Samsung logo boot loop, totally stuck - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, my phone got totally stuck on a Samsung logo (neverending loop).
Yesterday I let my bro play an Angry Birds on my phone. After a while I took my phone back and to my surprise it wasn't responding. Mobile was turned on (connected to the charger) but all I could see was a black screen. I tried restarting my phone by removing battery but it didn't help at all. I got stuck at Cyanogen Mod logo everytime. Since I haven't updated my firmware in a while I decided to intstall the newest version of CM (KitKat 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl) using Odin app. After a successful installation my phone still didn't boot up, I was getting stuck on a blue CM logo. After this I wanted to wipe my cache/dalvik cache but I wasn't able to get into recovery mode (getting stuck on a TeamWin screen). Reinstalling TWRP and installing ClockWork recovery didn't have any effect. I wiped my phone using .tar file found on this forums, tried reinstalling my ROM recovery many times, tried installing param file (don't even know what's that) and resetting three button combination using Benzonat0r's mod. None of these things seemed to have any impact. I'm still not able to get into recovery neither boot my phone up - Samsung logo bootloop. What am I supposed to do to unbrick my phone?
On a side note my knowledge about Android phones is tiny so please consider this. Also forgive me my poor grammar, not a native English speaker here.

Download This rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from here
Unpack .rar and open Odin.
Select the goldenxx.pit to [PIT]
Select CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md 5 to [PDA]
Select CSC_QXE_I8190QXEAMA1_20130109.163004_REV00_user_lo w_ship.tar.md5 to [CSC]
Put your phone in download-mode and connect it to computer.
Hit [Start] when device is detected by Odin.
You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!
Just go to download mode again and flash a custom recovery and after that a ROM of your choice.
The three button combo will still work!!
This is not my work, give my friend @tyson a thanks for that!

I tried installing stock recovery and ROM. After completed installation I finally managed to pass Samsung screen. I got to the something like Android installation screen and my phone suddenly shut down. Now it's totally bricked, I can't turn it on nor get into the download mode. Charging progress doesn't show up while phone is plugged in neither. Any help?

Hey dude, I wish I saw your reply earlier. If my phone wasn't bricked now I'd give it a shot.

Phone stuck...

Hello!
I've got a little/big problem with my phone...
first of all im using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748984 instead of cwm.
And yesterday i tried to flash a new ROM. First all went pretty good, but the play store was bugged. So i did a new wipe and flashed again, but ofc it was stuck in the bootanimation, so i plugged out the battery... and now all that comes up is first the LG-logo, then the teamwin logo, then it's stuck showing the temwin logo... So i can't flash a new rom, i cant get into recovery mode and when i try to use smartflash on my pc the S/W upgrade wont appear while pressing vol down + pluggin the usb cable, instead the phone is black, the lg logo appears and then it's black again, and it repeats.
Any help or suggestions would be so nice of you!
never use that recovery method, always use CWM non touch version. i think you should nvflash
Use NVflash, me same one time!
Before using rhe nvflash method, try flashing CMW to your phone again. Go to Rusty's CMW thread in the Development section and download it from there.

urgent help please!

I rooted my mums ace using this method. However I didn't install CWM, I just went straight ahead and stupidly installed the .zip straight from the recovery mode utility. I'm trying to install this ROM.
Now I'm stuck at this step and I think I may have softbricked it.... Youtube clip below:
http://youtu.be/gB-mfeePNRA
Basically it turns on, the sammy logo comes up and then it goes red and lines out. Then it just sits there with the backlight on.
I have a download jig at hand if I need it, so I can access download mode and I have the SD card to use.
Update: installed CWM through the .zip recovery file. i then installed the ROM above and it's now just stuck at the boot logo, with the cyanogenmod blue circle swirling around.

Did you factory reset in recovery?

Yep, it did nothing. I'm guessing that when I flashed the CM10 ROM it cleaned out the factory reset.
Ok, panic over!
I managed to get this ROM working.

[Q] Galaxy S Plus I9001 - Bootloop

Hey,
I had the cm9 on my I9001, now i want to have the stock rom, i downloaded the Stock rom, ArriesVE.ops, and Odin.
Than i flashed the ROM on my phone, after this was done, it restarts, i can see the White Samsung Logo , after this i see the "Samsung Galaxy S Plus" Logo, this logo stays for a few seconds and than my phone restarts again and all repeats..
What should I do
Maybe this would help you http://broodplank.net/old/flashsamsungi9001.php
Same Thing...
Gnampf7 .. did u find a way past that.... have been stuck @ de same point whole day now... flashed the stock ROM thrice... cleared cache... cant do a factory reset thou... its asking for a passcode i dont have.
any ideas??
Bootloop on i9001
Hi guys, i gonna tell you about how my i9001 was stuck in a bootloop. Maybe you could help me. I'm sick of it.
Cause: I installed cm10 and cwm5 or 6 as recovery and upgrade my device by using Ota Updater. When I restarted my i9001, it got stuck in a bootloop.
What my i9001 can display: It can access to rampdump mode and download mode. In case I try to turn on my i9001 or access to recovery mode the Samsung logo is shown twice. It often gets stuck showing the typical grey battery flat (with a loading stopped) and the black screen alternately.
Attempts: i've tried everything except for the right solution. Lots of forum threads and nothing works for me. I've tried:
1.- Boot_loader for device boot.
2.- I've flashed an stock rom: XXKQP, and 2 more: BVKPC y XXKQ1. Each one are official.
3.- And then recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4 and -6.0.1.2.
4.- I've tried, then, flashing feamodrecovery 1.2.
5.- Nothing works for me.
I've been using Odin 4.43. AriesVE in OPS section and when flashing these roms: one package. For recovery packeges: one package and pda (I tried these two options).
I can't reach at recovery mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Greetings!

Hard bricked Wiko Rainbow

Hello,
First of all, sorry for my english as it is not my mother language
I've tried today flashing CM13 on my Wiko Rainbow, but I either failed following the instructions or the files I had were corrupted, leading to a never-ending boot.
I don't know if it was already a soft-brick back then, as the phone turned off while booting just after the installation, but 40min after it (obviously because of en empty battery, which was at 37% before installation)
At first, when the phone was plugged into the computer, the phone was booting up, showing the charging icon for a few seconds, and then was going into the infinite boot for 10 seconds, and then rebooting for the same process.
When I was charging the phone on a wall plug, the phone was just in an infinite loop.
The problem was that, when I did the Volume down + Volume up + power thing, I had a choice between Factory mode and Custom mode, but both of them led me to a black screen, and the phone powered off.
I then searched how to install a custom recovery with a soft-bricked phone, and I got a tutorial on SP Flash Tool, that told me to use a MT6582 scatter file, and to select only a Recovery. I downloaded a TWRP for my phone, and then started download, retracted the battery and plugged the phone on the computer.
I got this message : "brom error s_fthnd_file_is_not_loaded_yet"
The software told me to format the Flash, which I did, and this error now became this : "BROM ERROR : S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054)"
The thing is that now, the soft brick is now a hard brick, and I can't get the phone to boot anymore, adb doesn't recognize my device, and after installing and reinstalling my phone drivers, no solution came out yet, so I'm hopping that you'll find a solution to help my problem
Thanks.
Regards.

You're going to need the firmware (not just TWRP) to fix your phone. Have you been able to download it?

Pressing power button it stuck on LG logo with unlocked boot loader msg. not going to the bootloop.
I am unable to enter download mode, it responds but freeze before entering download showing 4 blue dots.
I am able to enter recovery but I can not hard reset as it always freezes on 2nd hard reset screen and not formatting.
No charging, Device Manager shows nothing.
Is there a way to recover??
