Hi, I live in Egypt for a while and I bought last month a Mini. Everything was going just fine, I was using Odin many times to try new roms, and CWM Recovery to give a try to custom roms, without problems. Yesterday morning I flashed my device with the 2.3.6 rom that I found on this forum, apparently made for Latin America. Since that moment, my mobile is on boot loop, i can't do anything, I only can access downloading mode, I tried to reflash gingerbread 2.3.4, and2.3.5, it goes well, Odin gives me the PASS message, but still my mobile is forever rebooting at Samsung logo. I can't access recovery.
What to do? Is it bricked and do I have to send it to Samsung Center or is there hope to fix it by myself?
Thank you for any help...

Just remove the battery and stop your phone.
Put the battery in again.
Go to recovery mode by pressing Home + Power button at the same time.
In the reocevey choose wipe data/factory reset option.
Reboot your device after you are done.
You mobile will boot up fine.
Thank you for your answers but I wanna insists on a point: I can't access recovery at all, the phone show me the samsung logo for about half a second then restarts, and is looping in this state. No recovery, only downloading mode and RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode) & Emergency Dload Mode (ARM9 Mode). Nothing else is avalaible.
Helppp

hey man i've already had that problem..coz i flash 2.3.6 and encountered same problem but i manage to fix it.. you need to enter recovery mode... Note: you need to hold the home & power button and wait for the samsung logo to flash TWICE (2X),when the 2nd logo flash, just realease the buttons and your on recovery mode.just wipe/ data reset.. right now im using Ginger bread 2.3.6JKVT and its rooted also.
No, I can't access recovery sorry.
Connect your phone to your laptop.
Use ADB
Type this :
adb shell reboot recovery
That will take you to download mode,then you can flash rom again. It would be easier if you have a CWM installed

Shall I use Downloading mode to do this?

If you can't access recovery either falsh CWM recovery or Flash another firmware from Download mode. If you want to flash CWM recovery just follow the link below for Galaxy Mini and search CWM recovery.
I tried many times, since i have this problem, to flash and reflash, official roms, CWR, but nothing works, setup goes fine according to Odin, but still have the problem on my phone, still only downloading mode works, and still a flashing screen, just during the samsung logo.
No one can help me with my mobile???

did you wait for the samsumg logo to flash tiwce while holding the combo key? you see when im installing firmware using odin my laptop turn off coz i dont have a battery i thought my mini was brick because the process was not finish,so what happen i tried to acces recovery mode its only shows a computer icon & phone icon. but i manage to fix the problem i go to download mode and flash again another firmware. and everything goes fine..so how come that you cant access recorvery...i would suggest that you flash a firmware with 4 parts not a single package.
just try this www*mediafire*com/?br3r8fod5g3vud4 flash this firmware with Odin this will surely work please replace * with . brace my post count is not enough to post outside link
As long as you can enter download mode... you are safe. If you can... just flash it back with Odin.
Follow this step

i had a same problem too.
my phone cannot power on, and ONLY download mode only working.
i flashed it for so many time too, and it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
so any fix on this ?
To ybregeon and Tre3,
I had the exact same issue, only Download Mode and RAM Dump, but could not enter recovery mode. Tried flashing many ROMs, oneclick unbrick, Heimdall recovery etc. but still no solutions available, I tried many-many tricks with no luck. So I went to Samsung Service Center, and it turned out that the problem is in the mainboard. It took me one night before Samsung replaced the mainboard from my phone and it's been working well since. All free of charge.
I hope your warranty is still valid. Good luck.

reflash the XXKPI/XXKPK 2.3.4 then flash the cmw, xxkpi and xxkpk is the safest stock gb rom to install
Flash odin and go to recovery mode and wipe.

Wait...
You just rooted, but didn't unlock the bootloader? If you want to install CWM on this device you HAVE to unlock the bootloader first!
And do you see the 1st bootlogo (not moving one) or the 2nd bootlogo (this logo is moving)?
Try to pull out your battery for at least 10 seconds, then plug it in again and start flashing a new KDZ, I guess there will be no other way, since the recovery will be corrupt...
Do you see two red lines at top . If so your bootloader is locked and don't allow cwm recovery to work Try use power + vol up while phone connected to pc it should get you to so called recovery mode from there try reboot and it should work then you have to unlock bootloader to get cwm recovery to work
Another thing I didn't try myself but installing cwm recovery is replacing file dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Maybe if you have the original file copy it over there return you back to stock recovery

first of all: the device is able to switch in S/W Upgrade Mode? The PC recognize them?

Once you have the cwm power+volume down press together and wait till cwm shows up. Then you can use as you probably planned to do with onlocking and flashing cwm.
On your pc you can download rom and transfer via usb /mount usb or smth like that
Then follow instructions of rom devs to install.
If that doesn't seem to work, you should force an update through the LGMobile Support Tool. Then start over again. You probably didn't unlock your bootloader properly (you can check it in the hidden menu or in S/W Upgrade mode), or you flashed a wrong recovery.. Good luck

Dont worry aslong as the device turn on we can fix it flash threeway reccovery from here
Thanks guys
I think the reason was that i try to change the basemod and the modem and the bootloader image ...
The phone went into a hard brick, using a loooot of patience i was able to enter to download mode.
Then I got a Bootloop -_-° (was a long night) using a few tips fron here and there i finally was able to
enter in recovery mode...
Finally i was able to re - root and install twrp and use a my stock backup...
...........
Thanks for those advise and a HUGE thanks to the community. But someone should do a video tutorial of how to unbrick (hard and soft) a s3 mini cuz i just found video about s2 and s3 (and obviously the files arent the same )
my device is NOTE5 n920c, I was in stock with root, and went through a custom rom. I gave all the wipes, and when I start the phone does not leave the samsung galaxy note 5 and then turned black. I entered the recovery has Wipes again and tried to restart, same thing. I was trying to pass the same rom stock but the fail and some inscriptions as rev: 1 something. and a blue screen on the phone saying that I use the emergency recovery by smart switch but the smart switch says the device is incompatible. What can I do?
hello bro i have this problem too i cant find a solution.
I contacted Samsung mobile service center in my city and it say You must bring your device to here and to solve the problem of pay do.

First thing I would do in this case is flash stock ROM to see if that works as long as the device can go into download mode.
Perhaps you wiped the internal storage (media) and erased the OS itself.

Hamid, if you can reach download mode, then flash stock ROM with Odin, don't flash anything else.
First priority should be to get the device working again and then flash custom recovery/kernel/rom.
