Here are two posts I posted on another site. If someone could help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.
Post 1
I have a Galaxy s3 mini GT-I8190L and I tried rooting and installing Kitkat but I've been having some issues.
Here is what I did:
Downloaded Odin and Kies (for the phone drivers, Kies was closed while using Odin)
Downloaded CMW Recovery and a root.zip file
Flashed CMW and placed the root.zip on extSD card.
In Recovery mode, backed up system then installed the root file.
Downloaded Root Checker and it said I have root.
Then downloaded slim4.4_golden.nova.20140630.zip and a gapps file and placed them both on the extSD.
Using Recovery (Vol Up+Home+Power), wiped data and davika (whatever it's called) and then flashed slim4 file. But I got an error.
I then tried cm11.0_golden.nova.20140823.zip which went smoothly and then gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip but in middle it stopped with an error and said something about process 7 (I think).
Anyone know what I should do? Would it be better to go through Odin instead of Recovery (using Odin compatible files, of course)?
Post 2
Changed to TWRP2
Backed up all data then did a full format incl. chache and davlik.
Then installed th SlimKAT file and gApps.
(I did NOT format chache after install)
Rebooted pone and saw Galaxy sIII mini screen like normal then cam SlimKAT logo (replacing Samsung's) but it just remained on the flashing SlimKAT logo.
I removed the battery and restored the phone using TWRP Recovery.
I then downloaded Nova Fusion's CM11 for s3 mini and tried flashing it but I got a Failed message. This happened with a number of Nova's files, including the latest (cm11.0_goldem.nova.20140830.zip)
I tried downloading the Odin version but for some reason it keeps stopping in middle (and I don't have unlimited internet and can't keep downloading files).
Didn't think this should be so hard...
Any help would be appreciated!
Please note, during part of this time I was unable to get into DOWNLOAD or RECOVERY modes. I ended up removing the battery and that helped, but for only one time. I had to remove the battery a number of times to get into these modes.
If you need more info, I will try to give it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

CWM doesnt support KitKat, you need TWRP or Philz touch.
or flash via odin

Hey.
I've tried to flash CWM onto a Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570, but even though everything in ODIN seems to go smoothly, I cannot access the recovery menu. Whenever booting with the home key down, It just gets stuck forever at SAMSUNG logo.
I've tried flashing different versions of CWM, all with same results.
Has anyone here had a similar problem and maybe know what could be causing it?
Thank you.

Easiest way to flash cwm on your phone: download latest cwm by squadzone.. place it on the root of your sdcard, not inside any folder.. boot to stock recovery.. apply update from sdcard, you should be able to see the cwm zip, choose it and confirm install.. you will have cwm once you boot again to recovery..

I just flashed my mini with one package CWM installer using odin, and everything is good..when you flash with odin, what method do you use?
Hello,
My Galaxy Ace don't boot after restoring the backup I did, that is what I've done to screw it up:
I installed Cyanogenmod 7.2. Phone was working without problems.
Because I want to unlock it I tried to restore backup to get the original rom. I got an error: Can't restore system.
Tried to start the phone. Don't work, "SAMSUNG" appears on the screen but after a while screen became black, then "SAMSUNG" appears again, then black, ...
Tried to wipe all and install Cyanogenmod again.
No error but phone don't boot, just "SAMSUNG" on the screen, then black, then "SAMSUNG", ...
What can I do?
I've found several guides to unbrick aces but I would prefer don't touch anything if not sure.
did you tried to flash your phone via odin? if not do that
download your region firmware from sammobiles.com
unzip it to get a .tar.md5 file
put your ace in downloading mode.
start odin in your pc and connect your phone.
tick the one package option.
select the cooper.ops
select your downloaded firmware file (.tar.md5)
and click start.
wait for odin to display pass.
if your phone is still in bootloop after the flashing is done..
then reboot to recovery and give a wipe data/factory restore
i had this bootloop problem sometimes but a data wipe works fine
You can't restore a stock rom backup directly from a custom rom installation. The use different file systems (that's why system wasn't restored)
Flash a stock rom with Odin (to convert your file system to stock), root it, install cwm recovery and restore your backup. Works wonders.
Thank you guys, phone back to life.
I just use odin like @deAthbLisS told me and phone started again.
After that:
Unlock the phone.
Install cyanogenmod again.
(I had some trouble here because cm zip file was corrupt due to a memory card problem, I had to use a card from other phone)
Now it's all ok.
I really appreciate your help, thanks
Dear you guys,
Suddenly when my p7300 (running CM9 nightly 120923) can't get through bootanimation (i comes to the animation for few second and then reboot again).
I tried Recovery, but it feels there are problems with the SDCards (??) as whenevery I choose to enter Download folder (where I stored the rom.zip), Recovery show empty and rebooted the device again.
What should I do?
I tried restoring from nandriod backup and it reboot when trying to reboot data partition' but at least it is booted ok now. Recovery is 6.0.1.0.
I cant wipe data. Should I flash recovery vesion 5?
Edit:
I did try v5 again but it doesn't flash cm9 (some error).
I flashed again 6.0.0.8, and flash cm9 again, the same boot loop happened. I can only use the restored one now (half restored anyway), and superuser is not working ('cause it can't wipe data partition?). Please help me out.

Your data partition is corrupted.
Use Odin to flash a P7300 .pit file, followed by an official ROM. From there, select "Wipe Data" in recovery.
You WILL lose all your data, even the one on the internal memory.
Can you point me to the .pit and and official rom?
I have never used Odin before but I have got it downloaded (odin 3 1.85)
I looked in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582943
But there are only Honeycom for 7300, and there are several of them. I looked in "About Tablet" and it says here, under base hand, P7300XXKHC
Anyone? Pls help me to choose the right one. I saw a pit file in odin folder, is that the one?

Mhhm,
Did you install using Odin or via CWM?
Try installing another ROM with CWM.
If that doesn't work, try to install Stock ROM back.

Stock ROMs from Samsung can be found here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Search for your device in the search bar.
Type: ''GT-I8190N''.
Download the right ROM. (Your country and eventually your provider).
Download and install Odin 3.07 (if you hadn't already).
Download and install Samsung Drivers for mobile phone. (If you hadn't already).
How to flash:
1) Go into recovery mode and perform a factory reset.
2) Open Odin Downloader.
3) Turn system off and go into Download mode.
4) Connect device to PC using USB cable.
5) Odin should recognize your phone now, if not: Check if Samsung Drivers have been installed correctly.
6) Click on PDA and add the file you have just downloaded from sammobile.
7) Make sure ''Auto Reboot'' and ''F. Reset Time'' is enabled.
8) Press start and wait untill the installation is finished.
9) Done.
If you are not familiar with this, ask me for more details and I'll explain more.

It's working!
Thank you guys. Since yesterday I had the bootloop problem and tried everything to solve it. Flashed various stock roms and nothing worked. Now this one worked. Thank you again!
I started with a new S3 Mini (Branding Android 4.1.2 ). Using the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 MINI TOOLKIT Pro, (mskip) i rooted it and flashed also the CMW Recovery. Within the CMW Recovery i made a Backup before i flashed a CUSTOM-ROM ( "enox reVenge one" ROM ).
Flashing went trough without Errors, afterwards i did a "wipe factory reset", a "wipe cache" and a "wipe dalvik cache". Then after a reboot the "disaster" was there with a permanent bootloop (Samsung starting Screen with model, etc.) and i couldn´t get into Recovery mode anymore. As i found out, the Download mode still worked and i could still flash using ODIN. but odin don't work Flash installed programs goldenxx_PIT_file put the boot in place. Handset is stuck on the logo. downloading mode is used, but is not recognized as a odin. Recovery dont goes. Zune does not have any drivers. Several specialists have failed. PLEASE HELP ME
