How can I skip these files? Because in ODIN I am selecting just only one file.

then you didn't stick to my instructions in the first post

Hi, a little help here please

I want to return to Stock kk 4.4.2 from Cyanogenmod 11 on my gt-i9190, so I flash the .tar.md5 file with Odin 3.09 but I accidentally tick the "Nand Erase All" option, I don't know what got into me that I thought that it was the right option, and now I'm stock in Samsung logo (soft brick) I been reading for hours and getting nowhere but it looks like I need a PIT for my model, do you think I can use the gt-9195 PIT file for my model or where could I find the PIT file I need?

I can enter either Dowload mode and Recovery.

Thanks in advance.

I need some advice on restoring my s4mini lte back to stock.
My baseband says: I9195XXUAMF5

But there's no finland/international/nordic version of that firmware here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9195

H3G (united kingdom) I9195XXUAMF5 is the closest one I think, but is it safe to flash that one?

My stock firmware didn't have knox, so trying to avoid installing/tripping it.

Edit: Solved my issues. Refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/help/to-stock-firmware-choosing-problem-t2968295

So my girlfriend bricked her S4 mini, it's an LTE version, under the battery says it's GT-I9195, I can get into into download mode but recovery mode it will just reboot. Will downloading the files in the OP and flashing it via odin restore it then? I'm a complete samsung noob, I assume
odin is similar to flashtool (Xperia). So I just need to put these download files in the corresponding places?

Bootloader (BL) > BOOTLOADER... (skip this if you've bootloader v2)
PDA (AP) > CODE...
PHONE (CP) > MODEM...
CSC > CSC...
PIT > CSB...

Download mode says bootloader V1 is installed so upgrading that is a must?

Is it required for data to be wiped?

Wanted to clarify a few things before going ahead. cheers

Data usually needs to be wiped. You don't need to upgrade bootloader but flash the package of the bootloader too, it's the old one. Just follow the steps it should work. Good luck, kind regards.

Bricked i9195

Hi I somehow bricked my i9195 phone updating Clockwork recovery to install CM12. The recovery works fine but I cannot install any ROMs as I get the error "cannot mount /data" or similar.

So I though I would go back to stock Rom using Odin. Unfortunately the flash stops near the end on hidden.img and the phone then shows the triangle error install failed message.

Then I found this thread and though I would give it a try, however when I follow the steps I get an error message on the phone of "Fused 2 > Binary 1". I also tried flashing all the files except the bootloader incase that was the problem but it didn't help.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Seems to have something to do with my partitions.

to be on KitKat or not to be on KitKat

Hi All!

I have installed I9195XXUCNK1 (maybe the latest ROM) to my phone and after that install the KNOX started to count!
I only would like to know, can I go back to 4.2.2 with this 4.4.2 ROM without brick my phone?
Or at first, Do I have to folow this thread of #1 post to avoid the trouble? (flashing this file)

My final purpose is to unlock my sim, but I don't know yet, is it possible on flashed KitKat ROM by Odin? (I9195XXUCNK1)

I tried your downgrade thread and it didn't work
I tried flashing all of the files at once, it didn't work. I tried flashing the files one by one and the only fail on ODIN was caused by the PDA (AP) file. I am guessing it is because you can't just downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2; after that my phone bricked but I unbricked it by flashing the original 4.4.2 again .

Well, the error I got when trying to flash your files was:
Fused 2 > Binary 1 (or something like that).

Any help?
Thanks!
