[Q] Huge problem! - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Soo my friend has a S4 Mini and was succesfully running CM11, then his phone dropped right on the spot where the (call)sensor is hidden, so after a call he needed to wait for a while to revert back to where he has stopped. So he said to me: ''Can you flash the stock Samsung firmware for me so that I ca go back to the store where I buyed it and I can get it fixed (warranty), I said ofcourse yes, (i'm well experienced with this). I flashed latest KK firmware for the GT-i9195 (LTE), everything went perfect, phone booted up, install wizard popped up, then we needed to activate WiFi for intializing Gmail account. Soooo I wanted to set Wifi on by swyping (you know) that thing to the right (left is off, right is on) but it immediatly went back to the left side (off). So now everything works perfect expect the Wifi, he can't activate his Wifi and that is pretty ****ed.
Anyone can help me, if it was my phone I would be more okay with it because then I had enough time to fix it and try things out, but it is my friends phone so it is difficult.
Please help me, I will buy u a drink.

Flash again and do a full format.
Powered by CM12

1. Install CWM and so full wipes
2. Then install Samsung Stock Firmware
3. Run it and set everything.
4. If Wi-Fi doesn't turn on go to the STOCK SAMSUNG RECOVERY and again full wipes.
5. It should work...
If it doesn't work just install CWM and download the SAMSUNG STOCK KITKAT KERNEL and flash it throw CWM.
You tell me

Help! Phone not bricked, but won't boot.

Ok wasn't sure if I should post this in Q&A or Dev... but since it's a question:
"Can anyone help with this?" ..
Here's the situation.
Sprint Galaxy S3.. using Blazer ROM 1.6
Team Epic Recovery (non-touch), don't recall exact version
Everything has been fine the last week or so.
I changed 2 things earlier today:
1) Using NFC Task Manager, I enabled "NFC during AirPlane mode" after which it asked me to reboot. I did not at that moment...
2) I modified build.prop to change the default alarm ringtone.
I also did not reboot as I was about to make some other changes...
Since I'm at work, I got sidetracked, but noticed something since the phone was on my desk face up. It suddenly rebooted on it's own.
No big deal, I had thought... except it never came back on.
And now.. It won't boot up at all. I cannot go into recovery either!!
I CAN go into download mode... so I did so and tried to reflash recovery.
Still unable to boot up or go into recovery..(Phone flashes the samsung logo , then disappears forever).
I'm attempting to download the stock ROM via the toolkit and see if that will fix things, but without recovery I'm pretty sure nothing is going to work.
Has anyone seen something like this before? Where it will go into download mode but NOT recovery?
Try flashing the stock tar in odin if nothing else works.

Just flash the stock tar ur downloading in Odin. Ur fine even if you managed to Bork recovery as long as u can still get into dl mode ur ok
I've haven't seen this problem on the Sprint variant yet but it definitly sounds like it's fixable
Like others have pointed out, since you can get into Download mode fine flash the Stock Odin tar file found here
When you boot up I would consider doing a data wipe (Factory Reset option in Settings>Back up and reset) but that's up to you
Yep.. that stock ROM fixed it... now to 're-root' and reapply my ROM... fun fun fun.
I'm thinking that the build.prop change must have caused it.. will be testing that over the weekend to be sure

So far all is working and I didn't even have to wipe the data (actually couldn't at first because I couldn't get into recovery hehe) , and I'm guessing the build prop must have been because I did it on the device, and 'maybe' I hit a stray key or something.. usually I edit at home and push it to the phone but I was in sort of a hurry.
WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!
As I watched it attempt to boot up each time, I kept coming up with different excuses to try to tell the Sprint store

Help! phone won't turn on (t959d koodo)

Hi,
I just got the phone and flashed a custom recovery. I flashed a new rom (liquidsmooth) and it looked like it was successful. I selected reboot and the screen shut off. Now, It won't turn on. It's possible that the battery died but shouldn't it turn on again once I plug in the usb cable? Is it possible to brick the device from cwm?
thanks
Dear lord I hope that's a typo because this is the t989(d) forums. If it is a typo and you're using a t989 then you probably need to wipe cache/dalvik.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989
As Mr. Mintharis said... I'm hoping as well that you had a typo and you didnt flash a T989 (GALAXY S2 TMobile) rom on a (GALAXY S) device. If so your probably hard bricked. If that was a typo and you did flash a rom and it wont turn on then there may be a few problems that are solvable. I got a few questions.
1. DId you do a factory reset before installing? Did you wipe system?
2. Can you get into CWM?
3. Can you get into Download Mode?
If you cant get into download mode, recovery, or get the phone to boot then you are in serious trouble because the phone is a a fancy paper weight. If you can however, you could try doing a full reset on all the settings and deleting cache/dalvik and then reflashing and trying again. However you may be in luck since you said you just got the phone. I'm assuming you got it from your carrier (I'm guessing its T-Mobile, idk any other carriers for this device) and they will replace a broken device (that does not have extensive physical damage or water damage) within 20 days of purchase date. Since your phone is hard bricked they will do it completely for free with no charge (usually... if they do.. it will be about 5$) and then you're good. They will overnight a phone to you and you just send your old one back when you get it (MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO PROPERLY SEND IT BACK!).
Sorry for the long post but wanted to be through and give you alot of answers in 1 time so we dont drag this post out.
That's my mistake, it was supposed to read t989d.
1) I did do a factory resets
2) & 3) I can't turn on the phone or get into download mode
I bought it from koodo (carrier in Canada) yesterday. I'm going to try to exchange it today; hopefully they'll do it. For future references, is there a specific way I should be flashing? I used to have a t959, the t-mobile vibrant, and never had any issues with cwm because it never touched download mode. Anyways, thanks for the replies.
Edit: I did flash using odin which hung a couple of times. Regardless, i eventually got it back to original condition by flashing the custom recovery (by odin with green pass) and doing a nandroid backup. The bad odin flashes should have been negated when I did nandroid backup, no?
You said you had the problems after you flashed liquidsmooth? Exactly which file did you download and flash from the site?

Ok, just figured it out. I flashed wrong version of liquid smooth. The link in their thread goes to their facebook page and I clicked on the first link like an idiot. I got it exchanged a few minutes ago so all's well that ends well. Thanks all for the replies.
Lesson of the day: Don't be stupid.

Im not sure if that is normal or not but whatev it works great now
doing the same thing right now. i'm in germany so i'm not sure if that's what's causing the slow download speed 500Mbps link @ a convention center, but i'm at 416MB out of 617MB and very very very patiently waiting.

Welcome to XDA!
I'm downloading it on my computer at home right now but I was in a rush to get to work. Looks like I'll have to wait until my lunch break to flash this, haha.
Also I see you're from Wasilla! Enjoying the weather? (I'm originally from Fairbanks)

First post here as well. I was rooted on stock, and this flashed flawlessly. Not 1 problem. Thanks!
ran the update, installed cwm and the phone works flawlessly minus one issue. gaming has become laggy. anyone else with studder or lag issues?
Aww man. It figures, I just finished flashing another rom like, about 18 hours ago. Now with finals coming up, I don't have time to do this one! Oh well, I guess I have something to do AFTER finals then, hahaha.

Is your power saving mode on? I've always found it makes so many things laggy, unfortunately. Might be enabled by default on the rom. Worth a look.
Great community here. Yesterday I was non-rooted ICS. Today I'm rooted JB with Wallet.
My phone just got 1000% better.
First of all, I appreciate all the Devs hard work bringing these Roms to us! :good:
I was running rooted UCALH9. Updated to this JB via Odin and all SEEMED good. Problems I had:
1) Play Store FC's - FIX - I went into Application Manager and removed updates for the Play Store app, which reverted it back to the default Play Store app. This fixed my problem. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT UNINSTALL!
2) Rom Manager - I would get root user authentication error when trying to Fix Permissions. Everything else in Rom Manager worked. No fix at this time.
3) Gallery - None of my pictures were showing up. This is even after clearing caches. I am convinced it's because I can't Fix Permissions, but what do I know... No fix at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!
Damn I had that same Play Store FC problem yesterday -- I wish I'd have figured that out. I ended up doing factory reset lol.
I receive same fix permission error as you, but I rebooted into recovery to do it.

You didn't happen to play with the camera at all, did you?
I can live with the Fix Permissions via CMW, so that would clear up 2 out of 3 of my problems. All I need is a fix for the Gallery problem, and I can go back to Official JB.
Thanks!
Howl long was the flash?
I'm inside Odin on flashing system.img.ext4 right now and it stays there which looks like about 20% for last 10 minutes with no forward movement.
How long do I need to wait before I consider something is wrong with flash process?
Changing cable to Samsung one did the trick if you are in the same situation.

If you are talking about flashing the root injected JB i post, yes you can flash it after upgrading and no it won't wipe anything in data, everything should be preserved for you.
Weather here sux.... Hovering slightly above 0 degrees with 80 mph winds for the last week so add on the wind chill factor and u can only imagine... And no snow yet.
So far no other issues with this rom. Seems to run perfectly. Now just waiting for someone to write a power menu options and enable stock tethering script =P

You might try wiping data for gallery app and I think it's media storage app...see if that helps with gallery.

[Q] Help with my broken phone please!

I bought a Galaxy S Glide (I think the same as the Blaze) from an outlet in Hong Kong on import from Canada (on boot it says "Rogers" so I can assume it's from Canada).
After using it for a week it suddenly stopped using the network and said that I need a lock code.
I went back to the shop where I bought it and they said they couldn't do anything immediately and would I like a replacement, which seemed like a nice thing to do.
However, after a couple of days I notice a glitch on the screen happen a couple of times.
I refused to believe it was a big problem (because it was my new phone right!) within a week the screen started to totally crash to the point that it would freeze in the boot up process.
You can see a picture attached of how the screen looks after I managed to do a hard reset.
When it starts to go like this, you cant do anything with it.
The guy at the shop wont change it or refund it, he claims I dropped it.
Samsung Hong Kong don't support it because it's from Canada and the only shop that knows what to do with it is the guy that sold it to me.
I'm taking the guy to the small claims court, but I'd rather have a fixed phone.
Any ideas please?
Thats happen to me, is a problem with the roger version. Everything in internet say the problem is hardware, but now mines works perfect. So, is like a bug in the rogers, maybe hardware problem, but if can be fixed with software i dont think so.
If you flash ICS with superoneclick (will remove rogers bootscreen) the problem will be fixed, of course you can flash it with a tar image with odine and will have the rogers bootscreen too. With that the phone will work again.

I strongly doubt this, that looks and sounds like a hardware fault. But hey, if there's no warranty option, you've got nothing to lose...
-E- FWIW, I would boot it into download mode, and let it sit on that screen for an hour. Then plug it into your computer and make sure Odin sees it. If it hangs while in download mode DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING. You REALLY don't want your phone to hang mid-bootloader-flashing, that's an automatic fullbrick...

If the device is no more under warranty, I would say trying this would not harm the device anymore. Also this is a samsung released update so nothing unofficial about it.

if you search in internet about freeze problem in glide you will see. Can be roll back with odin. But, if you have no warranty on your device, you dont have nothing to lose, and much to win if the problem solve
My brother had this same problem on his glide (bought at newegg). I got him to install galaxym unlock (galaxsim? Something like that), and you purchase an inapp unlock for $3, and it runs, reboots your phone and you regain unlock. They claim its permanent. So far my brother didnt get locked again.
Is cheap, fast and you can also see in the reviews that there are more glides that used it and worked.
Hope this helps!

thats for unlock, is possible that your phone will lock again when update to ICS. my phone was too from newegg and is rogers, thats why i say is a problem with rogers version.
Do what i tell you, you have nothing to lose

Thanks for thinking about my problem, but this solution misses one very big point, the phone that was locked was changed for the phone that has a screen that doesn't work.
I do not have the locked phone any more.
probably will lock again after you flash ICS via odin, thats happen to me. Is not a screen problem, again, if you want to try to solve, do what i say before.
I have the exact same problem, was just about to post in the other thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953672
Bought my phone from Amazon US marketplace about a month ago (but live in the UK), and suddenly the phone did that on start up one day. However, I agree with lorddavid, it is not a hardware fault as it does not freeze in download mode. Samsung service centres won't repair as it does not have a UK warranty, and although I can get a refund by returning I would rather have a working phone.

Was very happy to read this, seems like I'll have to try it. Have been putting it off as it will wipe my phone which I did not want to do just yet - I have a lot of photos and clips which I can't exactly back up as it does not boot normally. Really annoying. Any way to access these/back up before flashing?
And another question, that ICS update is the first leaked one which carried a few bugs (as did the official UCLH2 one) - can I install the fixed UCLJ3 straight away? And do I need a rooted phone in the first place? In Rawr0w0's initial post it seems to suggest I do. Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance.
dont remember, i think is the UCLH2, and i think that there was a odin flashable of the latest version (with bug fixes), you can try that (but dont know where download it :/ )
Do you have the photos in your internal storage? i think if you flash with one click, it will delete it, but if you flash the firmware via odin, it doesnt delete it (but i am not 100% sure)
And no, you dont need root to install roms via odin
This is UCLH2 without one click
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09...-firmware-upgrade-official-kiesota-stock-rom/
And here is the latest version with bug fixes (like keyboard light)
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11/10/i927uclj3-new-ics-4-0-4-for-samsung-sgh-i927-captivate-glide/
These are the officials. But the second link i never try it to flash because when i has the problem there wasnt that version
Thanks, yeah that's where I was getting the files from, I'll try it tonight, will probably go for the second link, the UCLJ3 rom.

YES WAHOO!! My phone works! Thank you for the advice! I mainly got it from the other thread but without having read your attempt at flashing I would never have tried it - I'm so happy! I managed to make a back up and copy my media via CWM anyway, but everything was still on there including all my texts and whatsapp messages, and now I have ICM 4.04 too!
Phew I thought I would have to send it back, get a refund and order another one which is a massive pain and lose everything on my phone.
Hkcharlie, you need to try this!

I press the toggles and they then switch off automatically. The tab is not rooted, Data works just fine. Happened to anybody else? Please let me know.
Waiting for return request to go through the e-commerce site I bought it from, but really like everything about it so don't want to return if I can fix it! Switched from an iPad Mini (1st gen), only option will be to go back to the super-costly iPad Mini 4 when it releases tomorrow and so don't want to do that. Please help!

Did you buy it new?
Download and flash the stock firmware for your device from SamMobile.
Actually flashed 4.4.2 and re-upgraded via Kies, doesn't work . Yes bought new, that is why I can return.

Have you factory reset?
Yes, wiped cache and data from the recovery menu also to no avail. Funny thing is when I started the tab, both WiFi & Bluetooth were working, though erratic. The tab got restarted and then they stopped working. Have tried every non-root solution published in other device forums also, just doesn't work .
Did you back up your Efs partition.?maybe it is corrupt.
Now that is something new I haven't heard before ? Can you kindly point me in the right direction to do that ! You are ossum to help me out!!
Just rooted my phone and mounted EFS, I can navigate and look inside the folder. How do I know if it is corrupted or not ?

You won't unless you have a backup. Is your imei intact?
Tbh it's not worth messing with this if you can return it.
OK, will not mess up then. IMEI is fine .
