Exists any method to get correct PDA, PHONE and CSC just with Downloadmode?

[Beutomaster]

The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini GT-I9195 of my girlfriends son was not responding. He removed the battery and after that it was unable to boot up again. (just vibrating once)

• official Samsung Firmware (I think Android 4.4.2, German DBT), never rooted or flashed with a custom rom.
• SSN: -I9195GSMH
• FCC ID: A3LGTI9195
• S/N: R38F30RYMLK
• Recovery is not working, only Downloadmode
• Kies says: "Initialization and Updating of Firmware is not supported for GT-I9195"

I would prefer to flash the same firmware with odin again without increasing the knox or flash count. Maybe there are some pictures left on the internal memory. It would be nice to not overwrite them.

Exists any method to get the correct PDA, PHONE and CSC Versions?

On sammobile.com are many possible canidates. Is it risky to try one by one, until everything works?

Any other suggestions?

Is it possible that the reason for the problem is a damaged eMMC?

Thanks for any help

First flash any ROM for your smartphone using Odin. Then is the best way is to install Samsung KIES for your smartphone and then choose upgrade your firmware from there where you will input your serial nummber of your phone and it will download the latest original firmware for this particulare smartphone...

With this method it will erase your smartphone to factory settings, so pictures will be gone...

Odin gets stuck at initialization

I tried to flash following firmwares from sammobile.com:

• I9195XXUBML4_I9195YBTBNA2_DBT
• I9195XXUCNE6_I9195OXACNE6_DBT
• I9195XXUCNJ4_I9195OXACNJ4_DBT
• I9195XXUCNK4_I9195QXZCOA1_DBT
• I9195XXUCNK4_I9195YBTCNL3_DBT
• I9195XXUCOA2_I9195OXACOA2_DBT
• I9195XXUCOE4_I9195OXACOE1_DBT

There are more listed, but only these German DBT Versions are available for download.

Odin always gets stuck at initialization.

Flashing environment:

• Odin 3.11.1 and 3.12.5 (also as Admin)
• short Cable (which never made problems)
• USB-Port at the back side
• two different Win10 Computers (one with Kies, one only with Samsung Phone Drivers)
• Kies processes stopped
• AVG Antivirus stopped

Any suggestions, what I could do else?

Try an older Odin. Version 3.07 or 3.09

Odin still gets stuck at Initialization

With Odin 3.07 and 3.09 i have the same problem.
Another idea? Google did not help me with this yet.

I don't know if from linux OS and with Heimdall could help you to succeed to flash your stock ROM...

I have same issue.

@Beutomaster: I have same issue like you, it happened this weekend.

Now I am stuck on "initialization" in Odin3.
I tried oficial firmware and TWRP recovery with same result.

Phone is not important for me, but data (SMS, contact, calendar) are.
If you or somebody else have any idea... Please, thank you in advance.

Data Recovery

@SirSlayerII: If the partition is not encrypted and you have not already overwritten it, there are some possibilities to recover the data. I'm not shure if TWRP has a function to dump the data-partition to a sd-card. Maybe ADB or another recovery could help. Otherwise you have to use JTAG. I'm not an expert with android, but for me it seems to be a tricky operation. If the data is very important to you a data recovery service may be the better option.

I had some problems building a heimdall-firmware-package out of the sammobile-packages. (Filenames not matching) Because the son of my girlfriend needed his device, i gave up flashing a new firmware and changed the board against one of a device with a broken display.
