Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Brick - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I need help.
I rooted my samsung galaxy s4 mini, and all was well, until I used some theme chooser app, which took forever to load a theme, so I took the battery out, and now it wont load past the samsung logo.
Phone details:
Has cwm.
Australian Telstra version of the phone.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE GT-I9195T
I know I could simply redownload firmware and re-flash. But the firmware is over 1gb, and on very mimimal data this isnt a option.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try clearing data and cache. If that don't work, the only option is flashing a new one...

I think I know the problem.
I tried setting a theme and i was on a stock rom.
Would installing a custom rom fix the issue?
Thanks.

Why bother paying when u can fix it yourself. As suggested by users above try cache and dalvik wipe first. Then if it does not fix, wipe data.
You need to be in recovery first. Press and hold power + home + vol up keys till phone vibrates. In recovery choose the wipes mentioned above. Keep in mind that data wipe or factory reset all apps u installed , contacts , messages and google account if u have one. Good luck.

Ive done that so many times. Never ever works.
I decided Id bite the bullet and just download the stock rom and reflash. IT FAILS EVERYTIME.
IM willing to pay anyone who can provide me a direct link to the rom I require, meanng know capthcas have to be filled out etc.

What version were you using? 4.2.2 or 4.4.2?

@iJoshAU
if you have nandroid backup you can restore it. If not, downloading entire stock rom is the only option. Go to sammobile.com and use the firmware section to get stock roms for I9195T.
Again repeating :: since data wipe did not work for u , restoring nandroid/ CWM backup is one option and flashing stock rom is another. good luck.
NOTE :: If u are already on kitkat bootloader you CANNOT downgrade/flash jellybean stock rom. you can flash only kitkat stock rom.

Laggy / Slow Note 2 even after stock restore

Hi guys, so I have a problem with my Note II. I installed a rom yesterday which is where these problems seem to start from. The phone is glitchy, and when the screen is left of for more than 2 minites or so, it wont turn on unless I remove the battery. Also, after I re-boot the battery level is normally 10% less than before. Another issue I had is that I couldn't boot into recovery after flashing this rom however I have no fixed this by using Odin to re-flash CWM recovery.img. But even after going back to by stock backup I made in CWM before I flashed this rom, the problem still persistes (Laggy, freezes)
All I can think of is that this Rom (Omega 3.0) uses AROMA to install, could that be a issue?
Any Ideas anyone? Im not worried about any of the files on the device just want to get it sorted!
Thanks

Not at all its as easy as a cupcake
Just know the terms for it
Would you hear a brotherly advice (which i would do myself?)
Use the superwipe script from Android Revolution HD and install mike's ROM. It should have the same effect as odin wipe, only better...
Mike's roms are known to be the best ever. They are totally stock! just extreme perfomance...
So its better thsn going back to stock

Right okay that sounds like a plan, I dont know if I will be able to keep the phone on long enough to download all thta and as I cant connect it to the computer unless its in download mode :/ I could give it a go though, could you post a link to what I need please? Yes, im a complete noob
Put the ROM of your choice on internal sdcard (I also put the same zip on the external just in case something goes wrong)
Make the appropriate backups of apps, data, contacts, sms, pictures and whatnot.
Reboot into recovery and do a full wipe, explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909868
Flash ze ROM.
Edit: In CWM, this is how I do a full wipe.
Format system
Format data
Format cache
Format preload
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Sometimes I also do the "fix permissions" at this point.
Then I flash the ROM.

Because superwipe wipes anyyyything! On the phone. Anything.
It couldnt be sofrware issue...
Try to go back up on stock rom, restore your EFS (if you backed it up!) and claim warranty? there must be a solution with sammy for this...
This isnt normal... you can try :good:
I think thats what im gonna have to do I did try superwipe and still nothing. Is there a easy way to go back to stock? Using odin? Will I have to delete CWM for this? :S

And i just found the backup/restore EFS tool for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922473
Yup you have to go to stock using ODIN...
Try to flash ALIH? I dunno...i thinkthat would be better and less suspicious

Atleast first flash stock rom from sammobile.com (not the rooted ones here)... And then restore EFS...
Then apply check: try to start cwm recovery :good:

Why restoring EFS?? Also i dont think that restoring EFS is ging to erase cwm
Stock roms from sammobile (full roms) include recovery.img, so after flashing with Odin he is going to have stock recovery.After that through stock recovery, wipe cache+wipe data/factory reset.
And before visiting repair center, flash stock rom from sammobile and check your phone if problem is still there. I think that somehow with the custom rom and restoring cwm backup you f***ed up software

Restoring EFS because he is going to give his Note in warranty...
Until you backup and restore your original EFS, samsung keeps the track of the number of times you flash so it does not accept warranty.
Restoring EFS is the only chance to claim warranty.
restoring EFS doesnt remove recovery.. hmmm...
Is there any way to remove recovery?

In order to remove cwm recovery, just flash a full stock rom with pc odin
Are you sure about warranty and EFS? In order to backup/restore original EFS you need root, so one way or another you need to flash one or more times
Are you 100% sure?

[Q] How to uninstall cyanogenmod 10 but keep the root? im new

hello everyone this is my first time asking a question on here so forgive if i got this in the wrong section.
i was wondering if you all could tell me how to "uninstall" cyanogenmod 10 off my samsung epic, but without unrooting.
i like cyanogenmod but i have to get it off because i cant change phone lines within my account because in order to put service back on my phone sprint wants me to dial ##somenumbers# and a menu is suppose to pop up but it doesnt and i think i read somewhere around here that you dial those "codes" in the dialer because they wont work.
soo I followed qbkings method to root my phone. youtube title = how to root the samsung epic on FC09
then i installed cyanogenmod10 using his method again
I did this to two samsung epics since i have two samsung epics at my disposal and i would follow qbkings method of unrooting
but i tried that on of the epics but odin failed and it got completly bricked and I mean hard bricked. so i am extremly fearful of even attempting qbkings unrooting method since i completly bricked one of the epics trying to unroot it.
and i was thinking that since i followed qbkings method i just need to go to recovery mode after turning off the phone and then clear everything data and cache.
and then do the install zip from sd card and just install the deodexedFC09 zip file that i previously put on the card when i was rooting my phone.
and then that would be it but i am extremly fearful of messing with the phone like that because i really dont want to brick my phone so i come to you all today for your help on this because i am new to rooting and flashing roms on my phone so i didnt really know whereelse to ask.
Ive tried looking for help on the forums and the web but i did not find nothing so i just rather ask then ...
You can buy a jig for like $1-2 to jump the bricked one back in dl mode then flash full stock, as for the other, there is a boot from sdcard rom that will enable you to activate your phone without uninstalling cm10

Also, you can just flash a tw mtd rom to get those dialer codes woring... just flash TPR (the peoples rom) after backing up cm10... flash tpr, boot it, call sprint, do your thing, restore backup of cm10... all done...
alright ill try that but can you tell how to flash the peoples rom? or anyother rom for that matter.
i assume that i boot into recovery mode and clear everything and install from sdcard and look for the zip of the rom? im not sure if thats how to do it? if not can you explain to me how?

That's exactly right. Remember to wipe data in cwm. Use titanium backup to back up any 3rd party apps and data you need first.

do you have a link to where i can download the rom?
All ROMs are in the development subforum:

alright thanks man hopefully everything goes well.
i download the mtd one right ? since i have cyanogenmod 10
alright just to be clear
1st i download the peoples rom on my pc and transfer it to the sd card.
then 2nd I boot into recovery and click on backup ? correct
3rd after that is done i wipe data and factory reset?
4th I wipe cache partition
5th go to advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache?
6th install zip from sd card and look for the peoples rom and install that right?
this would be how to install the peoples rom if i have cyanogenmod 10?

Boot into recovery, go to backup and restore, press restore, press on the backup you just made (the name will be the date). And press restorre... once you boot into recovery, its pretty self-explanitory from there on out...

I had this issue back when I had my original Evo. I just flashed it back to a stock rooted Sense ROM and it worked. If it is a stock TW ROM (The Peoples Rom is), then all Sprint codes will work.

[Q] wont let me factory reset

i recently tried to root and put cwm on my sprint galaxy s3 and after i tried in the process i tried to wipe/factory reset and it says it finishes but in red lettering it says cant mount cache and some other things...after i tried wiping my phone would not let me back on my rom and it got stuck on samsung logo, it would still let me in recovery and download mode, then i tried a stock lj7+count reset one click odin app and it put me back to stock but when i go on the phone when it starts up it says the errors that android.acore and android.process and stuff has stopped working...pleaseeeeee help fix ive tried everything and what ive tried doesnt work..
which version of CWM? the newer S3s have mounting issues that has been discussed here New recoveries for new phones that won't mount storage!!
ive tried cwm and stock recovery...its not just cwm
Have you tried just using Odin and the stock tar file? That's what I would start with.
ive tried that
As Jdelano said the e S3 have been modded by Sprint/Samsung in order probably to avoid you from rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
If you use the recoveries found in the OP of the thread he linked you to they have been fixed to work with the new S3's.
Keep in mind you will be able to complete all recovery functions and be able to flash any custom TW rom you choose to, but you will NOT be able to flash AOSP style roms.
Have a great day!
Listen to Ed, he knows all, lol.

Version main: 4.16.401.10 and CID Num is: HTC__001
I have done a factory reset, cleared the delvic cache, data cache.
I get two error message when android boots up, HTC Dot View has stopped and another error message, System UI has stopped.
Can anyone help me? Thank you
You're in luck, shouldn't be to hard to fix. If you have the stock/working system ui apk you should be able to install it as an app. I had the same problem after using softkeyz. If you need the apk dm @ [email protected]

Looks like you either deleted something or corrupted something in system. You can find the ota below if you don't still have it on your phone.
Flash that and you should be good. You need the correct stock recovery installed.

Restart the phone, then once it boots before doing anything tap the app drawer and go to settings. Go straight to the apps, and navigate to all apps. click on the HTC Blinkfeed app, and clear the data. After that go to HTC Dotview and clear the data. Restart the phone again. This should fix your problem. I had this problem a few times after doing a restore of my nandroid.

Resolved!!
This issue was resolved by installing the stock recovery, going into data wipe and factory reset. Then restaring the phone. Phone boots up and is working as normal!! Woohoo i been spending most of the weekend trying to fix it and it turned out to be so simple. Thanks to everyone that helped me.

You will need to find your stock recovery.. Flash it from your custom recovery i.e twrp.
Boot into your stock recovery and go into wipe data/factory reset option.
That resolved the issue for me.

[Q] Urgent- Does anyone knows the method to wipe Note 2 (N7100) completely

Does anyone knows a method to wipe Note 2 (N7100) completely and reinstall the stock firmware?
I am having issues with calls. The person who called cannot hear me nor can I hear them. I tried with stock roms, custom roms, different modems but no go.
The issue remains intermittent.
I have used nand erase all in odin and even used pit but old partitions always stay there, for eg- modem, kernel always stays there no matter even if I wipe them from Philz recovery.
So I request you to point me towards the right method or tool to completely wipe my Note 2 and reinstall stock firmware or custom (doesn't matter).
P.S. I am ready to do anything (not hardware) to my Note 2 to wipe it completely.

Answer:
root phone....
Install custom recovery...(PhilZ) or if U R allready on TWRP itll do fine...
Do full wipe( factory and data reset-wipe all to install new rom-yes)
Clean cache
Clean dalvick cache in advanced
Restart recovery....
Phone is clean
Or...
Download ODIN and STOCK Firmware... and ...
U r done! Hope helped...
And there is Rom nuke app. Zip... Find it, i do not have link for now. But, that what has been written will help U.
And... if U have anything important to save-save it before all!!! Titanium or any ellse backup app will do, or/and back it up from recovery also! Twice is always better! And, if U do not wanna install new rom and that new rom isnt on Ext Sd- reamove it, just in case before deleting all(wiping) but after backup(i just asume that ull store backup on Ext Sd card)

There is solution for that. Do remap partition with Odin. U can find stock partition formats on XDA somewere or just Google it, i will do latter when i have some time free. But do not give hope, there is always a solution, just take a brake and relax ... and See U latter or tonight in "helping adventure"
p.s TRY TO NOT Nand erase all.... Just re-map partition with downloaded one and instal stock firmware.... 4 begining.
Did remapping the partition with the pit file.
Did remapping with pit n nand erase all no go...
Have you actually tried recovery firmware through kies?
I believe you should give it a chance if you haven't already, I know that it's not supposed to downgrade but it's called "recovery software" ... ???
