Power off phone.
Then press home button+volume down+power until it enters download mode. If this not work your phone is probably dead.

Help me clear this out.
You have a USB JIG but it doesn't work?
Your phone cannot boot to system?
Can you boot into download/recovery mode using button combo?

Did you try boot to download mode using Terminal Emulator? (ADB USB).
If your phone did reach the boot image (blinking image/animation after the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 MINI GT-I8190" logo), there's chance to use Term Command to boot from PC, I believe.
You can find the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426 .

I don't know Wether my Phone is in the boot image,because the screen is black. If I Want to use ADB, I have to activate USB-Debugging bevore, but I can't do this if the Phone is Black.

How about charging? Working or not? If not find another battery, try it.
And just try reboot using ADB, if still nothing, probably @bejunk is right.

Paragon was the rom and the theme was black froyo (which I realize too late was for a different modem. Also I do have the drivers installed

Having a different modem shouldn't effect the booting into recovery part. It would cause a hell of FCs and get into a boot loop.

Modem is irrelevant.
Different ROM base was your problem.
you need to build a jig or buy one if your key combo does not work on the phone (usually build number 1010 or later).

what is your build number, it is a number under your battery, like 1008, 1010, etc.

try this:
1. remove sim, external sdcard, battery first;
2. run odin one-click;
3. plug in usb cable; the other end of the cable should connect to your desktop already;
4. hold vol up & down key; do not touch power key;
5. while holding those 2 keys, put the battery in; wait for a while;
hope you can get into download mode by this, otherwise, you have to wait for the jig to solve the issue.

in most cases, if you are in a boot loop and are at least getting to the ROM's boot screen, you can reboot into recovery via adb.
I am assuming you have installed the android SDK. open a command prompt and type adb reboot recovery.

I can't go to recovery mode, and dunno what Download mode is
is it battery with loading circle on it?
download mode: vol up + vol down + power button
recovery mode: vol up + power + menu.
in order to connect your phone and use odin you should go to download mode.

Yes i can, and it didnt reboot, so it means my phone isn't hard bricked
yes maybe just a soft one. You do know how to use Odin, right? You can flash a stock firmware, there's one thread who has stock firmware just follow the instructions from there. try this. Hope you fix your ace in no time :good:

Try installing the Samsung drivers yourself, I think there is one in Sammobile.com. Not sure though, or just try visiting samsung's website and download the drivers.
Just Google for Samsung mobile usb driver, i have just downloaded it few hours ago.

Hard brick?
If so, sending it to a Samsung Center is your best bet.

I experience that too last 6months to be exact, as long as you can access download mode and it is readable by your laptop/computer you can fix it, download any ONE PACKAGE stock room in firmware.com then flash it via Odin after that process finish
go to cwm
just power button + home button
then reset and wipe
please feedback as soon as you do my tips thanks!
goodluck! :good::good:

Blank Screen
I installed the wrong cwm on mine and when I tried to boot into recovery all I got was a blank screen, so I waited for a bit, then pulled the battery, turned phone on and nothing but a blank screen, tried getting into DL mode and nothing, but when I plug it into the PC, it wants to recognize as a modem instead. I think its toast, I even made a jig, tried getting into DL mode and nothing, the phone is on just no screen, it charges the battery when plugged into usb port but nothing on the screen. It had worked until I flashed cwm on it...
go to stock recovery
why don't you just enter into stock recovery and factory reset the phone , you can also flash the stock rom with odin after puting your phone in download mode . to go to recovery vol+ and vol- and power on the phone at te same time
Didn't you read? He has neither download nor recovery mode.

Samsung Galaxy 5 "recovery-reboot loop?"

Dear people,
So i tried flashing my android phone with rashr and installing Android 6.0 marshmallow, so when i went into rashr and pressed "reboot into recovery mode on boot"
it keeps booting into recovery mode, although i have a black screen when it's in recovery mode and i can tell that it's on because the phone gets warmer the longer it's on.
I've honestly tried everything on the Internet, i think i even got some viruses on my computer now, is there anything i can do?
Or am i screwed? ;c
Thanks,
Alanaaya
