Samsung s4 mini (serrano3gxx) alternate display unable to boot custom OS/recovery - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello There! this is my first post so I hope this is the right thread to post this: My cellphone is a Galaxy S4 Mini (serrano3gxx). Recently I had to change the display because i broke the original one. After this, I was unable to boot twrp (I had no problem with clockwork tho), I even had to go back to stock firmware because my phone wouldn't boot with lineageOS.
It seems like having an alternate display makes the phone unable to boot any kind of custom OS/TWRP; It just reboots after trying to boot.
I really need help because stock firmware sucks big time and I love to test new OS.
So if anyone have any clue about this or some troubleshooting, I will be more than grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ouch, that's out of my knowledge range
Good luck....i know that feeling when you brick your phone. Makes you want to build a time machine and go back 30 minutes before you screwed up.
u can go to download mode right ? just flash back stock firmware..

[Q] Stock Kernel SM-T210

Hi
I have had a few problems over the past few days, all is good now after lots of reading and help from the forums members. the question i have is this:
I have a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and decided to change the Rom, but lost the boot animation (its now recovered) but the only kernel is this one RocketTab2.1_MOD_T210R_MK1_Kernel to get it back. If i want to set this back to original state i loose the boot animation and have to flash RocketTab2.1_MOD_T210R_MK1_Kernel.
Even if i restore with TWRP or CWM
Any Ideas

[Help] Need Debrick image for GT-i9195L

Hi dear friends and android lovers.
I have a S4 mini LTE model GT-i9195L, it is the latin american model. It was on 4.4.2 Kitkat android version. Phone was working fine, everything was ok, it was only rooted and it´s like a year and a half old. Suddenly it doesn´t not start anymore, I was using it when I put the phone on a table and never become to life again. Phone seemed to back to life because it had a bootloop, it stuck on the start screen where you see the phone model, and also it can enter to download mode, but in recovery mode it can´t do anything. I tried to flash TWRP and CWM through odin, but doesn´t work, and the last thing that I tried was to flash a stock ROM but it also revive the phone, and now it´s on a hard brick. I know it´s a hard brick, because I repaired a S3 with the same problem, I know how to do the process, but I can´t find a Debrick image for my cellphone. I don´t know even if I can use a debrick image from a gt-i9195 ´cause the "L" means it´s a little bit different phone, but if anyone can solve my doubt about this i will really appreciate.
Any help will be really helpfull.
Thanks in advice.

N5110 stuck in bootloop after battery change, need some help :(

I normally find a way around some android issues but sort of lost this time so iI need some help please!
Tablet is (was?) rooted and running cm12 plus twarp before the issue. It was running fine other than using a lot of battery.
So after replacing a battery my Note 8 N5110 started a boot loop and sometimes TWARP starts but does not work and it gets back to the boot loop!
I tried first re-load TWARP via odin and it passed but it was still in the bootloop so I tried load the stock firmware via Odin and I am getting failed with a
I have attached a picture of Twarp right before it fails, a picture of Odin with a failed attempt to load the stock firmware and the message I get on the Note 8 custom firmware screen.
Thanks in advance!!!
For the record I found a way out, the only thing that worked on my case was initialize the Tab using Samsung KIES.
Awesome software thanks Samsung, it saved my day and now....back to root and CM13 again
Hello glad you got it working. is it hard to replace the battery in these?
