Please help me. Bootloop, No Recovery. Urgent! - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys my cousin tried to upload a custom rom on his Galaxy S3 Mini, and something went wrong.
When i checked the base model before it went into bootloop it said it was the 8190N, but when i take the battery off, it says I8190 (Not N).
i can't go into recovery mode. i can only get to download mode. i am trying to find a solution, i am trying to find an official rom, that might help me, but it seems i can't get it to work.
My cousin has to leave tomorrow for a travel, and it is important to have his phone back...
Can you please help me with some advice?
Last custom rom that tried to get installed was virginity, it got root and super user, but after the installation of the rom, it got into bootloop.
Please share some ideas - links.
Thanks,
Ted

Just for future reference...
I managed to fix it. It took me all night because sammobile sucks when it comes to download speed.
the phone was actually i8190, but for some strange reason it said i8190N in the About info.
when i managed to find the original official stock rom, i was able to upload it through Odin and download mode.

[Q] Bricked NTT DoCoMo Japanese Tab

Ok here goes... This is my first thread post here but I am in serious need of help.
I have searched and searched the forums for a hopeful answer but I have found it difficult to find the answer I seek.
So here is the story:
Bought a GT second hand from Akihabara in Japan which was locked to NTT DoCoMo. I was using it as a WIFI only Tab and all was wonderful till my IT brain decided it could be better and I began to tinker.
I had been looking around for a way to make my Australian Virgin Mobile SIM to work on the tab and found a lot of good answers but nothing that would make it work.
I then had the brilliant idea to change the firmware with a European firmware so I could get all the features enabled from a fresh start. Which is where it all went wrong.
I first tried to flash the tab using Odin 1.7 with the P1000XXJK5 euro firmware from samfirmware.com
This failed and left my tab with the picture of a phone and a pc with a dotted line and in between them an exclamation point in a triangle.
After a lot of fiddling (I dont remember what I did but I managed to get rid of that screen had something to do with retrying the flash and it was very late last night at this point) I managed to try again but Odin just kept failing on running the updated firmware.
I then decided that it would be a good idea to run the Rotohammer firmware by following the instructions on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827&highlight=sc-01c
This is where I once again received errors from Odin and now my tab is somewhat bricked.
I tried reflashing but same errors every time. (I currently dont have the errors from Odin but I will update my post when I get home)
I can still get to the downloading screen (Yellow triangle with the Android digging) so I am hopeful all is not lost.
So now you have heard my sob story I will ask two questions....
1. Has anyone actually successfully flashed a Japanese model Tab?
2. My only thought/hope at the moment can anyone direct me to an original NTT DoCoMo firmware so I can at least go back to having WIFI only Tab?
Thanks in advance if you can help
Alex
Yes , i suggest you to wait until you get a right firmware for it !
That would probably work if the partitions are a match !
What is this model called btw ?
"NTT DoCoMo Japanese Tab" or there is any model ? such as M180 for korean , P1000 , P100 Sprint , I800 Verizon , etc..

Oz the model is SC-01C it has a build date of 2010/12
I was thinking considering I can get into the build/download screen maybe trying an emergency firmware recovery using Kies.
Hi,
I'm a fellow SC01 owner. You can get a backup of the stock firmware here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OJAK2UZF
Firmware code is SC01COMJK2
I believe there are newer firmwares (which I haven't installed as some of them contain a new bootloader that only allows for signed firmwares, same as the international units) that I have seen mentioned on various Japanese blogs. Let me know if you want me to try to hunt any down for you.
As for my SC01, I installed the custom kernel by koxudaxi and it's working great. Mind you, I've only changed to this kernel and apart from that am running the stock OS. I got his kernel here which can overclock to 1.4GHz: http://koxudaxi.sakura.ne.jp/
The kernel I installed via Heindall is zImage_ntt_2. It looks like he's built a newer version though, I might check that out. I think what you might want to do, is in download mode try to restore the above backup to your unit. Look up the Roto Backup thread to see how to do this. Hopefully since you can get download mode, all is not lost. I personally think it's quite crummy that there are different hardware versions like this which aren't interchangeable though >_<
I'm going to give the original firmware a go today at lunch time and I will let you know how I go. Thanks anyways for the link if all goes well I'll look at possibly trying the the koxudaxi kernel.
UPDATE: Well I'm not having luck getting the firmware to flash to my tab I keep getting "Failed to retrieve config Descriptor" when trying to flash. I will keep plugging away.
UPDATE: Still getting the same problems using heimdall to flash the tab. Any suggestions as to what I could do next?
Recovering a Docomo Tab
I'm currently running Overcome v1.1.3 ROM and richardtrip's V15 kernel on my SC-01C.

You're getting this error from Heimdall, right? Have you tried Odin 1.7?
Here's how I recovered my Tab using Odin:
1. Following the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827, specify the P1_add_hidden.pit in the PIT button and select Re-Partition.
2. Specify the stock Docomo ROM when pressing the PDA button.
3. Ignore the Phone and CSC buttons, as the stock ROM already contain these items.
You should be able to restore your Tab to stock settings using this procedure.
If this doesn't work, you might want to check if the USB connection to your PC is ok, and if everything necessary to run Odin is installed on your PC.
Bugger!
Well thanks for your help all of you but I think I have just made matters worse.
Last night I had success in flashing the original docomo firmware provided to me by zetsurin but I think I shouldn't have included the boot images.
Unfortunately I think it is completely bricked now it now wont turn on and when plugged into power (thinking that the battery had died) it just comes up with a white screen.
I can't boot into download mode and I can hold down the power button till I turn blue in the face... So as Bones would say "It's dead Jim"
Unless any of you have anything else I could try as a last ditch shot I might just have to ship it back to Japan and get them to fix it or maybe try Samsung here in Oz.
Serves me right
Thanks again.

What exactly happened?
The SC01COMJK2 firmware does not contain protected bootloaders, by the way.

I've heard about this happening when the battery runs out. Try connecting the Tab to your PC (not your AC adapter) and let it trickle-charge for an hour or so. If successful, you should see the download screen.
fury1sog unfortunately that didnt work
spoke to the samsung repairers here in Aus and they said they can take a look at it for me hopefully bring life back into my unit and then I will never touch it again
Any thoughts?
Hopefully this post is still being looked at but has anyone got any ideas as to what I could do before I fork out $374 to my tab repaired by Samsung Australia?
According to the repair guys its a faulty board (not an idiot that tried to flash it) and needs to be replaced. Not sure if this is worth my trouble considering I could buy a brand new tab for $599.
There is a positive out of this, the MB will be an Australian MB and I will have a working "Australian" tab instead of the Japanese version.
Considering the unfortunate tragedy in Japan I am not sure I should try and get my friend in Japan to fix it for me.
Thoughts anyone?
I know someone who can unlock it, I have mine unlocked by them.
I was afraid of flashing it myself so I paid to have it unlocked, cost was $20.
I think you better go for the MB replacement, it's cheaper.
For what it's worth, I went to reset my tab to factory using a rotohammer backup I made when I first bought it, and got stuck in a boot loop. So I then used ODIN. Still got a boot loop. Then I tried ODIN repartition... it hung for hours. Knowing the thing was likely bricked I pulled the plug and now I am in the situation as you: I have a crappy icon of a phone + an exclamation + computer image. Dead.
I think the best thing I can do for this junk is to toss it unceremoniously in the bin. Fortunately I also have an iPad which has resumed full-time service.
EDIT: Some signs of hope in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903257
Try "heimdall close-pc-screen" to see if your tab can get kicked back into the boot loop at least. Mine has failed a repartition, but I can still get it into the boot loop, which is a start. Will experiment over the weekend.
EDIT 2: Well my tab is back up and runing. I reflashed my original roto backup using ODIN with repartition on, then I went into recovery and did a factory restore. Back up like stock now. I think I'm going to sell it though, since it's been badly dis-owned by Samsung.

What ROM is best for a SC-01C?
Hi Guys
I picked up a 2nd hand SC-01C from Yahoo Auction, and am wondering what the best ROM to use with it is...
Looks like this guy has got an Overcome ROM on it OK, (http://chaki-ramone.blogspot.com/2011/06/galaxytabsc-01cgingerbreadromovercome.html), so I wonder if the latest version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205990) will work OK - anyone tried? (is the SC-01C a GSM-based model??)
I'm not going to use a SIM with it, so I'm not bothered about unlocking - but just want it rooted & want a good balance between speed & battery life. If you were going from scratch with an SC-01C, what would you do? Any suggestions greatfully received!
Thanks in advance?
PS - I'm an iPhone / iPad / Ideos 8150 / Notion Ink Adam owner, all jailbroken / rooted. So I'm not scared about rooting per-se, just worried about trying something that will not work because of anything docomo has done to the Tab!
Acont you could be coma bricked try pluginging it into THE MAINS for at least 4 hours if nothing come up your hard bricked.

I live in the UK, but bought my tab in the US as it was quite a bit cheaper than it was over here.
Sorry if it sounds all muddeled, but i just want to get it fixed!
Any help?
Thanks!

Did you install the drivers? Does Odin find your tab?
EDIT: this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315364 is CWM flashable firmware, you can't flash this with Odin!
Yeah it finds it, and i ahve the drivers installed, ahh how stupid of me lol, well atm im downloading the asian firmware from samsfirmware, which i will try to use, and then I will flash it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315364, will this work? or am i being stupid again?
Thanks for the help!
How did you brick it in the first place? What did you try to do?
If you are in Europe, why not just flash European firmware on it?
I tried to install the clock work recovery app, which when i ran crashed my tab, and it was stuck in the intro loops. I can get into the odin download mode as i said before, but thats it. Thats a fair point, but i cant find the european firmware, would much appreciate it if you could link it to me!
Thanks

*URGENT* Huge Problem with my S3 Mini

Hey XDA guys,
I've got an I8190N
I've got a pretty big problems and I need the help of your big brains.
Well a long time ago (17th September 2013) I posted a thread about a problem with my phone, when I booted up, it had this screen:
*Image should either be here or in the attached thumbnails*
So about 3 weeks ago from today I was trying to install a new CM11 ROM update from Maclaw but after I put the zip on my sd card and booted into TWRP recovery (2.6.3.0, just in case it needs mentioning), the phone shut off in the middle of the installation, I thought it was just the usual bugs I get whilst flashing ROMs so I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on.
After a couple of attempts I finally realised that it's able to go into download mode only, I think that means it's soft-bricked right?
So I kept trying to re-install the stock ROM (unroot, unbrick etc) through odin but it kept failing.
I sent the phone to repairs and they wouldn't repair it (because it's rooted obviously, I thought maybe they wouldn't know but of course they did).
I obviously can't get a replacement and start over again because the warranty is void now that I've rooted it
So now they've sent it back and it's currently a paper weight that can go into download mode and refuses to install stock ROMs through Odin.
What do I do? I really need help guys (I don't need to worry about backups because I always backup)
Please answer soon, otherwise I'll be without a phone and my phone company will keep charging me for my contract eventhough I'm not using the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help given

I believe that kies has emergency firmware that you can use to revive your phone? Try that. What does it say when it fails in odin?
hello,
so you can still go into download modus?
try the latest recovery (2.7 if i'm correct...) and flash with odin.
then try to boot into recovery and reflash the latest mclaw (or any other) non stock firmware.
think about it that you have to unzip the odin firmware package you download from maclaws site ( i forgot it and got messing around 2hours ago.... also staring at the erro in odin and thinking W*F is happening :cyclops: but then i realized i need to unzip the package...
realy good luck.....
Hi
Odin flash pit file
It just says the big black FAIL in the red background where it's supposed to be PASS in the green background
Could you guys give me download links to the PIT files, TWRP and the firmwares so I could get the right ones please?
Thanks
LOOK HERE
(i8190_goldenxx.zip) is the pitfile for I8190 only and i8190N_goldenxx.zip for I8190N version
BUT: these are NO flashable files - extract them and choose xxx.pit in Odin.

Could you give me a link to the pit file please
Do you have a link to the firmware I should use because tys0n gave me one before which was the service firmware (like 1.29gb) but it wouldn't work for this problem

Soft-bricked is good, download mode and Odin recognisable is better so don't worry we can fix this for you. First though, your English is understandable so keep it up and you didn't violate anything. You even posted in the correct section so +5 for reading.
Looks like your recovery is broken so you need to first make sure your phone is boot-able. Therefore Odin flash a stock rom (this uses the download mode) to reset everything. From there, two ways are available to install recovery, stock update or Odin flash again so choose which one suits you best. Don't use the old KitKat roms (except NightOwl) since they're unsupported. Stable ones are NightOwl roms as it's still in active development.

Thank you so much for being honest, i'm so appreciate it, okay, i've flash so many recovery system (like Philztouch), but it still stuck in TEAMWIN logo, and there is no result, and i've flash another stock rom from sammobile, i choose the one for Indonesia region, but still no result, there is no difference, or should i try to flas the ginger bread stock rom??i try so many times to find another Dr Ketan Ginger bread stock rom, because the website where he upload the data (hotfile.com) were not open in indonesia (it has been blocked for a reason) so i have to find another website that provide the data, and there is no result again, or might be it's caused by the hardware or not??

Right now you ignore all of that. Odin flash a stock rom from sammobile, then install the correct recovery based on your stock ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191. Get the Jellybean rom, it's safer and easier.
