[Q] S4 Mini I9190 3g firmware, help?

[A14n]

Hi there, I have a s4 galaxy mini GT-I9190 says baseband version: I9190ZSUAMG1. Build number: JDQ39.i9190ZSUAMG1. I believe it is a Hong Kong version? Sorry I'm a noob. I am looking for the United Kingdom firmware. Could anyone send me a link so I can download it? As I am not sure what I need.

Also is it fairly easy to do the update?

Regards,

Alan

Yes you currently have either the Hong Kong (TGY) firmware or Taiwans (BRI) region.

It seems that your model doesn't have the U.K Stock firmware as of yet.
Check out: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9190
I'm not sure if any other regions will work.

To note on if it's easy to update firmwares;
Some info on every step for rooting>recovery>flashing firmwares or custom roms steps

Updating/Restoring your firmware is relatively easy.

Go to the following thread to get started with rooting your device and flashing a custom recovery which is needed for flashing Firmwares and Roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398143

Will there ever be any UK firmware for the I9190 non LTE? If the (i9195) has the uk version already. I'm not even sure you can buy the i9190 in the UK? As i bought this one from Ecell off ebay, Hong Kong version.

Would the i9195 rom work on the i9190? probably a stupid question... Or is there any europeon roms out there that would be better than the HK version.

I'm encountering problems, on the google play store. There's a game called asphalt 7/8. When I go to it in the store it comes up. " your device isn't compatible with this version". Is it region locked or something? It thinks im in HK so I can't get it? It's really annoying. Is there anything I can do?

The i9195 ROM will NOT work on the i9190.

You could email the developers for info regarding asphalt. If it were region locked, it wouldn't show up on your play store at all.

Frustrating...i9190 in UK

Thats the thing it does not show up in my play store. Only way I see it is by clicking a link to the game on google. Then it says" your device isn't compatible with this version".

What can I do, this is so frustrating. I am in the UK and it thinks I'm in HK. Anyway around this?... Any other firmware out there with a region that can access everything on google play without restrictions?

I don't mind rooting my phone, have done it before on an older android.

Like i said before i'm not sure if other regions will work for your device.
GT-I9195 files will most definately not work since it uses another kernel iirc.
You could ask Arco regarding suitable regions for your device other than HK for European customers or you could install CWM on your device and try some E.U firmwares out yourself.
If none of them work or you get bootloops you can always hop back to the Hong Kong firmware.

Last but not least, if none of this works and you're still eager to play asphalt you should google for the APK & SD files (.obb) which ofcourse is illigal and i cannot link you to it (sorry have to stick to xda rules).

Thanks for your help, who is Acro do you have their contact details? I have successfully rooted the phone now. Got CWM installed.

I've tried the Market Enabler app to get asphalt 8. But that does not seem to work. Damn why didn't I get the S4 mini LTE.

Arco68 is a developer/user here at xda , he works on CyanogenMod 10.1-Nightlies for the GT-I9195. Just check out the general S4 Mini section.

Bricked? Help

Ok I tried flashing the phone using Odin, and it failed right at the end. Now phone is stuck saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

Well I tried that and Kies is not detecting anything :'(. Looks like I've broken it completely now.

Is that the Hong Kong firmware? Did you made a backup before you did anything? You should know that its a must if your inexperienced with this kind of stuff.
Have you tried renaming the zip file to update.zip and load it from cwm or if you have it, the backup file? maybe that will work.

Ok I managed to get the phone up and running again I reinstalled CWM. Then flashed a different firmware I9190UBUAMH1 and it passed this time. Seems way better a lot less bloatware more UK friendly.

Asphalt 8 still shows as incompatible, mystery as to why? I have seen videos on YouTube of it running on the S4 Mini. I have e-mailed gameloft, but no reply yet.

Good that everything worked out eventueel.
Just Google the asphalt 8 apk and sd data files and save yourself the trouble (and money lolz). It worked for me with most games incl. Asphalt 7 & 8.

please !!! Someone help me... I am so sad & tired
what should i do ?

i solved my problem !

I found out if your last good worked rom is "z" you should instal 'z' based rom & if it was 'x' you should install 'X' based rom.

For example mine was i9190xxuamf7 & i install i9190zsubml3 then my phone crashed even when i reinstalled i9190xxuamf7 because phone did not let me downgrade so i should upgrade it to a 'x' based rom so i install i9190xxubmj7 then my phone worked correctly and my problem solved

good luck
