Did you mean 4.1.2 or were you running a custom ROM as there is no official 4.2.1 for the i747? How did you download and flash the 4.3 ROM?
Can you try booting into recovery and doing a hard wipe/reset from there? If this doesn't solve it, then you may need to restore the system image via custom recovery.

You updated to 4.3 by going over the air or via Odin?

The 623mb file sounds like the stock image for (official) OTA updates. Most likely it was downloaded and flashed as a zip via recovery. I'm not quite sure it works that way.
Salahddine, since you can get into download and recovery modes, your best option now may be to do a complete stock restore via custom recovery. See the thread below for instructions. You may need to first flash custom recovery although I'd guess you probably have custom recovery installed already.

Download the relevant file posted in the link to your phone's internal SD card or to an external micro SDHC card and place in your phone. Boot into recovery mode and flash the zip. Hopefully, this should fix it.

Sorry, my initial assessment was wrong. The 623MB zip you flashed was not the OTA file but the stock ROM which should have been flashed along with the modem and kernel zips at the same time. The reason for the initial failure was likely because you did not flash the kernel (and modem) zips. Glad to know it's working fine now.

You must flash thru recovery.
Here the installation steps, but first you must flash a custom recovery like this or other, its up to you.
Installation instructions
- Copy f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip to your SDCARD
- Reboot into CWM recovery
- Choose "Install zip from sdcard"
- Select f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip kernel and confirm installation.

Thank you so much So all i have to do is flash the recovery in Odin.. But since my s4 mini is rooted, do i have to install the S4Mini_RootKit_V2.zip?? i mean if I do, will it conflict with the SuperSU i have previously installed on my device? Or just overwrite it and work like a charm? Sorry I'm asking like too many questions, but since i'm new here i need some guidance
Btw, how do i know if my bootloader is unlocked? Before I buy this s4 mini i owned an Xperia go and to install a kernel i had to unlock the BL.. I don't know if the same thing applies for sammy devices, just asking:angel:

No, we have bootloader unlocked, so you don't need to unlock anything.
No, try with this recovery if you afraid to not doing some conflicts:
[i919x][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch
Download philz_touch_6.07.9-serranoltexx.tar.md5
boot into download mode
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

Really, i don't know for sure, BUT in my previous phone (S Advance I9070) i have some errors when i flashed different baseband deodexed.
Make a nandroid backup after you have custom recovery, and you can try it. If something going wrong, restore your backup and all will just like before.

Pie root, twrp fail, odin fail and Emergency Recovery Function

Hi, community
I tried to root my SM G-9600 but it all went wrong. First i went on twrp, it worked, but wiped my entire data. Then i tried make a factory reset o installation with odin and the latest firmware for my device, but it failed and showed this message labeled in red color: "sw rev check fail device 4 binary 3 error". then i found in this and other forums that it was because i used not the latest firmware. I downloaded the latest one, tried once to flash it via ODIN, and it failed again. Then when it restarted this message was shown : " An error has occurred while updating the devide software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. I donwloaded the smart switch, installed it, plugged my devide, but it shown that my device was "Unsupported". IDK what to do by now, so i need help from anyone on this forum. PLS
Greeting from Peru.

i had the same problem
(before processing to the next step try to redownload the firmware, i think i was using an old firmware and this is why i got this error)
i am assuming that you can not boot on twrp recovery
that's not a problem , you need to install twrp via odin and boot directly to it....
format the data and connect to your laptop (if it does recognize the phone but there is no storage dont worry, just reboot again to recovery (there is an option on reboot tab))
since you already tripped the knox just flash a custom rom, boot and set it up, and then try to flash stock image via odin as normal.
and sorry for my bad english.

Cant install a custom rom
Thanks. I made posible the TWRP installation, root, but i cannot install any custom rom i have. Can you suggest any one that will be suitable for my device (SM G-9600) ?, thats Samsung Galaxy S9 g9600 (Snapdragon SoC)

do you want to install a custom rom or revert back to stock?

For custom ROM I suggest Soldiers ROM here's the link to the thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g96xf-fd-n-stock-rom-soldier9312-1-0-t3771346 . You can more information about it on the thread. Been using the moment I rooted my phone.

Help. Going back to stock rom from custom rom

Help. How can I go back to stock rom if im using custom rom right now with magisk and custom kernel. Can someone teach me the process of what needs to remove before flashing the stock rom. Do I need to remove the custom kernel that I installed, magisk and twrp? Sorry for bad english. Help will be appreciated

You dont need remove nothing
Only download XiaoMiFlash, download a stock rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/ota-v9-6-4-0-odlmiff-t3823913 (Fastboot) and unzip the file, Off the device and restart in bootloader, connect to pc and flash the rom
That´s all

Best practices should be followed - always backup your settings, data, photos & documents, anything else you do NOT want to risk losing with the partitions being possibly wiped clean with a fresh stock installation - a) onto a formatted mSD card and/or b) onto a PC's stoarge/data drive(s) ... just in case.
Then, you can dirty flash stock rom without wiping data; or, for best results, wipe it for a clean, fresh install (then, restore save data once it is rebooted & running smoothly, settled down)
I guess, being lucky, running stock Pie roms, not downgrading back to Oreo stock roms as the tricky partition_A and partition_B can be confusing to newbies just starting out to learn the ADB & fastboot basics, etc. Good luck !
