hey all, i'v searched a bit but i could not find any ROM for S4 mini (serranolte) no LTE, no dual sim, eurpe version.. i tryed to flash lineageOS serranoltexx but it's not working (error 7, serranoltexx is not for serranolte). Also I am wondering why there is serranolte, because i have no LTE/4G option in system i recently flashed.. phone was wiped completely due to company policities, so maybe I flashed non LTE version of stock rom with ODIN? Is that possible?
## CLOSE PLEASE##
I don't notice that TWRP is not working with lineageOS. clockworkmod works.

I think you may have flashed the wrong ROM (or your company did), error 7 normally means it has failed when checking you have a compatible ROM for your phone model.
You say "ROM for S4 mini (serranolte) no LTE" but as the name serranoLTE implies it IS for LTE version, LTE =i9195. If your phone only has 3g then you need the serrano3gxx ROM not the LTE, 3g variant is the I9190 (there are other s also). So something is wrong, not sure if it is you or your company that is wrong. You need to check model number shown under battery and flash the correct ROM, if it's the wrong ROM you may get lots of errors, or heat, short battery life etc
TWRP does work and is the preferred recovery as it is actively supported while CWM is no longer supported, maybe that's why it may have allowed you to flash wrong ROM or maybe TWRP thought the phone was the other model as your company had already flashed wrong ROM so gave you the error when it checked compatibility even though you tried to flash he correct ROM.
If your phone is the 3g version then even though you flashed the LTE ROM you will not have LTE as your phone does not have the LTE hardware. Someone did this before, I think they said it does not even show the option in settings, but I could be wrong.
NOTE: flashing the wrong ROM can brick your phone! (though as they are so similar it's unlikely but possible, you are probably the first to flash the wrong version of LinageOS, if that is indeed what you/your co. have done!. So unknown risk.)

Hi All,
I'm having problem flashing modem rom to SHV-E370K (Korean version of I9195).
Originally I tried to flash full KitKat CM11 nightly rom. This went fine, but modem was not updated (baseband version stayed the same - E370KKKUANF1). Then I tried to flash european version I9195XXUCNF7 - no luck. Odin failed with "secure check fail sbl1". Flash with I9195XXUCNE6 gave me same result. Then I tried to update modem only by using flashing "Modem-I9195XXUCNE6.tar" via Odin - again I got secure fail (this time for modem). Finally I flashed back the most current Samsung rom (E370KKKUANF1_E370KKTTANF1_E370KKKUANF1_HOME) and tried flash either of those european modems onto this rom - same secure fail issue.
Now I have no idea if I can update modem at all until Samsung releases KitKat update specifically for this Korean version. From my perspective, it should not be a problem, as model is still I9195, and any rom and modem should be able to go in, right? I don't care if LTE works - all I need is regular calls, that's it.
The reason I want to update modem is constant signal loses - phone connection is up and down multiple times a day. I hoped that new firmware would help with that.
So, is there any way I can flash this phone with latest modem rom?
Thanks in advance for help!
P.S. I'm using this phone in US.

NEVER FLASH FIRMWARES/ROMs meant for one model number onto another. E370K is NOT A VARIANT OF I9195. It is one of the LTE variants of S4 Mini. I9195 is the international LTE S4 Mini that supports LTE bands in whole of europe, australia, parts of Asia and probably latin America.
SBL1 is a bootloader file and if you fail at that stage chances are you will hard brick the phone.
E370K is not I9195 and only flash ROMs/MODEMs/FIRMWAREs meant for that particular model number. Go to sammobile and download desired kitkat firmware by searching for sgh-e370k and if you want modem then extract non-hlos.bin and repack it as tar.md5 and flash as PDA/AP. GOOD LUCK.
Once again warning you not to flash I9195 modems onto other devices. You will potentially brick your phone.

Are you sure that E370K is not i9195? It is advertised as such, plus CM11 for i9195 installd on it with no problems. My understanding is that they are not different at all except that E370Khas LTE class 4 instead of class 3. Everything else (mobo etc) is very the same.

I tried the M9 snapshot of CM11 and i dont have GSM network. There´s a NO SIM indication... :|
What version of CM11 did you install?
I have an SGH-1747M which I am sure is the correct model since that it is what it said before I installed a new ROM and it is the model listed at the back of the phone, with the serial number. Recently, I installed a Lollipop ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/development/rom-d2spr-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3074688
The ROM was meant for for the model SPH-L710, but it managed to be installed on my SGH-1747M phone. The ROM, although it works perfectly, has changed the model number on my phone to SPH-L710, and now my phone is only compatible with d2spr. I tried installing the ROM actually meant for my phone but I was unable to since my phone isn't d2att (the actual code for my phone) anymore. I tried installing a stock ROM through odin but it still won't recognize my phone as SGH-1747M.
I need to know how I can return back to my default model, since I have been told I will have network problems with the current ROM since it is not meant for my phone.

Visit this thread but don't flash anything else until you have read and asked for help there . Post there and explain your situation and even private message the op if you need to . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363882
I would just be extremely careful with this. Do you make a nandroid backup before flashing? I would restore that or a previous one first. That will probably fix your problem.
Have you tried to flash one of the Unified CM 11 Zips? Those are kind of universal installer, see if that will fix your problem. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte Download this and make sure you wipe everything a few times. Then install the zip.
People on here bricked devices by downgrading to certain modems/basebands after flasher a newer one. It seems like you have a newer modem, so I wouldn't try it. If you can still get into download mode, I would flash the latest tar for your device. I'm pretty sure it is an AT&T device or close variant.

Thanks it worked.
My phone was working fine and suddenly one day it got stuck on booting screen, then i have tried everything including flashing Rom, but all in vain, finally i ordered a new motherboard from aliexpress.com, the phone got started but everything is in Chinese language, play store was not there and even it is not working when installed from other sources, even whatsapp not working and i am not able to install without google play store. Earlier version installed in the new chinese motherboard was android 4.1.2 and it was asking for software update , when i have updated its software to 4.3 , baseband version N7100ZCUEB1 AND KERNEL VERSION 3.2.31-2859655, BUILD NUMBER JSS15J.N7100CUEOK1.,due to chinese version i am not able to use whatsapp or playstore.After updating the phone, i am not able to make a call and it shows the error "not registered on network" even the apps installed by me are not working, kindly advice what to do, should i use any other version or anything else.This is a chinese motherboard and i want change its software to indian version, what should i do?
Boot into download mode to confirm the model #. If it is a Note 2 made for the Chinese market, the Play store may not function on the phone.

Hmm, looks like it might be the China version of the Note 2 which has limited features. Search XDA for the Note 2 China version and you'll see that many people have problems with flashing ROMs.
Can you send it back and get the international version of the motherboard?

If the phone was the international version, it should say "GT-N7100" in Odin mode. See the picture from post number 1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261
There's nothing wrong. You need to write the IMEI to the phone memory. By the way you didn't need to buy the entire motherboard. Only the phone memory (16gb eMMC) was corrupt. Samsung produced faulty emmc in the early S3 and Note 2 models (google and you'll see). Mine had same problem I took it to repair shop and they replaced the emmc and wrote the IMEI. Charged me around $40 in local currency. Just tell them you have corrupt IMEI and they'll do it for very little amount of money. After you do that, flash TWRP custom recovery and take back up of your EFS and Modem folder (the IMEI is located here). Then you can upgrade to 4.4.2 and restore EFS and Modem from TWRP.
I don't think it is corrupt or defective chip since 4.3 successfully installed on the phone.
i have changed the CSC code from CHN to INU, after then when i went to recovery mode it shows INU in place of CHN, but i was not able to flash indian ROM in that via odin 3.09, it shows the message "nand write start : failed" and finally failed.
When tried with ODIN 3.07 it shows the error, serial port is not communicating , while USB debugging is allowed in my phone.In recov ery mode it shows the phone detail GT-N7100_CHN_CHINEXYNOS4412 and downside it shows CSC code INU, could any one suggest which ROM to FLASH and how?
CWM recovery is already flashed in it and it is already rooted.
I tried to flash offical 4.4.2 ROM indian version and failed , could anybody pls suggest anything else.
I know of no way to flash a non-Chinese ROM to this phone. I have seen people try to get a ROM onto a Chinese phone. When they do get the ROM installed, The Play store will not run.
The CSC is simply a carrier customization. The problem is the bootloader which prevent the installation of non-authorized ROMs.

This ROM is not official, it is a custom ROM as seen in recovery mode.
Based on your first post, the phone looks to be running official 4.3 Chinese rom: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7100/CHN/
All Samsung phones made for mainland China have very tight restrictions on the rom, bootloader, and apps.

i think you misunderstood my post...I said his PREVIOUS emmc was faulty. Now that he bought and entirely new motherboard( which has the emmc) he everything is fine. He just needs to write the IMEI to connect to network (not registered on network error).

Hey if you can't flash other ROMs from odin..
take it to repair shop, they have 3rd party hardware flashing tools, they'll flash the latest 4.4.2 international rom.
I'm not sure if it's possible to flash an international ROM on the phone. Also, the phone may not have the necessary hardware to support the carrier's radio frequencies. If the phone shows the correct imei, not being able to connect to a cell carrier could be a hardware limitation.

before up-gradation of this new chinese rom , network was working fine , so it must be enabled for the frequency range.
The phone may have been running a custom ROM or a hack to allow the phone to work with your carrier? I'm not sure but it does sound like the motherboard is made for mainland China.

Same problem for my Devise S4 mini Dous GT-I9192, Officially you will not find any Samsung Stock Rom higher than 4.2.2 the only way to look for Custom Roms the only problem you will face both Sims are on always as all Custom Roms based on CM. other problems are minor specially when you use Stable Custom Rom

First you need to take some time to learn all about "flashing" (writing new software [firmware really] onto hardware ie chip in your phone), as doing it wrong can "brick" your phone (turn phone into a brick, yes never work again!), eg flashing wrong model number eg I9190 firmware to your phone.
I couldn't find the tutorial you mention in first 5 pages of search, do you mean this one?
http://android.sc/update-android-4-4-2-i9192xxucng2-kitkat-on-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-duos/
strictly speaking you should not flash firmware from another region as it can stop your phone working properly. But it is possible, though I don't know about your phone or these tutorials as I haven't read them and checked all files etc
This tutorial has more info, that may help you if you decide to continue (at your own risk!)
http://techbeasts.com/update-galaxy-s4-mini-duos-i9192-to-android-4-4-2-kitkat-official-firmware/
in particular it says back up your EFS which is particular important when flashing different region in case you mess up (save to external SD & copy to PC also)
by flashing you will wipe all your personal data stored on internal SD eg photos, msg, notes, calendars etc so you need to back them up to PC (or external SD)
Kies wont let you flash that ROM as it's from wrong region (I think). Odin will though.
Nobody can help unless you give us the exact error msg + other info like Odin ver, file names etc
If you are going to flash a new ROM you might want to flash a newer custom ROM, like Cyanogenmod 13, Linage 13 or 14 (Android versions 6 & 7 respectively), you'll get new features, much better battery life, security and privacy though you will lose Samsung apps like notes etc

I tried it again using the firmware from TT. This was before I saw your reply and I got this message. It was stuck for a while and I plugged in my internet adapter and it said it failed. ( in the pictures)
If you type in this,"manually update i9192 kitkat" on google, it should be the first site to come up which is the one I used.
My phone was made in china, bought in the USA, being used in the Caribbean but has Saudi Arabia codes. I don't understand. The last update from them is 2014. I used the one from Russia and TT. Both of them failed.
Should I stick with updating it to 4.4.2, flash a newer ROM ? Would this 'newer ROM' be able to work on my phone?
Or drop the whole thing because I have no idea what I'm doing?
Is there a low chance of me bricking my phone if I flash a newer ROM?

Is your phone connecting properly? There is nothing showing in the id com port window at top left, when connected properly there will be, or does that disappear when error msg shows? I can't remember. Possible it means your drivers are not installed properly, or try newer ones here (though not always better)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956&page=61
(scan with anti virus first)
You might want to try a newer version of Odin
Though first thing is try another usb cable. Also usb cable must always be connected to usb connectors attached direct to the PC pcb (normally at the back (or side on laptop), not an extra one like at the front and definitely not thought an external usb hub.
Your phone is probably grey market, nothing wrong with that, mine is too (mine is German phone, bought from HK used in Australia). However if pre owned it could have had other roms flashed,
It's entirely up to you which version of Android you want to use, they will all work on your phone, though anything higher than 4.4.2 will be a custom ROM, most of us here run them ie Cyanogenmod (CM) or Linage (LOS) which has recently replaced CM. LOS still has a few little issues but it is already stable, though a couple of small bugs. The good thing is you will get regular updates for many, including the monthly security updates, and they have a many new features too. To flash these you will however need to unlock your bootloader and use TWRP for the recovery.
I suggest you make a nandroid back up as soon as you install TWRP, then you can always go back to your current setup.

Yes, it's connected properly. It is highlighted blue by ID:COM before the error occurs. I just installed the drivers you sent me.
I did the update with the latest Odin and I still got the error message.
Only my original cable connects to the computer so I cant try any others. Once it's connected and appears in 'my computer', doesn't that means its connected?
It wasn't pre-owned but how would I know if a ROM is already installed?
I think I want to upgrade to the 4.4.4 and IF I get it to work, I will then upgrade to the latest one. I'm assuming this is easier and since I have no idea what I'm doing or where to go, I should definitely go with the easiest first. Right ? You lost me at Cyanogenmod. This is guy stuff.
Can you direct me where I need to go please with some instructions ?
Thank you

If I remember correctly (it's been a long time) when odin gets stuck at get pit it is normally a communication issue even though your phone appears to show up correctly in it. You must run Odin with full admin rights on your pc. Some used to say only the Odin for S4 Mini & ver 3.07 or 3.09 (I think it was) would work (see the S4 mini Odin thread) Some firewalls can cause issues so turn them off (maybe reboot with antivirus off). You need a usb port that connects direct to the motherboard & original usb cable (really just needs a good quality cable in good condition, I think, just not one of those thin $5 ones).
If that doesn't work try to borrow another USB cable or try another PC or laptop.
Luckily I've never had any issues, all Odin ver worked, I just right click on Odin to run as admin from my user account on Windows 7 64bit even with Zonealarm firewall running. But other people have had problems.
No need to update to 4.4.2 etc if you will try to install a custom ROM like Linage or Cyanogenmod or one of the more customised . (in fact on my I9195 updating to 4.4.2 loaded a new bootloader, which had a stronger ver of knox)
If Odin won't flash stock you can try flash TWRP with Odin then use that to try flash a custom ROM from your sd card using TWRP instead of using Odin. Use TWRP from the neozone75 thread, I am using the tryout ver 3.1 which is working perfectly, so I suggest that. (ver 3.0..3 gave me errors checking the md5, though most people don't both with that check, so would work). Linage OS is about to change official version from LOS13 to LOS14 (Android 6 & 7) so you might want to wait a week or so if you choose that ROM, as I don't think there will then be any updates to LOS13 after that as each phone on LinageOS downloads section only has 1 Android version supported.
I'm planning on running Lineage OS. I was wondering if I can load Lineage OS on my Note 2 device. I would hopefully like Mobile Services like LTE and calling/texting to work, wifi too. Help please!
You should make a TWRP backup and try the build for t0lte.
If it doesn't work then restore your backup.

Thanks! But you know... I'm a little bit new to this. What is t0lte mean and would verizon work with this (LTE and WIFI and also texting and calling.
Why I'm new is because I used to hack around with my old kindle tablet and I just got my first android phone (used to have an iPhone 6). So I check the lineage OS website and I didn't see one for SCH-I605, so I thought there would be no options. But thanks!

The galaxy note 2 has a few versions, the two biggest are the international version (t03g/GT-N7100; doesn't support LTE ), (t0lte/GT-N7105; supports LTE). I personally don't suggest you install lineage for t0lte but you could try and give it a shot. it has been known that kernels for the n7105 can work on the i605 so I don't see why a rom wouldn't be able to work since the differences between the devices are minimal. I doubt you will be able to install it though since there should be a device check within the updater script that prevents you from installing the ROM but you can look it up on how to remove this checking if you REALLY want to install it. Be careful if you flash the rom, make sure you do a TWRP backup of the system and data to be on the safe side.
Regards
EDIT: There seems to be a few people who has had some success when installing lineage t0lte for the i605. I still advise against it but at least now you know that it may work for you.

Thanks for that, now I understand! I've been stuck on one route for the past while though. Since the I605 uses Verizon which has a locked down boot loader... I've been trying to run Suck It Verizon and No You Verizon. Im kind of worried if I will get soft bricked, which is fine because I can flash stock recovery, but if I get hard bricked, I'm screwed for sure. So I've been trying to load a android 4.1 or 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 stock rom but I can't seem to do that because I run 4.4.2, as of that I already have No you Verizon (Android File Host has working downloads for it right now). If you know what I mean, have you gone through this trouble before (or parts of it?), because I am in horrible pain lol.
No joy on the t0lte LineageOS. It fails the device check.
