Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini: Won't Boot, Download Mode Can't Connect to PC (USB errors)

Mon, 27 May 2019 12:53:44 -0700

I recently updated my S4 mini LTE to 5 (Lollipop), after restarting shortly thereafter the stock and unrooted phone was in a boot loop, recovery mode showed error “failed to mount /data - (invalid argument)”. Tried to connect to USB to reflash ROM, but phone is not recognized (see errors below) using Linux and Windows on four PCs attempted (one desktop, four different USB cables). USB port was cleaned and solder/connections seem intact. Suggestions?

Errors:

usb 6-2: new full-speed USB device number 3 using ohci-pci

usb 6-2: device descriptor read/64, error -62

usb 6-2: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ohci-pci

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini: S4 mini won't turn on. Checked the simple stuff

Mon, 25 Mar 2019 07:34:08 -0700

I dropped my s4 for the 2nd time in 5 years. Back cover pops off battery went flying. Dropped from 3'.phone will not power up/charge at all. Replaced LCD screen, charge port even bought used working s4 and swapped my mother board (all simple plug and play) still nothing. It's a much harder fix. I looked at board under microscope it looks very clean. I need the data on the chip recovered it is almost a life or death situation. Seriously! I need to recover voice messages , recordings of conversations and texts. I had no back up so no simple chance of recovery. My bad. I need the best of the best to either fix my phone or recover all data including in order of importance text messages, phone conversation recordings , voice mails and pictures. I need someone highly skilled in circuit board troubleshooting and repair or recovery of data from memory on board. I cannot express the urgency and importance of this job. Anyone with the skill set in the USA that can help please contact me asap @ lytemup65@msn.com to discuss costs if this is possible.I have a deadline of July 1st but if can be done sooner the better. Located on West Coast any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini: My GT-I9190 has died and not turning on

Tue, 12 Mar 2019 07:20:13 -0700

Hello Internet

My S4 mini was working normally and suddenly it went off during charging and was not turning on again. Just to mention it was running android LineageOS 7.1 for more than 1 year without any major problems.

When I took it to the repair shop last Feb, they told me the problem is in the Power IC chip. I ordered one from Aliexpress.

When he replaced it it still did not turn on.

What would be the problem then ??

Hi,

Two days ago my Samsung galaxy s4 mini (GT-i9195) stop working. Nothing respond: no recovery mode, no download mode and it connect as qhsusb_dload on my computer.

I can't access recovery mode but I've access to download mode.

I've tried to flash the firmware with odin but that didn't work since it didn't go to recovery mode at the end.

I know little in informatics.

Do you have any idea?

And sorry for my english.
