Dead s4mini - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My s4Mini is Dead.
If i want to boot my phone it does nothing.
So i tried to boot it via a SD-card.

[HARDBRICK?] Galaxy S4 Mini Duos suddenly dead

Hello
My galaxy (i9192) just went dead. No custom roms or anything. It was working ok until battery discharged. Now it has 2,8V and wont charge.
Ive tried debrick images found here but none of them worked. Only "life sign" form this phone is QHSUSB device that showed up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 after drivers installation.
Do you have any suggestions what else i can try?
Thanks in advance
Maybe your emmc get corrupted
Just like that?
BTW: if ive got debrick img flashed on the sd card and battery is discharged how should i turn it on? Using wall charger or connect it to pc? Should i press some buttons combination or it should boot itself automatically?
If emmc is corrupted and phone finds boot on sd card shouldn't it boot anyway?

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9192) Bricked

Hey Guys,
I've a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9192). It stopped working mid-day all of the sudden while it wasn't in use. The phone is just showing a black screen, & pressing the power button, it doesn't respond. The phone also doesn't respond when I try entering the download or recovery modes. When I connected the phone to the PC, it was identified as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", & looking up on the internet for what does this mean, I found that it means that phone is bricked.
I never rooted this phone, & I tried to write two I9192 debrick images (One at a time of course ) on an external SD card using Win32DiskImager-0.9.5. However, turning on the phone with any of the two debrick images, the phone shows the following lines exactly, & no further progress takes place:
BOOT RECOVERY MODE
CHECK BOOT PARTITONS..
COPY FROM T-FLAH..
BOOT RECOVERY..
WRITE 139008 sectors..
I couldn't find a solution for this issue on the internet. So, any idea what is happening here & how can I solve this problem ??
Many thanks in advance

My phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Duos GT-I9192) is with the same problem, since 2016 October!!. But I know what happened. It was a virus!: In a day, when I turned on my wifi, an unexpected download started . . . , after about 5 seconds, several app's began stopping uninterruptedly, followed by message asking "OK". So, I forced the phone to turn off; waited some time, but when I pressed the power button, nothing happened and it remains like this until now! I have tried all of the things possible by pressing combination of buttons, but it is really hard bricked!!. I just hadn't courage to use any kind of (de/un)brick image yet, like you. I'm continuously researching in the internet and trying to learn how to solve this problem in a secure way. I have found something relating to unbrick qualcomm mobiles using QFIL, but we have to use other kind of archives other than thouse from GT-I9192 original rom, which made me with doubt if it will function.
If somebody understand better than us about it, please help us!
Thanks.

Qfil doesn't work with Samsung as far as I know. Even if it did you would have to have the files for your exact phone model.
But I'm going to continue researching. . .
Thank you.
hey villaovb. did you find anything or this problem?

PC wont recognize phone in boot recovery mode (gt-i9195)

So I got Galaxy S4 mini that experienced common problem. Some eMMC cells died and phone won't boot up. I got Odin, USB drivers, stock rom/firmware and debrick.img. I flashed debrick.img on SD Card and phone booted into recovery mode outputting:
BOOT RECOVERY MODE
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS..
COPY FROM T-FLASH..
BOOT RECOVERY..
WRITE 139008 sectors..
But when I connected phone to a PC, PC doesn't recognize the phone at all. Odin shows nothing and device manager doesn't detect anything. Has anyone experienced this problem or know how to fix it?

Time line of what happened so far
2018
phone died after random update of android OS , though it was his time as i own it for + 5 years
2019
got a new phone and got curious about what happened so i started looking the internet , ended in this website almost everytime.
i left the phone chargin while i searched for answers, i connected the phone to my pc, try the botton combination to get to download mode and recovery(not succesfull) , removed the battery, try to turn it on without baterry to drain all power of phone and restart volatile memory (multiple times) and put it again without gettin anywhere try to connected to a netbook that was freshly formated and with fresh windows 10 intall, odin in that pc recognise the phone just as Qloader-9008 com (x) continued searching and from nowhere the phone started vibrating and then stoped and the chargin icon apeared on the screen i left it to charge as that was the first time i was 100% sure it was chargin after 10+ hours chargin while i was sleeping i try the botton to enter download mode and it worked, try the stock rom from my model, country and service provider and the phone got stuck on a boot loop showing the movistar intro then the s4 mini intro and vibratin each time it was to late so i stupidly turn it of, next morning i got back to try make it work but now it was totally unresponsive odin didn recognize the phone, didnt enter download mode or recovery , no boot loop, nothing is only make a sound in my pc when i try the botton combinations but nothing more just a sound of something connecting and disconnectingx2 got frustrated and left it there collecting dust, also the usb jig dont work
2020
4 months ago i got back to try to make the s4 mini work so i searched the internet again and found the sd card way i did try it and now im here with the phone in a loop of rebootin an starting the same boot recovery mode, it do not say "Flash write failure Ddi : mmc_read dailed" as i did read on other threads in this forum so as i stated before
i put an SDXC UHS-I class 10 A1 with a debrick.img and the phone enter boot recovery mode and show this
__________________________

then reboot on a loop and the same msg this for more than 15 mins then it stopped until i reconnect it to the pc or the charger or try to turn it on using the power botton, when the phone stop rebooting the normal convinations of keys make it vibrate for 3-4 times but nothing shows in the screen, the boot dont fail or at least it do not say it, it just stop trying to reboot,
what can i do to at least get it to a point that kies or smart switch can take the controll or be able to use odin, the battery is at 3.78volts
If you can get your S4mini into Download mode, you should try Odin again. But this time, under the Options tab, UNcheck the box for Auto Reboot as well as the box for F. Reset Time. And then when Odin gives the green success indication, immediately disconnect USB and remove battery. Re-insert the battery after a minute or so. Another suggestion; flash the Movistar firmware only if you intend to use their carrier service. Otherwise, it would be better to use firmware not specific to any one carrier. Be sure the 3rd letter of the baseband code is "U" (for "unspecified" carrier). Good luck, hopefully your troubles are not due to faulty hardware.
