I need some advice here since I don't know what else to do in order to get a S4 GT-I9190 UD un-bricked. For some reason, unknow to me, I promise I do nothing weird or touch it, my phone was working fine and from one moment to another just got restarted and never power on again.

I've found several post talking about flash stock ROM using Odin, others says there are some kind of unbrick.img file somewhere (I can't find for this model atm) and so others but none will works for me since phone doesn't power on so my question is: is the phone really dead? There is nothing I can do in order to get it back? Why the PC recognizes it as QHSUSB_DLOAD and some places says there is a way to get phone back? Can any give me some help on this?

Thanks in advace

Hi everyone,

I have the exact same problem on a S4 mini, GT-I9195. A few days ago, it shut down while playing a video and refused to restart. I thought it was the battery, so a few hours later i changed the battery ... it booted again, but came back to life just for a minute, before shutting down again. Since that moment, nothing i tried succeded. When the phone is plugged to a PC, the computer sees a Qualcomm Device connected (it uses the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" v2.1.2.2 driver, to be precise), as reynierpm mentionned, but nothing else.
Do you think it could be worth a try to change the motherboard or another hardware piece ?

Thanks for reading !

i got the same issue with that S4 Mini
i found the tool "emmcdl" that it is supposed to dump the emmc into a file but when I try i got the error: Expecting SAHARA_END_TRANSFER but found: 0
i searched all of internet and maybe it could be the wrong programmer file (firehose) used within the tool
then i tried with other programmer files, like 8916, 8976, 8936... but i got always the same error

So:
- what is the right firehose programmer files for Samsung i9195 ??
- am i missing some other things related this "Sahara" ??
- is there another way to make a dump of emmc ??
