Hi, I live in Egypt for a while and I bought last month a Mini. Everything was going just fine, I was using Odin many times to try new roms, and CWM Recovery to give a try to custom roms, without problems. Yesterday morning I flashed my device with the 2.3.6 rom that I found on this forum, apparently made for Latin America. Since that moment, my mobile is on boot loop, i can't do anything, I only can access downloading mode, I tried to reflash gingerbread 2.3.4, and2.3.5, it goes well, Odin gives me the PASS message, but still my mobile is forever rebooting at Samsung logo. I can't access recovery.
What to do? Is it bricked and do I have to send it to Samsung Center or is there hope to fix it by myself?
Thank you for any help...

Just remove the battery and stop your phone.
Put the battery in again.
Go to recovery mode by pressing Home + Power button at the same time.
In the reocevey choose wipe data/factory reset option.
Reboot your device after you are done.
You mobile will boot up fine.
Thank you for your answers but I wanna insists on a point: I can't access recovery at all, the phone show me the samsung logo for about half a second then restarts, and is looping in this state. No recovery, only downloading mode and RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode) & Emergency Dload Mode (ARM9 Mode). Nothing else is avalaible.
Helppp

hey man i've already had that problem..coz i flash 2.3.6 and encountered same problem but i manage to fix it.. you need to enter recovery mode... Note: you need to hold the home & power button and wait for the samsung logo to flash TWICE (2X),when the 2nd logo flash, just realease the buttons and your on recovery mode.just wipe/ data reset.. right now im using Ginger bread 2.3.6JKVT and its rooted also.
No, I can't access recovery sorry.
Connect your phone to your laptop.
Use ADB
Type this :
adb shell reboot recovery
That will take you to download mode,then you can flash rom again. It would be easier if you have a CWM installed

If you can't access recovery either falsh CWM recovery or Flash another firmware from Download mode. If you want to flash CWM recovery just follow the link below for Galaxy Mini and search CWM recovery.
I tried many times, since i have this problem, to flash and reflash, official roms, CWR, but nothing works, setup goes fine according to Odin, but still have the problem on my phone, still only downloading mode works, and still a flashing screen, just during the samsung logo.
No one can help me with my mobile???

did you wait for the samsumg logo to flash tiwce while holding the combo key? you see when im installing firmware using odin my laptop turn off coz i dont have a battery i thought my mini was brick because the process was not finish,so what happen i tried to acces recovery mode its only shows a computer icon & phone icon. but i manage to fix the problem i go to download mode and flash again another firmware. and everything goes fine..so how come that you cant access recorvery...i would suggest that you flash a firmware with 4 parts not a single package.
just try this www*mediafire*com/?br3r8fod5g3vud4 flash this firmware with Odin this will surely work please replace * with . brace my post count is not enough to post outside link
As long as you can enter download mode... you are safe. If you can... just flash it back with Odin.
Follow this step

i had a same problem too.
my phone cannot power on, and ONLY download mode only working.
i flashed it for so many time too, and it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
so any fix on this ?
To ybregeon and Tre3,
I had the exact same issue, only Download Mode and RAM Dump, but could not enter recovery mode. Tried flashing many ROMs, oneclick unbrick, Heimdall recovery etc. but still no solutions available, I tried many-many tricks with no luck. So I went to Samsung Service Center, and it turned out that the problem is in the mainboard. It took me one night before Samsung replaced the mainboard from my phone and it's been working well since. All free of charge.
I hope your warranty is still valid. Good luck.

reflash the XXKPI/XXKPK 2.3.4 then flash the cmw, xxkpi and xxkpk is the safest stock gb rom to install
Flash odin and go to recovery mode and wipe.
It should work.
Hi people!
I got bricked my galaxy mini gt-s5570, but not totaly (that means I can still use the download mode, and RAMDUMP ARM9 mode) but I can't power up the phone. That happened after I used ODIN for gt-s5570 and changed the Kernel (I forgot to make backup before), and device was working well with the new kernel, but after it I use the same step in ODIN to get back to the old one. So the result is, when I'm pushing the power key the screen starts to blinks and nothing more! But as I say download mode, and ARM9 mode are still working. Any solution for this?
just download the new firmware from samfirmware.com n flash it thru odin as u can go to download mode..n ur phone will be back to life again..
i accidently pressed thanks on ur first post
I can't, I don't have access to recovery mode, it doesn't work!

I mean even when I flash an official rom with Odin, I still have the same problem, I am trying this since three days now and noway...
i think you tried to upgrade firmware not boot whenever you upgrade firmware it cant be downgrade it can just be more upgraded when you downgrade your firmware it will not boot up it will just show a black screen so just reinstall the firmware again and do not try to downgrade it
[Q] Boot Loop with no recovery or download mode (R&D mode fixed, stuck in Boot Loop)
HI Guys
Need some help, I've been searching the previous post of similar problems but nobody seems to have my issue.
The story so far, I was updating my wife's GalaxyS i9000 Kernel with the latest version of CF-Root. (It was running stock version of Eclair 2.1) I couldn't get into download or recovery mode before the flash, so i used ADB to force it into Download mode then used Odin to update the PDA file. It all worked ok then i rebooted the phone and that is where the problem started. It just gets stuck rebooting to the GalaxyS GT-i9000 Screen over and over and over again. I've tried the 3 button recovery or download option and that doesn't work. So i am at a loss everyone. Any Ideas? I was thinking i might need to make up a usb jig.
Any help would be much appreciated as this is my wife's phone so you can understand the stress!
Sounds like you are the lucky owner of an i9000 with a faulty SBL which prevents you using the 3 button combo.
If you can't get download mode you'll need a jig to recover it, then look into this to fix the 3 button combo.
Great it worked! So 3 button combo works, Do you have any ideas on how to get the phone out of the boot loop that it is stuck on without wiping user data like sms and stuff of the phone?
You were running rooted 2.1 correct? What did you flash in Odin that broke it?
*Might* be as simple as reflashing the right CF-root for your firmware.
Thats were i went wrong, i tried to root from stock to CF-Root-XX_UNK_JVQ-v3.7-CWM3RFS so i've been trying to find a stock version to go back too.

Have you tried a USB jig?
It forces the device to boot into download mode and then you can flash with Odin
You could have a look in the wiki theres a point how to recover from a brick
If its not working tell me back
Hi guys, I come to you as I'm truly desperate about the actual state of my phone.
Earlier today, I decided to go back to a stock rom. When I tried to use Odin, I realized that my phone wasn't recognized by my PC hile in download mode. To avoid this problem, I used Mobile Odin and successfully flashed a stock rom (S5830BUKT2_S5830SFRKT1_S5830XWKT8_HOME.tar). Then I wanted to re-install a custom recovery mode, and I went with version 6.0.4.6 (6.0.4.6-cooper_fix.zip was the actual file). After I did that I couldn't boot in recovery mode anymore : the screen goes black, the logo reappears, then the screen goes white, then gets stuck at a blue screen. At this point I have to remove the battery and boot normally. So I was like 'nevermind I'll flash again the stock rom with Mobile Odin'. But the app requires for me to root the phone. Which I can't do without using the recovery mode. And I still can't use Odin (download mode not recognized). (I don't know why, but I don't have to press Volume Up to actually enter download mode, so I guess it's some kind of custom download mode).
So here I am, asking you to help me because every solution I can think of seems unapplicable to my case.
Thanks in advance !

cwm6.0.4.6 had blue screen issue. use cwm 6.0.4.7. In windows 8 I faced difficulty flashing stock. make sure you are using windows 7. and download mode is sometime pain in @ss. sometimes it simply restarts phone. Be patient.
