My Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (i9195) went into coma "by itself" (when only charging), two weeks ago. Since then it is stuck at the white Samsung logo.
KIES can´t get any contact with the phone at all.
"Wipe Cache partition" or "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" only results in a lot of red text;
"E:Can´t mount /cache/recovery..."
"E:failed to mount/cache (Invalid argument)..."
"E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata..."
etc...
When I use Odin to install stock firmware it gets stuck on ”aboot.mbn”, and after a minute or two: ”FAIL”. After that the phone doesn´t boot to logo, just says that loading firmware failed, try again, until I load the "pit-file" and the phone boots to Samsung logo again...
Also tried this trick...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-root-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-lte-gt-i9195.2364980/
...but it got stuck at "recovery.img", and then "FAIL". but after that experiment (and a new pitfile-loading) the Recovery mode only shows "recovery booting" and "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" but no menu. I can still use the menu for downloading via Odin...
Any idea, anyone...? It could be the flash memory died, but even if the phone is nearly eight years old, it is not used much, an I can write at least some bytes to the flash memory.

Hi guys,
New to this phone, from a customer. Can get into CWM but it seems broken - can't get into most menus, just goes to the CWM logo, "no files found", does nothing on most options. Sometimes you can select something, often times not. Just a while back, I could wipe everything, but it still hangs at boot.
Download mode - is not recognized by ODIN or PC. Tried re-installing Samsung USB, 3 diff. cables, zadig does not see it in List All Devices.
Thing hangs on the bootscreen. Gets to the Android 4G Tmo- logo, then Samsung glow letters, just hangs / loops.
I have the factory ROM to install, I just need to see the damn thing :cyclops:
Tried diff pc, still... JTAG?
Hello everyone!
One of my friend has a Huawei Ascend Mate, and he gave it to me. The phone was never modified (root, rom etc.). Like a month ago a lot of files just dissappeared from the device, and the apps unexpectedly closed sometimes. I've tried a hard reset, but it didn't help. 5 days ago, it just turned off by itself. When I turn it on, it shows a huawei ascend logo then an android logo and it stucks.
I downloaded the original B221 update, copied the dload file to the root of an sdcard, I entered to the recovery mode but it's not working, just shows some items in the menu. The problem is that it stucks before the usb driver is loaded, so I can't do anything via adb (can't reboot to bootloader), and the original recovery menu is useless.
BTW: when the recovery mode loads, it says this: E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
So I can't format the cache partition.
Is there any solution?

i also have same problem.. i think we need to re-partition the internal memory
I have a bricked HAM too. It boots up to the Huawei logo. If i connect to PC (or to the charger) the Charge LED is not working, Windows does not recognize that a device is plugged into USB. I can only hold the power button a few seconds then the HAM turns off and turns on itself till the Huawei logo appears. Thats it. Nothing more happend.
Is there a chance for this device?
I tried doing a factory reset of my phone from the settings and it ended on a soft brick. The screen is white when i turn it on (no galaxy note 2 logo), i cannot access recovery mode, I can however start download mode. I tried to flash the firmware using odin but odin said the pit table is missing. I tried flashing the PIT but it failed (no error message, just fail). What can I do?
I suspect its an eMMC chip failure. Very few options, if at all.
Take it to service centre.
Sorry
Its been a long time since I booted my Galaxy Note-II (GT-N7100) as I use an iPhone and Nexus 5 as my daily drivers.
The phone wont boot past the Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 logo. I am able to access the recovery and download mode as well, and I have flashed the latest stock rom from Sammobile using the Odin. The flashing was successful. however the phone doesn't boot past the logo. Also the phone will not power up unless connected to a PC, it wont power up even when connected to a charger and will immediately shut down when the USB cable is disconnected from the PC. I flashed TWRP 3.0.2 Custom Recovery using the Odin and tried installing CM 13 based Rom through the mem card, however the log reads patching image unconditionally and also that "Failed to mount /system" (invalid argument). The phone when restarted into recovery can no longer mount the /system partition. However on flashing the stock rom using Odin, the /system partition is available for mounting. The recovery log also shows MTP enabled, but my PC doesn't detect the phone when in recovery, it only detects the phone in Download mode. I have the Samsung drivers installed. Since the phone is not being detected in recovery I am unable to use the adb.
I am out of ideas and request your suggestions other than approaching a service centre.
If I can somehow access the phone via ADB, I might be able to check the memory partitions for corrupt units, and possibly create a custom PIT file to repartition and suit the available memory units.
Try this: open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Connect phone and flash stock ROM. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery for a few seconds, replace battery, immediately boot the phone into recovery mode, factory wipe, and boot the phone.
Could the battery be defective or dead?

Thanks a lot.
Tried your method and finally the phone has booted into the OS.
Had to replace the battery with another spare one in the process.
However the phone is still not being detected by the PC unless it's in Fastboot/ Download mode.
When connected to a computer, does anything appear on the phone screen? If you're using Windows, nothing new appears in device manager?
sorry to jump in this thread but i am having a similar problem
my completely stock tmobile note 2 is stuck on the samsung logo
i have never flashed it or done anything to it
my phone was working really slow, freezing up and battery draining fast
so i did a hard reset and it fixed the problem of running slow and freezing up for a week or so but battery drained fast
so i bought a replacement battery from ebay and installed it and the next day i restarted my phone and it froze on the samsung logo
i tried turning it off and on and still the same thing
any suggestions or should i start a new thread?
fyi i am a noob
Hi
I have borrowed this one with unknown condition, maybe someone played with it on JTAG to get back data....
When arrived, it was a HARD BRICK, no sign of light at all, only qualcom flash loader recognition (9008).
No vibrating, no poweron, no battery charging, , only a black screen.
I have played a lot with it, resurrected with an SD card, reflashed with ODIN....
Now the phone can poweron alone (without a boot-sd), but bootlooping in ~10sec, only samsung logo and one vibration / period.
On recovery it says "nincs parancs." (no command) and immediately reboots again into normal bootloop.
I have re-flashed the recovery as well to stock one, but nothing changed.
I have successfully get into recovery by key combination on the right second (bypassing the no command), but ONLY ONCE, and i am unable to do again.
When i was in recovery, reformatted cache/data, reboot, but no change.
Now in fastboot mode it shows read only mode.
If i am right, i can re-flash it with SD card again, but WHAT TO DO to get out from bootloop or to get a working recovery or at least TWRP?
Unfortunately the full build number is unknown.
Any suggestion?
Somebody have any ROM image with ALL of the partitions inside for 9195 hungary version?
