Odin flash pass, But Shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..."

[Android Central Question]

I have an Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos (SM-G355H), been a while since I last used it. But, when I try using it again it's stuck at samsung logo and can't use go to recovery mode (TWRP) so I use odin and flash my old stock rom, but when it boot it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again.", so I thought something gone wrong with the flash, I first thought it was the old rom so I downloaded a new stock rom and flash it, again odin say it pass but when it boot the same message show up. How can I fix this? any advice?

What happened when you tried recovery in Kies?

I've tried "Firmware upgrade and Initialisation" from Samsung Kies3 but doesn't support SM-G355h...

Make sure you are using the correct USB cable (not a thin charging one), try an older version of kies. The other thing I would try is using different versions of Odin.

I'm using samsung USB cable, I've already tried Kies ver.2, same result. I've also tried lower version of Odin but shows same results

Hmm I'm running out of suggestions other than to ensure you are running Kies and Odin in administrator mode and also make sure Kies isn't running in the background when using Odin and vice-versa

Already tried your suggestions, still doesn't show different result...

No other failure in Odin, like a failure on the last line, and the module it was flashing on the line above that?

No other errors, however I'm confused about the RQT_CLOSE! line in the log... currently researching what it means... whenever I flash a new rom it Odin claimed it pass but shows the same error when it boot

Don't use PIT
Extract that file you used
Put each one in the slots

Can you boot up the phone?

I can boot it only to download mode, I can't boot to recovery or even the samsung logo

Very strange , prior to flashing you had TWRP on the phone?
