I have posted about this before, but had no luck in finding help yet. Since then, I have tried many things to revive my S4 Mini, but first some background on what happened: ( The phone was on stock 4.4.2)
The phone was charged overnight, and in the morning after I woke up, as always, I took it off charge and went on Facebook. The phone then freezed and I took the battery out, and tried to restart it. It then just vibrated and nothing happened.
I then tried to boot into recovery, it also just vibrated, but nothing happened.
I then tried to enter download mode, and it worked. I was then somewhat relieved, and then tried to flash a stock rom in Odin. But then Odin gets stuck at Initializing.
I gave up for a few months, and left the phone alone. I then started now recently to try and fix it again.
I have tried flashing the 4 files alone: AP, BL, CSC and CP as well as PIT, and Odin flashing keeps failing.
I have tried using a Debrick.img. The phone does not boot.
The phone cant be hard bricked due to the fact that Download Mode still works, and it still charges. So I dont know what to do anymore?
Is there any hope?
Maybe your emmc get broken

Hi guys. . When I go into about phone and check for cyanogenmod nightly updates, they show up 3 updates, and when I tap on them and click download, they download. when automatically boot to recovery mode to install, but its not installing and phone restarts to normal mode, saying that to do it manually. my phone firmware was 4.4.2 and I updated to cyanogenmod 11.0. I think I should install the updated recovery?
There are 3 auto update showing in my phone and I have to install all in one by one or only the latest one? for example the updates showing 20160425, 20160426 and 27 is the updates) does the latest nightly update include the bug fixes and stuff from the previous updates, or do I have to download all of them to get all of the fixes and such?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as these dilemmas make updating Cyanogenmod very cumbersome. Thanks!

I have been searching for hours now. and I pray to god you guys are still awake on here to help. Here's the deal
I decided to go with the Toolkit as it seemed like the easiest to use and most successful way to root the phone.
Went into it, used it to root using the Allinone method for rooting options. What I did forget to do, like a tard, is backup my current state.
Well what happened was a "Complete installation" of everything, when i rebooted my phone showed the samsung logo, then went black screen, and vibrated once, waited, vibrated 3 more times, then 3 more times, then waited. The blue LED is on showing its booting but it can never get past a black screen.
I went back into recovery and it was stock recovery, so I rebooted again, and it changed to CWM recovery, but still stuck in the black screen after the samsung logo.
The one thing I failed to realize is that the toolkit, for each device, they all say 4.0.4 for android version. Well unfortuntaely I was on 4.1.1 (the leaked build, so I was still unrooted)
This basically f***ed my phone, I've tried flashing the stock firmware and it fails on ODIN every time. The only thing that has passed so far is the stock kernal I flashed through ODIN, but nothing else.
Please help, I really need a phone, have had it for a month and 4 days now, and like I said, i really need a phone.
If anyone knows a way to just set everything back to stock firmware, I have access to CWM AND Download Mode.

I have searched these forums and everywhere else I can find mentioning this problem online, but nothing has worked yet. I'm hoping someone here may be able to point me in the right direction.
I rooted my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317 a couple weeks ago and was messing around and stupidly tried upgrading to 4.3, and now I can't boot and can't enter recovery mode. NOTE: Download mode works just fine, either by manually holding Volume Down/Home/Power or by using a USB Jig, I just can't enter recovery mode by holding Volume Up/Home/Power
I am able to flash just fine with Odin (I have tried version 3.07 and 3.09), it says Pass every time but the darn phone still won't boot and won't let me into recovery mode so that I may clear the cache and get it to boot.
I have tried flashing back to the factory firmware, to which Odin says Pass but still no go on the boot.
I have also tried setting up an ADB connection in Windows 7 (so that I may get the phone into recovery mode without hardware buttons), but since my computer will only recognize the phone when it's in download mode (since I can't boot the phone so Windows 7 will see it like it normally would) ADB won't work.
I'm at my wits end here, does anyone have any clue how I may fix this problem? What's really frustrating is I just bought a Galaxy Gear Watch and about a week later messed up my phone
Thanks, and I appreciate any help you can give me.
EDIT: Forgot to mention something. When I turn the power to the phone on and don't enter download mode, it stays on the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen, and that's all that happens.
Also, this is exactly what my Download screen info says:
FACTORY MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I317
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes(6 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1

Got the phone to finally boot up
I finally got my phone to at least boot up. Although, I still can't get into recovery mode.
I followed this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596256 and downloaded this file
It boots, and is currently 4.1.2, however when I try to get to recovery mode, the graphics flicker and the screen goes blank for a couple mins then reboots to the OS.

I had a similar issue moving from Jedi to Jedi Master X.
I had to use an older Odin 2.85 to install a CWM recovery(I prefer TWRP UI)
Once I had the CWM I could install Jedi Master X2 and I had to wait about 30 mins for it to get through boot.
I thought I had a good soft brick but eventually I found a combiination of Odin, recovery and Rom to get it to work.
Good Luck
Recovery screen is now up!
After I was able to boot, I tried flashing again to stock firmware, and this time the recovery menu works just fine! I'm almost back to where I need to be. After resetting to factory defaults, I'm hoping I can do an OTA update to 4.3 so my Galaxy Gear will work again.

Update to 4.3 official will fail if you have a custom recovery...
I suggest using the leaked 4.3 we have...
It will give you all of the gear functions....and allow you to keep root and dump the bloat that you don't want...
A best case situation ....IMHO....g

Glad you were able to figure it out... I just had a similar problem because TWRP froze up on me halfway through flashing a ROM. Had to ODIN CWMR back on and flash a ROM... lesson learned... always keep a ROM on your SD card in case your phone soft bricks - if you can get into download mode at least you will be able to work around it!!
I'll give that a try

Instead of the leaked you can use the official without locking yourself into the 4.3 bootloader

Ok guys, I was an idiot and got a little greedy and opened a thread saying update your s4 mini LTE to an OFFICIAL 4.4.2 kitkat. Without even checking the comments I just downloaded and followed the instructions. It was a 4.2.2 "upgrade" and it didn't work.. Used Odin 3.09. and it showed the error "FAIL! (Ext4)"
Now my phone is stuck in download mode with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." Well, that would all be nice if I could. Kies doesn't let me connect my phone to it, when I try Emergency recovery it doesn't show it in the list of devices, initialisation is not available for GT-19195 (??) (it's the option where i type in my phone model and serial number).
I can't put the phone itself into recovery mode, pressing volume up, home and power buttons, so that option is also out.
I have no idea what else to do right now, and I would appriciate any help you guys can provide.
What do I do to get my phone working again?!
Thanks in advance.

So you can get to download mode but odin fails?
What are you trying to flash?
You can also flash a full samsung firmware via odin (you can find it at sammobile.com)
If this doesn't work you can try to flash cwm recovery
I've had this issue myself before and found flashing a cwm recovery via Odin then adb sideload either a custom or stock rom generally fixes the issue.
Hope all work's out for you

I have managed to find a 4.2.2 stock ROM from ny region, it's for the Telenor network, I am not on it but my carrier is another, although that does not seem to be a problem. Flashed it through Odin, v3.09, and I'm happy to say I'm writing this from my phone!
To answer your question, yes, the only thing i was able to start download mode on my phone, just turning it on, it went straight to that. Also, I had to wipe cache from recovery to stop it from looping the samsung logo and also had to do a factory reset & delete everything once i got past samsung logo loop. It's working as inteded now, and well, I guess a new fresh start is not that bad.
Thanks for your ideas guys.

Shouldn't be a problem if you use the arco recovery wipe cache, warranty bit kernel means h that you're using different kernel from the original that came with the phone, probably you have tripped Knox 0x1 voiding warranty, you could flash an kk kernel and will be fine

I've never had this sort of problem and I am no expert but this is what I would try. The good news is it should be recoverable, lets hope one of the experts sees this. You really need to give more info!
If in a boot loop you may be able to get into download mode by just pressing the vol down & home key (not power as you are already powered up). If this doesn't work try all other key combos as you need to get out of the current reboot mode into something else.
If that doesn't work or you are not in a bootloop then use ADB to see if device shows up, if it does, then "reboot bootloader"
If that doesn't work make or buy a jig, that will allow you to set download mode.
Hi all, hope somebody can rescue me!
I have an N7100. It's been running stock ROM 4.1.2 for ages (rooted). I've rooted and loaded ROMs on a fair few devices over the years, but typically by following step-by-step guides - I'm a noob to all intents and purposes.
Last night I decided to upgrade to 4.4.2.
I did it without performing a wipe first.
Backed up apps and settings using Titanium Backup Pro
Downloaded N7100XXUFNE1 from Sammobile (sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32635)
Loaded it via Odin 3.9
It worked, in a fashion, maintaining most of my data and apps etc, but I couldn't get wifi to turn on and I kept getting error messages saying '[App X] could not be loaded'
I decided to bite the bullet and do a factory reset (by booting into recovery).
I still couldn't get wifi to work, but my bootloader had stayed at ME3, so I decided to apply the latest bootloader (ND3) as I read somewhere that this could be the issue (I wasn't overly concerned about Knox as the phone is almost 2 years old now anyway).
I applied it via ODIN again, except loading the file into the 'BL' section rather than the 'AP'.
Since doing that, it's stuck at the boot screen 'Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100' and the only way to get out of it is to pull the battery.
I can got into 'Download Mode' but not into 'Recovery Mode'.
I have tried applying MJ5 bootloader.
I have tried reinstalling the whole stock again ROM again
I have tried applying Philz_Touch_6.07.9-n7100 recovery
All show as having completed successfully in Odin, but none of them changed anything - I'm still stuck at the boot screen
Does anybody have any ideas of what else I might try?
Thanks

Have you tried flashing TWRP instead? This happened to me and got stuck on recovery boot, CWM and Philz Touch wonb't load. Flashed TWRP and worked like a charm.
I am having similar problem.
Tried to flash the TWRP Recovery from THIS via Odin.
Still phone isn't going past the Galaxy Note II logo.

It processes OK and Odin says 'Pass!', but then it automatically restarts and gets stuck at the boot screen again. Still can't boot into recovery mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just tried that, but unfortunately it just does the same thing ....
Man do this.....
Get older odin (personally my preferance nothing else)
Flash the latest stock rom that u have
It will say pass and the device will go into bootloop
Now remove battery any stick it in (just to stop bootloops)
Enter recovery (that shld be stock now)
And do a factory reset
If no recovery......get a custom one and do it
Then let the phone do its thing:good::good:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried doing just that (although not on an older version of Odin) and it hasn't helped, I can't get into recovery.
I will give flashing the Bootloader a go via the AP rather than BL when I get back from work tonight though. Cheers.

Just tried, but to no avail again. Thanks anyway. Anybody else got any suggestions as to what I might try? I'm starting to lose hope a bit here
Try to boot in recovery and do a factory reset

Hi, I do appreciate you're only trying to help but, as explained numerous times in the thread, that's my whole problem.
In summary:
The phone gets stuck on the boot screen
I can't boot into recovery
I can only get into the odin download screen
Flashing a full stock rom doesn't change anything
Flashing Philz, TWRP or CW Recovery doesn't change anything
Reflashing the bootloader doesn't change anything

Just to close this thread off, I've now paid to get the phone sorted at a local shop. Took them a while (think their first level support just tried all the things I'd already done), but their occasional staff member and all round guru managed to get it sorted. I don't know what he did as I didn't get the chance to speak to him. Cost me £30.
I followed directions found online to unroot and restore the SIII to factory. Everything went fine I followed all the directions: downloaded the Stock ROM onto the phone along with Mobile Odin, Mobile Odin Flash Kernel and Triangle Away. Ran Triangle Away successfully then loaded the Stock Rom with Mobile Odin and even Flashed the Kernel without a hitch! Phone rebooted and I was presented with messages about the phone having to reboot to install updates, etc... I let it - the phone reboots and now ceases to turn on. Nothing works! I've tried pulling the battery, holding down the power button with and without the a battery, tried turning the device on while plugged in to wall - nothing!
I'm thinking maybe the main board got fried? If that's the case is all lost with this phone? I really do like this phone and would hate to lose it to such a dumb mistake especially when I was just trying to restore it to it's original state.
Any way to save this phone? Anyone else have had a similar problem and solution?
Thanks!
Never stock flash a Full Official ROM with mobile Odin, youre bootloader got corrupted and you'll need a 16gb class 10 sdcard to repair it, search this forum for the debrick image.
Official Stock can only be done PC Odin and Kies.
