Ok, so my Galaxy S4 mini running Samsung software crashed couple of days ago: apps stopped working, decided to reboot, didn't seem to reboot, or accidentally used power off, turned it on, message 'Android update. Optimizing app x from y. This stopped halfway, and it went into a continuous reboot, showing the Samsung splash screen and the rebooting etc etc.
Some Googleing later I tried all kinds of stuff, but what basically seems to be the problem, is I don't have a recovery partition. When booting to recovery, it just show the blue 'Recovery booting...' screen, half a second or less of what seems to be Android bot loading something (too quick to see exactly), resulting with the Android bot lying on his side, red exclamation mark and 'No command'. And then it reboots.
I have tried all different kinds of flashing, with Samsung software from sammobile.com, I tried Cyanogenmod, but it all fails. Either loading the software fails or after loading a recovery image, it just will not boot to recovery.
Not sure what to do now, any hints are more than welcome..
Cheers,
