Hi,

I'm struggling with an S4 mini that keeps trying to restart itself but won't get beyond boot loop.
A guy over at android forums has been really helpful, but we seem to have come to a dead end.

I can get into download and recovery mode, but not much else.
Odin successfully PASSed, but still no difference.
Kies can't/won't connect to the phone.
(haven't used these at same time: have read they 'don't get on')

Wiping data/cache results in:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by_name/cache

Any ideas please?
