Hi folks,
this evening i connected my S4A to my Mac and Kies told me there was an update and i decided to let Kies do what Kies can do (what seemed to be a _big_ failure). Kies messed up while uploading the new firmware to the device after just a couple of percent. After a reboot I now see a screen telling me: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I tried an 'recovery mode' with the recovery-code Kies provided. But this gets also stuck at just a few percent.
My next try was to use Odin with the approriate firmware i managed to download after somer hours (man - some servers are really slow theses days) but then i got the message about a missing PIT. =/
Does anyone have an idea of how i should continue from here on?
Regards,
Skavaer

Can you get into download mode at all? And why Kies? Is that all you have is Mac? I would say if you can get into download at all and have access to a windows device to Odin back to stock MF1. Sorry about your luck though

I can get into download mode and I already tried with Odin in a VirtualBoxed Win7 with the current FW .. (Odin in a VirtualBoxed Win7 to me usually works fine) .. but Odin wanted a PIT.
Why Kies? In my naivity I didn't even in my dreams thought Kies could mess up this bad =/.
Now my dumb question: where can I get a (3-part) stock MF1? Aunt Google was not helpfull.
EDIT: It finally worked - I just had to use the original USB-Cable ..
Good news there! Its amazing how much the cable can make a difference

Is there an update? Kies is telling me it does not support an update for my current version (MF3)

Exactly the same happened to me. I managed to return to previous state by flashing stock ROM i9295XXUBMK3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401301
However my issues with no sound and random reboots remain. How annoying it is to reboot phone once or twice everytime you want to make a phone call. And byebye receiving phonecalls.. If anyone knows solution to this, I'd be glad to try it.

Unable to root sgs gingerbread NEJVD
I have the same problem after upgrading to official firmware via kieys. Running PDA:I9000NEJVD, PHONE:I9000NEJV5, CSC:H3GJV6 on 3mobile.

Super laggy as well, Can i roll back to froyo? any help highly appreciated.

Did you try diffrent usb port on your cpu?
also..on the cpu that your using odin to flash , do you have kies installed?
if so make sure it isn't running ( i would uninstall just incase)
see if that helps.

I am interested in rooting too, and I have gingerbread. I have 2 problems though, first, I do not have the 3button combo working. I thought the gingerbread update would fix it, but no luck, and the method I found here did not work. I hear that you should not try to root without the 3 button combo working, but what choice do I have, samsung update did not fix this bootloader problem. I cannot put my phone in download mode without having it plugged in and recognized by adb.
My 2nd problem is that I have a I9000T and it seems nobody has this phone around here so I have no way of knowing if some of the rooting options even work for my phoen and firmeware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I actually have a i9000t, ive soft bricked a few times as long as you could get into download mode you should be ok, allways keep a stock rom around just incase to flash back to through odin.
Ive flashed a few modem with no problems, few roms with minimal problems..
Cm7 lost radio and weird pixle screen boot.
Deoxidized roms work good.
I had flashed Darkys 9.5 and everything worked till i noticed the stock music player gave me reboots.
I had tried flashing MIUI but no luck at all, could of been my zip. File was messed up but i tried a diffrent and still nothing.Now im on Darky 10.1 final no problems.
This has to be the most stable/fastest rom ive ever flashed.

hi.. do you have official kies installed on your computer?
if so uninstall it first... and installed the unofficial samsung driver.. sorry i cant post link here as am junior member..
you can search in google "samsung usb.rar". Once you download it, then installed it on your computer. Open you odin, put your phone in download mode,
and plug in to computer, then odin should be able to recognize your phone.
Once I have the same problem and it works for me with above step. hope that help.

Thanks for the reply! Ok, I finally manage to have the 3button combo work and get into download mode and recovery mode. I want to root, can you tell me if the odin method works on 2.3.3 stock, on I9000T . Also, How can I fully backup my phone. Which android version did you have when you rooted.
Also, I keep reading those very old threads and I was wondering what the latest Odin version is used for 2.3.3.

Turns out We/I have been using the wrong button combo for download. Download mode is: Vol DOWN+Home+Power On.!!! Recovery mode is Vol UP+Home+Power On.

I don't have a galaxy tab, but it should be similliar to my galaxy s. I think your device is NOT bricked. As long as you can get to download mode, your device is NOT bricked. If you can get there, you should try to flash with odin/heimdall again. I think you must have done something wrong in the flashing process. AFAIK the logo is displayed by bootloader (primary), so if nothing went wrong with flashing the secondary one (download mode), you should be able to flash again.
Hi everyone, can somebody help me.
I received an update to 4.0.4 via OTA for the last 3 weeks, i ve been trying to update it and even thru kies but always saying "Failed to Update Firmware."
In OTA, the firmware finished downloading and when it reboot, the green robot's blue meter only ends up at around 10% and will reboot again normally and a pop up will appear saying failed to update.
Im so tired of this, and when i tried kies, when it finished downloading the firmware for almost an hour, and after my phone reboot, it stucked on the Green Robot logo, saying "Downloading.... Don't disconnect..." and its just there for an hour. Nothing's happening. and i'll just restart my phone and still on 4.0.3...
guys, please help me... you can email me...
im really desperate to update my firmware because my battery sucks in 4.0.3...
thanks in advance guys...

You got 2 options I can suggest bud.
1st one.
First of all, have you already tried unintalling kies and all the Samsung usb/adb drivers off your computer? If not, do try to uninstall all of them (that includes removing all 'samsung' folders in your pc (program files/program filesx86 and in your system registries). Then try to reinstall them again.
Second. When connecting your phone to your PC. Make sure your connected to a strong usb port signal. Some Usb ports(on older pcs) have weak usb signals making your connection weak. I suggest you plug your usb cable preferably at the back of your PC (where the usb port/s have fairly good signal connections). If your using a laptop, try to unplug and plug it back on different usb ports to have better usb connection.
That's it. see if Kies will detect your phone already.
2nd option.
Instead of using KIES (Samsung's proprietary sync s/w sometimes sucks big time you know... ), how bout you just try using PC ODIN to flash 4.0.4 ICS stock? You can try to download your specific 4.0.4. stock ICS from your region from here - www.samfirmware.com.
You can try either one of the 2 options above.
Hope it helps a bit. :good:
Cheers.
Don't forget to hit me up a 'Thanks' button if I've helped you some way or the other.

Use Odin to flash the rom you want, it's more safe and fast.
Is your Device Rooted ? If yes then it is the reason. Un root it and it will be fine.

So I just updated the kies windows app and it notified me about the firmware upgrade for my note. After starting the process it properly downloaded the update to the pc and like the normal process, it automatically restarted the phone and started downloading data onto the phone with the 'Downloading..' screen on the phone. The problem is it is stuck at 13% fr the last 1 hour. What to do now?
is it still stuck?
what upgrade was it? do you know the name of the new firmware?

Yeah it is still stuck It is the latest upgrade. As of last week the Note was up to date. I am from India so it is the latest version DDLRB.
Download it from samfirmware. Com and install it via pc odin. better for now.
warrantee
if you want to feel lucky, at own risk, disconnect phone, observe failed message and follow instructions on screen to do a special recovery throught Kies.

Did just that, it gave me a recovery code and I followed the steps for emergency recovery. The recovery started properly but now the recovery itself is stuck at 6% for the last 15 mins ;( I am the unluckiest guy in the world. What to do now?
the process has been running in the background the whole time and I did not interfere in any way, didnt remove the usb or put anything else.

Ics ota updates or through Kies are notorious for failing half way. Stock with pc Odin as nokiamodeln91 says.

Problem Solved
thanks guys for all the replies but I just solved the problem by basically connecting the phone to another pc.
I installed kies on another pc, and connected the device. On this kies emergency firmware recovery dialog box I entered the recovery code that the earlier pc had shown. The second kies then downloaded a recovery firmware and was successfully able to fully restore the device without any loss of config or data.

Hmm, does it charge? It may have been bricked. If there is no chance of returning it or warranty then I'm not sure what to do. Since it seems it's been this way for a few days, you may have to be creative. I've had mine fail a few times via Odin and after a few times holding the power I would get back to the kies screen on the Gear which I would try to fix in the recovery part of kies and that would not work since I wasn't installing the update via Kies. But moral of the story was after trying to see the gear in kies and failing, I again tried with Odin 3.09 and it would see the device again. Where I loaded the Odin version which failed, then rebooted gear and tried 2nd time and closed my eyes.. and it loaded. I would make sure nothing is running in the background ( 1st fail I noticed windows detecting device halfway through Odin flash and that caused my issue).
Also if you have another device like a samsung phone, you may see that device in Odin (only suggest this as a way to test if Odin and windows drivers for samsung device are loaded). But hopefully with some reload of the drivers on you computer (on that....try another computer if possible) you will have some success.
If you try all that and it's a no go and still crazy colors and lines.....only thing I can think of is to let battery die and then connect charger and see if it charge's or goes to charge screen. Let me know if you can get to anything else...

Ditto - rushed into the update before reading up properly and ending flashing with latest Tizen when I should have used the older version with boothloader. Thought I'd recovered the situation when I managed to flash with Android 4.2.2, Odin showed as completed but the Galaxy Gear continued to be stuck on the downloading screen albeit with a download bar showing however it did not reset. Switched it off after a while and then that's when the corrupt screen started and failure to be recognised by the pc
Any help would be appreciated before it hits the bin.............
