My phone s3 mini, has some problems with the usb port and i can't connect it to the pc anymore (i think water went inside) and i can only charge it at times after many resets, the battery shows 90% charge i reset it and then it goes all the way to 10-15%. I want to take it back to the store as it still has warranty, BUT I need to unroot it and set the original recovery. Is there any way to do that without connecting it to the pc? I tried using rom manager and changing the downloaded cwm to a stock image, didn't work. Tried flash_image, didn't work...
You'll find a cwm flashable file here, with stock recovery.
If you cant connect to odin in download mode the easiest way is probably to :
(first make sure that you can enter recovery from power off with "vol+/home/power")
1. Flash stock recovery in cwm.
2. Open SuperSU and do a full unroot in settings.
3. Go to recovery and make a factory reset.
make sure your phone is charged up to 70-90% ,and download the official stock firmware for your phone.
enter download mode
connect phone with usb to pc
open odin 3.07
does this work?
my phone didnt connect to the pc either,only with odin

He has Problems with USB, so he can not connect ...
how can he charge up his phone battery then?
Unroot it via SuperSU that'll work, and flash a stock recovery via CWM.

It doesn't charge properly either. It's a game of luck sometimes it charges sometimes not. If i get it to charge i usually let it connected to the power line until i go outside.
Thanks for the replies, I'll try it now and see how it goes.
LE: I did everything you mentioned and after the reset when restarting in odin mode the System Status is still "Custom", Custom binary download is NO and the current binary is Samsung Official. Does the Custom system status still void my warranty? If so any idea what should i do ?

I've gotten this before. I think it's caused by a failed flash in a rom, either interrupted or something else. The way I solved this was to pluck out the battery, put it back in, boot into download mode (power+home+vol down buttons). Then make sure u have Samsung usb driver installed and then run Odin as administrator. Continue to flash the stock firmware.

take it as second download mode
just connect it with Odin and flash the firmware
this normally happens when flashing process is interrupted
as u can see from my screen image that download from pc to mobile is disabled..

Also, the exclamation mark (!) between the computer and phone icons do not symbolise unable to connect to pc. It means something like "the phone needs to be connected to the computer to flash another firmware."

Bro, Don't worryYou can have it working. The exact scenario happened with me too. It happens when you enter in download mode & then due to some reason, you try to switch it on normally. In such case, it won't open either normally or in recovery, but only in Download Mode. So, remove battery, insert it again & press the Download Mode combo keys to enter download mode (Download mode works in such cases) & follow these guidelines:-
1. If odin is crashing, try another pc.
2. If odin is not recognizing your device even when correct drivers are installed, Then check the name of OPS file. For MINI it should be "Tass_v1.0.ops" (without quotes). Note that, device model number appears in Odin's Title Bar.
3. After that If Odin is hanging in btw (for ex: in setup connection), try another USB port.
5. If still problem persists, try another stock firmware.
6. If firmware update is successful and phone bootloops, remove battery, go to stock recovery mode & wipe data/factory reset. Then, wipe cache.
If you implement these correctly, it's 100% gauranteed that your phone should be normal.
Your problem should be solved by then.

Ok so I was on the Vodafone release of the JB update, the phone became real laggy etc so I decided to see if there were any more releases of the JB update, I found Australia's LT6 so I switched off my phone.
I connected to ODIN on my laptop and put the MD5 file into the PDA and clicked start, It failed, so I tried again from scratch and it failed once more, Since then I have tried flashing A copy of the old Gingerbread stock rom. Still no avail.
I can access Download mode and when I enter recovery mode I get firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in Kies.
Kies does not register the device yet my laptop makes the sound when I connect it.
What do I do to save my phone!
Info; My phone is not rooted or on a custom ROM All stock.

Flash the CM9 safe kernel in download mode using ODIN PC : here http://www.mediafire.com/?uhiges9y3zhs8oi and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1068597&d=1337343150
Then, you will be able to boot into recovery by pressing Vol Up + Home + Power.
Recovery will give you access to USB mode, put a stock ROM or Small Pristine XXLT5 on your SD Card (internal or external).
Do a factory reset, wipe /system/, flash the ROM, and you will be good to go ! :good:

Why do I need to use a CM9 Kernal?
I don't want to have root.
Where do I put the Kernal in Odin?
First of all you should tell as exactly what error you got when installing XXLT5 in PC Odin.
Maybe make a snapshot of PC Odin window with the error.
Not start more actions with other ways to install a Rom before it's clear what happened. If you do not know it might get even uglier.
Hello, I was trying to root and install the CM7 on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830B. The root and the cwm installation processes worked with no problems, but when I installed the CM7 it just turned off and won't turn on again.
I can't flash a stock ROM via Odin cuz the pc won't recognize the device. It won't turn on in normal mode, downloading mode nor bootloader.
What can I do to solve this issue, please?
Thank you!

Which ROM You have flashed? If You can´t go to Recovery or Download mode, try USB JIG, if not work with JIG, I am sorry Your phone is bricked.
If Your phone can´t nothing try put out battery, connect Your Ace with usb cable (without battery), open odin, hold 3 buttons for download mode (vol.down+home+power) and WITH holding buttons put back baterry. If in Odin You can see yelow oblong with COM, You can now try flash new stock rom.

I tried installing Cyanogenmod 7.2. And err, is there any other way of trying to restore the phone instead of the USB JIG, cuz I don't have any. :/
I've already tried to go on the download mode by the steps you just said (power button+vol up./down + home), but the phone seems to be dead, it won't turn on in normal mode, download mode nor recovery. As the phone won't start in the download mode, i'm not able to flash anything via ODIN.
Is there anything else I could try? What if I try to flash STOCK ROM via ADB to SD CARD using ANOTHER CELLPHONE?
Thanks for helping.
Ah, another important info is that I think the phone "died" with the USB Debugging deactivated, so I think that's why the ADB can't recognize the device, right?

Option 1: Put your phone into download mode, start up Odin in administration mode, plug the phone into your computer. If Odin still does not find it, try another usb port and see if Odin picks up the port. Also be sure you have the latest samsung driver package installed.
Option 2: If you have a factory rom or custom rom downloaded to your phone, you can boot into recovery and install the rom. But you would lose any data that you have not backed up, but it would get your phone out of soft brick status.

Sometimes mine acts up too. Try turning the phone off. While connected to the PC Boot into download mode then take the battery out and put it back in. Its weird af but it worked for me when my PC didnt recognize the phone.

Here is a guide to recover from hard brick that will fix your problem. May be a last resort, but it is a viable option of getting your phone back up and running.

I tried rooting my phone with Magisk then flashing the AP file via Odin in download mode then flashed twrp how ever when I boot I get the error message. Your phone isn't running official software and the phone just keeps rebooting so I think I have tripped Knox.
I can't seem to enter download mode or recovery so I am wondering how can I restore it back to stock rom and relock the bootloader? Or is my only option to RMA the phone?.
Yes by rooting your device you are actually tripping your KNOW built in fuse.
Now try to do few thing:
Download the stock firmware by using Frija-v1.4.2 software.
After that unzip the firmware file and use odin3 to flash the firmware you can read more here.
If you need TWRP use this link to install it.
after that use this link to install kernal which is having magisk inside it so you dont even need button combination.
you just need to flash kernal zip file in twrp or you can read official post here.
The problem is I can't enter download mode the phone just keeps endlessly rebooting so I might have to wait until the battery runs out then try entering download mode.
Update: Okay so I waited until the phones battery died and the phone ended its reboot loop then I charged the phone and tried entering download mode and I was successful in that then I reflashed the stock rom via odin and restored the phone back to factory settings now it's working again.
