Hi guys! Congrats for doing such good work!
I have a HTC Dream (T-mobile G1) which was locked at T mobile. I purchased a code online
and I unlocked it to all networks. The phone had the 1.6 Android version but I don't remember
the radio version. I downgraded it to RC29 in order to root it and install some newer version like
FROYO. The thing is the following, before I did all this I FORGOT TO TICK THE USB DEBUGGING
And now it turns on and I am on welcome screen (Tap the android for registering....)(when I have a sim card)
or no sim card and that is it (when it has no sim in it).
The problem is that I cannot install any update.zip or do any recovery etc...But I am thinking that I probably
do not have root access yet in order to do any of these. The problem now is that I stuck and I don't know what else
to do. Is there any way I can turn it all back the way it was? Or try something else?
Plus when I connect the phone to the pc it doesn't show up like a G1, it shows up as an Android device
which leads adb not to see it under devices! I tried all ways out there to make my pc recognize it as G1, but nothing.
Could anyone help? Thanking you in advance, and sorry for the long message!
Don't worry it happens to many, even if you had adb ticked it would be off by default when you downgraded. Just follow this guide, the section where it says bypass Google sign in with WiFi

Hello,
I wanted to root my S3 mini (GT-i8190, that worked but then I wanted to enter Bootloader. I downloaded EZ-Unlock 11.apk and installed it on my S3 mini. I launched the app and selected unlock and after I wanted to reboot it, it didn't work anymore... I can't enter Recovery Mode... I live in the Netherlands so I actually don't want to buy something from Amazon or so. I saw a little movie with a paperclip and graphite but that vid has been removed... HELP ME PLEASE!!!

what are you doing ???
SIII mini don´t need to unlock a bootloader.
Just follow this guide here
It's to late now... I couldn't get in Bootloader... How can I access my phone when it's hard-bricked? Maybe I can remove everything and put back the original software

what you should do is go through the sticky threads in the general section and this section before you start messing around with that phone again
But the sticky note is for an soft-bricked s3 mini... Mine is hard-bricked

So, if you press the power button, the phone don't turn on?
That's right. I also tried the 3-buttons but nothing works, not a single vibration. Even my pc won't recognize it
What happen if you charge the phone?
Nothing, the screen remains black. I tried the usb-cable on pc, a usb charger and the cable... but nothing works

You can do this: - lock bootloader
- power on device
- enable adb debugging on device
- make sure you have adb and fasboot working corectly
- connect device via usb to PC
- run RUU with administrator rights
- and from there on just follow the instructions given by software
- http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Golf
you really need the 2-4 lines i mentioned up for this to work
Well I managed to lock my bootloader and that, but when i tried to install the RUU it gave me a error. I think it might be an older version.
I think I'm going to need the 2.00.771.3 version :S
I think my phone is useless now. A bit of info, I tried factory resetting my phone (I have rooted my phone prior to this and stupidly thought that factory reset would get rid of the root) but when I reset my phone after the inital setup had gone through all menus it said setup has stopped working. Then my phone wouldn't work no apps or home screen, I could recieve calls and then go onto my settings at the top but nothing more then that, I'm not sure how I can get my phone working again now lol

Hi All.
I am looking for help and advice with regards to getting my wife's Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N working again.
My wife has been having issues with this phone restarting it's self at random on and off for the last few months, but as the phone is always in use/needed, I have been unable to have a look for the cause of the problem.
A few weeks ago the phone powered down, and would not switch back or, it would also not charge.
After removing the battery and having a closer look it seems that the battery has swollen and is no longer flat so a new replacement battery was ordered.
The new replacement battery was fitted and the phone was put on charge, the phone displayed that is was now charging, I thought all was good and just left the phone to charge.
Some time later on I tried to power on the phone, but am just greeted by "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" logo and then the phone just restarts again, and keeps on doing this.
The phone is 100% stock, it has not been unlocked or re-flashed.
The phone is on contract from Tesco Mobile, but my wife has been told by Tesco that the warranty has expired.
From searching on the forum it seems that it is quite common for Samsung phones to get stuck in this kind of boot loop.
So far it seems that there are two possible ways to fix the current issue.
1 - Power off the phone and go into boot-loader and do a factory reset.
or
2 - Re-flash the stock rom.
So I thought I would 1st try the factory reset.
So I removed and replaced the battery, Held down "Volume Up, Home, Power", I am then greeted by "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" logo and the phone just sits there.
So it now looks like the only other option is to re-flash the phone with the stock rom.
But how do I find out what stock rom that I need for this phone, as I am unable to get into the bootloader to run any ADB or FastBoot commands.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.

Download the stock firmware you prefer from here: http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...iii-mini-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82
Then follow this guide to install it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2429169
Riky720: Thank you for your reply, and the links.
I have already been reading the following guides
[GUIDE] Stock Rom - All S3 Mini
and
[GUIDE] Unroot / Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy SIII Mini GT-I8190
Can you please advice how I can find out what is the correct firmware / stock rom to download, as the phone will not boot, and I am unable to use ADB or Fastboot to pull any information from the phone.
As said before my wife got the phone from Tesco Mobile on contract, and from my understanding is that Tesco Mobile uses the O2 Network.
Looking at the list of firmware's I can't not see any listed as Tesco Mobile.
Thanks again for your time.
Best Regards.
I am still having issues with this phone, and I have been unable to progress forward.
I did start this post: Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N - Re-flashing stock rom, to try and locate the stock firmware (rom) so that I could re-flash it.
From my other post I have been able to locate the following firmware (roms) for the phone.
I8190NXXAMJ2_I8190NBTUAMJ1_BTU.zip
I8190NXXAMG1_I8190NOXXAMG1_BTU.zip
I8190NXXALL6_I8190NOXXALL3_BTU.zip
I have tried flashing all of the above firmwares (roms) one by one, but I am still having the same issue.
Can anyone please advice me on anything else that I can try.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.
I am still having issues with this phone, and would really like some help and advice.
I found this post with a similar issue: S3 Mini stuck in boot loop after flashing cm 10.2 try odin am i missing a step?
The above post pointed me here: Official ROOTED firmwares for the SIII mini - OXX csc
I have once again tried all the I8190N firmware (roms) listed, and I am still having the same issue as before.
Just to recap the issue that I am having.
The phone will switch on, get as far as displaying "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" then the phone restarts, this will on happening.
If you try to start the phone in bootloader / recovery mode the phone will just display "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" and sit there.
Powering up the phone in Odin mode seems to work fine.
Thanks again for your time.
Best Regards.

Let me understand.
Download mode is working fine and ODIN recognizes phone ?
You tried to flash stock ROM via Odin ?
But It still stucked in bootloop ?
That is correct.
Are you sure about did you find the stock ROM ?
Behind the battery there is a paper. With S/N you may understand which baseband do you have
I am not sure about the stock firmware (rom), that is why I have been asking for help and advice.
The sticker under the battery has the following details:
MODEL: GT-I8190N
FCC ID: A3LGTI8190N
SSN: -I8190NGSMH
IMEI: ******/**/******/*
S/N: R21D7D7BEJE

Are you above to advice me what is the correct firmware (rom) I need with the above details?

You should try kies. It will find the correct ROM but I didnt use it and its diffrent from ODIN
Kies does not work, when you have kies loaded and then plug the usb cable into the phone kies just shows connecting but fails to connect or do anything else.
You need to unistall ODIN. Did you entered your phone S/N and did kies download the files ?

Here are some question about Kies.
Does Kies detect a rooted device and deny its USB connection?
Or limit any feature on it?
I`m facing a problem using Odin and USB connection while
trying to flash TWRP update on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-I8190N).
i have no issue using Kies to make a backup before, so i`m guesting that`s the reason.
my solution was to uninstall Kies temporarily(keeping the backup files).
Its no major problem, just trying to communicate and share opinions in this forum.
Anyone having/had this kind of problem?

I did. Probably after done the backup via Kies, I think (not sure the exact time).
I was looking forward on flashing custom ROMs.

I have a Galaxy Note 5 for tmobile. I have been running Note 7 express rom. Also I had a backup or Hell Rom.
The problem is is I went to change the DPI settings and although I made a backup I forgot to take off the fingerprint lock or possibly delete a Google account and when the phone shut down and came back on it showed a custom boot animation. The boot animation was Biohazard.
At this time I have tried to download the last 4 firmwares DOK and PDH and the phone will go as far as to accept the boot but once it gets to where it should pass it will not. The phone will let me go into download mode however it won't let me do anything from that point and tells me that the custom binary has been blocked by FRP.
And hoping someone can help me as I can't afford a new phone at this time the phone is pristine and I'd hate to see it become a paperweight I took it in to Samsung and obviously pretended like I wasn't the one who did the damage and they said that they wasn't sure what it was or what it was doing but it wasn't working so I quickly realized that I had no help there and I thought I'd ask my brothers and sisters here.
If anyone can direct me to the right software or a proper flashing tool that might be able to get past the FRP lock please let me know as I am dying here in Ohio without my phone.
Thank you in advance all

Are you saying you tried stock firmware flash to phone? Download the stock firmware from samsung official website and flash through ODIN. If it fails try a different cable, try a different USB port (sometimes 2.0 and 3.0 fail for unknown reasons), try using windows 7 instead of 8, 8.1, and 10 or vice versa. Use a different version of ODIN. These are all common ODIN issues that cause flash to fail. Should accept a flash of completely stock firmware.
Let me know what you come up with.
