Issues with firmware - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having issues installing stock firmware through Odin or Kies? When I go through Kies, it tries to install but pops up a message saying it can't recognize the phone; and when I go through Odin, it will try to find the PIT files than fail.

[Q] KIES firmware initialization doesn't work

It would appear that the latest version of Kies won't allow you to restore the stock firmware on an I317 device. It does however recognize it and shows the latest firmware. Once you try to reinstall the factory firmware, it tells you that you have custom software and won't proceed. I've even run Triangle Away and reset the firmware counter to 0.
Anyone else have a different experience or get this to work?
(My AT&T I317 is rooted and has the TWRC recovery installed).

There may be your answer. Uninstall custom recover, then use triangle away, that use SU to unroot and then try?
Possibly but thats not the behavior that Kies exhibited on the i717 .

Is your phone the i747 or i747m? What firmware did you try to flash using Odin?

[Q] ODIN Fail on Unroot and Restore Stock Attempt

I am trying to unroot and restore stock ROM so that I can sell my Note 2014 10.1.
I am using ODIN 3.09 and P600UEUCNK1_P600XARCNK1_HOME.tar.md5
ODIN keeps giving me a FAIL. Looks like "Cant Open Serial Port". I have attached a screen shot from ODIN.
Any ideas as to what I can do here?
Thanks
You need to extract the zip file, and edit .md5 off the end, leaving a .tar file to flash. Make sure you unroot via superuser, then factory reset, then download mode.....Will take 7-9 minutes. Wait for reboot, and removed to show in ODIN. Just did this myself, and device shows official, and recovery is stock, without even the Knox splash showing recovery bit! Easy breezy. I flashed on top of 4.4.4 bootloader the 4.4.2 .tar, and let it update OTA. T-Mobile P607-T Gluck!
Worked like a charm my friend...Thanks so much

I followed these steps. Flashed same tar file, and successful install. Although i cant update software because says my version has been modified. Anyway to still get updates and be totally stock?
Flash updates from Kies instead OTA is never going to work again.

[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered as issue.

Hi Folks,
I tried to update my gt-n5100(unrooted) to 4.4.2 through OTA and this stopped after 25% installing, then I tried Kies, but it got stuck at 0%.
I downloaded the firmware from sammobile and used odin to flash it...however it got stuck system img. After three (!?) hours I unplugged the phone and when I tried to go in recovery it said "Firmware upgrade encountered as issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I tried to connect to kies, but it fails to connect (maybe because it's in debugging mode). I've read that you should flash it with it's original firmware, but I can't find 4.1.2 anywhere.....at sammoble it only lists 4.4.2
I'm out of options...please help me, without this tablet I don't have a phone and a work tablet....
Kies 2 does not recognize 4.4.2, you must upgrade to kies 3.
Plus you may have not used Odin 3.09 which may fail during update. Once you go 4.4.2 you cannot go back. Don't try to flash 4.1.2 or 4.2.2.
I used kies 3...but to no avail.
I flashed with odin 3.09...... Do I have to repartition my phone with a pit file?
