S3 mini locked in startup screen - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a problem with my phone and I need some help.
I tried to install Kit Kat 4.4.4 using recovery mode (CWM), the install process ran smoothly but it had some issues so I tried to install Lollipop 5.1.1 (CyanogenMod 12.1) 20150412 stable from novafusion using TWRP (v.2.8.1.0) but apparently I made some mistakes, I used the Advanced Wipe tool and deleted (Dalvik cache, System, cache, data, internal storage) after this I can not install any moded ROM.
The phone stays on the "Samsung Galaxy s3 mini" screen.
Can somebody help?
My phone model is GT-i8190L

looks like you need to head over to http://http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/, login & d/l original firmware for ur fone & region, then flash via odin, & start root,custom flash again.............carefully this time & be sure to make full nandroid backup before flashing so you can restore if problems occur......good luck & post again if you need more help

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.

Download MaclawStudio’s TWRP Recovery v2.6.3.0

it will solve your problem
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!

[Q] Bootloop, please fast reply.

I got Bootloop in my friends Galaxy Mini. I formatted before in CWM Recovery everything that was possible to clean phone (ROM CM 10) and now i flash S5570XWKTH firmware (it's one single package) and phone gets Bootloop. Where can I find 3-files ROM for this phone? Or maybe there is other solution?
Go to recovery mode and wipe data cache

Stock recovery is also present on this phone and you have to wipe everything just as if you would be in CWM and flashing a custom ROM. So use the same button combination for recovery, wipe data, reboot.
It works, thanks!

Go to CWM Recovery Mod and do Format Data/ Factory Reset, Format Cache partitions, Mount & Storage>Format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stat. Now try to install a working custom rom. If you still get any error, then you can only solve this by flashing the stock rom through odin. Make sure you have updated USB drivers as this can sometimes make the phone undetectable. Do post your result. Hope I helped

First upgrade your device to Gingerbread using Odin, follow this guide
hubix's guide
Then root your device and install CWM (custom recovery) in order to flash custom roms, doing backups, flash mods ... here you'll find all
Usefull Thread with lots of info and FAQ
Finally choose the rom you want and follow the dev's instructions to flash the selected rom

The latest fw it's from Vietnam?? umm
There's no problem, but I suggest you to flash an European fw in order to avoid signal/coverage troubles because of each fw includes a modem from a different area. For me the Spanish KTM is the best
thx again i can root my phone but following the hubix tuturial trying to flash the newest firmware in odin i only can find the .ops file i cant find the boot and the others... i downloaded all the files e said to download but cant find them in all those files can help me?

Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
You can find all the necessary details for flashing as well as all the firmwares in this link. If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace (just install these zip from the recovery mode),
How To Root and Unroot Samsung Galaxy Ace?
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
You can use the single firmware installation. No need to download files like boot, pda, etc separately. Also you can download the firmware near to your region. Hope I Helped

Before you do any of these things, make sure to backup you apps. Go to CWM and do "Wipe data/ factory reset" and "Wipe Cache partition". Also go to Mount and Storage> Format /system. Finally Advanced> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stat". Now reinstall the rom again. It might solve the issue. As for the stable custom rom, you can always go with CM 7 i.e. Android 2.3.7 based roms. CM 7 based roms are much stable than CM 9, CM 10 and CM 11 roms. As per xda rules, I cannot suggest you the best rom. But here is list of all roms for our Ace. You can flash this yourself to decide which is the best. Here is the link,

Hope I Helped

Once you have installed the stock rom, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur).
i did but still same problem
if i only restart the phone this doesnt happen, only when i shut it down i cant understand this and its so annoying

after flasing a stock rom via Odin, do wipe factory/reset and wipe cache in order to avoid the bootloop, but with CM10.x ROMS NEVER DO WIPES (data factory/reset) OR YOU'LL BREAK THE BOOT!!
To fix it do all the wipes and reflash the CM10.x rom following dev's thread

Try via Odin
Sent from my GT-I8190
big problem
I have the same problem after flash the last rom of maclaw (5.0.0).
Twrp recovery seems to enter in bootloop too. Also tried Odin on download mode, but the computer(windows 8.1) doesn't reconize the usb drivers (and i have installed the samsung drivers downloaded from MacLaw website).
Any alternatives?
Thank you anw
you need to perform wipe data/dalvik cache and system, you can do this via TWRP or CWM (but i recommend using TWRP since i use it every time i flash my device with new ROM)
dont forget to use the latest recovery tool that support to flash your ROM.
and after installing the ROM dont reboot it yet, you need to wipe/dalvik cache again.
i hope this help
