Back to basics... - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
In an attempt to root my phone (which I was successful in), I accidentally removed the default photo app that comes standard with my S4 Mini (and a few other things...). Is there any way to freshly reinstall Kitkat? (4.2.2)
Also, I'm kinda new... and I wasn't sure where to post this, so if there's a more appropriate area for this thread, please let me know.
Thanks for reading

4.2.2 is JB, not KK.

I think he meant 4.4.2.
This would fit better in the Q&A section.
But to answer your question : just reflash the firmware with Odin.

Nah, my mistake, it's definitely Jellybean.
Ah that's great. Where can I get hold of the firmware?

Sammobile.com ☺

You have to look for GT-I9195 not I9190 which is 3g variant not sold in UK

I thought 4.1.1 had it too.
I'm stock and not very experienced to install a rom from here, seems very difficult.
I hope 4.2 soon comes from Google.

A. It's the opposite of difficult. If you can read you are more than capable of flashing a rom.
B. 4.2 already came from Google. Where did you think it came from? Apple?

I read quiet well but I also read about how people brick their phones cause something goes wrong.
I mean an official one that I download and update thru my phone.
Well the official one has come from Google as well so if you haven't got it, chances are that your phone is updated by Samsung instead

Why does Samsung update the nexus as well as google?
We all have the same phone don't we?
I have android 4.1.1 and no update if I search.
Strange why we don't get the 4.2 all at one's?

Obviously you don't "read quiet well" if you have to ask. There are multiple variants of GNex, each dependent on a different provider for the update (Google, Samsung, Sprint and Verizon).

1.) Download and install Samsung Kies
2.) Plug your phone in.
3.) If you are on stock, Kies will notify you that you have an update available.
4.) Happy Flashing.
Please discuss the receiving of JB in the sticky thread
Thanks

Did you try to root or flash a zip? How did you attempt to upgrade to 4.4.2? Did you ODIN or flash the zip?
Just tried to update with the original Sammobile firmware

Pretty sure you flashed the wrong thing if you got it from here, this is the Sprint forum, and judging by your signature you have the TMo variant... and now you're probably screwed because you can't downgrade your firmware. Read read read, and don't flash stuff that's not for your phone.

could he not go into download mode and try to flash his stock rom?

No because he flashed the 4.4 Bootloader and they don't have 4.4 yet, so flashing the 4.3 firmware will brick it... He should be able to Odin a recovery and wipe everything and flash a new ROM.

Stock Samsung Kit Kat ROM without Knox & root (stable)

Which Stock Samsung Kit Kat ROM without Knox & with root do you all recommend?
Must be stable since I'll be using this phone abroad for months and I don't want to have to keep flashing a ROM often.:good:
I just want it to "work" and not have to worry about anything.

Well its mean we have to wait to some one start to develop a new one without those things!
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I guess it's better I stay on stock 4.2.2. Any stable recommendations?
Any other suggestions?

[Q] Wiped System in TWRP by accident...

Hi there everyone. As I was attempting to do a full restore, I accidentally selected 'system' vs selecting 'internal storage'
I've been looking around for stock firmware to flash via Odin, but haven't found much. I looked at SamMobile for firmwares but couldn't find anything for the US region. Anything else I can do? Can someone help me? Thanks.

In sammobile search for Southern Cellular. That's usually the USA one.
** Oops, Cellular South I meant .

Just posting for closure; the Cellular South firmware does indeed work. Unbricked and already restoring backups.
