[Q] Galaxy s4 mini Hard brick

[Patrick4]

Hi guys.
One of my friends recently gave me his bricked galaxy s4 mini. The phone doesn't turn on and when I plug it in to my laptop it comes up as Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode) . I've tried to fix it using qdload.pl and QPST but none of them worked.
Is there any way to restore the device without jtaging it ?? I have another working gs4 mini if that helps.

The same thing just happened to my working S4 mini. I put it on charge yesterday and it switched off after 5 minutes and never switched back on. I don't think there's any way to fix it as the EMMC is most likely dead :crying:

Same thing happenned to me. I installed TWRP and the phone just died. Now it turns on and everything but is stuck in bootloop. Main issue is, my recovery just shows TWRP symbol and no options to be able to flash a new rom or a new recovery.
Odin flashes stuff such as cwm, stock rom, but none of these seem to actually have any impact in my phone behaviour.

I think it's just dead yet I just don't want to accept it, I'm trying everything I can to make it work again.

PS: I hate myself the day I decided to install a trwp
