If you don't want to lose important data or find upgrading firmware with Kies is too troublesome, you can try the following two methods to fix "firmware upgrade encountered issue" error without Kies.
The first method that we introduce in this part is a super simple one: using FonePaw Broken Android Data Extraction (opens new window) to unbrick Samsung phone in one click. The program can fix devices with system errors caused by upgrade/root failure, for example, fixing Samsung phone stuck at Download mode, boot screen, black screen and others. And recently some users discovered that it can also be a solution for fixing firmware upgrade encountered issue on Samsung.
Step 2. Run the program and choose Broken Android Data Extraction > Fix Device. Since there is no option for "firmware upgrade encounted an issue" error, choose Others and click Next.
If Broken Android Data Extraction doesn't support your Samsung device, you can use Odin3 flash tool to manually flash a new firmware and fix the firmware upgrade issue. Flashing a ROM (opens new window) will also delete all data on your device.
That is a software issue either one of these should work. If you don't want to lose data, flash downloaded samsung firmware from sammobile with the matching model number of your device located either in the battery compartment on a label or on the back of your device on a label or printed on the back of the device.
If you don't need to backup data then you can either use Samsung kies (software you can download from samsung) with firmware upgrade and initialization (It will ask for model number of device and serial number of device). If you need to turn the device off you can do so by taking out the battery for a few seconds and putting it back in or holding volume down + power for 8-15 seconds to force shut off. If it's already off, put it in download mode as explained previously before starting the firmware upgrade and initialization if you do decide to choose that.
You may need to restore the software on your phone via Samsung Kies. You do it via Tools > Firmware upgrade and initialization. This will prompt you to enter the model number and the serial number of the phone which is usually at the back of the phone or in the battery compartment.
If the Samsung Kies method does not allow you to download the firmware for your phone then you'll have to go to where you type your model number of your phone to find the firmware for your phone. Make sure you choose latest version to the network it was mainly with.
Step 4 : Kies will warn you that the firmware upgrade and initialization process will erase all your data and settings and your phone will be updated to the latest firmware version afterward. Click OK to continue.
