[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I am new here so I will get right to it and I hope i don't break any rules :cyclops:
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-i9100 running jellybean 4.1.2
While i was on the internet on my phone suddenly it just booted and a screen saying "Updating apps 1of1" can't remember exactly I left it for like 30 minutes but nothing happened still updating so I took the battery out and turned it on and it then it started boot looping so I tried to factory reset it but still the same problem boot looping.
Then I asked a friend of mine for some help so he told me to download these files

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
this was my first time I have ever used ODIN I tried it but it failed after that i removed the batteries and put them back again and booted the phone and I am stuck with " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select a recovery mode in Kies & try again"
So I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261153 but my phone would not appear on the list of devices
after that I tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771 i followed every step and but all my tries were FAILs and I am still stuck with the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select a recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen
So how do I solve this problem?

You need to get an Odin flash to work, you won't be fixing it yourself any other way. Advanced search Hopper8's threads to find his 'Odin won't work' thread. Unless you want to take it to a service centre where they'll flash the latest firmware they have to the phone (and you'll be without your phone for a while).

Phone got stuck

Hello everyone, first of im sorry to sound annoying, but i really am annoyed with this, so let me try to explain.
I bought this Samsung S II i9100 like 2 weeks ago, i had previously a Galaxy I rooted with CM, and i wanted to root this one aswell.
I started rooting, and instaled CWM to flash the CM, and i couldnt do it, so i went and read the guide in CM wiki on how to install heimdall suite and flash CM.
Now here's when it got interesting ( not ), i followed the article
and did the step with the windows console.
it rebooted my phone and now im stuck.
I turn it On and it shows the samsung logo with a yellow brick and then does nothing just all black.
I can enter Download mode

How can i fix this? My bets is that i deleted my firmware and need to install it all over again.
Thanks and sorry for being a noob.
Reinstall to stock ROM=problem solved or try this.
Your kind of lucky that you can enter Safe Mode , go ahead and download your region's latest firmware and flash it through Odin , just go into download mode and wait for Odin to show that the phone is connected and flash away.
Good luck!

I am thinking of trying this. Is that a good idea?
Good Idea, I would try and odin back to life as a last resort too.
Looks like the download links are all dead?
Might be able to find some files here. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=developers&did=77

If u can get to recovery without any issues, clear cache n dalvik cache. Or if u can boot to download mode, install official Rom from the Sammobile site via odin. Note that the second method will wipe all data

Galaxy A5 2016 won´t boot, Odin shows instant fail message

Hey there,
my Galaxy A5 2016 (SM-A510F) is stuck in a bootloop, the Samsung logo always pops up, the Screen goes black, then the Samsung logo pops up again after a while and this keeps repeating itself.
I have still Access to the TWRP and can also boot my phone into download mode.
Well, a factory reset didnt help at all, I also tried flashing the updateSuperSu 2.78 root file but this wont break the Loop.
This is the reason why I decided to Flash the stock Rom via Odin, Odin recognises my phone, but as soon as I press start, Odin Shows the big red FAIL message in the upper left Corner. I will attack you a screenshot to Show whats going on. I also already tried it on different usb-ports, and tried serveral stock roms but everytime with the same result(even serveral 6.0 and 5.1 stocks!)
Now I really dont know what I can still do to make my phone boot again and am thankful for every helpful tip anyone can give. I dont want to buy a new phone since that one is still pretty new

I don't understand how Smart Switch could help your phone since it wouldn't boot.

Try to repeat the procedure, sometimes it might happen that odin get stuk, restart odin and get back to the download screen on your phone, you should be able to try again. If it keeps happening it might be that is the wrong version for your phone, I would suggest searching the original firmware on SamMobile and use odin to install that back.
Hopefully this helps, I'm no expert, just run into similar problems recently
