reboot system now ) just press the home key and the phone will reboot
open the app menu and you should see ( super user ) installed on your phone
to make sure you are rooted just go to the google store and search Titanum backup
install it and you will see it Require the super user request to proceed,
or you can just search for any root checker app as well
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=burrows.apps.rootchecker
many thanks to the people who find out the way to root the phone :highfive:
i just LOOOVE to create Tutorials :good: :victory:
if you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments )

Did you do any full wipes on ics? Where is odin failing, is it factory fs?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

happened to me too..
That "firmware encountered an issue" is an indication that the system is corrupted to the point that it cant manage to startup..
I got that problem because of my stupidity.. Plugged my phone to the defective USB port and when I started flashing, I accidentally moved the cable and BAM! Phone is disconnected, and flash failed bigtime..
Your only fix for that if you ask me is do another flash... Try pulling out the battery for 10mins and try to boot into download mode.. That's how i was able to recover my phone from that screen..
I remember that message offering to run emergency recovery using Kies but it is totally useless.. trust me..
Make sure you're plugging in your phone to the USB port DIRECTLY on the motherboard of the computer (the ports at the back) not the ports on the front panel of the case of your computer..
If you're still encountering problems, I believe youre looking at a bricked device and seek more advanced assitance from people here..

Yep, that's superbricked. You can either repartition the emmc chip, you'll lose about 3gb of internal sd card and won't be able to run stock roms.
If you have warranty get a reply placement, just say you were updating through Kies when this happened.

Hello folks,
First I must say that before I post this thread I searched for days to find out a solution, I tried everything I know about to fix my issue without luck.
What happened:
I was on cyanogenmod 10.1.2 (4.2.2) with semaphore kernel 3.0 everything running flawless for month nothing much to say.
I dismounted my external SDcard 16go to switch for another one 32go while the phone was on (I did this multiples times before without issues) but when I mounted it back I had a "searching for error" notification so I waited for a time and my phone gone off alone.
I power it on back but my screen just show "Galaxy S I9000" logo and nothing else happen. So I waited for a time, removed the battery, and power it on again but no luck, my phone seems to have a bootloop I thought.
I decided to flash back to stock rom in order to fix it (I did this before when I got bootloop with froyo, gingerbread, ics ... good old day )
My phone is an international I9000 PRO (belgium)
I flashed a XXJVU stock rom with repartition on PIT 512(because of different partition format from cyanogenmod) with ODIN, everything is running fine from ODIN, no errors, the phone reboot but still no luck : stuck with the Galaxy S I9000 screen, nothing else happen.
I can get download mode but no recovery mode, so I tried to flash a semaphore ICS kernel: no luck again, no recovery available.
I started to get worried and tried everything possible from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775
Still no luck my phone is stuck to this Galaxy S I9000 screen. I can't get recovery mode, only download mode.
I flashed another stock rom :GT_I9000_XWJW5_XDJV1_OXXJVC_Sbl because of the sbl as I thought my boot partition was screwed but still no luck, no boot past the Galaxy S I9000 screen.
I just have the download mode available that is all.
My battery is at 100%
ODIN flash without any errors
What can I do in order to fix it? and if I can't, can I try to save my internal SDcard documents (photos, pdf, doc ...)? Can I mount my internal SDcard from download mode to fix this loop? or to save my important documents?
I am sorry for my basic english, I thank you in advance to anyone who try to help me.

Remove your External SD card and try, could be wrong format, as it needs to be formatted in phone first.

I've already did that in the first time.
Now I retired everything from the phone (sim card and SDcard) to flash a stock rom in order to fix this bootloop but still no luck.
I couldn't pass that Galaxy S I9000 screen, nothing happen.
I don't have any recovery mode available now, only download mode.
When I flash a stock rom (I tried JVU, JW5 full stock) ODIN says nothing wrong, everything seems to go fine, but the phone is stuck at start screen.

The phone reboot but still stuck at Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. I still don't have a recovery mode, only download mode available.
I couldn't flash a CF-Root kernel because the first flash did not complete the first run (I guess) and even if I flash a CF-Root kernel (jvu, I tried it before) I still don't have a recovery mode.
I feel so sad, maybe my internal SD is screwed ... I had this phone since 3 years, did alot of flash before, got it bricked, saved it multiple times without any issue, strong device but now I think it's done, the end
Now, if you know a way to read the internal SD without recovery mode you are a god
I think I will give up.

well, you can always use external SD card, when your internal SD card is fried...just read this and related links in it , first to digest the issue and try when you are SURE how you would proceed, the easiest is having a single SD card partitioned into two to act like its the internal and external.
The problem here seems you had made a swap, and that needs to be undone

Process completes but tablet is stuck at boot animation of Samsung logo.
Performed power on/off to find error screen stating "Power Reset or Unknown Upload Mode". Once again unable
to start up or shutdown.

I would try flashing a custom recovery with ODIN, and using that to flash a custom rom.

Am I doing something wrong?
Also, I read somewhere that bootloader has to be unlocked for Odin to be able to flash recovery. Could that possibly be the issue and if
so how do I unlock the bootloader on this device?

Tablet then reboots directly to download mode. Unable to enter newly installed recovery, unable to shutdown.
Retried several times to same result.

Are you doing the right key combo to get to recovery? Restart tab, as soon as the 8.9 logo pops up, press and hold volume down (the one closer to the power button). When bootloader screen comes up press volume down one more time to select recovery, and volume up once to select. Sorry if this is obvious, just wanted to make sure.

Correct me if I'm wrong but power+vol down basically brings you to a screen where you're given a choice
between download mode (denoted by a blinking green Andy) and recovery mode (Andy coming out of a box).
I select recovery, tried all buttons, no response. The "icon" flashes for a moment when key is pressed but
nothing happens.

That's correct. It sounds like your bootlader might be borked. Unfortunately, idk how to flash a new one without a working recovery. Sorry.
You might be able to flash a bootloader.zip in odin as a pda. I have never tried this, and I have no idea if it will work, or if it will further break your tab.
Am I correct that you have a p7300? If it is a p7300 or a p7310, this is the right bootloader:

I read some replies about flashing this bootloader, and it seems like it works
but I noticed that @kallt_kaffe mentioned that you should flash the bootloader using the bootloader option instead of the PDA:

so I'am not sure but I think you should try to use the bootloader option first
good luck

Thanks for all the help I've gotten from both of you, I've managed to get CWM to work on my tab.
Now what? How exactly would I fix my problem using CWM from this point forward and what files would I need to do so?

Flashing the bootloader was the solution ???
I can think of two things
ether you should try to flash a stock Tar ROM by Odin
or you should transfer any flashable Zip ROM by USB adb connection and flash it through CWM

Actually I'm not sure whether it's the bootloader OR the fact that I switched to a laptop and a different USB from the one I was
using before.
That said, I have tried flashing the ROM you gave me the link to in mail. Didn't work. As before the installation completed only to be stuck at
the Samsung logo upon reboot.
How would I proceed with the flashable zip ROM USB adb thing with CWM? And what files would I need? Pardon my ignorance but I'm just
pretty new to all this.

You need to use cwm to flash a custom rom. There are several in the android development section. You need to download the rom.zip and gapps.zip from one of those threads, and put them on the internal storage of your tab. Hopefully, when you hook it up to a pc it will pop up as a media player or storage device, and you can just drag and drop them on there. If not, you may need to set up adb and push the files over to the tab.
Once you get the files on there, normally one would do a nandroid backup. In your case, without a working rom, I don't think that will be usefull. You need to wipe (format) system, data, cache, and dalvik, then install the rom.zip, then the gapps.zip.

I am having similar issues with my tab, flashed an official rom from sam mobile through odin, just hangs on the samsung boot screen. Could it be a boot loader issue?

Device doesn't register as a storage device. No idea how to push files over with ADB or even how I would access ADB with
the Samsung 8.9. Could someone take the trouble to give me some step-by-step idiot proof instruction I could follow?

Ok, sorry for being late, I was collecting information and doing some experiences
on my tab to get all the details you need
So, to transfer a file through adb USB connection while in recovery you should
Install ADB Drivers and use the ADBGUI to copy the files to the tab
First of all mount /sdcard from the mount and unmount section in CWM, connect your tab through USB cable while in CWM and then
when you open the ADBGUI tool it should automatically detect your tab and show you figures like number 1 in the screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you see any figures in the same place, then your device is connected through adb
now open the Basic Commands tab (number 2)
Select File and browse it to the ROM.Zip you want to flash (number 3)
[it is recommended to be small file cuz you might need to do this more than once]
I use for this matter a Stripped CM9 (67MB) just to boot and then I transfer through normal USB any ROM I want
write (/sdcard) in (number 4) to guide the tool to put the file on the sdcard
click Push File (number 5) and wait for 2 - 6 minutes [it depends on the size of the file]
now the file should be on your sdcard
just flash it and reboot
I hope I am not exaggerating in this guide

Hey All,
Just managed to get mine to stock! . I was having the issue of it hanging on the Samsung Boot screen, but I managed to fix this by, flashing CWM through odin AFTER flashing the stock rom. Then entering CWM and doing a factory reset/wipe and wiping dalvik cache. Tablet booted perfectly into stock 4.04! Now just need to flash stock recovery and everything is back to stock

That was easy,,,,
I created This Zip from the last Stock Framewok
you just need to flash it through CWM
Note: this is a stock kernel so you if you install it you won't be able to flash anything anymore
but you'll still be able to enter it and do wipe data and cache only
Enjoy

Thankyou!!! Ill flash it now and report back

There doesn't seem to be an option in CWM mount/storage for me to mount /sdcard. Options available for selection:
mount /efs
mount /system
unmount /cache
mount /data
mount /preload
format /system
format /data
format /preload
ADB Drivers and GUI installed though.
