[Q] Not able to load anything via Download Mode - ODIN on GT-I9192 Duos

I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Duos - GT-I9192 phone.
Last week I was updating the phone via a OTA update and the phone suddenly stopped updating mid-way, restarting the phone got the phone to start but stuck on the initial Samsung logo and not beyond. Eventually after several retries, phone would only vibrate and nothing displayed on the screen. I can not even get into recovery mode.
I am now able to get into Download mode only with the following information displayed
ODIN MODE
Product Name: GT- I9192
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
Write Protection: Enable
Over the past one week I have tried the following with no success
1) Downloaded the official firmware for my device/region from Sammobile and tried loading via ODIN (3.10 and 3.07), after waiting for an hour (On Initialization status) or so ODIN terminates with a Fail message and a error mentioning " No Partition Detected/ PIT File missing
2) I have tried with a PIT file (attached) but it does not proceed beyond Initialization status on ODIN either
3) Tried the same thing with CWM file and Auto Root files for the GT-I9192 but does not move beyond Initialisation and/ or Setup Connection step in Odin
I have now tried on Multiple computers, with different cables and USB ports, even tried connecting to Kies to see if a firmware can be loaded that way, but no luck.
Would appreciate any suggestions / help on what else I must try or do differently. Please help.

That pit is for serranolte your device is serranodsd now search for the apropiate pit file.
First try installing latest firmware without pit
If don't work try with apropiate pit

still doesnt work
Thanks fburgos I found a PIT file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53003227&postcount=4 (attached)
and another one shared by SilviuMik at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620621&page=2
But Odin still stuck at Initialization for both (attached screenshot)
I have tried the Odin option with Nand Erase checked as well but Odin doesnt proceed beyond Initialization.
Of course the stock rom doesnt install either via odin - I9192DDUCNL1_I9192ODDCNH1_I9192DDUCNL1_HOME.tar.md5
Same issue - stuck at Initialization.. fails after a long time.. with missing PIT file message.
Any other ideas?

Use both pit and firmware, in the same process

tried that as well, same issue with ODIN, stuck at Initializing

Do you have any progress? I have the same issue on my GT-I9192 . Odin has stuck in initializing.

No luck.. phone is still "bricked"
Let me know if you find a solution please.

[Q] Static screen upon boot, no PIT in Odin

Hi, so I recently rooted, flashed TWRP, and put SlimKat on my phone, and it worked great for a few days, but then all of a sudden it would freeze on the lockscreen. To fix this I would need to pull out the battery or do the hard reboot. Then, today, after doing that once again, when I tried to boot normally or into recovery, it showed static (I'll include an image). It does, however, boot into download mode.
So then, I thought I would try and put a new recovery on it through Odin to see if that would fix anything, but upon pushing start in Odin it says no PIT partition and fails.
I have a Nandroid backup made through TWRP (I'm not sure if the one on hand is from stock or right after flashing SlimKat).
In case you need this info, here is what it says when download mode is booted:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T889
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0
AP SWREV:
I'm hoping it isn't a hardware issue and that I can, if anything, put it back to stock.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Any update? I have read that when it loses model number it is one of the IC's. I still have model number when linked to odin.

Flashing in Odin may require the original Samsung USB cable in order to read the phone'a partition information.

(issue resolved) note 8.0 stuck on opening screen

I have a Note 8.0 that is stuck in a boot loop. It get to the initial screen. "Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5110" and then screen goes blank and it starts over again. Never goes past this screen. I have flashed a stock rom (\N5110UEU2COI3_N5110XAR2COI3_HOME.tar.md5) using odin. Odin gives me a pass when it is finished but the issue persists.
Any help with this is appreciated.

Re-flash the stock ROM but, before booting for the first time, boot into stock recovery and do a full wipe. This may help get out of the bootloop.

audit13, thanks for the suggestion. I tried 3 times with no success. I did see the android with his belly door opened and the blue box spinning. Didn't see that before. However when I boot into recovery the android's belly door has a red triangle in it. A full wipe/reset has no effect and the symptoms persist.
Any other thoughts? Thanks again

I recommend trying again with Odin 3.07.
In Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Connect the tablet in download mode, flash the tar.md5 file in PDA. When you see the word "Reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, press and hold the power button to power off the unit. After the unit is off, use the key combination to boot immediately into recovery and perform a factory wipe/reset. If that doesn't work, you may need to flash the ROM in combination with a pit file.

audit13, tried your instructions and still ended up with the same issue. I used odin3 v3.07. Can you point me to the pit file you referred to in your previous post.
I have this file - BL_N5110UEU2CNE2_1498778_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5
and this - CSC_XAR_N5110XAR2CNE2_1498778_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Are they of any use to me in this situation?
Thanks again for taking an interest in my problem, Keith

Did you download the stock ROM from sammobile? If you did, you should unzip the file once which gives you a tar.md5 file. It is this tar.md5 that is flashed in the PDA section of Odin 3.07.

SamMobile has many countries listed but not USA. Do I use Cellular South? The file I have been trying was not from SamMobile.

When you boot into download mode, does it give you the model #? Do you see anything about Knox or warranty bit in download mode?
The firmware named in the original post looks like it matches Cellular South.
I'm not sure if the 5110 was sold in the USA. If your model is wifi only, another country may work. If it's celluar, different countries use different frequencies which means cross flashing may work but connectivity (wifi and cellular) may not work.

Download mode shows this:
Odin mode (in red)
Product name: GT-N5110
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Knox Warranty Void: 0
RP SWREV: A2

It's strange that you were able to flash a stock ROM but the system status is "custom".
I suggest trying to flash an entire ROM from sammobile.com similar to the BL and CSC you flashed earlier. It may be simplet to install a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM so you can at least confirm the baseband and bootloader currently installed.

I'll give a custom recovery and rom a try tonight after work. TWRP and any stable build correct?
As for those two separate files, I didn't try anything with them. I downloaded them in case I needed to use them.
This is a board that I got off eBay for $5 and I don't know it's history. Could this issue be hardware related? The board looks good with no signs of corrosion (water damage) of hot spots (electrical surge).
It seems as though it can't find the os on boot.
Thanks again.

Did the board ever boot or was it stuck in a bootloop from the beginning? How did you know which bootloader to flash?

The board has never booted. The only files I have flashed are the one in my first post and the one from SamMobile (Cellular South) as per your instructions. These two files appear to be one in the same. Both files when flashed produced the same result, boot loop.
Do the files contain a boot loader? It sure feels like that is where the problem lies.

Success! Flashed TWRP and then installed SlimKat 4.4.4 and all is working. Need to get gapps installed but for now this board is good.
audit13, thanks again for you interest in my issue.

Strange bricked GT-I9195 (bootloop and no recovery mode)

Hi all!
I've got a bricked Samsung S4 mini.
It's stuck in a bootloop and I've got no recovery mode (No command with dead droid). Kies doesn't recognize it.
I've tried:
- flashing CWM and TWRP to get recovery mode up and running but no luck. Odin completes fine and it restarts (tried to enter on first reboot as described) but still "No command".
- flashing stock firmware from sammobile.com. I completes fine but when i restart its no difference (bootloop and no recovery)
- flashing stock firmware (all files with pit file) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751224. This gets error in Odin and "SW REV CHECK FAIL: FUSED 2 > BINARY 0" in on the phone. I suspect its the wrong firmware.
In download mode:
Code:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATYS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
I'm all out of ideas and would love some help. I've found some similar threads on this but no solution.
How do i find out exactly what model number I've got. The back says GT-I9195 and the Samsung Warrany site says "cant find product". I guess its because its a Scandinavian phone.
Any help much appreciated.

What was the last thing you did that caused the boot loop and made recovery inaccessible?

I got it from a friend and he said that it started to behave strange. So he decided to try flashing a custom rom.
It seems to have been a little bit to custom for this device Maybe he flashed the wrong version.

Flashing a "wrong version" can be fatal to an android device, this has happened to 2 of my phones to my younger, more inexperienced self (around 4 years ago), for one of the phones recovery and download mode became corrupted (inaccessible), and the other phone became a complete and utter "brick" (useless), it was unable to even be turned on!
My point is that if he had flashed a rom, or even worse; a stock firmware for his phone this can seriously kill it, I suggest asking him what rom and what model the rom was built for.
Update me once you find out.

He said that he doesn't know exactly. He tried a few but all should have been for the GT-I9195.

If all of them were for the GT-I9195, then please list them for me, or at least the last one that was flashed, as I can't help you if I'm told that everything was done correctly.

Sure

So you haven't been flashing roms, but rather stock firmwares, what odin were you using?

My friend said that he initially flashed a Cyanogenmod rom and it worked but he didin't like it and the troubles started when he tried to revert to stock.
Odin version: 3.09
Thanks.

That's unusual, flashing stock firmware is very unlikely to cause any problems but fix everything...Could you please give me the link to the stock firmware your friend was flashing? (If you have it)

Need help getting SM-N910P back to stock rom

Let me get you up to speed: From the latest update on the official marshmallow firmware (SM-N910P is my version), I rooted it using odin, then put the wrong version of TWRP on by accident (tbltespr = Note 4 Edge) but then put the right one on (trltespr) but as with everybody else that did this, I got stuck with that horrible screen offset. The *#2663# seemed to ve work until I reboot, so I put LineageOS (14.1 unofficial)(I had already been considering doing this before the incident) thinking it would fix it but all it did was make things worse. I am not stuck in a boot loop, even after all the crap I have tried, I can still flash LineageOS and yes, I can use my S Pen but there are a lot of things I use very often that it won't work with.
Now, on to what I have tried: EVERYTHING! The biggest problem to come out of putting LineageOS on there is that I can no longer downgrade (possibly not at all with any method) using ODIN. I have tried lots and lots of firmware, bootloaders, etc and everytime I get the same error (except for twrp, which I can flash):
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 5 > Binary 4
[1] eMMC write fail: ABOOT
So it seems using Odin is out of the question, I have tried downloading thing for custom 6.01 roms that either requires something to be flashed using Odin first, have a link that goes to a 404 page, or is not for my version. I have attempted multiple times to use Kies but it keeps rejecting my serial number. Under the battery, I only find the Hex and Dec, I have tried every number I can find on the box, in the battery, add a 1 or 0 there, shorten it here. I even got some serial number apps downloaded to confirm my serial number but still, nothing worked, so it seems Kies is out of the question as well.
Because I have come across nothing else, I can't confirm if TWRP will work or not so that is my best bet.
So here is what I have come to ask, I need a stock rom, whatever version (since I can just use the update later) that is TWRP flashable, let me repeat, TWRP flashable, no tar or md5 Odin files, TWRP! Thank you for anyone and everyone that help me. I apologize if I am breaking any forum rules, this is my first and most likely last post here.

Extra Tidbit of Info
Also, if this helps at all, this is what my Download Mode screen says when idle/(before I try to flash to it)
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N910P
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (4)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T3, R1, A5, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
UDC START

Here is an idea, if someone out there could kindly do it for me. Make a TWRP backup image of a factory reset stock rom and share it on google or something. then I should just be able to flash the image, right?

I have a problem on note4 sprint. after install custom rom linkage 15 unofficial naughat, i want to restore to stock rom using odin3 but why always fail. but that is the last stock rom I use.
