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 )

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 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

The 3 button combo does not work because the phone does not start.
That's why I can not get into the download mode

Which method did you use to flash it?
Is your battery loaded?
First you need to check if your battery is charged. If you have a friend with s3 mini try to charge your battery in his phone.
If the battery is charged, the phone should boot. The recovery doesn't affect the boot partition. If the phone doesn't boot you probably wrote something not ok in the boot partition. In this case only a JTAG can fix your phone.
When you flash the recovery from Odin the file you want to flash should be in the PDA box. If you put the recovery in the bootloader box, the recovery file will overwrite the bootloader and your phone won't boot any more. Odin doesn't test if the file is ok for that partition. This is called a hardbrick.
If you didn't touch the bootloader partition, the phone should boot and you should be able to get it into download mode at least. I don't think there is anything you can put in the PDA box to make your phone not boot.
Try flash the stock rom again, use odin it should work even if you're phone is off, remember you had to previously installed samsung kies on your pc/laptop so you're computer recognized your phone (that's simply basic)... I've seen the tys0n dude knows a lot too he's helped other guys good luck pal.

[Q] Galaxy Ace bricked

Hi guys, I come to you as I'm truly desperate about the actual state of my phone.
Earlier today, I decided to go back to a stock rom. When I tried to use Odin, I realized that my phone wasn't recognized by my PC hile in download mode. To avoid this problem, I used Mobile Odin and successfully flashed a stock rom (S5830BUKT2_S5830SFRKT1_S5830XWKT8_HOME.tar). Then I wanted to re-install a custom recovery mode, and I went with version 6.0.4.6 (6.0.4.6-cooper_fix.zip was the actual file). After I did that I couldn't boot in recovery mode anymore : the screen goes black, the logo reappears, then the screen goes white, then gets stuck at a blue screen. At this point I have to remove the battery and boot normally. So I was like 'nevermind I'll flash again the stock rom with Mobile Odin'. But the app requires for me to root the phone. Which I can't do without using the recovery mode. And I still can't use Odin (download mode not recognized). (I don't know why, but I don't have to press Volume Up to actually enter download mode, so I guess it's some kind of custom download mode).
So here I am, asking you to help me because every solution I can think of seems unapplicable to my case.
Thanks in advance !

cwm6.0.4.6 had blue screen issue. use cwm 6.0.4.7. In windows 8 I faced difficulty flashing stock. make sure you are using windows 7. and download mode is sometime pain in @ss. sometimes it simply restarts phone. Be patient.

I tried using Kies too, but it did not work.:crying::crying::crying:
I was going to suggest the same thing. Try using Kies and go to Tools\Emergency firmware recovery and see if that works.

Yes, I can. One of my attached photos has shown as above. I tried to flash via ODIN or Smart Switch ( Kies 3), the program has shown OK but I still got the problem.

It is pretty hard to brick these phones. Just in case you have a bad file or something. Grab the zip and follow these instructions. I know that all these files in this zip are good so it is worth a shot.
Even if you know what you are doing, follow the instructions exactly, you may be overlooking something. It happens to everyone sometimes.

After you odin whichever firmware you flashed, wait about 10 min or so on that boot screen that is stucked. Then pull the battery out. Go into stock recovery but power+home+vol up. Then select wipe data/reset. Reboot and it should boot just fine.
At least that's how i fixed my phone that stuck few times like what you going through.

The problem is my phone can not access to stock recovery or TWRP recovery. It just stuck at first bootscreen which is shown "Samsung Galaxy Note 4 powered by Android", then restart and stuck again. So that I can not wipe data or reset to fix.

Since you can still get into download mode, what happens if you flash TWRP through ODIN? Step 10 in the instructions I posted assuming it is still rooted or start at step 8 if not. Just to see if you can get recovery working again.
You are wasting time...start over, it's your best and quickest fix....

D950 g flex bricked only boots to twrp recovery can't boot to download mode. Help

Hey guys as the title States I have my old d950 g flex that I ended up selling to a friend. The phone was rooted on the stock ROM, well all was good when I sold him the phone but being is a unlocked at&t phone when we got it did automatic ota updates which at that point bricked the phone. So now at this point the phone only boots to custom twrp recovery . shows the LG logo then goes straight to twrp every time. I've tried wiping the data, DAV cache, etc still to no avail to fix the boot. Now I've tried to get it into download mode so that I can flash it back to stock but the phone will not enter download mode. Every time it still goes to twrp. Is there a way to force it to Download mode so i can flash back to stock using rhe flash tool. And or even a way just to flash back to stock without the flash tool and download mode ? I've been searching and trying to get to work for days to no avail. So if you guys could help I'd greatly appreciate at the point were I'm about to just throw the phone in a fire and then have to give my friend his money so I'd really not want to do that lol so please help if you can. Thanks in advance

Update:*** So after searching the internet for days finally found out this fix for bootloop (recovery or normal bootloop) because of the phone being stuck in twrp recovery upon boot it would not let me go into download mode. I did this fix.." http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508 "and phone immediately booted as normal then was able to flash back to stock using flash tool as ive been trying to do for days now so if anyone has bootloop issues forward to this thread
If you had CWM you could of downloaded a file that will force your phone into download mode.
