Went into twrp v2.8.7.0 to check something then a reboot when red text appeared int hte upper left corner where stock recovery does saying "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and eventually went into "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again" the damn thing will not connect to kies in any way, shape or form I have 2 usb 3.0 ports and 2 usb 2.0 ports. I've tried multiple cables- anker, samsung you name it-musical ports, tried right clicking the 4 usb port hubs and unchecking power saving in power mgnt- nothing- uninstalled kies and reinstalled not checking unified drivers but it will not connect to kies. It isn't recognized by the Samsung drivers yet my the usb drivers see my note 4 is, in device mngr, the note tablet shows up in usb at the bottom as samsung device, I am just perplexed as to how to un**** this thing. If anyone has any suggestion, please let me knoiw thanks

I ended up on that screen recently after a failed firmware flash in Odin. I was attempting to flash the latest 5.1.1 firmware I found on Sammobile. My note (P600) has a finicky micro-USB port, so that could have been the problem.

On second try, it worked just fine. Even though Windows explorer wasn't recognizing my tablet, Odin saw it just fine (you can see where it says "added" after plugging it in). I'd recommend giving that a try.

Thats what got me ant the kies thing besides everything pointing kies being the only way out- odin didnt recognize it's existence- plug, unplug nothing on the odin window… I was actually on 5.1.1 and was fine I just don't know who the hell went wrong

Hi no it goes right to "Please select recovery mode in kies and try again" nothing else when I was able to get to download mode before it was not showing up in odin at all.
