unable to software update - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello guys m new here I hope m doing things right
so my problem is that my phone (rooted) stucked at bootloob after pureperformance flashed w/ cwm so the only method to survive was factory reset...and the phone worked normally except I cnt do ota bcoz of device status is custom even ive didn't installed any custom rom (actually ive tride this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282 with odin before I had rooted my phone but failed to flash and device worked normally, so its nt the problem right?) :/
so after hours in the web ive seen posts sugget using triangle away and it reseted my flash counter only but device status still custom...so searched again for hours and hours and there were posts recommending replace cwm with the stuck recovery, but the problem my s3 mini didn't come with recovery mod !
again with continuous searching ive concluded it maybe a csc/baseband problem?cuz the one I have is very different from stock firmware available on the web (sammobile/Samsung-updates...)
I live in Jordan which has no sale code instead in /system/csc/customer.xml it shows that m on Iraq and my sale code is MID !
m noob in adndroid and I really need ur help guys
here are stuffs maybe usefull for u guys to help me

So you are stuck in a bootlop? If so Get Odin and some i8190 stock rom from sammobile install, drivers for your phone so the pc and Odin can detect the phone.
Open Odin,
Your phone must be turned off, now press volumen down button, home button and power button lastly hold these three until it turns on, now reléase the buttons it will boot into download mode
connect the phone Odin will detect it
then select ap
search for the rom you just downloaded unzip it if you didn´t select the tar file and flash it
when it finishes your phone will restart

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 can't, I don't have access to recovery mode, it doesn't work!

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

[Q] Help please , tried to take UK i9000 back to stock , in a boot loop

Help please , tried to take UK i9000 back to stock , in a boot loop
Okay , i guess i best start by saying what i have done and see if you guys can tell me where i went wrong
Okay i had a old custom rom on the phone , i've just bought a i9300 , so i thought hmmmm lets take it back to stock and then sell it ....great idea.
So i went to samfirmware.com download section
downloaded odin 1.82 with the pit files
downloaded
GT-I9000 I9000XXJW4 Android 2.3.6 2012 April I9000OXAJW5 United Kingdom / Ireland (i assume this is stock rom for uk phone with no branding.)
booted up odin , clicked on the pit file.512 (re-partition automatically clicked itself)
then loaded up the downloaded rom unpacked into pda
then clicked start , it took a few minutes , my phone rebooted
odin had worked its magic and the phone rebooted it went into a screen with blue text , a fair bit of orange text was showing
stating it could not do certain things , so i rebooted the phone and now it appears to be in a boot loop , just the animated S logo running and the phone rebooting.
The phone still goes into download mode .
Help please.
The text that came up in orange , was mainly about e partition and how it could'nt wipe things.
i have now downloaded 3.04 of odin and tried the same as my first post , but its done the same thing..just reloading with the glaxay s logo fading in and out .
previously it has been rooted and it had a old version of clockwork mod 3.xx on it..
not sure if this is causing any issues.
Okay , i got it working , followed this guide on the forum :-

[Q] Flashed PhilZ-cm6-JPLR8-OJP-2.7 kernel got stuck on locksreen after reboot

Sir,I need help very badly,I have just flashed PhilZ-cm6-JPLR8-OJP on my brand new note,it went thu all the Pc Odin'steps properly and it said "PASS" and rebooted,when my locked screen openned and I swiped my pattern code correctly,but it got stuck there,I seemed ti have done the procedure correctly because Odin said it passed,and I tried to reflash it as per Mr PhilZ recommendation in case of bootlop,but still the same,Since I didn't do any Wipe on the stock recovery,I can still enter into download mode and my binary counts keeps raising up,please help I just bought this note 3 days ago.What should I do,your help woul be greatly appreciated,thank in advance.
here are the info of my phone;
Baseband; N7000XXLRPK

what happens when you press vol up power and home together? do you have philz recovery?
As you can read at PhilZ thread the recommended methode is using stock recovery rather than Odin. As mentioned in the previous thread you should get into recovery mode and repeat the process, this time without odin (detailed instructions).
If the above do not work, check whether you can go to download mode.

[Q] Several issues with ODIN and I8190, tried almost everything

Hello friends from xda, i have several issues with my I8190, ill list them below:
- Cant enable wifi nor Bluetooth, whenever i turn them on, they stay on "activating"
- cant flash a diferent recovery, the phone is on stock recovery, everytime i use ODIN to flash a diferent recovery, it says "pass!" and everything ok, i enter on the recovery and its the same stock recovery, tried with diferent ODIN versions and diferent recoverys, nothing works.
- cant flash a diferent kernel, everytime i flash it, its like nothing was done, just like the recovery
- i can flash a diferent rom, even a rooted one, but the baseband, kernel, and recovery, never change.
- when i connect it to the pc, it says usb was not recognized, doesnt even install drivers cause its an unknown device, only work in download mode for odin
i think its something with the bootloader, but im not sure.

i dont know if that's possible, i checked the serial number and its official, the baseband is a unbrand release back from 2012, everything is good afaik, ive also seen other ppl with my problems but just not all of them at the same time, i even found all my problems on a FAQ here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185700
but the last solution for the 'USB Device not Recognized' didnt worked for me, and without USB i cant use that program
Ok if there is anyone else with the same problem, i finally managed to install a custom recovery (CWM touch)
i flashed a rooted ROM, since i cant use wifi, i downloaded the terminal emulator APK on the pc, transfered it to the micro SD, then installed the app on the phone, and followed these steps:
put the .img-file on your external sd
Oper terminal emulator and type:
"su"
"dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=dev/block/mmcblk0p21"
Make sure you get the digits in the end right or else you might not be able to boot again.
This will write a recovery image to your recovery partition.
When its done, type:
"reboot recovery"
now i have CWM recovery, will try to fix the other issues now and post the results.
ok, with the CWM recovery i managed to install diferent kernel to try and fix the wifi and bluetooth problem where they wont turn on
the problem is, none of them works, tried like 5 kernels already and everytime i try to turn on the phone, it wont even show the samsung logo after the samsung galaxy s 3 logo where i shows the model number, it either reboots and enter a loop, or just turn off by itself.
tried installing a diferent ROM, didnt worked.
EDIT:
this is the message i get after i change kernel:
Oops
Kernel Panic!!.
Please connect the phone to PC
Enable capture and press the volume down key to get the Kernel Log Repeat if required
Press volume up to enter upload mode.
could it be the bootloader? could it be something else? should i just find a working kernel? help with this please

PLease Help Urgent my only phone doesn't working!!!! May be Soft Brick

PLease Help Urgent my only phone doesnot working!!!!:crying::crying:
Hello Guys, Please help me because my phone is not working and this is the only phone i have so please help me soon.
What Happened:-
I had bought this phone 3 years back in 2012 after 1 month of purchase i updated my phone to official Jelly bean via Samsung kies but my phone had issues like blank screen failing to install official update, So i went to samsung service centre first they refused to service and told me that my motherboard is to be replaced because emmc not working but later they say no need to replace motherboard and installed official update and phone working fine later on i rooted my phone and installed various custom ROMS.
I had been using AICP rom based on kitkat and it is working fine. Some call comes and my phone launcher changed so i goto settings change my launcher but it doesnt change so i rebooted my phone. After that phone booted and AICP bootscreen logo comes after then automatically phone was switched off, Again i switch on the phone but same issue so i go to TWRP recovery and do wipe cache and wipe partition and rebooted my phone but nothing happened galaxy note logo appears and again phone goes switched off.
Problem:-
After that again i went to TWRP Recovery but now failed to go in Recovery mode. Then i go to Odin 3.07 and trying to install official jelly bean via Odin & it displays Pass. Again booted the phone samsung logo comes and then language settings came then after pressing next button phone switch off. After that i tried to install custom ROMS, Clockwork Recovery , Safe Kernels, and official ROMS but situation is same as earlier. Then i install PIT FILE via odin 16 gb pit file with official rom odin shows pass but the situation is same.
Then i go to samsung service centre they go to download mode and where it shows custom binary count:- 1 they told me that you install custom rom i said yes but right now it is on official one ( As i installed Official Firmware via Odin ). They told me that as your phone is old and has no warranty so we try to install our official firmware via odin with all files Like Pit File, Phone, Csc etc. but there is 50 -50 % chance if we fail then you have to replace your motherboard costs around Rs 8500/- or USD $134 which is huge money . Now after installing official firmware with all files got success in odin Phone rebooted with samsung logo and settings come after that phone again switch off means it fails according to samsung service centre.
So after that i become sad but i tried to go to recovery but now good news is yes i get samsung official recovery working perfectly now what to do ? How to check is my emmc corrupted or not ? How to install Lollipop Rom of bauner? How to make my phone working ?
I search xda forum on my issue but not getting exact my situation so Please Help me guys fast .... i think my phone is soft brick not hard bricked.
Thanks in advance for cooperating many needful person and making life easier with sharing of knowledge.:good:
Hi, try going back to official firmware ( i know you already have) , but look for a firmware package with "phone", "pda" and "csc" files to flash, then you're back to square one and can go to a lollipop rom. I had a similar problem and this fixed it
