Hey all,

My S4 Mini LTE got a bit water damaged. Was booting up fine for a while, but now is not getting past the splash screen (using Ressurection remix v. 6.0), just keeps splashing on and on, and I can't seem to successfully connect to my Mac to fix it.

TWRP is acting weird: not letting me wipe caches ('unable to mount storage') not showing any internal storage (0mb), only showing SD card at 15mb, and some buttons like reboot option are just freezing. It seems to be able to format (with some errors), but then acts the same way after.

On my Mac Fastboot is not showing any devices.

Similarly, I can't get OS X to recognize the phone with android file transfer.

The only thing that seems to recognize it is connected is Jodin, but it gives an error when trying to obtain my PIT!

edit: Heimdall ALMOST seemed to let me flash the kernel and recovery, but then gave some error right at the end.

Might be new motherboard time?!?!

Please help!
