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.

This Thread might help to learn the step to use PC Odin and Selection Firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
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.
not rooted

Nope, my device is not rooted. thanks
Help please. After trying to reflush my old firmware with Odin, it got as far as OSM -All threads Completed, (successful /0 ,Failed /0)
It got stuck in there so I had to remove the battery and try again but it just keeps doing the same thing. After disconnecting from the computer
all I have now is three small icons on the screen: one tiny phone, a triangle with exclamation mark and a computer. I downloaded Odin and the correct firmware from this site, so what has gone wrong and how do I proceed?
Many thanks
You need to enter download mode again and reflash

Hi,
Thanks for that.
After several trials, I did manage to get back in download mode and managed to flash the installed Firmware 2.3.6 without any problem.
After resetting, everything seemed to be working fine. However, I left it turned off overnight, switched it back on again this morning but
nothing has changed. My original problem was that on switch on, it takes ages for the phone to activate. I get the welcoming screen
that goes away, comes back for anything up to 5 minutes until it eventually goes on to full screen and everything works well.
So what is causing this problem and what else can I do
Hello
I have tried to update my Galaxy Mini's firmware using Samsung Kies. Kies just shut down once the progress bar for the download reached 100%, it never installed it. I have tried using the Emergency Recovery Code but the same thing happens. The phone will no longer do anything - turn on or off. It just looks like there is power - the screen appears to be backlit.
Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Sorry I should have also said it's an S5570!
put your phone into download mode
it may look like phone--!--computer instead of yellow triangle
then just flash a four package firmware with the help of odin multi downloader
Hey guys. Ive had a note 3 before in the past and have used the Root DelaVega to root successfully. This was early in the year. I sold my old note 3 for an HTC One. Well today i traded my HTC One back for a note 3 as i missed the Note 3. As soon as i came home i attempted to use the Root DelaVega method to foot (just like i did before) and immediately it failed.
I have been stuck on a screen saying "firmware update encountered an issue - select recovery in Kies" so i tried Kies 3.2 however it says my device is not compatible. Come to find out after doing research (talking to the original owner i traded my HTC One for) the Note 3 i have is on the latest version of KitKat 4.4.2 that is not compatible with the Root DelaVega method or any root method - so i screwed that up. I can successfully boot in and out of download mode. Ive tried to flash N900XXUDNA6 4.4.2 in Odin several times, it begins then fails almost immediately and the bar on the phone itself (in download mode) begins then freezes shortly after beginning. Ive also tried to flash N900XXUDNC1 JellyBean thru odin and get the same results - almost immediately fail and the blue status bar on the phone freezes when it barley begins. What else can i do??? am i totally screwed? Ive been researching and trying to fix this for 6 straight hours now! My gf is about to kill me for being online so long Is there anything i can do at this point? Am i stuck
[UPDATE] .after looking around all day i have found i am able to successfully flash the n900a AP, CP, and PIT files, however the problems seems to be whenever i try to flash a Bootloader file. The update gives me the error on the phone "SW REV CHECK FAIL" FUSED 3 BINARY 2. My knox counter is still 0x0. By flashing the at&t AP, PIT, and CP files the phone now boot loops and no longer takes me to the screen requesting me to restore thru KIES. However all it does it bootloop. I try to boot into recovery and it will tell me at the top left of the screen "booting recovery" but then just turn off and go right back to the "samsung galaxy note 3 screen" Does anything have any idea here?????

Is there a tar for the AT&T firmware? I've searched but this was all I could find.

Yeah, it seems that the N900XXUDNA6 is not for the US Variant
"N900XXUDNA6 Android 4.4.2 KitKat official firmware update for Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 is now rolled out by Samsung. This is the first KitKat official firmware for Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900. The firmware update rolled out in various countries including Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russia, Thailand and India"
The DNA6 would be for the SM-N900 Exynos CPU devices, not the SM-N900A Snapdragon. That is probably your problem (In addition to trying to roll back to JB from KK)
Unfortunately, I dont know of any stock KitKat firmware. There is MI9 on Samfirmware's site, but that is JB not KitKat

You could try to stop the boot, go back into Recovery and wipe cache, and wipe all data. I had an experience with my last device (SGSIII) that would boot loop sometimes when flashing back to a stock ROM.
Other than that, I dont have any other ideas
Just Googled the "SW REV CHECK FAIL" FUSED 3 BINARY 2", from what I found the Fused 3 means you were on Kit Kat, and Binary 2 basically means you are trying to downgrade to JB
It wont let me even boot into recovery. I hold the buttons and it boots back up saying "booting into recovery" like it is, then it just boot loops again.

The only other things I saw on that, suggested to users(on a different Samsung device) to use a jig to get it back into recovery. I am not familiar enough with the N3 yet to know if a jig will work on our devices. My guess is you messed up the bootloaders
Edit** I think that since things are so locked down that your best bet might be to try what jerrycoffman45 suggested a few posts ago

My local at&t and best buy aren't very helpful for anything at all. ill keep googling ive been at this for 2 days now
There is no firmware to download for 4.4.2 yet so you are stuck till there is or do what I suggested you could also do a warranty exchange by calling att and you can't just go to any att store it has to be a service center

if you reboot by holding the power for like 10 sec, can you get to recovery? Or download mode?

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.............

Then rooted it...
