How to successfully fix “Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue”

My situation is that i can only enter download mode on the phone. I cannot enter recovery. Whenever i reboot the phone i get the "Firmware upgrade error screen"

Flashing firmware via Odin does not work. I have also tried flashing the correct PIT. (See attached)

If i understood the threads correctly there might be some hope in using a specific PIT to re-partition the emmc and once that was working, then flash the firmware. Something along the lines of what Milton Keynes and his mate Steff were writing about.

Thanks

Yeah i had a similar problem...

Obviously tnt would be best to answer but I managed it like this...

Downloaded Jelly bean 4.1... Can get it here

flashed that using Odin 3.04 clicking pda but didn't work so I tried again but clicking pit and repartition... . The phone restarted to the usual start screen

Installed philz touch via Odin 3.04

Cleaned cache, dalvic cache, cleaned for new rom install and restored a back up.... If you have one?

If not then flash kit kat stock on that mega link instead.

For some reason I couldn't get Jelly bean stock rom to complete installation so that's the work around that worked.

Let us know how you got on yeah

P.s...First pic looks like a connection problem.... Serial port?... And other pics... Where did you get that pit and what stock rom, they aren't from this thread are they?

How to successfully fix “Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue

The firmware and PIT came from a guy on Sammobile.

He said the PIT was good for my 16GB Note 2 when the problem first began. The firmware is the Samsung signed middle east version of 4.4.2. That's the latest firmware for my for my phone. Phone bought in the middle east and now running in Germany.

Is there any issue flashing that ROM in the link to a middle east phone?

What about this other PIT file. t03g_0907.pit. Is this a recovery PIT?

Thanks

Is your phone a GT-N7100?

If so then yup, you can worry about csc and stuff after your phone is working again eh... Mine is/was Korean but running French Firmware an Indian Kernel and Malay modern

Up to you mate Cus it's your phone but if I were you I'd forget about the pit file and the other stock rom that's in the screen shot and follow what Tnt has written or what I told you earlier.

The pit is inclusive in the 4.1 and 4.4 roms so just follow the procedure to the letter.

Let me know how ya get on and take some screen shots if it fails installation.

Cheers

How to successfully fix “Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue” for GT-N7100

Hi

No luck i'm afraid. I used your link for the Jelly Bean 4.1 firmware. Then using Odin 3.04 i flashed the firmware. No luck. See pic 001. Then i tried flashing firmware and checking re-partition. Again no luck. See pic 002.

Any other ideas appreciated.

Thanks

hello,

im using 4.4.2 stock firmware and have some problems with gyro/rotation sensors that im hoping to resolve with the rescue firmware, but im afraid because of downgrading the firmware. So can someone to confirm that the above procedure will work or ill just brick my device?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeT-Klb:
Maybe recalibrating will help:

Type *#0*# in the dialer and click on "sensor".

On the bottom left you can see "Magnetic Sensor" in a black circle. If there´s a 0 in it, you Need to calibrate like this:

~3x turn device around the perpendicular axis - a 1 should appear

~3x turn device flat around the axis - a2 should appear

~3x turn device sidewards around the axis - now a 3 and a blue line should appear

Sorry for my english - i tried my best.

Bro, I have a question: I HEARD that the IMEI is read from the motherboard, but I also heard that if you don't have a backup of your /efs folder from the original stock ROM then you're screwed?

Do you or anyone else know anything about how to get the original IMEI back without a backup of the /EFS folder? Problem is: I flashed a ROM on my Note 4 and it wiped my IMEI, replacing it with a generic IMEI (350050500009692), and now I can't get it back?

I would REALLY appreciate your guys' help (did NOT ruin my phone by following this post in particular, so I am hoping you all would help?).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaro666:
you can get phone to service and they'll restore IMEI with box.

[General Questions and Answers] ali20142014:
Hello everyone! I have questions on ROM backup and removing bloatwares which are also known as system apps which come in your phone pre-installed.

I have currently Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on my phone and it is rooted with Framaroot which I have downloaded on XDA itself. When I bought this phone, there were many pre-installed system apps along, but I have disabled all which I do not use.

Now, I want to completely remove them from my phone. I have heard that if I want to remove the bloatwares COMPLETELY from my phone, they will be gone forever and also they will not be appeared again even if I do a factory reset. If this is true, then I will need to backup my current 4.2.2 system including with the bloatwares, and then remove the bloatwares completely after backup. I will have to backup because in case of problem, I can recover it.

I have three questions at this time:

Is it true if you uninstall bloatwares COMPLETELY on your phone, they will not appear later even if you do a factory reset?

How can I backup my actual ENTIRE 4.2.2 system with its bloatwares etc, to store on PC and then will reinstall later in case of emergency? I have heard of custom recovery, but explain me more. I want to backup the entire system.

If I want to install the backup system again later, how to do it?

Thank!

I don't know about the gone forever thing but Titanium Backup Pro can backup & restore all system & user apps, it can also uninstall system apps
[General Questions and Answers] Ragkhuza:
Use Rom tool box to back up your rom. Or use No bloat from google play to remove boatwares.

Never underestimate a kid whose poor in cash but rich in time.
[General Questions and Answers] Herr Harro:
With a custom recovery like CWM oder TWRP you can do a backup of your whole system (called Nandroid). In case of an emergency (?) you can flash the backup to you phone and everything will be there again, even if you deleted all the bloatware apps afterwards.

You can also use Titanium Backup to backup all your data and to remove these system apps later on. Having this backup you can re-install the apps afterwards.

To wrap this up. Having a backup enables you to reinstall deleted apps and they won't be gone forever. However, when deleting the backup everything will be gone of course ;)
[General Questions and Answers] ali20142014:
Thank you for replying. I have another question, where to download ROM 4.2.2 for Huawei Y320-U10?
[General Questions and Answers] M_Maha:
You can boot into recovery mode of your phone and select backup, this will backup your rom with only system apps and not the ones you install later.

If you want backup of rom with your other installed apps and their app data then use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP or an application called Online Nandoid

If you want to backup individual apks use Titanium Backup ( needs root)

To delete system apps you can use Titanium Backup or use a ROOT EXPLORER to go to /system/app/ and delete the apks of unneeded apps.

Hi. I want to sell my phone so I'm looking for deleting all images.

Things to know: My galaxy s3 mini is rooted and have Carbon 4.4.2 ROM and Team Win Recovery

I tried those things:

- Delete the file mmcblk0p25 via File Manager

- Wipe Internal Storage

After I deleted the file mmcblk0p25 via File Manager it dissapears, but looking for deleted images (using Disk Digger app) I keep seeing the file and my images after I deleted it.

Need some help, thanks!

Is that a file recovery app?

It's not any different than any storage media. Files can sometimes be found even after formatting because they are not being overwritten at all, just wiped.

To be sure you probably would have to rewrite the whole block a lot of times before every fragment is gone.

What kind of top secret images is there? :)

Today i flashed CM 11 with CWM and after rebooting the baseband and IMEI were gone. I tried to flash the baseband but nothing happened. I then tried to flash the stock rom touchwiz through ODIN and it failed. Now the phone reboots asking to connect to KIES and do a recovery which i can't perform.

Any clues about?

Thank you in advance,

and now the CYM is back and working but still no baseband.

Is there any way i can reinstall the stock rom ? is the partition a problem?

I dont have a backup of the EFS folder (I made it once but i cant find it)

EDIT: CWM is installed and working
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt4ever:
is your IMEI Same..?

i assume there are several reasons, it can be a simple fix by installing a stock 4.4 KK which will eliminate the problem you are facing, iin past week, i done alot of experiences on my bricked note 2, specially the failed PIT flashed, i tried couple of them but at the end the only thing turned the phone in right direction was stock KITKAT

you can find that in the the post i posted earlier.

i am 100% sure you will get your phone back to life.

also remember to when you are done flashing go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache. It is needed after re-partiton to form the partitions correctly

edit: best keep a nand of your current rom as well

4.4.2

Just wanted to ask you something. I installed the Nordic version of the latest Android update which is at the moment the only one available and I have the impression that the voice quality is not that good. I was wondering if this may depend on the baseband version installed on this one. I'm from Italy and kitkat 4.4 is still not available in my country. Flashing a different baseband may change the situation? If so, Is there a baseband more compatible with this touchwiz version and the Italian telco providers?

Thank you again,
