Question: I tried to install a custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite, but it got disconnected halfway through. It now says

> 
> Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies
> 
> 
> 

So I downloaded Kies and connected my tablet, but every time Kies says "connecting...", there is a connection error and the tablet disconnects from the PC.

Any help?

Answer: 
This is a known issue with the `goya` board.

Steps to solve this:

1. Download the official TWRP recovery for this device. [Download Link](https://twrp.me/samsung/goya.html)
2. Boot into recovery.
3. Go to Advanced > Terminal.
4. Type in `busybox reboot` and press Enter on the virtual keyboard. This will make the device boot back into system.
FLash TWRP Recovery and from there go to Reboot ---> Bootloader
