Hello everyone,

I have a samsung galaxy s4 mini (gt-i9195) with the UK H3G firmware (I9195XXUAMF5). The issue I'm having is the phone will not reset,

i have tried to reset it the phone via the settings interface, via the android system recovery and tried to reflash the exact same firmware on to it using odin 3.09 and 1.85.
I have the firmware downloaded as a .md5 file, i have followed instruction on XDA Devs to flash the file using odin but i have had no such luck. The phone has never been rooted and neither flashed with other firmwares.

When I try to access the Android System Recovery it shows the Android mascot in the background with a red exclamation mark and showing "No command" below it.
When I try to reset it it shows its processing teh reset but then shows the exact same android message and before "No command". When I have tried to wipe cache partition it shows "Error" and restarts the phone. This same message also shows when the phone is restarted via the Android System Recovery.

Another issue with the phone is that it always reverts back to a date in september (02/09/2013). Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank You in advance
