Hello,
I am really stuck with a S3 mini 8190 I messed with,
I was on XXALLJ,
then flashed CWM 6.0.2.7 with ROM Manager,
Flashed a couple of ROMS just for testing (CM10, worked) then (Carbon, Virginity) stuck at boot logo.
With that, I find my phone looping at Samsung S3 mini GT-I8190 screen,
indefinitely restarting,
When I tried coming back to stock ROM using Odin,
I go through the process with a Success,
but nothing happens in real,
Tried dozens of ROMS, Kernel, param, Stock recovery,
all with success, but Nothing happens when booting,
even when trying installling ROMS with CWM,
it says installed, but nothing happens when rebooting,
Seems Like something keeps coming back to CWM 6.0.2.7,
or protecting the custom recovery and the messed ROM.
and it's Boot looping at the Samsung S3 mini GT-I8190 screen,
I don't understand.
Heeeelp !!
Hello,
Managed to find on some threads what seems to be the problem,
I may have messed with the R/W permissions,
and now nothing I flash is effective.
How can I correct this ?
Even trying repartitioning with PIT file can't be done with ODIN,
it says FAIL !
Heeelp !

Hi. My last firmware was from late 2010 (it was a custom if it matters).
Now I decided to update to 4.0.4 and selected a CM9 firmware. I did as usually, made a backup, factory resetted and cleared cache.
Then after I updated to that new firmware my phone got stuck in the first boot screen where it says like "Samsung GT-I9000" etc.
I wasn't able to get to recovery mode but I managed to get to download mode and I flashed a 2.3.6 firmware which I believe was stock (got it from sammobile.com). However it didn't help as now I'm stuck in endless boot animation where the "S" flashes and sometimes it just starts the animation again but nothing else happens .
I tried installing another kernel, then installing the CM9 firmware but then it just boots endlessly to recovery mode.
Now I have the stock 2.3.6 firmware installed with nothing else, still can't get past the boot animation. Anyone could tell me what to do or is my phone a brick?
Is your phone rooted? Do you have cwm?

Firstly I don't think its bricked if you can access download and recovery mode ....
I recently did the following to fix everything wrong with my phone.
I flashed to a stock rom (gingerbread 2.3.3)using Odin, then rooted my phone again. Then I flashed darky's rom (GB 2.3.6). After that i flashed tiramislim 9 (ICS 4.0.4) & that worked out for me. Hope i helped.
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,
I just upgraded my old S3 Mini (GT-I8190) with a custom CyanogenMod ROM (NovaFusion), and it seemed to work just fine except for the camera not working properly. That's why I wanted to revert back to the original TouchWiz, and so I made the genius move of attempting a factory reset.
Now I'm stuck in a bootloop, after the screen saying "S3 Mini blablabla" TWRP keeps trying to boot, but gets stuck on the logo screen everytime after a second or two and just keeps rebooting. I've tried flasing NovaFusion again, flashing the recovery again and using some PARAM and WIPE .tar files over Odin, but to no avail.
Does anybody know what to do here? Is my phone a goner?
Thanks.
Maybe you could try full data wipe & then flash original firmware from sammobile via Odin

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.
After a successful root, I tried to install twrp custom recovery, so I downloaded the appropriate .img file and flashed it using Odin, but the device never entered recovery mode when I attempted to, it only showed the Samsung logo and freezed there, but it could boot up normally to the system, so I tried the adb command "reboot recovery", it rebooted and freezed at the Samsung logo again but this time it also did the same whenever I tried to boot up the system, I am sure this can be fixed but I don't know how, Please help.
Hi,
make sure that you didn't mix up the 2 diffrent S3 minis I8190 and i8200 .....
It thats all okay. I would try to flash TWRP via ODIN again. Sometimes it helps.
If not it could be lots of other problems. e.g. your PITfile could be mixed up, .........
It would help to know which Version of the S3 mini you have, which TWRP you used. Wich HOWTO you followed to Flash it, etc pp.
