Try mounting your internal SD to your computer through recovery. Tell me what it does and if there is anything on the disk (assuming it mounts)

-Shutdown running proceses
-Try to do it again diffrent USB port
-Take out battery and swith to download mode again
Still no response...
Iam using CWM 5.5.0.4

steps and tips to flash
Boss u do this things correctly step by step...........
1. U just uninstall whatever u installed for ur samsung mobile drivers like( kies,driver,etc...)
2. U download this file (http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/SAMSUNG-USB-Driver-for-Mobile-Phones-15150.shtml) and install on ur computer
3. U connect ur mobile to computer by using USB cable
4. Power off ur mobile and goto download mode(power off + volume down + menu key)
5. Ur mobile turns into download mode( yellow board with Android icon)
6. Open Odin 1.85 in your computer........when open the Odin 1.85 yellow icon enable on rightside top with this text(com14,com16,com17.....). If u not see the yellow icon in Odin 1.85 u just press the power button one time and then enter to the download mode
7. When u see the yellow icon OK ready to select the jw4 ROM files(PDA,PHONE,CSC,PIT(512 OR 513)......don't turn off application or phone........If u get any error on Odin 1.85...... u want to enter the download mode another time without disconnect the USB cable........when the installing complete ur mobile will be automatically reboot
8. When ur mobile reboot it automatically complete final installation process...... if u get red errors on stock recovery mode u just clear only wipe cache and dont clear wipe all data..........reboot system now:good:
Correctly u do this process step by step means it will workkkkkkkkkkk:victory:

Ok, iam the n00b here but i think you have it wrong... i dont own a i9000 model but a 9001 model so i have galaxy s Plus!
And a request from me 2 you if you say what i can do like download stock Firmware can u post a link to the correct one?? I dont want to make more mistakes! But thx anyway for you replys... iam trying with odin 1.85 but it is way diffrent then version 4.... i dont have a clue what to do and where to begin if it comes up to odin 1.85. With version 4 i followed the tutorial and got stuck as u c in earlier posts.

Ok... i figured out what i was doing wrong and i almost cant say it...
I was holding the wrong key combination!!!! (POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP + HOME) And i had to push VOLUME DOWN!! INSTEAD OF UP!
my phone was in RAMDUMP MODE not in download mode....
Sorry for my n00b action! but really much thx! to all who replyed!

Ok firstly the link you put up isnt found...
Use ODIN with PIT File
PIT File Incase you need it : LINK
Open Odin and select 512 .PIT, and CSC, PDA, MODEM-files. Check Re-partition and don't touch any other settings.
Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER.
Then just flash the phone with your ROM of choice.
Any issues let me know
Want to know

When you have all the files needed in ODIN, say JVU Rom click Start let it Run
Once complete you will see S logo on phone
Unplug Phone > Let it power up then Power Off > Again into Download mode
Then plug in Phone
Click Reset on ODIN then in PDA put in CF-Root Kernel File for JVU to be Rooted (CF-ROOT HERE)
Same again when you see S Logo on Phone unplug Cable
Close ODIN
What I do now is go into
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone copy over your ROM
Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
Install ROM from Zip Card
Reboot Phone when complete... DONE!
Hope this helps you or SEE HERE COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH

So you want stock 2.3.6 GB Rom am I right?
If so then do the following HERE except the Root if you wish
If you want to upgrade to a later firmware (For example JW6 - If it has only one .tar file),
Go to Download Mode again select the file under PDA.
DO NOT select the PIT, BOOTLOADER, PHONE, CSC files.
DO NOT check 'Re-Partition'.
Press the START button.
Hope this post helped you
I did same as u said but when every things done odin shown its passed but when its reboot its shows s animation n auto reboot again n again . i also wipe data n factory reset but same .

If flashing back to GB Rom from ICS you have to Re-Partition and use PIT File
Please follow the WALKTHROUGH thats why you are getting Reboots

Who says?
Which Rom are you trying to use and what are you coming from?
If flashing ODIN for JVU Rom :
Use ODIN with PIT File
PIT File Incase you need it : LINK
Open Odin and select 512 .PIT, and put in your files for : CSC, PDA, MODEM.
Check Re-partition and don't touch any other settings.
Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER.
Attach Phone
When you have all the files needed in ODIN, say JVU Rom for example as thats what we are using here
Click Start let it Run
Once complete you will see S logo on phone
Unplug Phone > Let it power up then Power Off > Again into Download mode
Then plug in Phone
Click Reset on ODIN then in PDA put in CF-Root Kernel File for JVU to be Rooted *File is included in ODIN Files*
Same again when you see S Logo on Phone unplug Phone Cable
Close ODIN
Let phone boot up ....
What I do now is go into
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Before doing this make sure you have what you need from the phone as it will ERASE everything!
Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings > Applications > Development > Check USB Debugging
Plug in Phone and copy over your chosen Custom ROM that you want
Reboot into Recovery : VOL UP + MENU + POWER
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
If not you choose these by using the left side keys on the phone and to apply changes click Menu key
WIPE : data/factory reset > cache partition
Scroll down and go to advanced
Dalvik Cache > Battery stats
Go Back
Install ZIP (ROM) from Zip Card
Reboot Phone when complete... DONE!
Hope this helps a lot of people if not just ask here if you are still having issues to save peole posting same questions again and again
I made up the first part, but after the phone went into recovery mode
The screen shows the following:

Helpppp
I have exactly the same problem. I had froyo 2.2 im new to this odin all these settings. Yesterday i was tried rooting my phone and I did. but after I mounted a courrupted rom from the recovery. and my android doesn't want to load. I followed the same instructions you just gave him. on these posts but now when i turn on the phone its the logo comes and nothing loads. Only Downloading VOL DWN + MENU + PW is working.
Are you talking to me devildrake? No, your problem is different and you need to flash the rom again too, not just dbdata lol. Do this.
Flash Gingerbread, in Odin (I always used JW4 but JVU will be fine) with 512 pit file and repartition checked. Untick reboot. Once its finished, unplug the USB cable and take the battery out. Put the battery back in and boot into download mode. Reset Odin. USB cable back in. Tick reboot again. Put dbdata.rfs in PDA. Flash.
Should boot into gingerbread. I've done this a LOT of times... Then you can go back to Odin and root.
If that doesn't work then I'd download a different version of GB, download new 512 pit, and download a new dbdata.rfs. Must be one of those corrupt.

[Stock][Guide][ROM] Last Egyptian Stock ROM

Hi Guys,
Some people faced some problems with flashing stock ROM with Odin, so here is a guide for a perfect flash.
Steps:
1) Download all files attached downwards.
2) Check that you have Samsung Kies on your PC.
3) Install Samsung USB drivers then restart your PC (in this step don't connect your phone to PC or you must restart your PC to install it.
4) Open recovery mode on your phone( volume up + home + power) and wipe data/cache via CWM (if you want it it will be attached downwards), then format your phone with rio's multi formatter to RFS (stock format type)
5) Open odin v.3.07
6) Open download mode on your phone ( volume down + home + power) and then connect it to your PC.
7) Put your ROM in PDA as SS attached downwards then tick PDA.
8) Make sure that Re-Partition is not ticked.
9) Press Start and wait few minutes.
10) If your Odin is stuck in connections, close Odin and Reinstall Samsung USB drivers.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You musn't divide the .md5 to let it flash.
And I'm not arguing that your method is good, but my method is esaier for noobs .

installing stock roms r toooo long fineshed with
why u descusing something we already used and known
stop this ...flashing stock roms not a game for pro or noobs !!!

only start screen

after flashing - i need to wipe - afgter this i get only the screen - "Samsung Galaxy SIII mini ,,, " and nothing else
i repeated flashin serveral times
Hi, a bit more info might help here, but anyway, if you are changing roms you need to factory reset & wipe dalvik & cache after flash generally, read op for rom, if u are trying something else, explain more pls

ok - i flashed the phone with CM12 (with odin) .
Flashing all ok. Then i go to twrp and wipe Dalviak and Cache.
After system boot only the " Samsung Screeen ..." appears.
After that i try a new flash with CM 11 but allways the same .. " Samsung Galaxy ...) . .. nohing else
are you sure you are not wiping system or data?
i thing i wiped both
Only wipe dalvik & cache after flash, not system and data
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Free mobile app
i do the descriptions on nova fusion with odin3 (cm12)::
...
6) Turn off your phone, and then use VOL- & HOME & POWER buttons combination.
7) If you see Warning screen, use VOL+ button.
8) You should see Android and some information.
9) Connect phone to computer and make sure it is detected by Odin (it will appear as COM device). If it doesn’t, try to use other USB port.
10) Use Start button. Wait until flash process will finish.
11) Your phone will restart, but probably won’t boot. Pull down your battery and use VOL+ & HOME & POWER buttons combo to boot into recovery.
-> all ok -> twrp 2.7.1.0
12) Click on Wipe, then use slider on the bottom to let process begin.
-> here iam not realy sure - i do dalviak and cache wipe
-> i get an error - E:Unable to mount "/system"
13) Click on Home icon, and then Reboot -> System.
Wait for boot. Now you should have ROM installed and ready to use!
-> nothing happens -i have onlythe start screen" Samsung ...."
I always flash roms from zip file with twrp & don't usually have any problems, maybe you should try that method instead
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes you are right , but dont have a chance to put the files on the phone,
because i have only two modus:
1) Modus twrp - how you can put file on the phone ?
2) and the downloading modus - and there i know only odin software
How you then put files on the device ?
Put the file on ext sd card, boot into twrp recovery, factory reset, then select install, install from ext sd, select zip file, wait till installed, then wipe dalvik & cache, reboot system, do full nandroid backup, first just incase so you can go back to previous rom & settings
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Free mobile app
yes i know - but when you say ..Put the file on ext sd card ...
how schould i do this ?
there is no adb, there is no system - only twrp modus or starting screen...
connect the phone to pc & open sd card or put sd card in a card reader & transfer then boot into twrp recovery& do wipes & installation as explained
Did you have any luck with this problem yet?
