Help!
My careless mistake and now my phone is stuck with a message “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again”. I was trying to flash my rom back with stock rom and it killed. Could it be due to I forgot to enable “USB debugging” after I did a “Factory Reset” which causing my odin 1.85 to failed so I interrupted and now it is stuck? Anyhow, is this issue reversible and if so, how?
Phone: Sprint Note 3
Very much appreciated!

Thank you Bigbabo! It's working now! BTW; changed out the cable, odin v1.85 to v3.04, USB 3.0 to 2.0, using different stock rom, and rebooted PC. I am not sure which did the trick, but thanks for given me hope! You made my day!!!
Sincerely,
Tom
