Hello everyone,
i'm new to android devices and english is not my native language, so i'll try to explain my problem as well as i can.
the GT-I9195 won't boot, if i turn it on it freezes in the booting screen (the white logo with the model number).
so my first try was to recover it to factory settings by pressing volume up+home button+power. unfortunately this results in a red text that tells me: "E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)", so the phone can't access the files that are needed for the recovery.
now i thought maybe kies could help me with this emergency firmware recovery but kies doesn't even recognize the phone, it stucks at trying to connect to the device.
ok at this point i knew this is getting complicated, i think the next step is trying to flash the right firmware by hand and restore the files needed for the recovery, buuut i don't know which firmware is the right one since i can't check the correct PDA/CSC/MODEM number.
now my question is how can i figure out which stock firmware is the right one, or maybe i can use some sort of costum firmware?
do i need to download any other files to make the phone work again? i ask that because when i open the odin tool there are buttons with bootloader/pda file/etc.
i hope that just somehow the files got corrupted and the intern flash memory ist still working and not damaged...
thanks in advance
