S3 mini hard bricked - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. My s3 mini is hard bricked. Don't turn on, recovery and download mode don't work either, and when i connect to pc via usb, windows make a sound and then after 2 sec. sound disconnected.
I read through forum, i can boot it with an sd card, but i need debrick file for s3 mini. Can someone help me? I need a s3 mini debrick file. Help!
Edit: jig usb don't work too, and my model is gt i8190 and i tried with another battery, but doesn't work.

I don't think you can "unbrick" your device, its gone.

The only thing that could save you is a JTAG service.

[Q] Accidentally flashed a Captivate firmware on an Anycall Korean SGS...

So I accidentally flashed an AT&T firmware (Captivate) on a Korean-Type Samsung Galaxy S. To be more specific and detailed, I've written everything below.
Firmware Flashed: 2.3.5 SGH-I897_I897UCKJ1_UC_ATT
Phone I Flashed: SHW-M110S)
My Problem: I ca'nt get into download mode to flash the correct firmware to get it to boot correctly. It turns on, and I can get into recovery mode, but not download mode. The phone turns on, and goes through all the startup screens, but gets stuck on the colorful "S" screen, then reboots again. The second time it boots, it goes past the "S" screen then the screen just turns black. I have no idea what to do.
Any help? Advice? Or suggestions?
Thanks so much in advance
Do you have CWM recovery? If so you can copy a rom in the sd with your computer, plug it in the phone, mount the external_sd and load it from there.
Else, you can get Download mode with an usb cable, search in youtube, there are some interesting videos.
May be you need Usb Jig to go into download mode Instructions below
Needed materials:
1)SgS I9000 (obviously)
2)Microusb Pin with 100*3ohm+1ohm Connected in series to pin 4 and 5Diy tutorial here(otherwise buy it in ebay)
remove your battery fro about 2 min then plug in the usb jig it powers on automatically otherwise just do the normal vol down+enter+power
viola we got download mode
after that download your rom thru odin using a pc
Sorry for my bad English,If i spelled something wrong or a grammatical mistake please correct me

Your English is quite good, your French however not so..
"viola" should be "voilà"
UPDATE: Now the phone won't turn on at all. Not even when its plugged in to the wall or the computer...

Use jig method it will work
be sure to take of the battery for 1 min (check the battery voltage using a multimeter it should be around 3.7 above voltsotherwise charge it in ur phone it does charge)and reinsert it and then plug the usb jig NOT THE USB Cable and it powers on automatically otherwise boot it up using vol down+enter+power while the usb jig is connected
Thanks for the help everyone. I've decided to just buy a usb jig after all... Since most of the replies say to do so. I'll order one on ebay, but my last question is does it matter which one I get? I see a lot of Samsung galaxy s2 and galaxy s usb jigs. Mine is the Korean type i9000 and I also have an s2. Is the i9000 usb jig compatible with my Korean one? And there's this usb jig that says its for a galaxy s i9000 AND a galaxy s2 i9100, can I just buy that one for both of my phones?

Please help...Galaxy Ace Is Dead!!!!!!!!!!

I'm using galaxy ace gt s5830. i used rom manager to install CWM. then i tried to install a custom rom from my sd card. but it wasn't working and asked me to do it manually. I tried to reboot it and that's it. Now when i try to switch it on, nothing happens. not even a blink of a light !!! I've tried charging as well as connecting to my pc. that also is a failure. please....please.....please.......help me !!!!!! Any kind of an answer will be appreciated. thanks in advance.
I had the same thing on my Samsung gio.
It was completely dead.
Thy taked it back under warranty because my gio was only 2 weeks old.
They told me that the main frame was totally screwed.(dead)
So if you got warranty just tell the store that you updated the factory rom and that its not booted after it was finished.

PLEASE, DON'T USE IT NEVER!!!
If you still have the warranty in effect send your device for service
Your ace is screwed up.

Try this -
Remove battery, sim card and memory card
Hold Home+Vol. Down + Power button and while holding those, ask someone to reinsert the battery.
This might force the device into download mode after which you can flash a ROM via Odin. If this doesn't work, it's a hard brick.
Your only hope is a USB jig or a motherboard change (hopefully, that'll be covered in your warranty).
All the best, mate. And remember, NEVER use ROM Manager.

Do you flash other phone ROM to Galaxy Mini ?
If yes, then give it to Samsung. You're hopeless.
Did you try Samsung Galaxy Pro usb drivers and odin.
One does not simply flash Galaxy Pro firmware onto Galaxy Mini.
These kinds of firmware are not like ROMs. ROMs can be flashed on similar devices; firmware is device-specific.
One last-ditch method to get into download mode is this:
1.Take out everything in your phone (battery, SIM card, SD card)
2.Hold download mode button combination
3. Insert battery (get someone to help you) and hope that download mode appears
4. Plug it into your computer (preferably with the correct version of Odin and Galaxy MINI drivers and firmware)
5. Flash as per normal
6. Hope it works
The other way is to use USB jig, which I frankly have no idea how to use.

Bro, you have installed a rom meant for another device and thus hard-bricked your phone. The rom was meant for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i while your phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. As a last resort, follow this guide by @SuperMini to see if you can force open Download Mode through odin mode.
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace
Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin. Go to "Preparations" section to download all the necessary files including drivers. If you PC doesn't detect the phone, it usually the problem with drivers. Make sure reinstall drivers if the problem exists.
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
Once installed, go to recoverymod and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,
