My Situation:
Downloading mode: Yes it is working, ODIN does not recognizes the phone (Mass Storage Not Working).
Recovery Mode: No. (Cant not even see the Samsung Stock Recovery Mode: when trying to boot into the recovery a blank screen appears)
What i have done to try fix the problem:
Flashing a JB Kernel with Universal kernel flash tool: ERROR: Unsupported device GT-I9070
NOTE: I've tried changing ports, using different cables, rein-stall SAMSUNG Drivers, and all other common solutions.
Now I need an expert OR experienced Developer to help me sort the problem. Your Help Will Be much appreciated

What driver did you install? Do you have Kies instaled on your PC? Did you install drivers or Kies on those other PCs?
You have no option other than flashing kernel or whole firmware.

You can boot in system? If yes, download CoCore 6.8, unpack it and flash kernel.bin.md5 with Universal kernel flash tool. Before that copy some ROM to your external SD card, and after flashing CoCore boot to recovery and install that ROM.
You do not have stock recovery because you have custom one - from CM.

Just do what I said, use CoCore 6.8. And you need to unpack it, UKF can't flash zip. You need to unpack it and use kernel.bin.md5. If you can't copy file from PC, use some ZIP extractor on your phone - there are some on Play store, just search ZIP.

What is written in your About phone? Maybe you can ask Frapeti to add suppert, or to tell you what to change in build.prop to make your phone usable with UKF. CM changed it, and maybe UKF not recognising phone because of that. But build.prop must have permissions 644, otherwise it will get you a bootloop... When you edit it, you might change permission with save.

Idk, i downloaded it and installed with CWM 6.0.2.8. I havent had any error or warning.
If you can access the Download Mode flash the stock firmware.. mine can't even acces the Download Mode even with USBJig, it still shows a white line..
he had a soft brick, you had a hard brick.. take it to the service center
This should be posted in Q n A not in Android Development.
then report it...posting there is waste of time...since most or all of mini 2 users are here...

I think you have instaled kernel. Pushed kernel succesfuly means kernel is instaled. Go to About phone, and see is it CoCore kernel.

I was having trouble rooting the device. I was trying to root it with the old root.zip file, the Shaaan's method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087424
After continuous unsuccessful attempts I thought I should have a look at the forum - noticed the script has been updated. My bad. :/
I was trying to install the kernel without rooting the device. so, that was it.

Phone not booting after flashing Rom!

I installed cocore 6.8 cwm on my friend's phone and he flashed a custom Rom and now it isn't booting. He didn't take a Nandroid backup. He says that when tried to flash the experia Rom which worked previously it is getting stuck forever. The same happened when he tried to wipe system data in advanced settings. What should I do now?

Also it's there a method that doesn't involve Odin?

You need to put a custom ROM on the SD card then flash it.

First thing that come to my mind is that you instaled GB ROM, and your friend have JB kernel (CoCore 6.8). Post link of ROM you instaled, to see if it was GB or JB ROM.
Second, do factory reset.
If you can go to recovery do this:
Connect phone to PC, mount SD card in CWM (or you use TWRP recovery, mount it there). Push some JB ROM in it, and install it.
I think flashing firmware with Odin is easier, beacuse for pushing zip from recovery you need adb shell, and knowledge of command to push it there. But you can put his SD card in your phone, and use it to transfer ROM too. Just tell him to use JB ROM, not GB.
And if that do not help, I suggest you use Odin method,. Download Firmware, flash it and then you can root it again and use CoCore and some custom ROM.
http://samsung-updates.com/ and http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ are trusted sites for Samsung firmwares.

you could use the device initialization feature inside the smart switch pc software to install official stock rom to your device. all you have to do is put the samsung device to donwload mode or more commonly known as odin mode. and connect device to the pc. go to device initialization on smart switch pc. then type in your device model number and serial number then the software will prompt to install usb drivers if not already installed then the software will automatically download official stock rom and flash it to your device. search you tube on more info on how to use it.
note: i couldn't find device initialization on latest version of smart switch software. you probably use the 4.1.17054.16 version.

You installed GB kernel over JB system, that is not gonna work. Do what Patlcs told you. You can install just kernel, remove md5 from stock firmware, open it with WinRAR or 7-zip and remove all except kernel files (two of them). And flash them via Odin.

I'm In A Bad Situation...

Hi guys,
So this morning I found that an AOSP-based Android 5.0 ROM was available for my S3 mini. I knew that this ROM would have several issues (no camera, GPS, 3G etc.) but I really didn't expect to get into the situation that I'm currently in...
Probably because of compatibility reasons, I can no longer access my recovery (TWRP v2.7.10). This means that I'd need to use Odin to flash a new ROM. However, when I connect my phone to the PC, it doesn't show up in Windows Explorer, and I get a message saying that the device malfunctioned, and that I should try reconnecting it (which, of course, I tried about 173 times).
So it seems that it is now impossible for me to install a new ROM.
Would any of you guys have the faintest idea of what I can do now?
Thanks
Extra Info: My phone's WiFi works, but since I don't have Gapps installed, I've only got the stock browser, which crashes about 3 seconds after I open it, so accessing the internet on my phone is practically impossible. I also don't have any file explorer installed, since I'm on completely stock Android and don't have Play Store access.

Turn of your phone and enter Download Mode (Power+VolumeDown+Home) and flash the Odin Version of CM11 via ODIN. When it gets to the part when it autoreboots enter recovery(Power+VolumeUp+Home). Restore your backup or do whatever you need to do.

flash a custom rom via odin, after that download the NovaFusion's TWRP Recovery v2.8.0.0 20140911 from here (download odin version) and flash it via odin.
After that you can flash GApps with TWRP - very simple

ok then you must go the "hard way":
Download the rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from here.
Unpack .rar and open Odin.
Select the goldenxx.pit to [PIT]
CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md 5 to [PDA]
CSC_QXE_I8190QXEAMA1_20130109.163004_REV00_user_lo w_ship.tar.md5 to [CSC]
Put your phone in download-mode and connect it to computer.
Hit [Start] when device is detected by Odin.
You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!
Just go to download mode again and flash your choice of firmware and the custom recovery as well.
The three button combo will still work!
And one tipp at last: forget lollipop until it is stable and for daily use ...
