HUGE Problem with s4 mini GT-9195 - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently rooted my I9195 successfully. i then flashed a custom kernel i found here on the forum (kernel v1 or sth like that) then my phone wouldn go past the boot white logo screen. i then tried flashing other kernels but they were apparently wrong as some features of my phone didnt work. i finally found the right firmware for my phone and tried to flash it with odin but it failed and now my phone only shows this message where it says that the firmware update failed and i have to use kies in recovery mode.
so i use kies and try the install firmware thing that asks you to put in your model and serial number. i do that and it says the device doesnt support initialisation. tried on another computer and it said that serial number was invalid.. i was very careful when typing it etc.
help.. what do i do?
btw last firmware i had was 4.4.2

I think you should put original back and start over and read forum more howto.
You use ODIN to flash custom rom, why? ODIN is for original rom. With custom rom need use TWRP or other recovery boot.

I used ODIN for past phones to flash custom kernels and it worked fine. i said i flashed someone that isnt supposed to be supported. i have no idea. i am not an expert and i thought someone can provide with a fast fix since there will surely be someone to have experienced this issue.
anyone else?

bump! please help.. i dont have another phone and I need to get this fixed asap!

You don't need root phone before new kernel or custom rom. And i believe you use wrong files for that and now phone wont boot.
Start over with original ROM. With that you can test is your phone ok. Then use ODIN for recovery kernel and custom rom. Also check this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420

How about download-mode? Never seen ODIN-mode myself, so cannot understand what is going on there....
With download- mode i do all things with ODIN if need...

that works, and it says downloading like normally when you try to flash something with odin, but it fails and gives me this error again: sw rev check fail: fused 2 > binarz 1
the rom im trying to flash is the DBT one in germany.
I am choosing AP btw, and not the other flash options.

i flashed one of those roms and i got my phone to boot. i have no wifi. i guess it was the last rom i flashed which was the wrong one.
i now tried the one which is supposed to be the correct rom but i land on the same error again. can someone help me find the correct stock rom?
here are the current device info. it seems that there is no official 4.4.2 rom for my phone. so i ****ed up lol.

Your phone has official 4.4.2 Rom and you are currently using it. If you have Wi-Fi issues, your can try to flash custom kernel (Silviu, alexax)

By the way,do you know how to check my IMEI ? Maybe is something wrong with my IMEI beacouse before , i had TWRP with Android Revolution HD and i got Emergency Calls Only but i coudnt fix it,no matter what. My IMEI seems good,i mean i have normal numbers but since i remember it is ending in four zeros.

Your imei is written down of battery, but for checking it your phone must boot.
You tried to flash original firmware via odin?

Ok so the only option to get it back working was to install TWRP back and flash Android Revolution HD so i can check the imei in the system,and it shows like this:
004999010640000/01
On the back of the phone and on the original box is another IMEI as follows:
355xxxxxxx4671/1
So clearly my IMEI has been changed/damaged somewhere on the way. Don`t know when,and i don`t have an EFS Backup.
Thing is like follows: If i install TWRP (twrp-2.5.0.1-n7100) and then flash Android Revolution HD the phone works fine,the only problem that i have is the stupid Emergency Calls Only that i can`t fix beacouse everything that i patch or every fix that i try doing it,the phone restarts itself and goes into Samsung Bootloop.
If i flash CWM Philz (philz_touch_6.46.3-n7100) and try to flash Phoenix Rom it doesnt even get pass the blue Samsung Circle,same stupid bootloop.
So my problem is in fact the IMEI ? What do you think ? This is why all of my ROMS bootloops ? And this is why i always get Emergency Calls Only ?
Please help me out Vagsvag beacouse i am loosing my hope here.... This is my only phone and i`ve been trying to fix it since 2 weeks now...

When you say you tried to flash everything you include and original firmware unrooted etc via odin also and you have the same result?
If it is doing the same with original fw sorry but I don't know what you can do in this situation my friend, efs is a big sh1t if is corrupted and you haven't a backup. I had heard that Samsung service center can rewrite it but I don't have experience .
Please edit your message and delete the number of your imei, it is unique and personal.

I don't know if you try to flash the modem only over revolution HD via chainfire's mobile odin what will be happened.
For doing this install mobile odin lite http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 download from end of the page the add-on for n7100 (it's kernel for n7100) also download latest firmware from Sammy or better fne1 (the same version with revolution HD rom), unzip it, copy to your phone and mount the firmware at mobile odin at the place which is saying modem and flash it. Other way to do this is to extract with 7zip the Samsung fw (unzip first and after extract the unzipped .tar.md5 file with 7zip) and take the modem.bin file, copy to phone mount it at mobile odin and flash it. If is difficult to do this post to search at my pc and upload the modem. I have it somewhere.

Thanks very much for your help Vagsvag,i will try and do exactly what you told me to,step by step right now,and if it works out man.... you are going to have a big donation from me. Hopefully i am going to bring my phone back to life.
Forgot to mention,here is a list of ROMs i flashed with ODIN but with no succes.
Odin ver.3.09 (Run in administrator mode)
Stock ROMs as follows:
- GT-N7100_BTU_1_20121003084149_ (This is a 4.1.1 but still bad imei) after i flashed it with ODIN
- ROM-N7100XXUFNL1-20150116192411 (This one was 4.2 i guess) Still bad imei
- XEF-N7100XXUFND3-20140425111035 (This one`s the latest 4.2.2) And still bad IMEI
And all of them (i think) are stock ROM`s (Or at least that i what i tried downloading) From different locations. NONE of them worked thow...
Then i tried Phoenix ROM,no luck there,then i tried Android Revolution HD and still no luck. BUT it seems that everytime i install Android Rev.HD and i press reboot system , TWRP keeps telling me `FIX ROOT etc....` Everytime i install the ROM...hm.... Guess it`s just stupid permissions but it doesnt matter for me. As i had no problems,everytime i installed it,it had supersu in it,and busybox,and rootacces. So it`s ok.
Now i will try what you told me to do,and we will see how that goes. I will reply soon. Thanks again man,you have one beer from me. Your patience is gold for me.

This is the modem of fne1. I don't remember if revolution HD working correct with mobile odin. Some roms don't restart to make the flash. When you mount the modem and you click flash now mobile odin will do restart to flash it, if you see to don't restart is necessary to manual restart to recovery push the power button and select reboot to recovery, this is important, don't do normal restart if it fails to restart do only to recovery to avoid corruption of your installed recovery, after this your phone will restart at mobile odin recovery and will flash the modem. Also check wipe dalvik cache at mobile odin, not really necessary but check it.

Check md5 before flash, md5 is

Also this is a good server to download original sammy fw

Now about donations etc thanks but are not necessary and also are not acceptable , the good feeling is enough

Welcome to the forum! Your phone's hardly bricked if you can get to download and recovery modes. Flashing the correct (stock) firmware should get you back to working conditions. What Android version were you on prior to it being stuck and what were you trying to upgrade to?

i747M is for the Canadian and Mexican variants. If you were on stock 4.1.2, you should be able to Odin back to stock 4.1.1 or upgrade to 4.3 via custom recovery. You can go to the thread below to check the correct stock image for your phone based on carrier. Make sure you use the correct image as flashing the wrong version could hard brick your phone. Download to your PC and then flash. If you select the 4.3 version, you would need to flash custom recovery to your phone via Odin, save the file to a (micro) SD card and then flash via custom recovery.

If we are going to flash a stock ROM, we would need to flash the correct version as there is risk of a worse brick if we flash the wrong one. When the phone was working normally, the old network would probably be showing during booting. If you got it from abroad, please check if you can get the information from the previous owner. If there is no way of telling the correct firmware, then you can flash custom recovery to the phone and try flashing a custom ROM via recovery. It's always tidier flashing a custom ROM to a device functioning normally but, unless we can be sure of the correct stock firmware to flash, your options may be limited.

I've seen this particular problem reported several times and it's always been a problem with the pit file. Flashing a complete stock system should fix all partition problems though. If the stock file you are using is an Odin flashable file, you may try using Odin 3.09. Otherwise, I'd suggest you find a recovery flashable image and flash via (custom) recovery.

1. Reboot to recovery - Power button+Home button+volume up then factory reset if this don't work:
2. Download a 4.4.2 rom from Sammobile and flash through Odin and then repeat the procedures to install Dr Keaton Rom.
Hope you can solve the problem.

You did a lot of steps that shouldn't have been done in the first place so instead of trying more things that wouldn't work just flash the official stock NE1 firmware from https://mega.co.nz/#!2QRmCbyb!YkWs927BfvYxqL-vJiQHXkshqG3UtqHm4XIDbgLsEK0 ,extract the zip file you'll get a tar file ,put your phone into download mode , (uninstall kies) only run odin, connect the phone to computer,make sure the ID:COM turns blue then check mark AP/PDA tab on odin and select the downloaded firmware.Dont touch anything else hit start and let odin do it's magic once your dad's phone successfully boots and you get network etc etc.then ask me i'll tell how to root the stock firmware and run custom ROM.Good luck.

Thankyou Sooooooo verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry muchhhhhhhhhhh :laugh: Bless You.
Thanks For the detailed step by step with the link AND working reply. Thankyou. This is the first rom that worked, i even tried another and thought phone is dead and me.
Please let me know how to kitkat it now.
Should i follow same steps.
i.e install cwm
then should i first install wifi driver by dr ketan, or boot loader or the rom ? from here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472270
Thanks again :laugh:
very odd.
the phone after flashing, is now booting into previous rom i.e 4.4 Kitkat ???
is my phone screwed? using odin 3.04
shouldn't it be booting into stock now as you said after the flashing
thanks

That's odd,go perform a factory reset and see what happens.Which one was your previous ROM?
Edit: After factory reset if it still boots in your old ROM, reflash the stock rom i gave you and then tell me what happens.
Use odin v3.09 at least ill give you the link hold on
http://odindownload.com/
Are you sure it's the OLD ROM and not stock rom?Check in settigns>>about device>>and tell what you see under build # cause the link i gave you is of Kitkat ROM too NE1 firmware

Yes you dont need bootloader nor wifi fix anymore since flashing official stock 4.4.2 you are on the newest boootloader.Now you need to root your phone.So you need philz touch 6.41.tar file and supersu v 1.97.
Philz tar file
SuperSu v1.97
Refer to this post of mine in another thread How to root
The above posts show how to flash recovery in odin and do exactly what it says in the image UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT IN ODIN once its done flashing and says pass phone wont be turned off so remove the phone from laptop and pull the battery out and follow my instructions there.
Once you boot your phone again after flashing superSU it will ask you if you want to disable KNOX select yes (knox will be triggered to 0x1 that means warranty will be void)
Also thank the person when you visit his thread since he made the thread and i just helped him a bit.his id is smeet.somaiya

Thanks. Thanked the person. And Your Post.
Just installed cwm and super su. thanks again.
Btw the link to download odin seems to be spamware, insted of downloading odin, i got a program 104kb giving lots of options, and at the end still did not install odin. Just for info. (i already had odin later version, and used that before, but wanted to check if a newer one is available, so header over there).
Going to install dr ketans custom rom. fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the help, will update, how it goes.
It never asked me to disable knox...
Would it be problematic if knox is not disabled ? as i wanted to use knox.
...
Finished flashing dr ketans rom, and it booted just fine, albiet slow compared to the stock rom.
Thankyou Pratik for all the help with detail and correctness.
Bless You.

Ya i think all the custom ROM for our note 2 are heavily modded the latest ones that's why sometimes just to feel the smoothness i flash back stock ROM and when i get bored of them i flash one of the custom roms.Glad to know you were able to successfully flash the rom of your choice.Enjoy.
Help
Hello everybody, I have a problem with my galaxy note 2 N7100.
The problem is the following:
One day I was using my phone normally, and all of a sudden the screen turned off and the phone never turned on again, (if you press the power button the screen turns a little gray, but you must be in a dark place to perceive it)
I can't access download or any other mode, or at least I can't detect if the phone has accessed it, because the screen just turns a little gray and does nothing else.
I have the drivers and have the official ROM for my region, ODIN installed, ADB, and other flashing tools and recovery files. But it has been long time since the last time I flashed something or did anything to the device and would appreciate a little help.
Can anyone here help me to solve this issue or knows what is happening with my phone?
Thank you for any kind of help you can give me
Update: I "think" I got into download mode blindly, just press the home+power+down vol buttons, then pressed up vol and connected the phone to the usb, surprisingly the computer made the usb sound that indicated me that the connection was recognized, Odin showed the ID:COM blue, so I proceeded to load the original rom and flash it, it took around 3.5 minutes and finally it showed succesful. But when I pressed the power button to turn on the phone, the screen still grey and doesn't start. I'm starting to think its a screen problem. I already purchased a new screen so I'm going to tell a frend to install it for me.
I'll be in touch

BRICKED... help?

Hey all, I need some help. I bricked my phone, and I can only get into download mode and recovery. Flashing through odin fails each time, and so does flashing through recovery. Gives me a status 7 error. Ive made sure I'm downloading all the proper files, but Im stumped here. My phone also isnt recognized in Kies. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times now. Im too nervous to go to an AT&T store because theyll see I voided my warranty from the recovery (using philz recovery).
Anyone got any clue on what Im doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: In your sig, it says you have an S2? this is the S3 section.
What happened exactly to soft-brick?
The software you're flashing with Odin might not be good, try another one. Also, since you can get in recovery, you can try clean flashing the ROM you had running previous to the brick.

I have an S3 now, just havent updated my sig.
And I was trying to root. I was on the latest stock 4.4.2 and flashed the wrong file by mistake. Forgot what it was. So now I cant flash any files in recovery or odin. It just fails each and every time. I know all these files cant be bad
So root wasnt successful and now I cant even revert back to stock
Kies interferes with odin. Uninstall it from your computer and try odin again.

Still didnt work. Odin let me install a recovery file, but it just wont let me install files to restore back to stock. Same with recovery, I'm still getting the status 7 error. It doesnt make any sense. Ive downloaded and redownloaded from different places, so I highly doubt that all these files are bad
Are you running the latest Philz? Sometimes, the status 7 error occurs with an outdated recovery. Have you tried flashing a custom ROM with TWRP?

I'm running 6.0.5 - no I haven't tried TWRP
What rom were you running before? What do you want to be running now?
And what is your current firmware/bootloader version? Not sure about philz recovery, but status 7 errors usually occur when you dont have the required firmware build.
Also, at least for the T999, cm roms updater-scripts are outdated. So if we have the newest available, it still gives the status 7 errors because the new builds haven't been added. Just thought I'd mention this in case you're updated to the new kk firmware and are trying to flash a cm rom.

I was running official 4.4 unrooted. I'm trying to install Likewise S5.
Install terminal emulator from the play store and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
If it returns I747UCUEMJB you should be ok to flash likewise and something else is preventing it. If its anyway but that, you probably need to update your base firmware/bootloaders first.
If you're still unable to boot anything, the build should be shown on the Download Mode screen. You can probably reflash your previous rom and boot to that for right now though.
I was able to get a custom ROM installed, but now I have no reception. Im guessing the bootloader needs to be updated. So I tried updating it via odin. That failed. I also tried flashing it in recovery and still got a status 7 error. Im at my whits end here
You probably need to flash your modem. Run the Terminal Emulator command I posted before, and if it returns I747UCUEMJB, flash the MJB modem. If it returns anything else, flash the modem that matches, but let us know first just to be on the safe side.

So yeah, you need the 1747UCUFNE4 baseband. Look in Settings/About Phone to know which one you have before going and flashing it.

[Q] need help urgently please :'(

i don't know how i did that stupid thing ! i'm using note 2 gt-n7100 ( rooted ) i tried to install a new rom that doesn't built for my phone with " mobile odin v 4.2 pro unfortunately it flashed the sumsung star dous stock rom on my mobile but it doesn't boot .. i entered the philz touch recovery menu and select clean to install a new rom and restore my old rom and the problems started to appear !
the first thing is when i press the power button to lock my note 2 and try to open it again i find no response at all and the only way is to remove the battery and re turn it on again and try not to press the lock button as if i do so my mobile gives me no response and the screen doesn't turn on !
the second matter i noticed that when the start up i found the bluetooth icon trying to turn to green like i'm turning the bluetooth on but a few seconds it didn't turn on even i try to turn it ! the bluetooth doesn't work at all !
the third thing when i recieve a call that turn on the proximty sensor automatically if i touch the sensor the screen go black but i lose the control and give me no response at all and i have to remove the battery and turn it on again !
the things i noticed when i flashed the galaxy star rom with mobile odin that it has partion called param and the note to doesn't have it with its rom but have partion called modem which i didn't found in the galaxy star rom !
i need help please how i delete things that caused that conflict .. i tried to reflash the stock rom of my note with odin on my lap top but nothig changed and it hanging and the screen freezes with no control at all and that happened when i try to use a custom rom and flash it through the recovery .. please help urgently
sorry for my bad english
Two options I see:
1. Try to restore your device using Kies3
2. Flash newest firmware (get it from sammobile) for your region using PC-Odin.
Putting "need help urgently please :'(" does not help you in any way, in fact it makes it more likely that people will simply ignore the topic. Topic titles need to be descriptive, not generic non-descriptive.
Your problem is that like many newbies you cant be bothered to do research, read and learn before messing around with your device.
You should boot into download mode and flash a stock rom. Preferably a older one that doesn't have knox. Then flash a stock rom(without knox) in recovery mode. All the info you need is here on forum.

i forgot to tell that one of the things changed that my mobile lost the usb support in the normal mode as there is no change when i connect it to my pc except it charges only but it works in the download mode and when i reflash the stock rom v 4.3 the screen freezes after a few seconds of turning it on and i have to remove the battery .. do you think that flashing the 4.4.2 sthock rom will make a change ? as the solution of kies isn't possible due to the lack of usb support !
is there a way to format the sectors that the pation " param " which flashed by the sumsung star dous stock rom is in it and make that conflict to delete that ??
What was your last stock rom on your device before messing up?
I do absolutely not agree with those horror tales about knox, most people don't use and easily get rid of.
Do you remember your last bootloader? MK4 or above? Then don't take any risk by flashing 4.3 firmware and go straight ahead to 4.4.2.
It will be the safest way to get a working device again.

So you can also try the NA1 firmware, but nothing beneath that. NA1 is a knox enabled BL, so whatever you flash successfully will have Knox in it.
DON'T TICK REPARTITION!

OK, I see. Try a wipe from stock recovery, wipe all possible.
Another option: Kies!
I know, you said not recognized but you must get it to work. Uninstall all drivers from PC an re-install drivers until Kies can restore your device.
Very last option: Find a Samsung repair near to you.

As you mentioned you already have been on NA1 firmware and as it seems you have flashed latest 4.4.2 with "a kind of success" I find it hope- and useless to even try this rescue rom. Bootloader is the reason why you can't successfully flash. NO DOWNGRADE POSSIBLE.

Can you illustrate your words ? For kies it's unpossible to connect my mobile to any pc the drivers works perfectly for any similarphone the fault is in my mobile not the driver and for sumsung care it will be high cost as the warranty ended ! And I wipe every thing possible through the stock recovery but noyhing changed !
I am beginning to lose my patience cause you don't follow my advice or even don't consider that I am right.
Look into system on your PC if there is an unknown device.
Whenever hardware is connected to PC Windows starts to search for drivers.
It doesn't matter that other devices are recognized correctly.
Wipe all Samsung drivers and re-install. Even re-install Kies too.
Start Kies and try restoration, maybe it will fail, but try. AND with current drivers you are supposed to fail.
At last: Try to find a friend with knowledge who can help you at your home or his.
