S4 mini I9195 revertback to stock problem. - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi, i just sold this phone and they want it back to stock. It had cyanogenmod on it, but i cant remember which one probably cm11. so i went to odin 3.09 and get a UK (BTU) rom from samsung-updates.com. the phone was stuck at the boot logo. okay. so i had another rom and i was try to use odin3.10.6 with no luck. at this point i tried to Re-Partition the phone because i thought CM using a diferent file system. it is now stuck at the samsung galaxy logo. and odin3 gives an error if i try to flash these 2 roms again. (i downloading other ones but it is free slow speed and 1 at a time)
I get 'Secure Check Fail: aboot' so i think the baseband version is not good. if i get a non uk version is it still be the same and english language? or will it have another network's boot logo or anything?
i still can get to the download mode, i just need to know as long as that works this can be saved. if not then i wont waste my time.

i managed to install latest twrp and then flash lineage os. i had some error messages, but the rom boots up and seems like it is working fine. how can i find out which stock rom i need to get it boot up after odin3 flashed?

so after that i flashed a stock rom with odin, but then i had no wifi. i need a good stock rom for Uk model.
edit: okay i flashed another one and now it is all up and running, probably the modem version wasn't match. so thanks for the help! (for myself )
Maybe it will help for someone in the future, i hope. greetings from the past!

tmobile galaxy s6 edge g925t, missing OS. HELP!!!

I recently rooted my galaxy s6 edge g925t and was successful, but i couldn't stop there, i wanted to upgrade to android 6.0. i spent hours searching for a custom ROM/firmware and found one that i thought would work. I installed that custom OS through TWRP installer. After i finished the installation i tried to restart the phone but it just stayed at the "Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE" boot logo and didn't play the boot animation. I searched online for ways of unbricking the phone and i eventually got to the recovery mode and tried to wipe the internal storage. then i restarted the phone and was back to the same Samsung logo. I again tried to get back to the recovery mode, but this time i did an advanced wipe and i ended up deleting the OS. if tried installing the stock ROM/firmware via Odin but can't get it to work. Is there anything i can still do? Can anyone please help me?
What happens when you try and flash the Odin image? The Rom you flashed, did that flash a new bootloader or firmware? If so it might have messed up the partitions on the phone.

The phone doesn't accept that either.
What custom ROM did you install? And what stock ROM did you try to ODIN flash?
Also, what is happening when you do that. I gathered out didn't work, but what error comes up?

TyrannusRomV23.1.zip is the custom rom, and SM-G925T_1_20150327095252_d1ygbqk7km (1) is the name of the stock i tried.
also the error that ODIN shows is that it FAILed and the phone shows in red letters in the top corner "check fail. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
i dont know the entire message from the phone b/c my screen is blacked out in the top corner, but thats what i can see.

Yeah, I don't think TyrannusRom is runnable on a G925T :/
Flashing stock with ODIN should do the trick. It's hard to tell where that stock file is from, so I would try to download the latest directly from SamMobile here (this is specifically for the G925T). If it's still not working, copy/paste the error ODIN is giving you here if you can.
Also, this thread seems to suggest you might be able to just re-flash the bootloader.
THANK YOU so much!!! that worked, iv looke on sammobile before but couldn't get anything to work, thanks so much

Stuck on Samsung logo

Hey
I bought Samsung Note (2014) 10.1" with a issue (stuck on boot screen). When I get to Odin I can install firmware and pit, but I can't get to functions to restore tablet (power button + volume up - it didn't work for me). I have been using Odin v3.09 , N8010XXSDQA1_N8010XEODNG1_HOME.tar.md5 firmware and note10.pit . I will post some pictures. What else can I try?
Well have you tried flashing TWRP via Odin? Maybe tick reboot, then reflash the firmware and see what happens? I assume you can reboot to normal stock? Or it can only go to download mode and nowhere else?

I tried everything except using heat gun on emmc memory which might kill motherboard and it can go to download mode only nowhere else.
Have you tried to restore without pit?
Other suggestion is trying a different firmware. I'm not sure what region the tablet is but it mean trying to flash the US (XAR) or a European one.
Other things to look at is if it is an LTE version or WiFi.
I think you flashed the wrong firmware. N8010 is the older version of the tablet, not the 2014 version. Double check the rom version, it should be --p 600, 601, or 605. Depending on the model. Flash via twrp. It may take a few minutes to start up.
W.
Thanks for all of suggestions, but the tablet has been sent to phone service, in which firmware will be updated through the box and if it doesn't work out new chip will be soldered.

Weird n7100 bootloop

Hi i was helping my friend to update his firmware. after doing so the phone is now stuck in a weird bootloop. i had seen my fair share of bootloops but this seems weirder than others. the n7100 logo would loop very quickly (sorta like flash) and keeps doing so. can't enter recovery mode at all, only download mode. plug it to odin and whatever i can throw at it i just got nand write start fail, be it twrp, multiple versions of stock rom. im at the end of my wits, so what should i try next? thank you for any input
What is the Odin error when trying to flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com? Tried different USB cables and USB ports?
I kinda have/had the same problem.
N7100 logo would bootloop quiet fast (doesn't get to the point where it should load the rom).
Can't enter recovery bc of that.
Only thing that works is download mode.
After trying to flash newest stock rom (4.4.2) it failed once (I think my cable gets too old...)
Next try it worked without a problem.
Problem persists.
Next step was flashing an older repair firmware (4.1.2) but it failed (I think bc of the 4.4.2 bootloader? IDK)
Then I tried to flash the newest stock again but with the pit file. Flashed without a problem but the problem was still there.
Last step I made was to flash the newest stock with the pit file and nand erase + update bootloader.
Tried it 2 times but it failed.
Now I'm stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Download mode got a red message also: "RPMB: INVALID RPMB DATA"
I don't know what to do now. Please help.
PS: It was a "new" motherboard from aliexpess, it had a chinese version of the stock 4.1.2 if I remember right and was already rooted when I installed it. I wanted to flash the newest 4.4.2 for the new modem and stuff and then upgrade to lineage. :/

basically, you need to download samsung kies3 and let it return to stock firmware.
make sure you have a working usb cable as I had given up on un bricking my note 4 but it worked with a new cable.

Phone Update on odin failed

I bought a Samsung S9 from a friend, it doesn't get software update. It has been stuck on the old version of Feb/March last year so I decided to update/flash it using Odin. When I checked phone details it shows SM-G960F so I downloaded firmware for my country based on that. I tried to upload the firmware using odin, it failed the first time and wont come on. I tried again, it got stuck on system.img. Its been like that. I noticed that when the phone is in download mode, it shows SM-G960N instead of SM-G960F (Does this have any effect on the firmware not running? Did I download the wrong firmware, should I download based on SM-G960N, mind its characters appear in probably Vietnamese/Chinese i am not sure which). Now I am stuck and dont know how to get the phone back on. Please please someone help me get my phone back on. Any suggestion that will help, will be appreciated.

You've probably figured it out by now, but it's because your phone is a G960N that was probably rooted and/or is running a custom ROM made for the G960F. The language is Korean and flashing a G960N firmware should fix your problem, although, since Odin failed, chances are no changes were made and pressing the power+vol_down should reboot your phone into the old software. I'm in a similar situation now so if you had dug deeper and had found any way to actually transform it into a G960F (should be possible right? I mean, they have the same hardware right??), please let me know thanks!
