[Q] Briked phone? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I change the room of my phone, and change the kernel with Cyanomodgen, then got some issues with the usb, not sure if they was related to the rom change or just lucky.
the point is that if broke the recovery, so it is stock on the recovery, android is not starting either and I have no usb port for the while.
There is any way to try to fix the recovery of the phone? other than download mode (usb port required)???

Help at hand

What's actually broke again the port in the phone ? and you can get the micro sd card from the phone and then but the rom on the micro sd card from the computer via a sd card usb adapter and then go into the recovery on the phone to install it if not can you reply :good:

Can't flash ROM: Wipe all and don't have OS

Hi there.
I recently flashed the OmniROM to my i8190, but since it got several issues, after two weeks i decided to flash stock ROM.
So i enter TWRP recovery and wipe all data on the smartphone, but then my computer crashed and lost the VM that got Odin and drivers etc. so in a new VM i decided to try to flash, but now i can't.
Odin doesn't recognize my i8190, i thought ADB sideload could do the trick following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200but all i got was:
error: device not found
Now i ended up with a pretty brick hahaha.
How can i flash a ROM ..ANY to my phone.
I got another i8190 so i installed the drivers from it to the VM, all except the MTP device, that got error.
I also installed SAMSUNG drivers, but nothing, ... i'm kind of losing it now hahaha.
Can someone helpe me flash this thing?
a) I CAN enter TWRP Recovery
b) I CAN enter Download Mode
c) Don't know if Odin doesn't pick it up since USB Debug i presume it's not on, but then again, since no OS is installed, i don't know how to turn it on from recovery or something like it.

Try another usb port and/or another usb cable. Also make sure that nothing with kies is runnung in background if you happens to have that installed.
When you connect with adb, also take a look on your phone screen if it asks for authorization to connect.
You got both download and recovery so problem is with connection/drivers.

Try this :
If you have an external sdcard in your s3 mini then :
1. remove it and put it into a other phone
2. download a ROM and move the ROM what you downloaded to your external sdcard
3. Put the external sdcard back to your s3 mini
4. Go to recovery and choose "install from external sdcard"
5. And intstall the ROM
6. Done! You have a OS again.
It's very easy and if you don't have a external sdcard then you have a big problem bro

If you have an adapter (micro SD to SD) then you should be able to insert the card into a card reader. This will probably be easier than trying to find another phone.

Yeah i did this, but no luck at all.
Finally i change the usb driver, installed Kies again and voilá! Odin picked up the phone and flash were on .
Thanks to all.
Glad you've got it sorted.
I've noticed my PC wants to install drivers for the phone almost constantly. Every small change seems to result in a change of driver. It can be frustrating.

due to windows updates this should be expected that certain third party software like the drivers would need updates
so that leaves two choices
either keep your stuff up to date
or
get left behind and drowned in problems

The only thing you can do with no PC input is clear cache and factory reset from recovery .. Do not Format DATA in recovery and Do Not Wipe /system or the phone will be bricked

need help Nexus 6 i wiped everything by mistake stuck on twrp recovery

Hi XDA users i really need some help!!
my buddy is into rooting androids and doing all kinds of stuff to them. i bought a nexus 6 and he rooted it added cyanogenmod and twrp recovery.
I soon upgraded my phone and let my cousin use my nexus 6 cause he lost his phone.
when he gave it back I wanted to erase everything and sign back in to my account so i went into twrp recovery and by accident instead of factory reset i formatted the phone which erased everything. so now it doesn't have anything in the internal storage of the phone.
it is now stuck on twrp if i boot it all i see is the google startup screen and it stays there.
my laptop wont recognize the phone so i cant add cyanogenmod ROM and I bought
did i ruin this phone? anyone encountered this before?
i will ad pictures tonight
Get it hooked up to a computer (update drivers on your laptop if needed), get a flashable ROM onto your phone's storage, and flash in TWRP
Just use a otg cable to hook up usb stick to the phone and use that to install the rom
Preferably, download a fresh stock ROM from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
Then either get the drivers to work properly on your laptop or hook your phone up to another computer and transfer it over to flash. Shouldn't have anything to worry about
I do this all the time. You just wiped the OS and internals and only have TWRP. I do this when I want to complete clear my phone. You can either use an OTG stick or fastboot to flash a new ROM.
No one else here has mentioned this, but you can also use fastboot to adb push a ROM zip into your internal SD card if you do not have an OTG stick.

you can't use fastboot to flash any ROM but the factory image, and you can NOT use fastboot to adb push anything. you can only use adb to adb push stuff. and you dont need to use anything to move a rom into storage using twrp. and I do this every time I want to flash clean.
Yea, not too big of an issue really. Boot into TWRP and like the others said, transfer a ROM and gapps to the phone and just flash those, or alternatively, you can use fastboot to flash a stock image, if you want to go that route and need help with that, pm me and I'll run you through it! We all gotta learn these simple steps right? let me know!

I have a 64gb 3.0 sandisk OTG stick with the ROM but my nexus 6 is not recognizing it so adding a OTG cable in between might work?
Boot into TWRP and then plug into your PC, it should recognize it and let you move files.
thank you everyone for replying!! so pretty much this is what i have tried.
i connected it to three different laptops and none pick up the phone while i am in twrp recovery.
i bought a 64gb 3.0 sandisk OTG stick and put the ROM in their and the phone is not recognizing the external drive.
how do i update the drivers? maybe thats it.
am i using the wrong OTG stick?
Easiest way that's totally fool proof, download the nexus root toolkit from wugfresh.com and click the option to install drivers, then click "step 3" and it will install it for you without getting the full android SDK.

Try a different one if you have it. My Sandisk USB thumb drive to OTG cable does not recognize, but I have an HP thumbdrive that does.

I have this: http://www.amazon.com/LIFETIME-WARRANTY-Electronics-Micro-Cable/dp/B005GGBYJ4
It's basically a microUSB connector to USB. You can connect thumb drives, keyboards, mouses, etc..................I always keep a copy of TWRP and a ROM (dosen't matter what, I keep Pure Nexus) on it at all times. I've had to flash TWRP from my back up once b/c a CM based ROM corrupted TWRP.
What i noticed is that if i am already booted into twrp and then hook up my stick it isnt recognized either. But when i boot into twrp with the stick already hooked up its recognized.

Yeah same here. You either need to plug in first to get the phone to recognize it then go into twrp. If it doesn't then do a soft reboot to the rom then reboot into twrp agaib

Try to copy the ROM from the computer to USB and USB to ur phone
Hi,
i always use an USB-Stick for the ROM's to flash. Just to be sure i can see an zip to flash under every circumstances. (Except those phones which need to be flashed over USB - but the ROM is visible on the PC)
cya
Did you try to format your device?
