So I have been recently playing around with my S4 Mini Value Edition/Plus (I9195I) trying to port CyanogenMod to it. Then when it was really late I read about the `adb reboot nvbackup` (DO NOT EVER RUN THIS COMMAND ON THE S4 MINI VE), and now the phone is basically stuck in a bootloop. I think the problem is identical with http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2657519 which points out that Samsung has simply messed up something there and now the FSG and BACKUP partitions are corrupt. According to the thread it is possible to recover if you get clean versions of the FSG and BACKUP partitions so I'm hoping someone with the S4 Mini Value Edition (i9195i) can help me by getting the clean versions from his device. It's not much to do and won't do anything to your device but will help me to continue (and actually have a working device again).
Can someone run these commands (either in a rooted shell (e.g. adb shell -> su -> change in the directory of your internal/external sdcard (not sure about the path), use TWRP way if in doubt), or from TWRP directly (Advanced -> Terminal Command -> then select e.g. your /external_sd or normal /sdcard) -> Select (bottom of the screen)), type the following 2 commands and send me the resulting files (e.g. by attaching it here to a post, or uploading it on AndroidFileHost or Dropbox, ... whatever):
This will place the partition contents of FSG and BACKUP in the current dir (file names fsg.img and backup.img) and you can upload them from your PC e.g. by inserting your external SD card in your PC or simply booting into Android and connecting your phone to the PC. Unlike the names suggest they don't seem to contain a backup but actually files that are necessary for booting which is now corrupted after I run this stupid command... Thanks in advance, I hope someone can help me with getting my phone back working. :)
PS: I'm pretty sure there is no separate forum for the VE/Plus variant, so I guess this is correct here.
