Galaxy mini 2 Bricked

So I tried to install a rom and every thing went fine. I rebooted my phone via clockworkmod and then it shows me the logo of Galaxy mini 2 and the screen gets whiter and whiter. I tried going back to CWM but it wont open the only thing i can do is go to download mode.
So if somebody coud help me i would appreciate it.

Have you tried reflashing stock?

So are we now creating new topic for every brick? I had the same problem, it's a brick. What did you do?

Sorry I didnt know there was a topic already made. I accidently flashed with CWM a rom that was not made for galaxy mini 2. So is there a way to unbrick it using odin?

easy

You could follow my TUT here. xD
take the flashing guide part

Next time, please, check carefully what you're flashing.

Thank you all for your comments.

Will do.

How could you even flash it since the updater-script cancels installation if the device name/model number is not in the list?

Idk, i downloaded it and installed with CWM 6.0.2.8. I havent had any error or warning.

If you can access the Download Mode flash the stock firmware.. mine can't even acces the Download Mode even with USBJig, it still shows a white line..

he had a soft brick, you had a hard brick.. take it to the service center

This should be posted in Q n A not in Android Development.

then report it...posting there is waste of time...since most or all of mini 2 users are here...

If you can go to download mode, I think that can fix it.
I couldn't boot once when I accidentally flash GB instead of new JB version. It couldn't boot, and go to recovery. Just downlaod mode. So I flashed JB again, and all was ok. I think it will be ok when you use guide for going back to GB now.

REgards !

That method is only for original firmware and not from custom 4.2.2

Then flash stock JB and after you can downgrade, right?

Install a Cocore Kernel, then flash a stock based rom, or reboot on download mode if has the option
Sorry my English
Regards!

Didnt worked, still oding cant recognise it to install original stock firmware

So it should be about your PC drivers.Uninstall and re-install latest drivers or you can install crappy Kies it will install too

Thanks all guys.
The Phone is on Download Mode now, and Odin recognised my phone.
And the 2.3.6 version is uploading now, and seems it is solved.
Thanks alot.

Which method you use at downgrading ? Did you use pit file and did you check re-partition on Odin ?

That's why you have issues with it.Downgrading have different method you should use pit file and check re-partition, you can't downgrade with a stock GB.
There's a thread in our i9070 forum.Use the given files in the thread maybe PC can recognize your phone.

Big issue after firmware update try

Hello,
I've a "non commercial" version of a GTab 8.9.
This tab is running by default Android 3.1. I would like to update to Android 4.0.4. Kies doesn't want indicating my tablet doesn't support the update (i don't know it was 4.0.4 version or another)
I tried to use the standard : Odin + the new firmware. The tablet is unlocked and rooted.
Each time that I tried I get the error : "can't nand write" :-/ I tried all current stuff to fix this issue : change cable, PC, odin version (1.83, 1.85, 3.07, 3.09). I tried to change recovery with succss
but impossible to change rom. I found a link on tsar dot com (sorry I'm too young here to post link) to reformat tab and I put the pit file : this has worked....but now : i can't access to the recovery. I can only open the download mode...but I can't do anything and I don't have others files described ont the following link
XDA's guy are ones to save me !!
thanks by advance (sorry for my poor english)

Thanks for your reply. I tried this first but it didn't work because when I want "start" with the good firmware (7300), the md5 check works but that's all. When odin want write boot.img or other file, i get an error "Can't write" and odin stops.
As this method didn't work I try with the tsar dot com solution. Hoping that's can help me.
Thanks a lot.

I've a similar issue in /data partition (it can't be writtable after a try to flash with Odin from a virtual machine) and I fixed it with the PIT file to repartition, reflash stock firmware and then a wipe/factory reset from stock recovery (I think it did a format)...

I try to put pit file. It's works as I told in my first post. But I can't flash the firmware with a standard stock rom (apparently). Can you tell me tools and roms that you used to fix the issue exaclty ?

What I remember is Heimdall doesn't work with my P7310 and it don't let me do anything.
Anyway, plug into a Windows machine running Odin 1.85 (I think this version it's fine) your tab, press 10 seconds UP and power button and see if your tab is detected. In that case try to flash stock package again.
Some time ago it happened to me with a Galaxy Ace phone, when phone is booting screen was off but the phone enters into download mode anyway and you could flash whatever you want.
A last shot for you could be disassemble your tab and pull off battery. Wait some minutes and then pull on again. Try to start in download mode with tab plugged into your computer. If you don't have enough knowledge to disassemble your tab (and I can assure you of that it's not easy) maybe you need to bring it to Samsung support.

After lollipop update, is possible to downgrade to official kitkat?
Taptalked

Very good gestion

Please people read DeHawk's section about upgrading and downgrading bootloaders. It is not so simply...

if kk and lollipop roms have the same bootloader, the downgrade is simple with stock rom with odin.
i need to know if anyone tryed it before i flash lollipop

I have installed the Czech Republic version with odin and everything seems to work fine.

i also had wifi error at first, flashed the rom 3 more times with odin and than wifi worked. :good:

the trick apparently is..
Just make sure you follow the sammobile instructions carefully, others have just loaded odin and flashed the rom and the modem etc. was left 'untouched'. So make sure you do the proper sequence e.g. download mode (its in the sammobile instructions).

Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
These are the steps which i make

Reboot / Boot into download-mode?

Not too sure about that part! It is actualy recommended that one should turn-off phone and then boot into download-mode rather than "reboot" into download-mode. The experts might give their two-cents on the mutter.

Nice i will wait for the update if there is

There's no wifi bug. You just have to turn off the device (no restart!!!) before going to download mode. Otherwise modem will stay untouched - from previous firmware causing wifi problems.
