Hi dear friends and android lovers.
I have a S4 mini LTE model GT-i9195L, it is the latin american model. It was on 4.4.2 Kitkat android version. Phone was working fine, everything was ok, it was only rooted and it´s like a year and a half old. Suddenly it doesn´t not start anymore, I was using it when I put the phone on a table and never become to life again. Phone seemed to back to life because it had a bootloop, it stuck on the start screen where you see the phone model, and also it can enter to download mode, but in recovery mode it can´t do anything. I tried to flash TWRP and CWM through odin, but doesn´t work, and the last thing that I tried was to flash a stock ROM but it also revive the phone, and now it´s on a hard brick. I know it´s a hard brick, because I repaired a S3 with the same problem, I know how to do the process, but I can´t find a Debrick image for my cellphone. I don´t know even if I can use a debrick image from a gt-i9195 ´cause the "L" means it´s a little bit different phone, but if anyone can solve my doubt about this i will really appreciate.
Any help will be really helpfull.
Thanks in advice.

Hello XDA!
A few months ago I won an LG Optimus Me P350 and I recently discovered that no recovery mode.
I tried to follow a tutorial offered by this community and unfortunately I failed in fastboot.
I tried something with cmd and I remain "locked" .. I say that is waiting phone.
And with KDZ not know how well I did, but with 3GQCT Emergency Mode and Select Emergency calls me at a time that does not detect the phone, which is strange .. since it detects the computer ...
Probably a very old version and no firewall or KDZ file rather not be too good.
Let's try a little with KDZ, and if you fail I hope to find here a solution posted for you!
I know I can somehow manage to get rid of this problem.
I wanted to install android 7.xx (not sure what version I had) with recovery mode .. but unfortunately went into fastboot.
Thanks in advance!
Which guide did you follow? I compiled the one on XDA Wiki for Optimus Me so I know the ins and outs of flashing this phone. Can you be more specific on what problem did you face?
As title says i lost my os on my samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 ( Bell Mobility SM-T805W).

Hello fellow community!
On first place i want to excuse myself for my bad English!!
I have soft bricked T-Mobile (USA) Samsung Galaxy S4 and everything i found in the web DIDN'T help me to recover my phone...
Here is my history for what i did to bring this condition of my phone.
I was on Original T-Mobile 4.4.2 Stock ROM working normal without any issues. But 2 or 3 months ago i was curious about installing on my phone CUSTOM " CYANOGENmod" rom 5.x.x NIGHTY edition. At all installing on that custom ROM was without problems and phone for this 2~3 months works flawlessly "normal"... all this time i updates every day this custom theme and I'm understand this is NIGHTY but at the end i was kind tired from this NOT exactly real and fully functioned replica of custom ROM and get decision to restore my ORIGINAL status of the phone and put latest (4.4.4) Stock ROM. 1st i download 4.4.4 ROM "M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5" for my T-Mobile phone. I put in in DOWNLOAD mode. Connect phone to my computer.. and Start ODIN3 v3.10.6 ( didn't install Samsung drivers because i already have installed them !! ). In AP i put latest ROM... checked was ONLY options Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time ... NO Re-Partition was checked or pit file wasn't given !! Jus i hit the SATRT and receive that !...
everything was fine till the end !!! Flashing stops on try to flash hidden.img.ext4 with error and FAIL all process !!!
I CANT understand where is my problem and what i can do to flash my phone normally?
Please community help me to solve this problem..
1 year ago i have almost the same problem but with the same error "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and remember here on XDA DEVELOPERS i read the guide how to recovery phone after that but TBH i cant find this guide now with all my searching attempts..
Please for HELP!
and Thank you in Advance for your support!!..
Cheers!
Not 100% sure but you needed to do a factory reset before flashing stock firmware.
You can't flash kitkat over lollipop before doing factory reset because they are two different firmwares.
Try doing a factory reset and flashing again, if it fails pull battery, replace battery and go straight into download mode, connect to pc and flash again with odin.
Sometimes the double flash can be successful.
Good luck.

Hi,
So today suddenly my phone restarted and after that it was stuck on the micromax logo, I coudnt get into recovery either. So I tried to flash the stock kitkat rom using sp tools, it did manage to flash it the first time but the phone after that wont start at all, nothing not even the charging screen.
Is it bricked for good? I tried to flash it again but if I choose firmware upgrade or download+firmware upgrade in sp tools I get the pmt info error. Is there any way to get the phone back to a working state? Any help would be much apprecited.
Note: I did look through the old post on the similar topic where the guy managed to solve the problem by using a latest version of sp tools, Im already using the latest version , no dice.
Did you get anywhere with this to unbrick the device as I have similar with a GDP XP and it wont now boot or show charge its just dead!
Any help on fixing this would be great as we cant be alone with this. ATB
Hello There! this is my first post so I hope this is the right thread to post this: My cellphone is a Galaxy S4 Mini (serrano3gxx). Recently I had to change the display because i broke the original one. After this, I was unable to boot twrp (I had no problem with clockwork tho), I even had to go back to stock firmware because my phone wouldn't boot with lineageOS.
It seems like having an alternate display makes the phone unable to boot any kind of custom OS/TWRP; It just reboots after trying to boot.
I really need help because stock firmware sucks big time and I love to test new OS.
So if anyone have any clue about this or some troubleshooting, I will be more than grateful.
Thanks in advance!
