[Q] Phone does not boots up - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone can boot into download mode, but can't boot into Recovery or OS.
i want to flash a custom recovery and ROM, but have no idea how

First try to fix your problem by flashing the firmware. Hopefully you can enter the system or recovery afterwards.

@godig what have you done before? Did you try to install any custom rom, is that your case try to flash again the stock rom!

Well download an stock ROM and flash it via Odin that will solve. An advice do not flash anything if you don't have a backup, and do not flash nothing to your phone if is not for your phone!
Good Luck!

When you are in download mode, plug the phone to PC and check if Odin is able to detect it
If not, install samsung drivers or samsung kies and try again
Then, download this firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32162
After download, extract ZIP and don't rename the file with 'tar.md5' extension
Then try to flash it through Odin and wait...
If you flash was done correctly, phone will boot
If you get bootloop, reboot in recovery and make a wipe data/factory reset
Good luck

Maybe he already flashed a 4.4 version... and now he can't install 4.2...
It is better for him to try a 4.4 from now on...

back to GB Stock ROM, and you can use jelly bean 4.1.2 Frimware for your region country, flash with odin, put PDA and CSC, if your flash done, go to recovery mode, and clear data and cache , and now you can reboot , finish, your trouble is done

Hmm
Nop
But why don't you try different recoveries like Philz and TWRP downgraded versions.
If it works to open the recovery then you can flash any ROM you want.

It looks like you flashed a ROM for the t805 not the t705.
First let's get you back to stock.
Download the firmware for your device from the link below.
Follow the instructions to install it. This will get you up and running again.

Tbh I think you have a hardware issue.
Now new problem when I try to install twrp it will not do it, If I go into the system recovery and try to do factory reset an error shows as follows
E: unknown volume for path {/sbfs}
E: unknown volume "/sbfs"[/U][/U]

I thought it may be battery related but I have changed to a genuine new battery. still same issue

yes, but do it like that:

flash new bootloader - you can get it from stock rom, just unpack it, search for sboot.bin and pack it to tar with 7zip to get sboot.tar.md5
flash new modem - you can get it from stock rom, just unpack it, search for modem.bin and pack it to tar with 7zip to get modem.tar.md5
then go to recovery do a full wipe and flash your custom rom, like DN3
