Bricked or Boot loop - help needed

Hi people!
I got bricked my galaxy mini gt-s5570, but not totaly (that means I can still use the download mode, and RAMDUMP ARM9 mode) but I can't power up the phone. That happened after I used ODIN for gt-s5570 and changed the Kernel (I forgot to make backup before), and device was working well with the new kernel, but after it I use the same step in ODIN to get back to the old one. So the result is, when I'm pushing the power key the screen starts to blinks and nothing more! But as I say download mode, and ARM9 mode are still working. Any solution for this?

just download the new firmware from samfirmware.com n flash it thru odin as u can go to download mode..n ur phone will be back to life again..
i accidently pressed thanks on ur first post

I can't, I don't have access to recovery mode, it doesn't work!

I mean even when I flash an official rom with Odin, I still have the same problem, I am trying this since three days now and noway...

i think you tried to upgrade firmware not boot whenever you upgrade firmware it cant be downgrade it can just be more upgraded when you downgrade your firmware it will not boot up it will just show a black screen so just reinstall the firmware again and do not try to downgrade it

[Q] CM10 Stuck at bootloop, can't enter recovery, and computer doesn't detect

So I've seen a lot of threads on here with this kind of problem but none of the solutions work for me.
I just flashed CyanogenMod 10 nightly, was tinkering around on it, rebooted and I was just stuck in a bootloop. I can't get into recovery but I can get into download mode. However, my computer just doesn't detect the phone at all. I can't get Odin to detect it to flash a new bootloader or anything. I've tried installing Nexus drivers and everything. It just doesn't even detect that anything has been plugged into the computer. But the usb powers on the phone. If I plug into power I just get a spinny loading wheel that doesn't move and refreshed every few seconds.
I'm stuck. I can't get into recovery to flash, and I can't get my computer to detect it to flash. Help me please?
EDIT:
Okay so tried 3 different USB cables and I've found one that works. I tried flashing a new bootloader but I used the bootloader bit on Odin instead of pda (total noob mistake) now my screen is just black and won't turn on. I can get into download mode to flash stuff again. But what do I need to put in the bootloader section to get it back to normal?

I think you have to start from Gingerbread again
Search on samifirmware a 3 files firmware of Android 2.3.6
After that search on google a Step by Step guide how to flash a Rom with Odin.
I think after that i should work.

Nothing. Never put anything in the bootloader section. Instead, look for a rom that has bootloader in it. I believe that the darky resurrection rom has bootloader.

I had the same issue with cm-10-20121125-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd (after with cm-10-20121126-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd as well!),
symptoms: after automatic install of mentioned version the phone rebooted, but I've got stuck in bootlop, and I couldn't enter in Recovery Mode, just in Download Mode.
I've managed to fix it in the following way:
1. I've downloaded the Semaphore kernel for JB (Semaphore ver. 2.6.0), and unpacked it.
2. I've used heimdall: `heimdall flash --kernel zImage`
3. After that the phone boots and CM finishes the upgrade as usual. (I've did not lost anything from my data.)
(Environment data: OS: Ubuntu 12.04, Heimdall 1.3.2)

Boot loops with cm-10-20121125-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd & cm-10-20121126-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd

Thank you very much for the information!
I was thinking I did something wrong... :crying:
Update:
The newer versions cm-10-20121129-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd & cm-10-20121130-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd are OK again.
With kind regards

[Q] Device boot loop on samsung logo...

Hi
I have a samsung galaxy ace S5830 mobile. I had previously rooted my phone and successfully installed Apocalypse rom on it about 6 months back. Last week however my phone suddenly starts behaving weirdly. Here are the symptoms:
1) Booting doesn't progress beyond samsung logo screen, it is either stuck there or restarts continuously
2) Unable to enter recovery, I have CMW installed but am unable to access it as the phone wont go beyond the start up screen inspite of holding
(vol up + home + power)
3) Tried flashing both single package stock rom/ multiple package rom using odin, Phone does go to download mode and is detected by odin but unable to flash the rom's the flashing process gets stuck at <1> odin mode.. check plcatform verification.(Firmware - India version)
I found many posts on phones getting stuck on boot loop but flashing via odin seems to solve all of them. This however is not working in my case.
It would be great if any one can help me with this problem or let me know if I need to take my phone to the service center,
Thanks,
Vivek

If you have adb drivers installed in your system, you can try "adb reboot recovery" to get into revcovery.. And do you have the usb drivers installed in your system ?? Maybe that is why odin is failing..

Since, you've entered download mode, ur device can't be switched on either normally or in recovery. Also, I doubted ur recovery key combo (correct one is HOME+POWER).
Try with this Odin & Cooper

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 )
