There hasn't been a stock Android firmware for the S4 mini. The posts you have been seeing are stock Samsung firmwares which are meant for reflashing in the event something goes wrong / you want to revert the phone back to its original state.
There is only a custom rom coming up for the S4 mini LTE version (Cyanogen)

Hello , XDA community.
I have a T - Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3. Here are the current stats on the device.
Model: SGH-T999
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband: T999xxxx
Kernel: 3.0.8- 1083013
Build: IMM76D.T999
Okay , so here's my problem. My device is rooted. Stock kernel I think. I don't remember doing anything special. Just a root.
Everyday my device gets to notification to update. Everytime I choose to update , the device just reboots and goes into CWM Recovery. I really want my device to just update to JellyBean without having to reset or wipe the device neither unrooting it. Is this possible ?
I hope I was clear enough with all the information.
You won't be able to do an Over The Air update with a custom recovery. Why do you have a custom recovery with a stock rom lol? There are a few roms out there with very stock everything. Or you can use odin to get there... searching will get you where you need. Also, you are about 2 months behind everyone else lol.

Yes I am aware , I only wanted my phone rooted for a few applications. Never cared much about ROMS. Do you care to point me to a fairly decent rom , something that is quick and lag free , yet not to crazy. I am only asking you because you seem to be very updated.
Oh I am, lol. I'll give you something very plain.

scroll down to "SGH-T999 OTA Updates (for use in recovery)" and get the latest "UVALJ4 - UVDLJA"

Way to modded, this guy was on stock with root... I gave him stock with root. If he wants to go crazy and install a rom with custom looks, and mods to it (that alot of people like and some dislike),That's on him to research, like in my resource thread.
How to update Android 4.3 on a Galaxy S3 Tmobile SGH-T999L?
Hi there,
I´m new to the forum and I´m just a phone user. I´ve been reading different forums and messages and I think this is the correct one to post my question. If I´m wrong, please recommend me the appropriate forum if you know it . I must add that English is not my mother tongue and that I´m not familiar with terminology like flashing, mod, stock...
Having said that, here you have some background
I bought a Galaxy S3 Tmobile SGH T999L in the US in Jul 2014. I came back to my country, Spain, and as Tmobile doesn´t operate here I had to take it to a shop to unlock it and use with another supplier. The phone works reasonably well, though doesn´t totally benefit from 4G because the range of mobile frequencies used in Spain is different from the one in the US, with only partial coincidence. So it was my mistake to buy it there asuming that it would be 100% compatible here. But that´s not the issue. The issue is this:
I have recently downloaded several apps that informed me that because the O.S. is old (Android 4.3) I can´t benefit from some functionalities of the apps. .So I think I need to update to a higher version.
I have checked Tmobile US webpage where somebody asked the same question in a forum and they told him: "you flash a custome ROM (which we cannot discuss here, go to XDA developers if you are interested". And that´s why I´m here, because I have no idea of what that means, although I guess it might be related to deleting the content of the original ROM - and I suppose the O.S. is stored there- and substituting it by a higher O.S.
Below please find all technical data that I could find about my model, if this helps:

multiview is a note 2 and international S3 feature. there are roms in the android development section that offer a ported version of this but it is not native to our US S3 variant. to the best of my knowledge, there is not a flashable mulitview package. if there was, it probably would not be stable. cheers

i dont think we'll see that update over here in the states. we might see 4.1.2 or 4.2 sometime this year, but it wont include mulitview.
i've heard good things about GalaxyMOD and there's Synergy rom too. both of those are based on stock with some mods and such. go check them out. i stick with aosp-based roms so i cant vouch for these one's stability. just know they're probably the top 2.

[Q] Uncertain about what mod to install.

Hi!
I just got a N7105 with 4.1.2, and I want to install CM10.1 on it.
But the ROMS i can find are for the 't0lte' device. My device was bought in Norway, so its probably a Nordic edition and it says it is a 't0ltexx' device. Is t0lte==t0ltex ? That is my main question.
I'm a bit confused by this, because I read that the 4.2.2 source code is supposedly out, but i then I also read that since the Note 2 and the S4 has different hardware (Exynos), it would not be possible to make a real CM based on 4.2.2 for the 7105 until Samsung publishes that code?
I see there are no stable version of CM for the 7105 yet. My question is then, should i wait until Samsung releases 4.2.2 for the 7105 and the mod developers to 'update' it? Or is the Nightly CM builds actually quite stable ?
This is my main device so I'd rather not take any chances!

t0lte is the code name for the GT-N7105!
Where does it say it's a "'t0ltexx"? If the phone identifies itself as a GT-N7105 you are fine to flash any t0lte firmware to it. Just DO NOT flash a GT-N7100 to it, because you'll be very sad then.
I advise you to read the cyanogenmod thread for details about how stable it is, what does/doesn't work. To all intents and purposes the information in that thread will apply to your GT-N7105 equally.

Humm sorry for late reply, I thought I answered you already, obviously I must have closed the window!
Both CPUZ and CPU Identifier says the device is 't0ltexx'. I've been reading some more on the development of CM for 7105 and I might as well wait. They have trouble making phone calls, which is one of the main purposes of my phone
I will probably just root it.

[Q] Which is the right PA rom to download?

I am going to download Paranoid android to my nexus 4. But i dont know which rom is the right one. In GOO.IM website there are two pages avaIable : PARANOIDANDROID. and PARANOIDANDROID_i9100. Also, I would like to know if among the roms available there is a stable one and which is the most stable.

LOL, you have a Nexus 4, right? Don't flash an i9100 ROM, that's for Galaxy SII, find one that says "mako". If you flash a ROM that isn't for your device, you will almost surely brick your phone.

Lovely thing about the nexus is that it virtually can't be bricked. Sure it will cause the phone to be stuck in a bootloop, or blackscreen after booting, but you can always get your phone in recovery or bootloader mode and reach it again.
Mind if I borrow the thread?
I have the verizion i535 gs3
flashed pa 2.5 have android 4.1.2 with a 3.0.46-cynogenmod kernel
now all I am getting is error after error like google playstore crashing, androidkeyboard aosp not working at all and .com.android.phone errors

Not everyone is looking at YOUR question. Have some respect/patience. There are threads guiding how to flash a different firmware version all over the net using Odin, in the hour you waited for a response, you could have easily used Google to find your solution.
Now you may have an issue about Knox, but since you are going from 4.4 to 4.3 (both a knox bootloader) i don't think there will be any issues.
If you have a custom recovery, just flash a 4.3 ROM
If not, use Odin to flash the 4.3 official firmware package.
With the information i provided you, you should easily be able to achieve what you need to do via Google search.

Are you sure the 4.4 to 4.3 thing works? I've been using 4.2 on my S4 (I9500) all along, and recently upgraded to 4.4. I strongly dislike KitKat and would ideally like to go back to 4.2, but if there's no way of doing so, 4.3 would be fine.

I have not tried it myself. It was just speculation since they are both knox bootloaders. The worst that will happen is Odin will say it failed OR your Knox will be tripped (which i see highly unlikely as knox detects changes from what "should" be there)

Thanks for the help. There were some people who said that it's impossible to go back to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2 and some that said you can't even go back to 4.3, but then others that said it is possible. I tried a number of different ROMs and they didn't boot at all. Then I tried Omega ROM v14.1 (Android 4.2.2), and that works brilliantly now.
Here's the thread for it from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232887. Only seems to be for Samsung Galaxy devices at this point.
It is an unbloated TW ROM (actually allows you to choose which Google and Samsung apps to install during a custom install process that begins when you flash it). It's faster than all my previous versions of Android, and obviously takes up less space.
Annoying that not everything works and that it took such a long time to get a successful installation, but at least I've found a ROM that has what I was looking for.

Yup but that is a custom ROM and with proper recovery you can go down to 4.2.2 but when we speak of Stock Samy Firmware and Odin it is imposible i have tested it. And Omega is great but still Custom hehehehe

Oh yeah, I became aware of that very early on during my search. All the ROMs I've been trying to get working have been custom and Omega is the only one that's actually booted.
I'm just glad I found something that looks like my old TW 4.2.2. Don't really mind whether or not it's custom. It is a shame that you can't go back to older official Samsung firmware once you've updated though. What do you think the reason for that is?
