[Q] Not able to load anything via Download Mode - ODIN on GT-I9192 Duos

[tapanp]

I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Duos - GT-I9192 phone.

Last week I was updating the phone via a OTA update and the phone suddenly stopped updating mid-way, restarting the phone got the phone to start but stuck on the initial Samsung logo and not beyond. Eventually after several retries, phone would only vibrate and nothing displayed on the screen. I can not even get into recovery mode.

I am now able to get into Download mode only with the following information displayed
ODIN MODE
Product Name: GT- I9192
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
Write Protection: Enable

Over the past one week I have tried the following with no success
1) Downloaded the official firmware for my device/region from Sammobile and tried loading via ODIN (3.10 and 3.07), after waiting for an hour (On Initialization status) or so ODIN terminates with a Fail message and a error mentioning " No Partition Detected/ PIT File missing

2) I have tried with a PIT file (attached) but it does not proceed beyond Initialization status on ODIN either

3) Tried the same thing with CWM file and Auto Root files for the GT-I9192 but does not move beyond Initialisation and/ or Setup Connection step in Odin

I have now tried on Multiple computers, with different cables and USB ports, even tried connecting to Kies to see if a firmware can be loaded that way, but no luck.

Would appreciate any suggestions / help on what else I must try or do differently. Please help.

That pit is for serranolte your device is serranodsd now search for the apropiate pit file.

First try installing latest firmware without pit

If don't work try with apropiate pit

still doesnt work

Thanks fburgos I found a PIT file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53003227&postcount=4 (attached)
and another one shared by SilviuMik at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620621&page=2

But Odin still stuck at Initialization for both (attached screenshot)

I have tried the Odin option with Nand Erase checked as well but Odin doesnt proceed beyond Initialization.

Of course the stock rom doesnt install either via odin - I9192DDUCNL1_I9192ODDCNH1_I9192DDUCNL1_HOME.tar.md5
Same issue - stuck at Initialization.. fails after a long time.. with missing PIT file message.

Any other ideas?

 

[fburgos]

Use both pit and firmware, in the same process

 

[tapanp]

tried that as well, same issue with ODIN, stuck at Initializing

it was a hardware issue, had to replace the board - cost Rs.4500/- that too did not last more than 6 months.
Dont waste you time and money on Samsung

I had the same problem and was even thinking bout a problem on the board, I tried everything I saw to nothing worked, so it really was this, my phone stopped working out of nowhere (after I step on it -- lmao)
only one thing to do, put away
