Hi there, yesterday I updated some play store apps and a while later the tablet rebooted, it does it constantly. That is all I did in the past few months, I haven't installed a newer rom for a few months.
In Download mode, I see an error I haven't seen before: RP SWREV A3. I was on Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 (android 6). I tried re-flashing the rom from TWRP but I think it reboots before it completes flashing. I tried flashing with ODIN Stock 4.4 and 5.1.1, it finishes installing but it keeps rebooting at the Samsung logo. I don't what to do since I didn't do anything except update my apps... Please help
Here is the recovery.log:http://pastebin.com/raw/Kt5SDECf
Hey mate
That isn't fun but when I have installed stock Rom's via Odin I too have been stuck in the logo. Usually if you then go into recovery and wipe cache and do a factory reset it usually solves the issue, I would assume you have done this, if not give it a go. Be patient sometimes it does stay on the logo for a few minutes whilst it provisions the ROM, best of luck.

I have no idea what else to do, this my last_kmesg and my dmesg and the recovery.log if any one knows please help, the tablet switches off during install in TWRP and `adb`. I get the Error `RP SWREV A3` in Download mode.

You haven't stated if you get the error flashing a stock ROM, irrespective I have found some info on other forums and Google, see below:

I think you should try a stock firmware and I think it a bootloader issue which you can get past with your original stock ROM. What was the last factory ROM you had 4.4.2 or 5.1.1? Download a stock ROM and flash with an Odin version above 3, good luck.

Thanks for your reply,
With a stock Rom, I am able to install completely with ODIN but it still keeps on rebooting, I installed 4.4 and 5.1.1 from my region and other regions, even the last stock one I installed (ODIN doesn't fail, in fact it shows that it installed correctly). Through Recovery, it switches off before the install is complete, and then it keeps rebooting just like when I try with a stock Rom

Mate on the stock ROM you say it keeps rebooting, can you bring up recovery? If so you can wipe cache and do a factory default, this may resolve the issue, Failing that if you can get TWRP on it you can try and wipe all files from the system internal storage. Then try and install the stock ROM and try and load it from there.
I think in ODIN too you can wipe the partitions, you can also try that as a last resort.
You can also wipe away the entire internal storage file system in the advanced system settings and start from new with a custom ROM and install these off the SD card.
Good luck

Merry Christmas everyone. I tried to resolve this issue my self but was unable to. I had stock 4.3 rooted and flashed MOAR. MD5 matched. Everything seemed ok but when I flashed, it was stuck on "updating apps" for over 20 min. I did a battery pull. My phone started and I was able to go to TWRP recovery. I did a cache wipe and factory reset with plans of reflashing but everything was gone, including my nandroid. I tried to flash stock firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/ it said "failed". I cannot get back into TWRP. Is there any way I can restore to 4.1.2? Or 4.3? I just want to get the phone working again. Ideally I would like to get root back but my main priority is obviously just to get the phone working. Thank you.

I had a similar bad expreience with updating my rooted S3,
to recover your phone try to get md5 recovery room and install it using odin, try to get the one that called recovery (runs stock 4.0.4) then you can update by Kies to 4.3.
If stock means the Samsung update you need to flash the 4.3 firmware. If stock means the de-Knoxed version from here, I would start by flashing a new recovery image then reinstalling the de-Knoxed one.
Can you not get into any recovery at all?

When I press the volume up, home and power button it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again."
I installed the de-knoxed version..I would like to go back to the de-knoxed version if possible. Is there a way to flash new recovery image through ODIN...again, I'm not very confident in my abilities right now and don't want to flash anything to make it worse. Would it be possible to send me a link with what to flash. Thank you
Sorry I meant rom not room, but youv still can get it from the dev "room" forums. I got it from there.
sorry I cant post links here yet, i dont have the enough posts, but google "unroot sprint galaxy s3" it's one of he first links and once you get the md5 file you can use it with Odin, it's a simple process.
fixed it
Fixed it, got to keep root also. Flashed a new recovery image through ODIN (link for recovery in case anyone else needs it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38079994). Then flashed ROM. Thanks for your help guys.
After years of successful rooting I think I may have killed an SG3.
I was running OTA 4.3 from vzw and wanted to root it. I ha used Casual in the past I tried it again and it failed. I noted it was for 4.1/4.2 so I tried to Odin back to 4.1 from OTA 4.3 Little did I know this was bad juju. Now I have a phone that won't boot, it keeps saying firmware upgrade an issue. I can get to download mode but have no idea what to try and flash to it since I've read that flashing anything less than 4.3 won't work and the 4.3 official isn't available.
So, is it dead?
there's so much hope for your fone

first of all your phone isn't dead alright there is so much hope for that device you have now.
ok boot to recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot system...
If that fails,i'll advice that you use an official SG os that your phone came with and flash it with odin...
yup that should help

i guessing u can boot into download mode...
since u downgraded the fone,i'm pretty sure u av EFS issue at hand
u should get a current CWM and flash using odin...then boot into recovery and do the caches clearing\
if it doesnt work...please explain ur problem properly to me so that i can help u out
The device is not rooted. So flashing CWM or TWRP isn't going to work.
Here's what I did:
1. The phone is running NON-ROOTED stock 4.3 OTA from VZW.
2. Decided to root device so I tried Casual's Root app which I later realised only worked on 4.1/4.2 devices.
3. Since step 2 didn't work I tried to flash 4.1 to the phone via Odin.
4. Step 3 caused the device to no longer boot. It gives a firmware upgrade error and will only boot into download mode.
5. I obtained the 4.3 OTA and tried to flash it via Odin, no go. It didn't work.
The phone is effectively dead with only download mode working.
Phone is not dead till you can get to Recovery or Download mode.
You possibly have problem of new bootloader which might not be downgradable.
My suggestion would be :
1, Flash some Custom Recovery like CWM or PhilZ through PC ODIN.
2. Enter Recovery and format System,Data, Cache and Dalvik.
3. Flash some 4.3 based Custom ROM. (download it and place it on your External SDcard before doing anything)
4. Clear Cache and Dalvik again.Reboot.
Good luck !!!
I tried to flash CWM and TWRP, both failed. However, the device rebooted and worked after flashing the failed TWRP.
Hi everyone!
A friend of mine tried to flash/destroy his n7100 (i don't know why!) so He gave it to me to "play" and try to recover it.
I think that He tried to flash a 4.4.2 stock rom taken somewhere, so I have the lastest bootloader
I recovered it with KIES (that installed android 4.3) and the phone (now) boot completely and works at 100%!
BUT
sometimes when I detach it from power cord it immediatelly reboot and remain stuck at the "samsung galaxy note n7100" screen and bootloops.
If I reattach the power cord at the next poweroff/poweron cycle the phone start correctly and works 100%!!
Actually I'm on a full stock with root and TWRP installed, but this reboots happens also on full stock
It's really strange and I don't know how to get rid of this!
Actually the custom flash counter report 9 and the knox warranty void is at 1.
Someone has any idea of to get rid of theese strange reboots?

The only one that odin let me flash without problem is the one with 4.4.2 android from

every other bootloader I tried give me a flash error and the screen show "incompatible version".

I am on TWRP with Omega v24 and latest bootloader (i know because I have wifi, otherwise I would't have)
I got inconsistencies in the file system and today I had a UID mismatch message error at boot
I would like to format all the partitions (data/system/ecc) and flash a Rom via Odin just be sure...
Why are you sure that this rom should avoid reboot errors? Is there anyway to install this ROM or any other ROM via Odin so I can format all the partitions just to be sure?
Thanks!

You can flash with odin and repartition with your pit (or another from xda but be careful with that) your same stock and then flash the indicated rom so you have a clean installation

Do you have cwm? Then you can full wipe, then again you can format each partition separately, then go to android development thread, rom repository and download and flash stock rom, I suggested that specific rom because without the air command mod it's almost stock, without the Damned Knox.

Hi all,
I've looked through several of the existing threads on the Note 8 and I've not gotten anywhere yet. I had the device happily rooted and working for months and then, stupid me, I used ROM manager to flash a new ROM this morning and on boot, it's stuck on the logo.
I CAN get to the recovery menu, but reset to factory default does nothing. I have wiped the cache from recovery and then tried to factory reset again; still stuck on logo at boot.
I can also get to download mode and have tried using KIES 2.6 (since KIES 3 is for Android 4.4.2 and up) and every time I try to do the update firmware/recovery, it starts, stops and says 'there is a problem with the download file' and then it quits.
I have tried using ODIN 3.7 and a few different recovery files but although it will say 'passed', on reboot, it's stuck on the logo.
Can someone help me, please? This is the only tablet I own and I really need it to not be a door stop
:crying:
not bricked yet, maybe. for now, try to download latest firmware from sammobile.com for n5110 and use odin to flash it.
about the factory reset of course it would still boot loop, you are trying to factory reset a bootlooped rom so it doesnt matter. you should flash a new zip through recovery.

Hi Mr.201,
Thank you for the suggestion. Question, when you say download the latest firmware, will it matter if I don't use the original? I ask because I've been trying to find the original firmware (stock) and while I've found many sites with GT-N5110 FW's, they are all coded for other countries; I can't seem to find one for US. So, if I use a newer firmware, will that work?
I can still get to recovery mode and download mode. I don't know if USB debugging is on, though, which I hope won't matter at this point. I can't remember if it was on when it died on me.
I appreciate your advice! Hopefully, I can get this thing going again. That would certainly make me a happy camper!
For some reason, the US version is labelled as "Cellular South" but in general, any 5110 rom will work, although there are some quirks with wifi frequencies between the North American and European roms.
My Note 8 got stuck in a boot loop. It was rooted/custom recovery/custom ROM. I tried some of things you did, and nothing worked. I ended up downloading and installing the ODIN one click recovery/un-rooted stock image from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773712
This restores everything to stock (including the recovery). After flashing, it was still stuck in the boot loop. I booted into the factory recovery, and did a data wipe. After doing that, my note is working now. So ... doing this might be worth a try.
May I make a suggestion when flashing firmware... If you are flashing to something notreviously installed on the device. First flash with philz recovery and perform a full wipe for flashing new ROM. This way everything is clean for your flash to work properly.
A factory reset is not going to work as well for the new flash to take.
Hi, I've digged through much of xda and not found a satisfying answer. My phone boots into download, is detected by odin (7,8,9,12 all ok), and whatever I do, odin says it was successfull. I tried flashing the stock ROM, the official ROM with 4.4.2, pit file, all in vain. Before crashing my s4 was running cm13 with twrp3.0.2-1. When turning phone on, it just displays "Samsung GalaxyS4 mini / GT-I9195 label on black screen, with "set warranty bit: kernel" in upper left corner. Download mode boots ok, but recovery - twrp 3.0.2-1 logo is displayed for about 8 seconds, and then phone reboots to "normal" mode - displaying the logo.
It would be great if some of you had an idea of what to do as I've been trying on my own for 3 weeks now and nothing changed for better.
As there are people looking at this thread, it would be great to hear from you! I still did not succeed in flashing anything, twrp screen shows for 8sec and then phone reboots to normal, which is samsung splash screen. I'm using samsung drivers, have tried different usb ports, used different computers, still nothing.
Did you try 4 files firmware?
http://firmware.smartphonewp.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9195-full-firmware-4-files/
Hi,
Unfortunately I can't help you here, but I have a similar problem and it might be related to yours. I have also have a Samsung S4 mini GT-i9195 LTE. Originally with Android 4.4.2 but lately with no OS at all. And I can't figure out how to get one back. What happened, chronologically and (very) detailed:
I rooted my phone with KingoRoot, which worked fine as far as I can tell. When I didn't like the KingoSuperUser-App I installed SuperSU. But it failed to work, apparently because of Knox or something like that. I later wanted to flash my phone with a LineageOS ROM (lineage-14.1-20170505-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip) and therefore I wanted to install TWRP as custom recovery. As the usual way with Odin seemed a bit complicated to me at the time, I decided to install the "TWRP Manager" App, which went well. But as soon as I tried to install my ROM with it, it asked if my bootloader was unlocked. So, after searching the internet about that and it said that Samsung phones usually have an unlocked bootloader and only have to be rooted, I went on with installing the LineageOS ROM using the TWRP Manager. Mind you, I am not talking about the custom recovery that you have to boot in to by pressing Vol-Up+Home+On/Off-Button, I am talking about the app that you can download and just needs root permissions to do the same stuff. I had downloaded the ROM-zip onto my SDcard before and wanted to flash it from there.. Now, when I let the app go on, the screen just went blank. And this might be the moment I overreacted. I panicked and tried to start my phone again. But it only went as far as the Samsung logo and didn't go further and I had to pull the battery to turn it off. I then tried to boot into recovery mode by pressing Vol-up+home+On with no result, I then tried with Vol-down+home+On and found Download mode with:
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 -> this one might have been 0x0 the first time
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
After some research I downloaded Odin3 (v3.12.5) and managed to flash TWRP (2.6.3.0) onto my phone. And I found the ROM-zip file, but it would not let me unpack and flash it and it didn't help to uncheck the "Zip file signature verification." When I tried to flash I always got the same error massage:
Code:
Updating partition details...
Running boot script...
Finished running boot script.
Installing '/external_sd/lineage-14.
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file foun

Target: 1493971678
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/bl
Can't install this package on top of
E: Error executing updater binary in
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/lin
Updating partition details...
And it gives a "failed" response. Now, I tried moving the zip to internal_sd and flashing with no better result. I also tried to flash a stock ROM which I downloaded from Sammobile.com. This didn't work either. The adb push method and the sideload didn't work out either.
Interestingly, when I go to "Reboot" -> "Power Off" to turn the phone off I get a dialog:
No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to power off?
-> "Swipe to power off"
-> then comes the next dialog:
Install SuperSU?
Your device does not appear to be rooted.
Install SuperSU now?
This will root your device.
-> "Swipe to install."
Which had no effect at all but to inform me that my phone apparently isn't rooted after all. I therefore downloaded the S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip and tried flashing it, which was successful. But I still got the same dialog when powering off and I couldn't install the zip files either.
That's where I am now and I really don't know what to try or do next. As I could flash TWRP onto my phone, shouldn't it also be possible to flash an OS?
I hope this was a precise enough description. If someone has any further question, please ask.

Try an factory reset with the recovery.
Download a multiple Firmware from Sammy with PIT.file
Boot into Download mode.
Download Odin 3.07 or 3.09 not newer
Flash all Files with Pit.file

Try an factory reset with the recovery.
Download a multiple Firmware from Sammy with PIT.file
Boot into Download mode.
Download Odin 3.07 or 3.09 not newer
Flash all Files with Pit.file
Reboot.

I posted this thread precisely because my recovery DOES NOT work. No option for factory reset. It just reboots after ~8 secs of twrp 3.0.2-1 screen. Flashed with ODIN 3.09, official intern. ROM from sammobile into AP and drive. google. com /file/d /0Bx2R0nz6jh17bllKenctWnVsWkE/edit <-- this PIT file. Also tried this pit with different versions of twrp - 2.6, 3.0, 3.1 - still no change at all, no recovery booting
@desolate_sorrow
But you are not tried a multiple ROM with PIT.file.
You flashed only a Single File ROM under AP.
On the multiple ROM you can extract the CSC File and than you have the PIT.
Pit you can only flash with Odin and a ROM.

Perfect! Worked like a charm for me! While factory reset itself did nothing to improve the phone, the other stuff worked. I flashed my phone with the .tar.md5 file I extracted from the .zip file (from sammobile.com) using Odin 3.09 and my phone works again, thank you soo much!
I then rooted it again and flashed LineageOS (lineage-14.1-20170505-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip) onto it. It worked but during the first startup I got the error massage "Setup wizard keeps stopping". I then tried the newest (20170519) version and got the same error again. Any Idea how I might repair this?
About the pit. file: what exactly is the difference between this multiple pit file, a "usual" pit file and the .tar.md5 file I used?
On a multiple ROM file is all separately, Bootloader, Phone , Modem and CSC file.
The PIT file is the partion File of the RAM. You can extract this seperat from the CSC file.
To the issue the the gapps. Try an older Version or flash first the LOS and setup WiFi.
Than flash Opengapps with wipe cache and dalvik than normally works the wizard.

i got the same problem, that the recovery is not working, flashing a multiple rom with pit doesn't help (neither recovery nor rom is working).
but i guess the main problem is, that i got a REV02 phone and I only can find REV01 firmware (e.g. this one here: http://firmware.smartphonewp.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9195-full-firmware-4-files/)
are there any REV02 firmwares out there, which maybe can help? or does anyone (@bierma32, @albaCross or @desolate_sorrow) got any other ideas?

Thanks for replying. I tried flashing the LOS ROM and booting without gapps. According to TWRP it was successful. But when I booted for the first time I got similar error messages as before "[any app name] stopped running". Just with several names and all of them one after the other. Most of them appear to be named something like .android.com with different pre- and suffixes.
I then tried a more actual version of LOS with a similar result (same error message, similar names). After several times I decided to go back to my previously created TWRP backup (of the stock ROM with root access and several of the more annoying apps removed, also I had checked all partitions when backing up): I did a custom recovery and recovered my backup file and it seemed to work, TWRP said "success". On booting I again had the now so familiar error messages on the screen. Same happened when I flashed the stock ROM and recovered my backup after that, or at least tried. While TWRP still said it was a success it would not get past the screen where you choose your language.
After this I gave up and went back to the stock ROM and "rebuilt" my old phone. Maybe my phone just doesn't like anything but the stock ROM, so I should probably just stick to it.
But, just out of curiosity, what exactly is the problem with the phone if neither custom ROMs nor system backups work on it properly?

this was me just 2 days ago!
i was on lineage os 7.1.1 with TWRP and was stuck wanting to go back to stock.
i flashed many many roms and they all failed in ODIN.
Eventually i found a Netherlands ROM that did not fail on the REV02 check - might be worth a go!
my thread
good luck!
Hello,
I own s4 mini gt i 9192
i have rooted it with kingroot when it was in a stock firmware, then i have decided to install lolipop rom with twrp with superuser in it, everything gone smooth i have used my phone over 3 months, one morning i woke up, the battery level was 43 %, i have set it in the charger returned back after 30 minutes and have seen that it only got 3% energy, pulled out the battery and inserted back, charged the phone for a while in a turned off mode, and powered it one, strangely it started but showed some kind of upgrading panel on the main screen than immediately it turned off and started to restart again and again, i have booted it in recovery mode, wiped the cache restarted the phone, main screen turned on to enter my password but in a seconds it went black again, opened it up in twrp recovery mode, went into advanced settings and wiped something in there(i can not exactly remember the name of the thing i have wiped but there was an option to wipe it in twrp advanced settings, it warned me "that my phone would not start correctly but anyway i have done it") after it's wipe phone started with s4 mini logo, and restarted like this over and over again, in recovery mode it only shows twrp logo no options panel to access to internal or external sd card, neither wipe or factory just nothing but twrp logo. I have flashed the 4 files recovery pack, (pit, ap,csc and etc,) but same it is never helped, i have used multiple recoveries, and the original stock rom from sammobile, but it has nor cure, i am a newbie on tech and xda please if you could help me, i have tried to post it to xda forms but i did not find a button to post a thread, thanks.
