Hi, today after my phone suddenly died without reason, and then my phone just looping on splash screen ( SAMSUNG GALAXY S-III Mini GT-I8190 ). Before I start this thread, I already google it, and I found this and this maybe so many out there with almost same case and zero solution.
Yeah, Stock Recovery and Download Mode still accessable and I already tried:
Wipe Data/Cache on recovery
Flash Stock Firmware using odin, With/without PIT.
Flash Param
Try different odin version.
Flash bunch of different version custom recovery, TWRP and CWM.
Flash CM11 Maclaw using odin.
But my phone still same, nothing changes, even I already flash custom rom, and my Stock Recovery still there.
Flashing with no error, but I have error log in Download Mode, movi_write_card status:2 with red font.
I can't flash anything with that. This is hardware problem? eMMC? If anyone have suggestion would be appreciate, thanks.
Sorry for my english.

I had a russian stock 4.1.3 firmware on my i9070 with standard samsung recovery and it was kinda buggy(Google Play wouldn't work) and I decided to flash TWRP (yes, I now realize it couldn't have worked since it is for gingerbread) and I got stuck in boot screen with no recovery. The only solution I could think of is to flash stock JB again, so I downloaded stock Romania(Cosmote) Firmware and tried to flash it with both Odin v1.87(with and without pit file) and v3.07 and Odin gave me a PASS each time, but I am still stuck in boot screen with no recovery.
Clearly I am doing something wrong, and it probably is something I should have read somewhere, but there are so many details that I don't know where to start looking...
Later Edit:
It finally booted! Sorry for the new thread.
I don't know why it wasn't working with the Romanian firmware but I used the Greece one and it works fine.
Hi, my friend is facing same problem. Its showing PASS always.
But, its not booting to custom recovery.
It goes to samsung recovey and says "Downloading"
How you got it cleared? Do u need to wait at that previous screen?

If you are flashing custom recovery, but you still have stock Samsung recovery, you are clearly doing something wrong.
When I flashed custom recovery, I had JellyBean Android installed and the recovery was made to work with Gingerbread, so it wouldn't boot recovery at all.
Since you are still getting the standard Samsung recovery, you haven't flashed the custom recovery correctly.
I suggest you retrace your steps and find some tutorial that could help you with your problem HERE.
When I couldn't access recovery, I just flashed stock JellyBean again with Odin.
Hi,
So basically I ended up with a boot loop somehow..long story. I cannot access my recovery..only my download mode.
I've already tried the following :
- Flash stock ROMs(All - JB, ICS, GB using Odin)
After flashing, All stocks ROM's go in a boot loop of the intro animation and glowing Samsung repeating again and again.
- Tried a FULL Flash - used a PIT file with a md5 of a stock ROM. Re-partition basically. Still boot loops.
Anyone has any clue what's going on here? Tried everything and thought it through and can't figure why it won't boot even after a re-partition happened successfully.
Would appreciate any help,
Cheers
Why can't you access recovery? What happens when you press the 3 button combo? Try with and without the USB cable plugged in. You could also try flashing philz kernel from Odin and then try if you have access to recovery. Then a data wipe should get you booted.
Flash some kernel with cwm, go to cwm and wipe data. After that just flash any ROM You want and it should work.
Sent from note, a phone like never before
its will be fixed with flashing the right rom..
im facing that kind of trouble too last night.. but succesfully fixed it with flashing with jellybean firmware..

It sounds very much like the same kind of problem that I am having, but the phone I am trying to fix is 100% stock.
Here is my post: Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N - Stuck in bootloop
If you do find a fix for your problem please do report back.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.
i fix the issue by using odin 3.07 and using the firmware below
I8190NXXALL6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122548&highlight=root
i went to download mode
and flash the firmware.
it then booted normally then i had issue with encryption but i solve this easily by going back to custom recovery and wipe data cache etc.
Hope this works for you
TWRP
In TWRP make factory reset and clear dalvik and cache! That should do it!
Thanks for the info, but unfortunately this has not worked with the phone in question and I am still having the same issue.
the galaxy tab 8.9 is quite aged so i thought that i could pump some newer juice in it. bad luck, it got bricked. stuck at the samsung logo, bootlooping over n over
it started when i tried to install twrp, my current recovery is cwm. currently, i can only boot into download mode. so, i tried flashing back cwm, twrp and even stock recovery but all of it failed. i also tried flashing another stock rom but it also failed. odin didnt even tried, it stucked at "SetupConnection"
can anyone hand out a helping hand?
when i tried to reboot it back now, it asks me to "select recovery from kies" something like that about an error.

I have a similar problem. I am waiting for tablet to die (battery dead) then plug into wall charger and it should bring up download mode.
Do you have the LTE model?

Going to necro this because I've had the same problem as the OP (but not 2nd message).
I had CWM 5, tried to flash TWRP (so I could get Nougat), ended up with no recovery bootable. Can anyone help me get back with a recovery?
Tried to flash TWRP 3 but stuck at "failed". The tab was stuck in like 2% status, and wouldn't respond to Odin commands to flash again, so I had to reboot it.
Then there was no recovery I could boot into (icon would just flash when I tried to enter recovery from bootloader menu).
If I don't try to boot into bootloader menu, it sometimes would show the message "Software update failed", but would still accept Odin flashing.
I tried flashing via odin TWRP 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, CWM 5.5, Stock recovery and all did not work. TWRP <=2.7 and CWM would flash OK but still could not enter it, icon would just flash the icon but not change screen.
It doesn't display "Software update failed" screen anymore, but when I try to boot it normally with power button, it will always go into bootloader mode. If I restart with power + vol -, it would go into bootloader menu for you to choose between recovery and bootloader mode.
What should I do next to get a recovery back?
I haven't tried from Odin flashing a full stock image since I can't find a working download link anymore since hotfiles and devhost are down. Does anyone have a .tar or .tar.md5 for Odin flashing they could link me?
Never mind. I managed to find a stock image flashable by odin, flashed that and recovered stock recovery (and a stock ROM). I used the stock recovery to flash TWRP and then used TWRP to flash a new ROM, and all seems to be well now!

It is not possible with Stock recovery to flash the TWRP Recovery.
I think your Stock image has an CWM Recovery ( its a modified Stock Recovery ) and it is possible to flash TWRP.

Hi, that's great news! Would you be able to share where you got the ROM from and what version of Odin you used (and where you got it) please?
I am stuck on the boot screen with my GT-P7300. The stock images I have found so far don't flash through Odin and also fail in the recovery.
Many thanks in advance

Hello, just bought an used i8190. Since last friday i have been trying to flash a custom recovery on this phone via Odin, but after i flash it returns to the default recovery on next boot.
Yes, i have unchecked the "Auto-reboot" option on Odin. I turn off the phone and then manually enter recovery but with no results. I rooted the phone pretty easily and installed both TWRP and CWM apps to flash from android, but they don't work either (twrp crashes always and CWM just gives me an error.
Mi baseband model is XXAll2
kernel is 3.0.31 [email protected] (root name seems weird)
I searched the forum and found similar cases with the baseband, but even so i haven't found a concrete solution.
I even flashed a new pre-rooted rom from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Mi compilation number has changed to XXAMG1 but the baseband remains the same. I can't flash a recovery whatever i try.
I hope someone can give me an answer, cause i really want to use this phone feautures to it's fullest
Update:
Somehow, i managed to flash CWM via it's app successfully. However, when i tried to flash the TWRP via zip all i got was a blank screen and the phone booted directly to Android. I had to reflash the cwm with the app. However, i tried flashing via odin the Lineage os 14 from novafusion and i got a bootloop, reflashed the old stock firmware and now my device works but the recovery doesn't, and can't even flash this time via the app.
I tried flashing via ODIN stock recovery and other recoverys and i still get the same result. I have downloaded some stock roms, but im afraid to flash them in case i end up in a bootloop and unable to access recovery still
Any clues?

Flash the stock rom as it will fix bootloops and bricked devices. Make sure to have the right ROM and flash it with Odin. The os may take longer on first boot and make sure to factory reset it as data may cause bootloops, then try flashing the recovery.
I flashed twrp 3.1.1 through Odin
