[Q] Samsung galaxy s3 mini stuck on bootloop - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all, i've got this problem since a week ago.
i already read all topic in this xda forum, also search at google but i can't find how to fix my SGS3 mini.
the problem is like here,
first time i install CWM recovery, then flash it with custom rom CM11, but i forget to format cache, data, also the dalvik cache. then when my phone is reboot it's stuck on CM11 logo screen (boot loop).
i can't go to recovery mode also the download mode, now my phone still loading at boot loop CM11 until the batery drain..
anyone can help me? is anything i must fix with the hardware?
sorry for the bad english, i'm from indonesia.
thx for your help

remove the battery and then re-insert it. Then you can boot to recovery/download mode.

Strange it turns on. Try removing the battery for a few minutes and then reinsert it. It should not turn on when you just insert it :s

You do not have that Samsung logo when you try to power on phone? Do factory reset if you can, in recovery.

So you can go to download mode, but can't turn on the phone or go to recovery coz you only get the vibration, which suggest (ofc, lol) the phone won't even properly boot?
Everytime my battery is near zero and the phone shuts itself down and near total death, that's what happens. It just vibrates but nothing happen. IMHO, I don't think that you're facing bootloop or anything.
In your case, you said that you charged it and by the time you wakes up it's a goner. I would recommend trying a new battery for now. Your current one might be dead as in broken or something. Trying a new battery won't hurt.

I have the same problem, but a little different. I've thinked that was battery problem as you, i've bought a new battery, but nothing is changed. I was running JetMod. When my phone has low battery and than shut down i try to recharge it but doesn't work anything! if i try to turn it on it only vibrates (with black screen, nothing happened). The only thing that can i do is go to download mode, but for a few time becouse after 10 sec it shut down, so i think that it has not been charged.. I observe, when it was alive, when i try to charged it, that not many time he started recharging, i don't know why.. i've tried different plugs or with computer but it works only when it wants to..

ok, thank you.
I had same issue when i changed governor: cable plugged but battery don't charge ( i think )
Going to sleep, wake up and founded phone discharged.( when power up i had black screen and little vibration )
Remove battery, wait, insert battery, plug power cable, and wait if you see the battery logo charging.
Then Boot your phone.
If this not work ask to Samsung assistance

Rolled to ondemand and interactive governer and problem go away.
I had only a good luck finding the solution.

You cant go to Download Mode or Recovery Mode?
no i can't
Try to remove your battery for 10 minutes, then put the battery in your phone again and connect your phone to the socket for 10 minutes ... then try Download Mode again ... If there is no response at all, your phone is probably hard-bricked
already tried ....i try again
It is charged?
nothing .. it does not even appear the level of charge .. I have to take care even if you root ??

[Q] [Dead] Totally dead phone

Hi.
Today, after flashing a cwm recovery, I install the carbon rom 4.4.2 (and gapps) through the recovery, and everything has going fine, so i reboot the phone and... nothing. Absolutely nothing. The phone is always power off and it won't turn on. I tried to enter in download mode, recovery, change battery but neither is happening. What can I do now? Dump in the trash?
Thanks a lot!

One solution would probably be a "USB-JIG"
next time use TWRP recovery as novafusion suggests

Just return it to your seller. The contract of sales lies with the seller, not for you to send it to the manufacturer. I fully drained the battery of my bricked S3 mini before sending it back to Amazon (my seller) and they never found out it was rooted
I got the USB Jig; I remove the battery for 20 second and put in again, insert the usb jig... nothing again.
Well, i think I can dump it ._.

Hey bro ! Try this. Remove your battery and hold on volume down button. While holding button connect your phone to PC via phone. It must boot in download mode. I hope it will work, good luck

You can try and use a USB JIG to boot into download mode and hence flash stock firmware. Hope this helps.

hmmm so you mean that you connected the USB JIG to your phone to boot into download mode and then connected it to your pc right? If so then install these drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982287 .

Go to your phone shop and ask if they sell a "USB jig " for you phone , or search E-Bay for "USB jig for Samsung Galaxy Ace " and buy one,
not much money.
It is a small plug in device, that ONLY attaches to the phone.
Take battery out of phone, put battery back in, do not push any buttons.
plug in USB jig device........... wait for few seconds.
If it works, your screen on the phone will show download mode.............. unplug the USB JIG.
Do not touch buttons on phone.
Start Odin on your computer.
Connect your phone to the PC with USB CABLE, and flash stock rom for your phone, like this :-

Later, when phone works again, you can try install your custom rom again.

Thx my firend. Yes I know and I do that. Here is what i posted after wen i finish that method:
After brick my MI3, I use the methodr to fix my phone with wire. I open MI3, put wire on test points and tray to FLASH. But I never finish flash. Then i remove the wire and I make Flash without WIRE
After flash, I have 7 local disk in my computer from MI3. Two local disk are 63.9 MB and they are just free 11.5MB, and other 5 local disk want to do a format disk.
When I back battery I can't turn on my phone, and wont charge. If I put USB in him he will have the same local disk like without battery.What to do?
Now I can do a Flash with, and witout battery. But they are the same problem. PC recognize MI3 but it wont turn ON, won't charge.
What to do now?
