try my unbrick guide in the s4 mini general forum
but first check if the connection to the screen is really proper

hi your post on unbricking says
Bootloader > BOOTLOADER...
PDA > CODE...
PHONE > MODEM...
CSC > CSC...
PIT > CSB..
but my odin has
bootloader
ap
cp
csc instead of pda and phone so not sure where to put the files

ahhh success thankyou very much took 4 times flashing with odin before phone actually stayed on kept shutting down again what can i do to stop it happening again what is all this twrp and custom roms?

Died again was working then took battery out to put sim card in tried unbricking again no luck just says recovery booting.......set kernal bit grrrr

Have you ever managed to get that fixed? I'm having the same issue. When I tried to change the loud speaker the phone randomly shows blue screen and crashes. Now it won't even boot or enter the recovery mode, only download mode.
When I restore the stock firmware it keeps booting forever on samsung logo.

stuck on black screan

well That's what I thought first I'm gonna check that before I go any further but the thing is that phone was plugged in to charger all night and than when I got up I decide I'm gonna turn off the key press sounds after I've locked screen, phone crash and I can't turn it on anymore I think What happened is when it crash I couldn't restart it so I've get the battery out and now it maybe hard bricked so lets say its hard bricked how do I unbrick it any chances to do it at home without jtag or sending phone to service

ok so different battery doesn't work so it means the phone is bricked What the hell to do now ? I had it soft bricked but that means just flashing soft again how do I flash my phone If I can't turn it on ??

Maybe this is related to your problem. Not sure though.

Please dont use the term soft-bricked it sounds ridiculous. You're device is either "bricked" or it isnt. If you can flash a rom to device to solve an issue you're device is not "bricked".
If it's not turning on with a new battery it sounds like you have a hardware failure so may need a new mobo or JTAG service.

Think ive killed it :/ Tab S2 T813

ok so bottom line is, I was in the middle of flashing official rom when at about 25% it failed. Don't ask why! (i still had recovery at this point) so I went ahead and cleaned absolutely everything thinking i'll just try and reflash as before. Now with power lead out it won't switch on at all and when power is supplied it shows message "An error has occured while udating the device software." loops at approx 3 sec intervals cant do anything with it.
Ive tried everything I can think of all to no avail! yes its my own fault bla bla bla just wondering if i act have f***** it.
Thanks to anyone with any ideas

You probably going to get a better help at TAB S2 board this is for the tab S1.
If it is hard bricked there is JTAG methods that can help, just need to find one for your device, not easy though.
But all I can do is share my experience with something like this, in a more "cheap" way than JTAGs, dunno if it helps:
I never had a similar problem on the tab S. But in the past a galaxy player 5.0 of mine had a very similar problem (as far I remember the screen just powered the back light but without any letters or simbols)
in 2012, I bricked it trying to mount a swap partition (280mb RAM ftw) accidentally pointing the wrong partition, and got the entire internal storage corrupted.. everything.. system, bootloader, recovery etc
My player was turning on only connected to a USB or charger, like yours. in fact It was hard bricked
I was able to recover it using Linux (because it is the only system able to communicate with the bricked device I had)
The problem is that everything need to be very specific, for example I used a software made for the galaxy s1 to "revive" my player 5 (both have the same hardware) it just made the device be detected via ADB. So I needed to prepare a SD with the same size as the internal storage (in this case 8gb) using the Linux terminal to mount in the SD an exactly schematic of the internal memory using a dump of another device that a xda user shared, (the dump was empty only with the bootloader, recovery etc) but it still had 8gb decompressed. So after that I used ADB to push the SD card content to the internal memory. And it get back to life \○/
Well.. it took me 1 week with a guide!! On the trial and error method. But it worked.. not perfectly, I get bootloops every time I try to flash a rom via Odin, but recovery works, and I have the device working until today

Hi, I Greatly appreciate your reply and advice. Think tho that your solution is a bit beyond my know how I know a little about ADB etc but i would have difficulties in compiling necessary files to sideload. Also many tanks for the link din't realise. Thanks Pal!

If you can get it in to download mode you can flash stock rom back on it.......refer to xda samsung tab s2 for more details on this........

thx for reply but it reboots approx every 3 seconds so I dont have enough time to do anything with it :/

Plug in changer and push power and volume up and down all together and you will see the battery charger icon then you can get it in to download mode from there.....

Stinka ure a superstar (atm!) I did as you suggest to no avail but I noticed a slight increase in the time it took to start rebooting again. I do not know which buttons did this but some 20 later it lasted long enough for me to be able to flash twrp. Now i havent actually tried that as yet as i wanted to check with you first... I have the battery logo on screen, i tried recovery and it started as it should but then rebooted, now im unsure at this time whether the battery is almost dead or not so i got it on charge and have the grey battery with a white flash inside... is this what i want for now until its charged? if so i'll keep you informed thamnks more than u know if uve helped me fix this, the reason i was flashing was because when i received it (no warranty!!) the screen sometimes flickered and it would constaly end up rebboting after digging around re that im lead to believe it need a new battery and for the connecting wires to be resoldered. Anyways thanks again n as I say i'll keep this updated
Cheers
Tony

one of the probs i hab/have with this unit is that it takes approx a day to fully charge!!! when i received it the screen flickered on the odd occasion but it was rebooting much more frequently. It came with stock n not messed with previously (i new this prior to purchase so got it for right price thinking it only needed flashing, how wrong was I!!!) so I flashed and encountered the above mentioned problems! thanks to stinka I surprisingly managed to flash a recovery... now provided all goes to plan, which rom would one suggest for stability and generally hassle free and prusuming the aforementioned probs, rebooting etc are still there what could i try to stop that? other than a debloated stock I found Lineage an excellent rom but still the problems got so bad the unit became unusable and was lucky not to go out the window. Im thinking do i start with a replacement battery and check the wires etc or could this still be a software issue??

if i endevoured to do the hardware myself would I attempt it by removing screen or the base for access to battery/connector??
Thanks again

In the tab s1 the best way is removing the back cover, but for some reason tab s2 seen to be the screen... at least in this guide: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+Tab+S2+Battery+Replacement/56616
Look like alot more complex than the s1 :/

My guess is your issue is lack of charge in the device. That's the reason for the flashing failure and the reboot loop with the firmware error.
Bang it on charge for a while then irrespective of what it's doing, whether it's looping or not, hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until download mode appears.
Reflash the stock firmware with odin.

swapped battery and reflashed stock via odin. It has helped although the issues are all still there its just they happen less frequently which doesnt mean its any less frustrating.

Bricked S4 Mini Duos GT-I9192

Hello everyone, hope someone would be able to help me recover this phone
The phone gets stuck at the logo screen, left it like that for 7 hours but no change
Recovery mode gives a black screen, not sure if it does access it but display nothing or doesn't access it at all
I have tried using Kies but every time I type the model as per the sticker under the battery, Kies replies with "Please check model number"
I can go into Download mode, Odin detects the phone as COM 3, but doesn't go beyond the initialization step
Some people actually suggested smacking the phone on the power button side, I did it as I was desperate but nothing changed
As the list above states, I am out of ideas and not sure if I can get this phone to work again.
Just to let everyone know, it had a stock firmware, no root and no custom recovery.

according to a repair shop, it is more of a hardware issue and some parts would need changing but cost was almost the price of the phone if i were to sell it while working so it wasnt worth it

how was your experience with the battery of the S4 Mini Duos. For how long does ir last ?? and how much time does was it taking ??
Thanks,,

Weird Bootlooping A50

Hello, I've tried my best but really am struggling.
When I first got the phone the only sign of life was when charging it there was a charging circle. I managed to play around and now while plugged in I am able to get into download mode while holding Volume Up + volume Down. However, the phone is continuously looping while plugged in (unless in download mode) & does absolutely nothing when not plugged in. When I get into recovery mode it instantly reboots, and whenever I try flash stock firmware I get PIT or bootloader error (<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.). My suspicion is the fact I do not have the correct stock firmware but for whatever reason I cannot find the firmware for this model (SM-A505FZWDINS, Indian version).
Does anyone know what I should do? I'd like to give life to this phone but I'm really out of ideas.
Thanks in advance,
icecub

Bad battery.

How definitive is this?

Is the battery know to be good?
If you don't know assume it's bad... everything you're stating indicates insufficient battery capacity.

Try twrp rooting formate then re flash stock firmware make sure Odin is the correct version this also happens when I don't have correct or upto date version hope this helps

same **** here. for me i cant charge the battery too. but before that with about the same problems i got it to work again for a few days.
funny that i saw more ppl at the last time here with the same problem. but i flash a stock firmware. R11 but it dosent solve it for a few days.
now it hangs allways on boot or warning logo for unlocked bootloader. i have used this phone over a year without this issue.
