Can someone please help me? I installed CWM and now my phone always enters in it after powering up. Some kind of loop.I restart the phone...enters CMW...on and on.
I found a tutorial but it's for Asus transformer prime,and my phone won't cold boot. I tried Volume down + power,and i didn't find any tutorial how to cold boot GT-I8190.

im trying to flash stockkernel....but the kernel is in tar file...so i search around and found a way to make a flashable zip......however the zip file is pre-made for s3......silly me...i inserted the boot.img from s3 mini and put in the zip file......walla.....installed succesfully but never reboot.....a lesson learn today......hope its not a very expensive one.....
i follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38579283
You should have just flashed it through odin instead, or restored boot.img from a previous made cwm backup by choosing the advanced restore option.
S3 have a different partition layout. Not even built on the same board..
Sorry to say but you should have read though the forums thoroughly before attempting this. And don't be afraid to ask mundane questions even though it's advised not to ask in development threads. I read the guides at least three times over before taking action, just to be on the safe side.

Is this bricked?

Hey there, first of all thanks for taking the time to even click the post.
My partner's younger brother decided to root his Galaxy S3 Mini without looking up the correct instructions for this particular phone. Unforunately he accidentally (to an extent) used the wrong rom, using a Galaxy S3 root instead of the correct one for the Mini. He realised his mistake when the process wasn't working correctly on ODIN and quickly removed the wire (his second mistake).
So he brings the phone to me to fix (I was unaware he was attempting to root the phone). Now I looked up some guides on this forum onhow to 'Unroot' an S3 Mini and followed them step by step, downloaded this file 'I8190XXAMB2_I8190OXXAMB1_BTU.zip' as we're based in England and selected the md5 file for the PDA box, then started the process.
It installs fine, until it say 'Reset' in the box showing the status of the root, in which the phone reboots and simply sits on the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini splash screen - the phone isn't detected by the PC after this point and ODIN idle's for a while before saying 'PASS' but not showing the phone connected.
The phone then stays at the Galaxy S3 Mini splash screen indefinitely, the only thing I can do is access download mode and retry, which I have.
Could anyone shed some light on why this is happening and what I'm doing wrong? I've scanned the forum a number of times but I'm still unable to troubleshoot this, i wouldn't post unless I was really stumped -sorry guys.
Cheers in advance.
If u can access the recovery do it, do a full factory rest, then flash stock through odin (takes few mins) then factory reset in recovery again and should work, if not u got urself a hard brick....

I can't access Recovery Mode at all, I can only access the download mode. Is that a definite sign of a hard brick? I was told somewhere that as long as download mode is accessible you can sort it,but I'm unsure how true this is. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks for the reply.

[HELP] Can't unbrick my i9001

Hi everybody !
Yesterday, I swapped the sd cards of my gs+ but the phone didn't boot and stayed at the boot animation (CM10.1). So, I tried to restock it but Odin stayed at the AMSS download. I tried to install many other stock ROM but it was stuck at this thread. Today, I retry to flash CWM recovery and stock ROM but now it block at setup connection. I don't know why because I put the ariesve.ops file in the good section.
I have already bricked my phone many times but the restock worked fine.
What can I do ? Please help me I love my I9001 ! :crying:
Thanks a lot for your answers !

The best solutions is to go to a Samsung Service. I had bricked my phone to and i paid 100 $ and they changed my motherboard. Or go to a professional service.

The problem you had was caused by ODIN. I've had it to. You have to use a specific version of ODIN and that version is the one you finde in the recovery package you've just used. So beware in the future!

If you successfully flashed cwm via odin. switch off the phone. take out the battery and insert it back.
Connect your data cable to your phone(not to pc). Then press and hold volume up button and switch on the phone. When the samsung logo appears leave the button. When Samsung galaxy s plus logo appears, just tap the menu button(left touch button). You will get in to the CWM recovery. Then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache (in advanced menu). Then flash a new rom.

[Q] Galaxy note-Black screen of death

Hey guys I am using international Galaxy Note N7000.I switched from CM10.1 to official jelly bean 4.1 without wiping data and now that when the hold the power button I can hear the phone starting(sound) but I don't see any thing on the screen and even I see nothing when I hold hold the recovery mode keys,all I see is a black screen.Now my phone is bricked how can I unbrick?
Please help quickly.
Thank you!!
dont post double threads...
how did you flash jb?
If you know path to cm, why would unclean path back work?
Anyways, go check if you can go to download mode.
If you can, flash a wipe rom with pitfile from ketans sticky in development thread.
at own risk

If there is no download mode or recovery mode then there is no way to revive the phone. On the other thread you mentioned that you flashed a S2 rom.
