Hey,
I tried rooting my S4 Mini by first flashing clockworkmod and then installing the rootkit. But on boot after the Samsung tone it shuts off. I have tried wiping cache partition, data, cache, dalvick cache, etc. I also tried flashing the stock rom with no success. The phone is soft bricked-i can go on download and clockworkmod recovery. Wondering if the pit file would help but I dont know where to find it and I am a bit of a newbie. Any help would be greatly appreciated. What should I do?

I am trying to go back to stock rom. Not working. Tried the PIT file and everything else. Just wondering-I am in clockworkmod recovery. I just want to boot up my phone. Is there any possible way to do that? Or perhaps go back to Stock ROM
If you flash a stock ROM SUCCESSFULLY, your phone will boot.
Give us the log of your Odin.

Have you tried going through recovery and wiping everything (system, cache, dalvik) and reflashing Rom?

Hi
I was flashing back to Stock from task650 to fix my gps. Well something blew up and when the phone reboots the screen goes black but I hear the AT&T start-up tune. Essentially I can't get to enable USB debugging to reflash. I can get to download or recovery, but there are no files to recover<?> and busybox never got installed.
What do I do now?
Do you have the stock recovery now? If so, try going in there and resetting to defaults. That helps sometimes.
Otherwise, you may need to Odin back to stock if you still want to go stock.

Yes I have stock recovery. Odin is of no use because it hangs waiting for the USB debug to respond. And i can't turn it on because the screen is black and I can't navigate
Do you have a micro sd card? If so, throw a rom on there. If you want to go back to stock, there' a flashable stock zip at the bottom of post #2 in the link in my signature. Under the emergency toolkit section. Flash that, turn on use debugging, do your gps fix and continue on with the task release

Thanks. I created an emergency tool kit on an SD, I wiped data, wiped cache and Davlik and formated system. Flashed the stock rom. When I rebooted it now hung at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen.
How do I get out of this mess?
Try wiping data and cache again in recovery

I've wiped data and cache several times, and format/system. I've even tried to flash CWM 6.0.3.1 and I get a status 7 error. Nothing is taking.I get signature failures.
I re downloaded all the files figuring they were corrupted. Nothing doing. I need some real help, because this is beyond my abilities to figure out.,
Now I've got a red triangle showing up in recovery.

i dont know why some of these things are not working correctly for you. you're seeing the red triangle because you have stock recovery now from the stock firmware zip. you cannot flash anything in stock recovery nor can you format /system. what happens when you boot up after a factory reset and cache wipe?
a couple of your options include either using odin to flash the stock firmware back onto your device or to use odin to flash a custom recovery back and make a move from there.

When it rains it pours. Now I can't get into recovery. I get the empty battery graphic cycling on and off, and its very warm to the touch. I think the battery is not charging.
I tried using Odin and flashed a stock rom but I kept getting verification errors and status 7 errors. Things just are not taking. I fear I've got a hard brick and I don't know what to do to fix it.
I appreciate your help
aaaaand let the questions roll:
you got verification errors in odin? and after flashing the firmware, i'm assuming you then flashed cwm and that's where you were getting the status 7 errors?
at what point did it all go off? i need to know what order you did all of these things.
can you still get into download mode?

No, it won't go into download. I initially flashed stock rom, but I don't think I wiped anything. That was probably the big mistake. I used something called Samsung S3 QCom tool kit to do an initial flash. It never failed me before. And I also flashed a CWM.
I followed your advice and made a emergency SD kit and flashed from there. I did a clean flash several times. Things just never worked and I kept getting those error messages. Then it just got more difficult to get into download. Now it just flashes a drained battery
it might indeed be drained. leave it plugged in for a while and report back.
you were getting the error/status 7 messages after you flashed cwm back on it likely because the cwm wasnt up-to-date.
what was the last thing you tried before it stopped working altogether?
It gets really hot if I leave it plugged in. But it seems like I can get into recovery again. The last thing I flashed was CMW 6.0.3.1. But what is on it now is CMW 5.5.0.4
actually, what you're saying is the last thing you flashed was cwm 5.5.0.4, just via odin not cwm.
if the phone was in my hands, i would:
flash the cwm 6.0.3.1 zip, select advanced and reboot recovery. now you will be in the updated cwm recovery.
perform a full wipe: wipe data, cache, dalvik, format /system, format /data
flash rom and gapps. if you're going to stick with tasks, use the 4/23 release. i'm on that with no feature or stability issues.
wipe data, wipe cache, reboot.
give it a few minutes to boot up.

Well I think I managed it!. First I tried to install an update d/l'ed from Dropbox and that did nothing. Then I flashed an old .tar that was a rooted stock and it rebooted!
I tried editing the updater-script but I couldn't getit to save the changes properly.
Well I will now re flash the RM and CWM and hope for the best
Thanks for all your help, greatly appreciated
Hi,
Few months ago I rooted my Galaxy Wonder (Malaysia version) to CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.4 and flashed to a Custom ROM. Now I wanted to flash back my phone back to Stock Rom because the Custom ROM is very battery consuming.
Now, when I try to flash the Stock ROM in CWM recovery.. the error shows "E: Can't open /sdcard/I8150DXLM3_I8150OLBD1_XME.zip (bad)" then Installation aborted. I tried to download a few Stock ROM from different sources but still give me the same error when I wanted to flash it in CWM Recovery.
Can anyone here please tell me how to solve this problem? Do I need to unroot my phone (flash back to Stock Recovery) before I can flash back to Stock ROM? If yes, how to flash back to Stock Recovery?
Your help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hope to see you all to reply me

Now I follow the steps in the thread you given me by using Odin.. After the step <1> Close serial port and wait until rebooting..
My phone is keep on restarting and appear the SAMSUNG logo and never enter into android system! It seems like a another problem coming out? How to solve this problem now? :crying:
First start up takes up to 5 min.
But if you get bootloop, go to recovery and wipe data/factory reset
Sorry for my english
first, download your country stock rom
after download, extract this file
download odin and samsung usb driver
flashing frimware via ODIN, wait until succed, if stuck, go to recovery, wipe data and cache. finis

You need to do a clean installation/ pristine. since it will leave some custom ROM files in ur internal storage. i always do (in CWM) wipe data / factory reset, format system and format /sdcard0 (internal storage) before installing any custom/ stock ROM.

I've looked around a bit and can't quite find someone that has had my specific situation.
I have a AT&T S3 SGH-I747 that is rooted running stock 4.1.1 with CWM 6.0.4.7. I have updated the modem and bootloader (Baseband - I747UCUEMJB and Build # JRO03L.I747UCDLK3).
I have tried to flash custom and stock ROMS with CWM but get stuck on the glowing Samsung logo. I have tried to follow the instructions listed here but I cannot flash the stock ROM with ODEN.
I am not sure as to what to attempt next. I first want to be able to update to 4.3/4.4.2 and then try custom builds.
I have all my apps and data backed up with MyBackup and a Nandroid backup as well.
Thank you.
Are you wiping the cache, davilk, and data before of after flashing the ROM?
I wipe/format before the flash. I factory reset, clear cache, clear davilk, format data, and format system then flash the ROM. I've tried several combinations of clearing/formatting. The flash always goes well and then I reboot. The boot goes and then just sits at the Samsung logo (It does make the AT&T sound during this time)

Try to factory reset once the flash is done if it doesn't boot after 5-10min.
Thanks. I'll give it a shot and we'll see how it goes.
Unfortunately that tip did not appear to help. I still got stuck on the glowing Samsung logo.
I was final able to flash 4.3 using the method here using odin.
Hi, phones been running great until yesterday when it started telling me the disk space was nearly full(via es filee xplorer). It then turned off a few times and i turned it on again. The phone would shut off if I tried to do anything like launch the camera app. It now bootloops when i try to turn it on.
I have tried wiping dalvic cache, factory reset, recover from a recovery point i made when i installed the cm13 rom and reinstalling the custom rom like I did the first time using twrp.
The phone did once go into a boot animation of the old boot screen(02 animation), another time it started the miui boot logo but went back to the normal samsung galaxy note 2 boot loop where its stuck at now.
Any suggestions on how i could get it running again? Thanks!

It should use the same procedure as flash stock ROM. I'm not sure because the last time I did it was some years ago.
I have found another way, it's a bit hard, but safer

Gave it a read. Phones not entering recovery mode anymore so not sure I can proceed. Maybe try flashing stock ROM again.
