So I booted to recovery, did a clean wipe of everything, installed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...0-1-5-77-debloated-deodexed-zipalign-t3015281
Then I guess I realize that it isn't a full rom, it is meant to be flashed over another one.
So now phone does not boot and I can't even get to recovery.
Any hope or tricks?
Reflash stock tft via flashtool without wiping userdata to safe internal sd. Then root and install dualrecovery. Since u have no recovery u have no other choice

As you have rooted, install ROM Manager from the Market, use that to install ClockworkMod recovery and then use it to backup what you have. Finally you can use it to flash the ROM you want as a zip from the SD card, and if memory serves, it'll ask you to wipe as well.

Hi harris,
Can you flash gb thru stock odin? of course you can... is it safe? yes it is.
I think the rule of law in flashing any custom roms, just to be in a safe side, is to always downgrade first to stock GB and work your way up in flashing whatever custom rom you would like to flash your phone to.
By the way, don't forget to wipe data once your already in stock GB (before upgrading again to whatever custom rom your going to flash)

thanks alot.:cyclops:
sounds like you just need to flash a kernel, i have had this issue before something with the kernel screws up and doesnt boot
Just put your phone in download mode and flash a custom kernel via pcodin. That will be okay. or if its not you have to flash a GB rom using PC Odin. Remember to do wipes after flash

after flashing a safe kernel or after you gone to GB (whichever is the case),yes you can go to CWM and wipe data from there.
Flash prerooted gb rom and wipe cache,delvic cache n data
Not necessary immidiately wipe, most probably you will face force closes on bootup.after flash, nothing to worrt, it will b solved with wipes.
Once evrything fine.after wipe, you can proceed to next step with cwm if you want to flash.custom rom, or with mobile odin if you want to flash stock ROM.

thank you guys i will tell you after the flashing.
I formatted system (through CWM) and now the phone is stuck at the LG logo when it boots. I can access CWN and (i think, i've not tried) S/W Upgrade. There is a way to boot my phone without wipe data or lose my file?
Thanks, oh and sorry for my english

flashing a new system not have repercursions to content of internal sdcard or external sdcard.
you lose app installed and configurations of device and apps.
for flashing via CWM you have more choises:
- install zip from internal or external sdcard
- apply sd-card update.zip if you have one on sd-card. in that case you not lose nothing.

Yes, but you did not state what ROM you were using.
If you were using CM or another custom ROM you can use the 'adb sideload'-functionality to reinstall it. This requires setting up adb on your computer, for instance using the files for rooting the v20a LG installation and installing the correct drivers. The phone should then boot normally with (nearly) all your data intact.
If you were using an LG ROM (which I doubt since you already installed CWM) you need to use one of the flash methods listed in this subforum to reflash your ROM. If you install the exact same ROM it should boot fine with (nearly) all your data intact.
If the phone still won't boot using one of these methods, clear the caches first and reboot.
Thanks for the answers!
However I reflashed all again (wipe data/cache -> Install zip From SD Card)

what image you used to reflash stock?
I didn't reflashed the stock ROM, but Zaiben v3
I was curious about installing custom roms so i decided to try. I successfully had rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader and i just needed CWM recovery so that I could install CM11 custom rom. I didn't put the custom rom on my phone because I'd figure I would do it after installing CWM but after flashing CWM, I couldn't even go into my stock rom! I tried everything from formatting the cache to the data, I even have TWRP flashed as well but no luck there. I don't want to mess with my phone anymore because I am quite frankly, scared. So all I want to do is remove CWM and TWRP recovery, and flash my stock rom. Oh, and I tried to flash the stock rom with flashtool, that didn't work either
Thanks for the help!
UPDATE: I DOWNLOAD ALL THE DRIVERS FOR FLASHTOOL AND TRIED INSTALLING MY STOCK ROM THROUGH FLASH BOOT AND IT WORKED! SO FAR SO GOOD.
UPDATE 2: ITS WORKING. ALL I DID WAS LOCK MY BOOTLOADER WITH FLASHTOOL AND FLASHED THE STOCK ROM!
I think you could mount the usb storage from CWM, so you could copy the rom you wanted and install it? You could have saved a lot of hassle loool
Hello, I have an s3 mini I8190N model, with CM 11.0 kitkat 4.4.4(cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108) installed on it since nearly its release, the phone worked very fine, till today I entered the ROM manager app and pushed the "Boot to Recovery" button, so now it doesn't boot neither to the system nor to the recovery. I remember having CWM on it.
What I get now is only the "Samsung S3 mini..." splash screen, nothing else.
I have these files ready on my computer:
Recovery-CWM-I8190-Official-TOUCH-6.0.2.7.ODIN.zip
cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108.zip
What should I do now ??
You probably soft bricked your phone, I suggest you to check if you still can go into download mode and flash with Odin a wipe file and then a stock rom, once it is working again flash twrp recovery instead of cwm with Odin and try not to use rom manager, I've heard it causes the brick you have.

Not if you flash the wipe file, you can try flashing the stock rom without the wipe but It's recommended to do a clean install. Another option is to flash a file called PARAM to see if it solves the bootloop. But the way I fixed a softbrick in my phone was flashing param, wipe and stock rom in that order with Odin.
Are you able to go into recovery?

I will install TWRP through Odin v3 on the phone, then I'll flash without wiping data, then I'll recover necessary data(especially contacts) and then redo a clean install with wiping all the rubbish files.
I will tell you after I follow these steps on whether it was successful or not.
Thank you very much!

No problem, flash the custom recovery after the stock rom though.

Effectively, I installed the missing recovery software (TWRP), and after that I selected from the boot menu in TWRP the "System" entry, then it booted fine and I didn't lose any of my data. Though I have to make a clean flash next time, by cleaning the dalvik cache... etc.
Thank you for your support!
