[Q] Grey screen bug - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i got a S3 mini (GT-i8190N) for christmas. I rooted it with VROOT, and installed CM11.0 (20120104) with clockworkmod, and because they said that "IT’S RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL THIS UPDATE!", i updated it (20120108). Everything worked fine, until today. I was looking around the xda forums, and found out about swap memory. I had a 4GB kingston microSD HC card, and i didn't used it for anything, so i tought, that if my phone could be faster, that why not. So i followed a guide (here on xda), and reformatted my memory card accordingly. when i put the card back to my phone, instead of the bootscreen, it showed a grey screen with black lines, if i turn it off, it automatically turns itself back on. I can't start up cwm, same grey screen. The download screen works, but i can't do anything with odin, it says that "there is no PIT partition". Than i looked up PIT, and found a .pit partition file, and it does absolutely nothing. Odin tells me, that 0 succeeded 0 failed. The partition software tells, that the sd card is "bad disc". I have absolutley no idea whats going on now. Please help me.

Try deleting applying the nooter image to the sd card when it is un-partitioned. I had similar problem and this solved it. After applying nooter image the sd card should open up shong four files when plugged into a pc

I was trying to do the gingerbread on this new tab for my buddy. But, it failed and for some reason, I cant get it to do anything. Take a look at this picture and help me figure this out please.
If I can atleast get it back to stock, I can try to other methods, however, it wiped off the original bootloader and I cant find the bootloader anywhere.
Help! Please!

Hello, there!
I have the same problem with my tab. I left it OK at the evening and the very next morning I found it dead with black screen. Restore mode didn't work either, so I decided to re-install the software. After installing the Gingerbread it cannot load properly always giving me the same errors.
At the service centre they told me that I need to replace the memory chip, because it's faulty. However, they didn't know the exact problem, because my device wasn't bought in my country.
Did no one know anything about this??? Just found my Tab dead after having ICS on it for nearly 2 weeks....pretty stupid. I'm stuck with all these "can't mount" errors. Nothing I've tried will fix this issue. Any insight would be appreciated on this matter.

Broken Digitizer Help need to recover pics

I have a friends Captivate that the inside screen is broken and not displaying anything. The touch screen is working but I cannot see what I am doing (I hear different sounds depending where I touch on screen . The touch icons on the bottom also work. He has pics of his kids on it that he cannot get back. If I had screen captures of usb mode I might be lucky enable mass storage on the phone. Can anyone help?
Stock Att Captivate
Internal memory recovery
Don't believe debugging is on.
I can get into download mode but not sure what to do after that
Doug

The pictures are in the internal memory not on the micro sd card. I don't know any of the other info but it was never modded in any way.
ok then plug in usb.plug in usb
swipe the status bar down
press where the usb message is supposed to be in PIC 1
press where the button is in PIC 2
folders should pop up on computer

Recovery Problem

Hello guys. Today wanted to switch to another rom and eventually get rid of my junk files(I formatted the SD card). I also wanted to flash CWM Touch. So what I did was formatting the SD card and flashing a new recovery (CWM Touch). Somehow my device got bricked. I tried to unbrick it through Odin but the problem is that my PC doesn't recognize the phone, even though I have the latest drivers installed. I can't enter the recovery mode either. However I can still enter the download mode. If I turn it on normally, this image would appear:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any suggestion?
There is a solution. Look at wiki page for our phone...you need to flash bootloader...

The Wiki Page is here:

I think the easiest is to flash via ODIN in the download mode a official image for our phone.
And....unfortunately your post will be moved...thanks and happy flashing~
Well my problem was that my pc did not recognize the phone, so odin was useless. However somehow my pc recognized it after a lot of attempts. Thanks for your replies guys and sorry for posting in the wrong section.

Galaxy S5 G900FQ won't boot after root

Hello. Today i booted my S5. It wen't good and didn't face any problems doing it. After that, i removed some applications that i don't like with a program. When i was done with that, my phone kept giving me a strange error. I though i deleted something wrong and decided to repair it somehow. Downloaded FonePaw for Android to my PC and repaired my phone. During that, suddenly the program stopped and i disconnected my phone to the PC (i know that was a mistake). Now i can't boot my phone. Nothing happens when i try to turn it on. When i try to get to he download menu, Samsung logo stays in screen for 5 secs then an error pops up in the screen for about 1 sec :

It says : Your device will be in the recovery mode all though the recovery process.
Tip: If the data recovery is completed but your device keeps in frozen stat. Please restart our product and connect your deice, the program will prompt you to exist recovery mode"
I don't know what to do now. Thanks for your help in advance.
