HI everyone

my qoestion is why this happen ? flashing Rom or changing partition system maybe break my internal storage , ?
Flashing Rom (custom on Custom ) can harm ineternal storage ?
my opinion is it not make any sense that i have no power to turning on ? if its my storage is dead i should see backlight of lcd or my button is that right ?

Try check your battery power. If it is drained, try to charge it with other s3 mini phone/stand alone charger(the one can charge your battery without phone). When charged(the battery) put in your phone and try to switch on. Make sure you check the device temperature constantly. If it does heat up a lot, take batteries out, let it cool a little, and try again.
Tell me if this work. (This just happen to me yesterday, so I'm telling by my experience, not technical knowledge). Hope it will work for you. Good luck.

how did you wipe your data? just a factory reset? Try please this:
6. How to format:
Do this every time before flashing a stock- or custom-rom!
Attention!
You will delete everything on your phone! Your phone will not even be able to boot! Only Clockworkmod and the Download-Mode will be left! (Your SIM-Card will be untouched)
Please make sure that you saved only your backups on another device before formatting your phone (like on your computer)
This is the best method for using the full experience of every custom rom! I recommend this method because in the past a lot of users had issues with custom roms. They had installed a lot of different custom roms before and they didn´t format their phone correctly before flashing the new rom. This caused a lot of problems
Enter in the Clockworkmod
Choose “Mounts and storage”
Select all after all
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data
Format /system
Format /emmc
Format /sdcard
After formatting flash again the value pack, activate usb debugging and report please then your status.
If the problem does not dissapear you should send it for a repairation...

this seems to be a hardware problem.. i think your usb port is grounded.. check if there is something stuck inside... even if you flash different roms it will still detect charging.... you can have it checked in a service center just to be sure....

[Q] I9001 doesn't start

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my Gt-I9001.
Yesterday I tried to put Rom application on my phone and now he is not responding anymore.
I selected in Clockworkmod to restart in recovery mode wich he did.
He made a properly back and started to load the Rom Siyah-s3-v1.2.6-CWM wich is incorrect for this phone. He installed it and drop dead.
He doesn't respond to the normal recovery or download buttom combo's.
There's no light, nothing on the phone.
What to do? Please help?
Thanks for your valuable time!

[Q] Can't power on after gapps flashing

Hello:
Recently reflash CM ROM and was working fine. Then I noticed that the missing of Google APKs, so without any wipe, I flash gapps from zip copied in microsd card.
Then on reboot, it loops in the boot animation for more than 10 min (I was attending a patient, I'm doctor). I removed the battery several times and the same thing happened until it stopped power on.
I did the battery trick many times, but did not turn on anymore. All that happens is that when I put the charger gives me the green LED d that the battery is charged.
I went to a workshop cel and they said it was damaged and I need to recopy the bootloader via MEDUSA ( JTAG ) . But no, it didn't worked at all. Then they said that maybe is the power button problem (but it don't turn on with battery trick !!!!)
I am very sad about this and then other technician told me that if after JTAG not raised , then it has no solution for my cell .:crying:
- Is my cel definitely brick ?
- Anyone know what to do to get it back ?
- It is true that after JTAG that doesn't work anymore, the cel definitely is broke?
Please, help me....
Note: The PC don't recognize the phone using USB cable...

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?

Xperia T dead. Help please...

It's not my first time to flashing roms. But this time i think phone dead. Here is the story: I installed cm12 and wipe system flash cm 14 adn finally today i flashed cm13 and i loved it. But when i opened file explorer i see internal storage is 2gb(before flashing it is 10gb). When i opened TWRP 3.0.2 i see another legacy sd partition. I think if i will format this partition i can get 10gb internal storage back. And i formatted legacy sd using twrp. But when i push reboot system now phone turned off and never go back. no any red or green light. I'm sure phone have min 50% charge and battery new(not battery problem). I tried remove battery but it is not work. When connect it to pc see this on bottom right corner ''QHSUSB_DLOAD'' and no driver found and no any light on phone. What can i do now? Flash tool and Emma dont recognize device.

Hi! i have de same problem right know... i format de lagacy sd and now is bricked like your phone.
Did you solve IT?
Hi. Generally when the phone doesn't respond, you had to consider it hard bricked, and there's no solution that you can apply without putting the hands on the Hardware. My advice is to try let it charging for 24+ hours and see if something happens. For example if the led turns on, probably you are in soft brick and you can bring it back to life. There's a tread here in XDA explaining the importance of charging cycles for the late 2012 Sony devices.
In my case I couldn't flash nothing on xperia T until I haven't let it charging for 25 hours straight. Then I was able to bring it back to life.
Hope you can do the same. In any case, good luck.
I might be reckoning wrong, but I believe I've recovered my T several times using stock firmware in such case.. Then go again with CM or whatever.

after+ 12hr of charging i see blinked red every 2 mint .... what can ido for this ??plz help sorry for bad english
Sorry for the late reply. Its a good sign, so now you know your phone its not hard bricked. There's hope!!! Let it charge for other 12+ hours and you should see the blinking red led becoming continuous. Then you could try flashing a kernel and a custom recovery, if it works you can try flashing a ROM. Alternatively you can try to flash a stock ROM via flashtool.
Anyway now you know the phone it's alive, keep trying and you will able to bring it back to life.
Many thanks for you pro.... but usb not recognized or appear like "Qualcomm driver ..any advice ....any way I could leave it in charger and try again....Thanks for ur reply...
Maybe you can try, if you didn't already, to install the latest Sony flashtool, browse the installation folder, search for drivers and use the installation tool to reinstall the blue board 3 drivers (if you are using win 10 you may need to disable the driver signature to install the drivers properly).
I got the same problem with my Xpetia T, here I will report the steps I followed:
1. The phone didn't respond to any command, even to hard reset (pressing power button and volume + for 10s until you don't feel 3 vibrations, not recommended to do that, but I was a little frustrated).
2. I let it charging for a bit then I tried to flash a stock ftf file ( Installing the drivers just how I explained at the beginning) via flashtool. I managed to put the phone in flash mode but the procedure failed when the program started to flash the system file.
3. So I let it charge for 25h: in the first 5h no led showed up, then blinking red led, then continuous red led and finally continuous green led.
4. After that I retried to flash a stock ROM via flash tool but the procedure failed again when it was flashing the file system.
5. So I made a desperate try: I flashed all partitions but system via flash tool, then I extracted the system partition opening the ftf file with a zip manager and I used the fastboot functionality in flashtool to flash the system partition.
6. After I did that, I didn't see any improvement and I decided to put the phone in charge again and..... The kernel battery charging symbol appeared!!!
7. I let the phone charge over night then I booted it up! He booted in provisory mode and I managed to turn on USB debug and I gave permissions to my PC.
8. Then I installed TWRP via adb and so Linage 14.1 custom ROM.
The only problem I found it's my battery is practically dead, so I will try to replace it by my self in near future (this phone as known battery issues)
This is the method I followed, I don't know if is equally good for your case but I Hope this steps somehow help you.
