Hello,
I ran this tar file through odin: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322046 but the flash failed for some reason. Then when I restarted my phone, it got stuck on this screen: Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again. I tried reinstalling drivers, kies, killed anything related to Samsung or kies, another usb port, another tar, redownloaded tar, ran odin through administrative permissions, and nothing worked. I know I can recover my phone since it boots up, but Idk what else to try. Any help is appreciated!

OMG, it is flashing now! It was the damn USB port! I knew something was up, but just couldn't put my finger on it. Actually, come to think of it, the port wasn't detecting a flash drive I had a few months back, but suddenly started to. Also, that port DID recognize my phone, but it kept failing the flash. Anyone know why?

Make sure that kies is NOT running in the background while Odin Is up. Check using task manager
