Samsung s4 mini bricked/ stuck in download mode - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
After trying to root myS4 mini it got stuck in odin mode. No big deal, flash the stock rom and it works again but it's not.

I use odin 3.09, the right stock rom from sammobile and updated and tried different cables and usb ports (and even computers!)

probably you are trying to flash rom with old bootloader when you have a newer one
should say
Sv rev. check fail: fused : 2, Binary : 1
on phone, means you have rev 2 bootloader on phone but are trying to flash older rev 1

But how can I solve this problem?

[Q] Stuck with error message " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"

I tried to update my Samsung Galaxy Note II to 4.1.2 but I encountered an error on odin and now its stuck with the a message of " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
However Kies is not recognizing the phone when i plug it to the usb cable. but when i try odin it says its added. I cant get it to download mode.:crying:
How do I get this fixed?
I need your help badly...
what exactly you getting while rebooting to download mode?
If you getting msg to use recovery mode while rebooting to download mode, then this is also download mode, flash using odin
The same thing happened for me. It won't update no matter what you do. I tried reinstall kies and drivers but no luck.
And the strange part is if you like I did wait a couple of days the update won't be available anymore. It will start saying that you already have the latest firmware. I read somewhere that it was maybe caused because samsung found a bug in the firmware and then they quickly rool it back

Any help on the above post would be greatly appreciated.
I believe my issue is that I tried rooting it but had the "new" firmware on the device so the root process didn't work. Now, from what I can tell, the boot.img is fubar'd.
I can't charge the phone when it's off. Goes straight to the firmware upgrade failed screen. I try to ODIN factory image and it fails on write of boot.img.
Had the device a whole 2 hrs before it became a paper weight.:crying:
Can you go into download mode?

Happened to me once as well,i accidently lost the USB connection from the PC and all i did was go into the KIES thing and then click on emergency firmware recovery.It worked well for me but in your case you might consider going into download mode(vol down + home + power button) and then flashing a new stock firmware from samfirmware via ODIN

Hey,
I have Note 2 (GT-N7100) its primary market is Europe. i was using it and it suddenly stucks and after sometime it restarted with this error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. connect to kies select recovery mode and try again" I have just bought it and it happened . i Have tried to resolve it through odin mode because recovery mode is not opening. it is only going in download mode ... I downloaded it and used odin to put it on my phone. It says successful but after restart same error remains. kies isn't detecting my device. I'm an absolute noob when it comes to this stuff. In odin it says [Successful] but problem does not go. Help me resolving this problem.

Hey just download siyah kernel and flash it with odin by connecting your device and then you will easily get into download mode.

There is no Siyah kernel for Note 2. I hope you didn't say that on purpose...

Bootloop help

Hi, my sister's GT-I9195 got bricked suddenly some days after she OTA upgraded to 4.4.2. As I live in another city, she left the phone thinking it was dead for months.
I noticed it could enter download mode and left it charging then tried every alternative method I found through Odin by flashing different firmwares, and the unbricking guide for BL v1. All of them ended in bootloop, even if I flash a recovery tool like Philz Touch it does not enter the recovery I've just installed, it shows a blue message on top of screen and bootloop again.
I know it is bootloader ap swrev: 2, then I can only flash firmwares with v2 bootloader, but the one recommended is UBUBNE2, and this one has not get me out of bootloop to. The phone is still Knox 0x0 but I don't know if it may help in the question.
If anyone has a light over this I would be very grateful cause I'm stuck now.

N7505 | Odin Flash Stuck at Initialization

Hello Everyone,
I could really use your help !
I have a bricked N7505 that can literally only go into download mode.. I can't use recovery and I can't boot up the phone (Flashing White Screen).
I've tried to use Odin to flash multiple ROMs but every time I do so Odin is always stuck in Initialization and will not go past that ! I tried different ports, USB cables, Odin Revs and PCs.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue and is there a way around it?
I also tried flashing PIT files but it is also stuck at initialization !
