Hey!
I've recently got a second hand Samsung S 4 Mini, and I'm trying to install custom ROMs on it. I managed to install an official seranoltexx Lineage OS ROM, as my phones reports to be a GT-I9195. But... it's not working. It boots, everything seems fine, but it cannot find any network other than 2G. That's odd. Original ROM worked fine. I though maybe I've got the wrong ROM so I tried serrano3gxx just in case: sideload fails, complaining that serrano3gxx ROMs are not supported (which was expected).
After a few attempt to fix the issue (manual network configuration, etc.), I checked the hardware inside, and... well. See for yourself:

}
Is that normal? Is it possible that the vendor mixed hardware from both GI9190 and GI9195? If so, how can I make things work? should I try to make a custom ROM supporting the actual hardware on my phone rather than the expected one? Any idea of how hard that would be? (I'm confident in my coding skills but I never built an android ROM before)
Thanks in advance!
My original I9195 also has the same 9190 numbers on the inside. So I assume thats normal.
It runs Arco's 11-rom without problems.
I have the same numbers.
guess its ok

Look at what is after GI9190. There is a slash, follow'd by "2" (which would imply 9192) and then a "5" (which would imply 9195). That's a speaker part which works for all 3 variants. What's really important for 9195 is to have a 4G antenna, as indicated correctly in upper left (view'd from back, opposite earphone socket).

Hey
I've had this phone for two weeks now, and i rooted it after a week.
Since i rooted it my camera has not been working correctly. It's showing up very strange colors. In indoor lighting almost everything is blue without flash. Outdoors it seems like its inverted, blue is showing up as brown, etc...
It's not the only problem with the camera. Sometimes pictures i take looks distorted with just lines in it. Also when i zoom enough, it looks distorted.
I dont know much about the ROM, im not very good at this stuff. I just rooted it with a file called "r1-primo-superboot" using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869667
I've tried searching a lot this problem on various forums, but looks like no one else has this problem with this device.
However, looks like other devices also had this problem, but the solution has always been resetting your settings or pushing the camera lens. Neither of those works on me. Also since i rooted it, the phones warranty is void so im currently not bringing it back to the store.
I have tried factory reset, camera data clearing, nothing helps.
Thanks for everyone who tries to solve this.

Thank you! Didn't realize that could be the problem. Installed myONEV and now it works perfectly.

Hey guys!
I recently purchased a 5x off of ebay for $200 and have been largely happy with it. Unfortunately, I've been noticing little annoyances, like not turning off the screen when I put my phone to my face. Not noticing when I pick up the phone, and not noticing when I try to rotate the screen into landscape mode.
I found some other users talking about re calibrating their accelerometers, but I think my issue may be a bit broader.
Testing with apps seems unresponsive on many levels. Using "sensor readout" app all sensors seem to have the same fate shown below. "Waiting for sensor to become available"

I don't know what that means
Edit: Newest n2g47w vendor image installed Still no sensors available
This vendor fits to Android 7.1.2 revision 12 and higher.
Still not working
Well, I just performed a "flash-all" with Google's most recent bullhead release
bullhead-n2g47w-factory-e4179e51
I am still getting "possible malfunction" in the app GPS status and toolbox.
I fixed it! I had installed the
H791-32GB-MDA89E TOT file, and repaired the sensors
Fine

False. I had to reflash the firmware
Hello, i wiped my phone(system,data,cache) and flashed aquarios rom, but after rebooting my screen was not working, system booted up and i can hear volume and vibrations. But i cant locate the problem... could it be in hardware? I tried to disassembly phone and clean contacts and make sure everything is good connected. Also tried to wipe everything and flash stock 7.1.1, then 6.0.1, and still the same problem. Anyone got any idea? Should i replace the screen? Thank you

Maybe your GPU died? it's part of the CPU chip, and we know that unfortunately this CPU (SD808) is prone to fail on this device, due to heating-cooling cycles that creates cracks in the CPU chip substratum (looks like LG miscalculated the coefficient of expansion). I am saying it based on that you were flashing your device (it produces lot of heat and CPU use), and then, after a reboot the issue showed up.
But it can be faulty screen, this would be very weird (since i am assuming that you did not drop it during the flashing process or something similar) but not impossible.
You cleaned the connectors on the motherboard with isopropilic alcohol? i had a similar issue on my N4, and it was the solution.
Anyway if i were you, probably i would get some chinese and cheap screen replacement, at least to discard the faulty screen theory.
Thank you very much, i wouldnt think it could be gpu problem, but it looks like it is. I am going to give a try replacement screen. Taking into account my usage of phone, it would explain the dead gpu.
Hey everyone. I've faced with a problem I can't cope by myself. Once upon a time I found out despite the renewal was turned off on my phone that my phone was updated to MIUI 11. I didn't like it so much. It had buggs, terrible design and devoured phones charge like a fish. I lost my nerve and made rollback. so, I lost everything that makes a phone different from a brick with lights. After that I decided to read about ) but It was too late. So, I lost all of system settings due to antirollback policies. What about backup? certainly I hadn't made it. I had one on google drive but It didn't give it to download.
I found some efs files and managed to recover system settings such as wifi, imei, modem, almost everything except the mobile network and the internet. the engineering menu shows the efs is unknown.
It means the efs I recovered my phone isn't suitable for my phone version or I need radio.img in addition to, doesn't it?
I'm going to try input SN number via a special utility into the phone. I don't expect anything from this step, but...
I suppose I need some with radio band settings or something from it. Or I need to find the new EFS files, don't I? I remember the file I'm restoring the phone was the ancient fossil of 2016.
how much does it cost to buy up-to-date EFS? Where could I find them? Where should I look for?

With stock MUIU, go into the settings/about/all specs/click multiple times on kernel version, you'll have the basic test for the phone and will be able to test main mic and top mic too
