I have one of the test phones for the s4 mini and it doesn't allow updates via kies but in the past I've been able to load the stock firmware via odin. does anybody know where I can download the stock? thanks in advance
Have you tried www.sammobile.com/firmware?
Our model isn't listed there. I believe someone posted the stock rom on here I'll see if I can find it.

Can you please do a dump first.
Pm if you need assistance doing that. It's all for development purposes.

Stock ROM for SCH-I435 Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. I only have 14 days on this site where the file is stored, had to pay $15 for an account cuz the download was so slow it was painful. I have the file safely at home now, and have flashed my bricked Verizon S4 mini back to like new stock. I bricked it with rooting on Towel root, or maybe kingroot, it was over a year ago, then I removed some of the wrong system files and it wouldn't boot anymore. Now it is stock 4.4.2, baseband I435VRUBOH3 BUILD # KOT49H.I435VRUBOH3 Configuration version B13.SAM.SCHI435.0 The phone hardware version is I435.05 . The link below is a full system image ready to flash with Odin, and I can atest to it works well. Put your phone in Airplane mode as soon as it comes up to prevent any OTA updates. The link is good until 5/20/17.

Need this please.
I have it somewhere. I'm inanely busy at the moment. I'll try to remember to check in here and put it on something like onedrive. I can't get to it this week.
hello every one
as the subject says if you soft brick your phone for whatso ever reason( and you are facing Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue on display when turning on,
then this solution might be very helpful for you
i was on 4.3 with MJ5 boot loader, made the mistake didnt checked the phone info and tried to downgraded the firmware caused my phone soft bricked
the worst thing i realized i didnt made any backup( even the EFS back up was lost)
in short the story is..
i asked couple of people for advise,
i tried following to bring my phone back
* Samsung Kies( recovery Modes by entering Device Serial Numbers and Model Name) Result: Failed, this device cant be upgraded/restored due to custom firmware
* Odin: 3.09 + stock firm ware ( 4.3 from O2uk and then 4.3 3 Uk) Result: failed, error message, missing PIT File
* Tried to find PIT File online but there are few places you can get stock 4.3 Firmware Extracted PIT File to flash) tried here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1927983, result failed
* then tried different firmwares ( European, French 4.3, UK 4.1 with and Without PIT file ( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) but failed again, the ODIN 3.09 was not helping out here
I was about to give up here but then steff advise me to try and flash rescue firm ware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32273406 link but only 2nd firm ware ( not the 1st or 3rd, ) for some reason the 4.1 rescue firmware link is down,( download from here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/qs9wigflyrwp8ip/N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar)
Android - 4.1.2
PDA - N7100XXDLL7
CSC - MULTI XEF_N7100OXADLL4
RADIO - N7100XXDLK7
DOWNLOAD_N7100XXDLL7_FACTORY (2012-28-12)(
and steff helped me out with his drop box to upload the rescue firm ware ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/gfdh3mgbv34c3ti/N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar )
any way by extracing the rescue firmware 4.1, and doing PIT file flash with Odin 3.09 didnt worked either, so as per advise i changed the Odin 3.09 to 3.07( download from ( Odin 3.07 - XDA-Developers)
i was successfuly able to flash PIT ( done this number of times , at first flashed rescue firmware with PIT File, failed half way cause the PIT was flashed but firmware couldnt went through, then flashed rescue firmware 4.1 alone
stopped half way, again started in download mode and flashed it went through and finally phone booted up)
* NOw the IMEI was gone, tried to enter phone engineering screen to update the IMEI from GPR Service Menu but failed
* i flashed MJ5 boot loader to see if it works fine failed again.
* Finally i was told to flash Stock 4.4 KK which will remove all bugs from the phone and hope fully the phone will boot with correct imei
downloaded 4.4 from this link ( https://mega.co.nz/#!2QRmCbyb!YkWs927BfvYxqL-vJiQHXkshqG3UtqHm4XIDbgLsEK0) fast download, and flashed successfully , which bring my note back to life
everything works fine
* I tried to flash 4.4.2 direct to see if it works( both with Odin 3.09 and 3.07 before flashing rescue firm ware but this didnt work either
* IMportant Points:
Avoid flashing any rom/kernal unless you are sure what you are doing
* always keep a nand back up prior to any flashing
* always read good enough before you flash
* and even if you read enough and something went wrong, use your phone for parts and pay for the charity at the end
i hope this is simple guide for you to sort your bricked phone from the error'' firmware upgrade encountered an issue please connect with kies''
special thanks to smeet.somaiya , singhpratik87 , , Logel, nitol, and Specially to steff195 for providing all links up and running
this will save time and money to those who are out of warranty
thanks

Thatd what I did, I downloaded, a stock 4.4 And flashed it using Odin, let me tell you I was scared!
@tnt4ever I always have problem flashing any firmware, official or custom, either the imei goes corrupt or phone goes in emergency calls only. Can I flash this firmware to get out of the situation and get OTA update for 4.1.2, 4.3 or 4.4.2.
Thanks.

@tnt4ever my problem is this...
Guys I have been experimenting with a lots of custom roms, but flashing them only results in emergency calls only. My imei remains intact but mobile network does not work.
I have tried flashing Wanamlite v3.9, Phoenix 13, Omega 17-18, tried changing modems, ariza patch, restoring efs via terminal emulator and note 2 tool kit.
Right now I am on XXDLL7 and DDDMG1 (patched using Zuluman's modem patcher and it worked!!!)
I have successfully flashed 4.4.2 dn3 v5 with patched kernel, but due to some reasons I prefer 4.1.2, and would like to use any of the four aforementioned custom roms.
Please help. Thanks.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay...
Dunno if the link provided by ibraahim is efficient for anyone having a problem, if it does, it's fine by me, but when I had troubles months ago (because I ticked "Nand Erase All" option in Odin, thus corrupting my bootloader and messing up my phone) I tried all the solutions from this link and, as tnt4ever well remembered to specify in OP, only the 2nd firmware from that link worked. That file was the only one to contain all three required files to re-write the bootloader and related stuff (param.img, tz.img, sboot.bin), along with the .pit file, for re-partition. Ibraahim's file is the one from the 3rd file from that link, so I remember it didn't contain all those files. But, I repeat, according to your phone's problem, that firmware could be just fine to fix your problem. For me, it didn't.
So, as OP stated, the links are not available anymore, but I have the file on my pc and uploaded (again) to my Dropbox, if anyone needs it. The problem is that Dropbox doesn't allow excessive file download and thus the file may become unavilable for download (as it did before). So, the one(s) who get to grab the file, is more than welcome to mirror it.
N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar
Btw, tnt4ever: didn't you already have this file, since you downloaded and tried it, so you could upload it somewhere?

Hello steff
Thanks for your detailed reply
As I said I am travelling at the moment
I do have the file saved in my pic you provided and I didn't get time to upload it
Any way I will do this in the first instance this week as I have to travel for work during the week and long week caused a lot of work delays
Thanks for the help but if you can advise where I can mirror it easily would be nice.

@tnt4ever, I flashed the above ROM but I still have problem with imei.... it becomes 0049×××. What do you suggest now.
Actually I don't want to flash any 4.3 or above Rom. I do get everything working on 4.3 and above with patched kernel and modem. But I need to get 4.1.2 working without tripping imei or getting emergency calls only.
Can you please find a 4.1.1 rom for me. Please.

hello Ibrahim
i find it really funny but to be very honest once you flash stock 4.4.2( download and flash with doing 3.07) then your imei issue will be sorted
i used stock 4.4 for few days then i rooted the phone and went back on latest dn3 v5+ rom
anyway once you got your working phone then you can Do whatever you want ( rooting flashing any rom you wish)
