[Q] Bootloop + Recovery wont boot - Samsung Galaxy Mini

So yeah i bricked my phone, its stuck in a damn bootloop and i cannot enter recovery no matter which one i install.
I even flashed stock rom via odin and tried both flashing twrp and cwm, none worked, whichever rom is installed i still get in a damn bootloop and i cannot boot into recovery (blank screen).
Is there anything i can do for my phone?
Thank you all in advance

Try to flash Dorimanx Kernel using Odin (v9.34 for JB Roms, v8. for Stock Roms)
I will upload a guide tomorrow for people facing problems with their recovery. I will edit this when its finished.

can you tell me what did you do to caused that ? or do you have download mode ?
anyway it seems to me a hard break . probably you messed your boot . you got two options:
1.use "RescuePDA" (you can find the thread and every thing in galaxy mini II development)
2.take it to a service center

Download mode is the only thing that works, as i said recovery wont boot and any rom i install is getting into a bootloop. ((
I used triangle away, the problems started after that. I had cwm and cm 10.1 08/18
Is there any way to factory reset using odin?

I have the same exact problem.
I follow the discussion with interest.

Zeruel, i seem to have somehow fixed the problem, however not entirely.
I downloaded some random recovery rom, flashed it with odin and wiped everything (cache, factory reset, dalvik cache), and reinstalled cm 10.1.
Then i flashed back the thewhisp's recovery and booted into cm with no problem.
However now i cannot boot into recovery using volume+- and home and power button, i have to boot to it from the cm.
That i dont know how to solve, but at least my phone works fine

Thank you, but I think to have solved the problem with RescuePDA.
A big thanks go to dlb4all, thank you a lot mate.

[Q] Bootloop after Dalvik wipe and accidental reboot

Hi,
I have SlimICS 4.2 rom installed, and was working flawlessly. I wanted to flash Semaphore 1.3.0s kernel to try it, so I went into recovery to flash it.
I wiped Dalvik cache, but when I was going to wipe cache and flash, I accidentally rebooted the phone. Now it is stuck in a bootloop, and I can´t access recovery. I am able to enter Download Mode.
How can I fix it? I´m quite a noob at flashing, so a step-by-step guide would help me to avoid future mistakes.
Thanks in advance

I used Odin to flash Darky 10.1 some time ago, but I followed a step-by-step guide and I really don´t know what each step does. From what I´ve found in the forum, a solution would be to flash the kernel or a full rom via Odin, but I´m afraid of making it worse because I don´t know what I am doing. That´s why I´m hoping for a step-by-step guide.
i also had the same issue
so i flashed stock gb using odin
and root it
then flashed ICS333-2.0.1 rom
after that i flashed jb rom
problem fixed
i cant post my friends link here coz im new pm me i can solve
ODIN stuck
Hi
I tried flashing the semaphore kernel through Odin but it is stuck in "Setup connection". I want to restart everything and try again, but I´m afraid something worse will happen if I disconnect the phone now. ¿Is it safe to unplug it?
Thanks!

I answer myself: I disconnected the phone and I got the dreaded exclamation sign. No fear, removed the battery and plugged it again. Back to download mode, connected it to the same port but this time using Odin 1.7, and worked perfectly!

First of all, chill everything is gonna be fine...
Second, please tell us which version of CM10 did you installed and how did you installed it (did you wipe data/cache/dalvik).
Third, if you have a boot loop into recovery check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330
If your phone doesn't have a bootloop into recovery try a full wipe again and flash CM10 again.

[Q] Stuck on Boot Screen

Hi all
N7000 @ 4.1.2 with PhilZ.Speedmod
Odd behaviour began a few days ago: Single tap power button would cause the Reboot/Airplane mode menu followed by a crash a few seconds later. This became more and more likely to happen so I wiped user data and performed a full factory reset/cache wipe etc.
Went through the android start up as per usual and only installed non-root apps just to be on the safe side (except Titanium Backup - which i use to freeze Touchwiz).
About 4 hours after, same problem only this time it wont get past Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Splash screen image at all.
A new battery was inserted a few days ago - could this have damaged the board maybe?
Recovery STILL works but I don't have any backup images.
Odin recognizes the phone in download mode
Should I try a different kernel/rom?
Really lost without my note.
Any help gratefully receieved!
Regards
Warnoceros
I am having the same issue. Was on Carbon Rom and everything was working fine, then after a restart the phone cannot pass the boot animation. It just shuts off right in the middle of booting. Have tried to reflash back to GB and still the same issue.

Okay, so reflashed and the phone booted fine but i'm still getting this intermittent 'power button causing crash' fault. Tried a couple of different Roms and am still getting the same problem.
Could it be a hardware problem?
Thanks

Yeah it seems to be a hardware issue.. Wait for someone else more experienced then me to see this thread maybe he/she can suugest you a way to get out of this problem.. If you have warranty then do claim it before it's too late

the battery might be failing and have caused something that messed up the filesystem; try installing another battery and reflash any rom with wipes etc and see if it boots up
What kernel do you use exactly?..philz or speedmod?...
If you on philz or speedmod kernel I suggest you make a clean install,
Reboot recovery full wipe..
Reboot to download mode,
Flash stock GB or JB..
If you flash JB, download philz kernel.zip and flash through stock recovery...

Hi
My stock JB official unrooted rom suddenly went to a bootloop. I looked up online for solutions and flashed an official JB ROM for my phone and Odin failed to flash it. I tried Philz recovery but Odin failed to flash it. I got a yellow triangle which I was able to removie through Odin. Currently my phone is stuck on the splash screen. Recovery doesn't work. Odin fails when I try to reflash with a md5.tar file. Please experts help me with my problem. would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Can you get into download or recovery mode?
If you can go to recovery try wipe cache and if it doesnt work try wipe data but remember it deletes all apps!!

Don't worry, it is just a digestion problem (bootloop). CF-root doesn't work with every firmware. If yours wasn't compatible, bootloop is normal reaction. Check my last thread and there you can find step-by-by step guide how to unbrick it.

Great, mate- I'm glad it works again
CF-Root is made AMAIK for Gingerbread ROMs only, and if you have Froyo it is enough to flash SpeedMod root kernel that already features CWM recovery, Busybox and SU. You should always ready very carefully the first posts of the files you flash, so you will void many potential problems.
If you did it after my unbrick guide thread, backup your IMEI No as soon as you root your phone (described how to)
Just click "thanks" button beyond posts which were useful for you, it is our way to express it on this forum (and many us here are visiting the forum to help each other)

[Q] Kinda odd bootloop (help ASAP, pls)

Sooo, I got a problem with my Galaxy Mini 2.
First, I wanted to flash Cm11 (by TheWhisp), but something went wrong during flashing process, and my device bootlooped.
I tried to go into recovery, but it didn't work.
Than I thought it might be a good idea to flash stock ROM via odin. I did it once in the past, with a succesful outcomes, so I fought it will work again.
This ended with a bootloop, only change was the logo during boot process. Than I tried to flash recovery but it didn't change anything.
So my phone is in bootloop, stock ROM flashing doesn't help, and I can't run recovery.
Any ideas how can I fix it?
