GT-I9195 flash works but nothing changed - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
hope you can help because I have no idea left.
Follwing situation. I have an GT-I9195 (LTE Version) on an older Cyanogenmod version (don't remember which one exactly) and got recently the "encryption unsuccessful" error during boot up. Okay, I know that's quite simple to fix, just reformat /data in recovery as ext4. But my old CWM recovery (6.0.5.1.) is not able to to change the file system and can not access /data at all (Error mounting /data).
Okay easy to fix - I thought - just update the recovery to TWRP and your good to go.
But doesn't matter what I tried, there is no way to change anything on this damn phone. And I tried a lot:
-tried to flash TWRP via Odin -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1.)
-tried to flash TWRP via Heimdall -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1.)
-tried factory reset and the whole story again --> no change at all
-tried 4 files stock firmware -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1. and on cyanogenmod with the encryption error)
-tried Re-Partition with separate PIT file with 4 files stock firmware -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1. and on cyanogenmod with the encryption error)
-tried Nand Erase and Re-Partition (4 files firmware) -->successful but no change on the phone (still on CWM 6.0.5.1. and on cyanogenmod with the encryption error)
So it seems I'm not able to flash anything. Tried different computer (with different OS), different cable, different Odin version (use 3.13 for the most trials but also an older one -->same results), so now I'm running out of ideas.
Might have something to do with "write protection enabled" or Bootloader version 2 or Kernel lock on 0x0...
This is whats written in the download mode:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
Knox KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

I9195 bootloop

Hi guys,
I was trying to find out how to restore my phone because it's dead after receiving and installing the last firmware (Netherland PHN 4.4.2 stock ROM-there was no Custom ROM) by OTA. It was working for few days but after that my phone began restarting and finally it stopped work at all. I wasnt able to turn in on, charge it or simply connect to pc (PC didnt recognized driver - qhsusb_dload) there was no respond so it was completely dead.
I found some solution with debrick image here on forum, but when i putted debrick.img (found some for I9195 android 4.4.2 on web) into sd card via win32diskmanager and inserted it into my phone i was able to get some respond by a phone.
Withou debrick image on sd cart i can't turn my phone on at all but with inserted debrick image i have a chance to turn it on but with some kind of boot loop.
Boot loop:
BOOT RECOVERY MODE (Green row)
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS.
COPY FROM T-FLASH.
BOOT RECOVERY..
WRITE 139008 sectors.
REBOOT
And it repeats all the time.
With SD Card PC can recognised samsung drivers for my phone but odin can't connect.
I dont know what i did once time but i get another message when odin was able to recognise it
BOOT RECOVERY MODE (Green row)
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS.
COPY FROM T-FLASH.
BOOT RECOVERY..
WRITE 139008 sectors.
FLASH WRITE FAILURE (Red row)
ddi: mmc_read failed
ODIN MODE (Red row)
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
But i'm not able to get into this anymore.
Last status is repetitive first bootloop and i cant get further.
I dont know what to do, to repair my phone or if its completely dead (mean eMMC fail).
Can someone help me with this issue or know some solution
Thanks in advance

Note II GT-N7102 16GB Dual-Sim Soft-bricked Help (& files) needed

Symptoms:
1. Boot loop. GT-N7102 logo comes and the device reboots.
2. Can go to download mode. Model no. GT-N7102 is visible
3. Recovery mode-Android shows up for ~4 seconds and then phone reboots and goes into a boot-loop.
Was running N7102ZCUEOJ1_JB43_deodex_gapps_root_noknox_lite_by _neopunk88 (since March'16), when the phone suddenly decided to go into a boot-loop.
The phone was rooted. I had installed LSpeed the previous night and had set it to run in recommended mode.
What I have tried so far
1. Odin 3.07, 3.09 etc
2. stock recovery flash fails
2. tried to flash N7102ZCUEOJ1_N7102CHNEOJ1_N7102ZCUEML1_HOME.tar.md5 (last stock), but fails
3. After I had exhausted possibilities, tried the following pit files, one at a time, first from here and then here and then here along with the stock ROM. All pit files seem legit and the correct ones, but I have no way to verify. I have tried first without and then with re-partition option selected in Odin. Flash fails.
4. All drivers, USB ports and cable okay as I can flash my wife's S6.
Phone still going into download mode.
Odin fail modes
1. without pit file, while flashing either recovery or stock rom, Odil fails just after sboot.bin at NAND write-start.
2. with pit file and re-partition checked, Odin gets stuck in "get pit file for mapping"
3. with pit file but re-partition unchecked, Odin fails is the same as (1)
4. I have tried setting Odin compatibility to XP but it does not result in anything different. I haven't needed xp compatibility setting this while flashing anything before.
Please could I have some guidance on what options I have left and the files, if I am not using the correct ones?
My belief is that if I can get to the download mode, there has to be way to un-brick the phone..fingers crossed.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Fixed phone by replacing the motherboard from here. Everything working fine now.
still waiting for a response..
@jam_27 It is possible that eMMC got corrupted. (it's a hardware fail)
If I were you I would try to flash TWRP. http://www.twrp.me - For N7100, as it doesn't matter for recovery.
READ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/help/nt7100-wont-boot-wont-charge-recover-t3504290
Thanks, TWRP recovery flash fails at NAND write start.

Cannot boot into TWRP

Hi
I am trying to install lineageos onto a used samsung galaxy s4 mini I recently bought, but I cannot boot TWRP (yes, I am using the correct recovery-boot button combination,
vol-up + home + power). I've tried searching, but nearly all posts with similar titles have been closed when someone tells OP the recovery-boot button combination, and the
others were various unique problems, as far as I can see.
I used the v3.0.3-0 TWRP from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420, extracted the file recovery.tar.md5 and used odin v 3.12.3 to flash it onto the
phone using the "AP" option. Odin displayed no errors, only "PASS" and other success messages. I had switched off auto-reboot, so I rebooted to recovery using vol-up + home + power but I only get the screen:
"Could not do a normal boot. ODIN MODE PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195I CURRENT BINARY: Custom SYSTEM STATUS: Custom REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0 QUALCOMM
SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB) AP SWREV: S1, T1, H1, A1, P1 SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE"
"Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
This is not download mode (which I normally reach with vol-down + home + power), but looks very similar aside from the
"Could not do a normal boot." message.
I've tried this several times, trying alternatives Odin 3.10.6 and TWRP v2.6.3.0.
I've not got to any recovery mode for this phone, TWRP or otherwise.
It is not bricked or in a bootloop. If I reboot I can get to android and use the phone.
Can anyone help me install and boot to TWRP please?
I don't know what to try next.
I bought this phone used so I do not know its installation/updates/rooting/flashing history, though it looks pretty vanilla.
Thanks
Crap, I have the exact same issue with TWRP versions higher than 3. Version 2.8.7.0-serranoveltexx does work, but I cannot install lineage (I tried 16 and newer). I simply get "Error executing updated binary in zip '...' and 'Error flashing zip'. And before that, for most versions of linage, it says "the package is for device: serranovelte,serranoveltexx; this device ."
If I tried a lineageversion from another developer, it says that the device is "serranovelte". So yeah, I'm stuck with that unfortunately. Any help would be much appreciated.

S4 Mini Bricked?

My sister's S4 mini suddenly died, I cannot open the smartphone nor go on Recovery or download mode.
I used a debrick.img found here on xda put on a externaSD and manage to enter the download mode, then i try to flash a stock rom but it got stuck during the process (i leave odin running for hours without any success).
After that, when i retry the process this is what i got on screen:
Code:
BOOT RECOVERY MODE
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS. .
COPY FROM T-FLASH. .
WRITE 139008 sectors. .
FLASH WRITE FAILURE
ddi : mmc_read failed
ODIN MODE

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2

I try to flash different .pit file found here on xda for the i9195 but if i try to flash (using Odin 3.13 or even odin 1.85) it says
Re-Partition operation failed or There is no PIT partition.
Any other idea i can try?
Maybe another .pit file for i9195 and a firmware that work with it?
Thanks to everyone

[SOLVED] Can't root A3 2017 Oreo : TWRP installation by Odin fails

Hi,
I've read lots of topics but can't find an answer to this : how to root a Samsung SM-320FL ? I don't intend to flash a custom ROM, but I can do it if this is the only way to get root. I really need to delete (not only disable) all the programs I don't use like Excel, Powerpoint, Word, etc. so I get more internal storage space. I have a sd card but I have to move apps manually from internal storage ro sd card after each update. Very boring...
I have samsung usb drivers installed, and tried several differents versions of Odin, but everytime I try to install the custom recovery twrp, Odin gives a "Fail!" message.
Here is what I have on screen when in download mode :
Odin mode
Download speed: fast
Product name: SM-A320FL
Current binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
FRP Lock: Off (I have checked the OEM unlock in settings)
Secure download : Enabled
CCIC: S2MU004
Warranty void: 0 (0x0000)
AP SWREV: B:5 K:3 S:3
After Odin fails, I get the extra (red) line :
Kernel rev. check fail. device:3, binary:1
The firmware informations are :
Oreo 8.0.0
A320FLXXS5CSK1
Kernel: Mon Nov 18 2019
I suppose the firmware version is too recent but can you please confirm ?
Any hope to root ? With or Without (preferably) flashing a new firmware ?
Thanks for any advice.

Hello guys,
I am new to the forum so I hope this is the best way to get the attention of anyone who could help users of the Samsung A3 (2017) running on Oreo 8.0.0
A320FLXXS5CSK1 like me and fabriceeudes.
I am a total newbie, so if anyone could even suggest an exhaustive step by step guide for rooting my phone (still running great but suffering from its limited internal memory capacity) without risking to brick it, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance and have a nice day!
Teanza

Is this the file you are trying to flash via Odin? You are adding the TWRP file to the AP option correct?
