i8190 got into bootloop, can't flash any ROM - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for my bad English
I have a problem with my phone, I received it with stock Rom but it was very slow (abnormal slow even after factory reset) so I wanted to install Maclaw's ROM (I already succesfully installed it in two other phones I8190L and I8190N)
But I encountered several problems:
First I had problems with connecting into PC (drivers already installed) ODIN didn't recognized it, I had to try in another computer and ODIN detected it, but I tried several times to flash TWRP and CWM recovery and phone passed, ODIN was ok but still had stock recovery when it rebooted.
After several failed tries, I rooted the phone via PC with vRoot and installed TWRP, I succesfully flashed maclaw's ROM via TWRP and it was faster but phone had no signal, IMEI and Baseband were null
I tried to flash latest baseband via TWRP but then it got into bootloop
I tried flashing stock ROM via Odin (in another PC by the way, mine still doesn't recognize it) and it says it is installed but when phone reboots and its in about 25% of loading it stops and gets into bootloop again
Now I can't install ANY ROM, neither via Odin or TWRP, all folders are empty after installing and rebooting
Note: I did wipe dalvik/cache every time I installed new ROMs, factory reset, etc. I tried literally EVERYTHING, I can enter into recovery and download mode so I think it is not dead yet
Any solution?

GT-N7000 won't start. Can go to recovery or download mode

Hi,
i have GT-N7000 with RocketRom v1 and CWM 5.? recovery.
Today i installed ROM manager and clicked on flash CWM recovery (at the time i did not know i shouldnt do that). Phone worked ok. I tried to make phone image/backup but it failed twice.
Phone rebooted but did not go to recovery and i didn't get any new files. So i went to recovery and made backup from there. I rebooted and i had this image files. Then i wiped data and tried to install back this backup. All went fine except somewhere in the midle phone rebooted by itself. Since then phone only boots to the "logo screen". I left it like that for 30minutes and it was still the same. I can go to recovery and download mode but i can not flash rom from recovery. I tried and it starts instaling rom but after few minutes of inactiveity phone reboots. I flashed recovery via ODIN and it is still the same. I also tried to install stock rom but i get error that phone can not read from /sdcard/ROM.
I realy need your help because this is company phone and they will kill me :/
I just tried to install AlianceROM and it started it installed and all it allso sayed that install was sucsessful but still nothing. When i start phone i see Samsung Galaxy logo and nothing more.
use PC odin... put the phone in download mode and install a stock GB rom.. if successfull .. before it boots .. reboot into recovery and do a wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, and wip dalvik.. then reboot

bootloop after battery removed (LT5)

Firstly : my note get its usb outlet broken
So I can't charge it neither send data trhough the usb
I can't use Odin
I'm on the latest LT5 stock rom, never flashed any mod (none to date)
I've installed this rom with Mobile Odin 3 days ago, with no problem at all
Yet, I just take out the battery (after having turned off the phone) and set another one
And my phone became to bootloop..
So I entered the recovery mode (which is not a fully custom recovery, there was not Nandroid backup mode...)
After a cache wipe : still bootlooping
So i've done a Factory Reset / full wipe and the phone restarted normally
But I loss all my data
What to do ? I don't want this to happen again...
sorry for bad english
Always take a backup using an app like Titanuim backup and copy the back-up files to the PC. Make sure you flash ROMs and kernels properly according to the thread.
But I've flashed nothing !!
I've just turned it off then on...
you flashed LT5 stock ROM, there must have been some issue there, flash it safely again with proper procedure. bootloop is mostly due to incorrect flashing. i advise you to flash the ROM on PC ODIN. I had installed a kernel some days back with mobile ODIN and had gotten into a bootloop which vanished after i flashed a new ROM. So better get the USB port work and flash using PC ODIN as far as possible.
I can't flash via odin, as my usb output is dead
that's what we call "Bootloop Bug" on official JB...simply flash any custom kernel for JB4.1.2.. try philz kernel,
Thanks, I will try

[Q] Booting into recovery only after installation

I´ve a issue with my S5570.
I installed cyanogen and the phone works nearly fine. But I cant install anything from Playstore and had ha "not enough memory" message. So I tried diffrent versions. I installed them with CWM v6.0.4.6, wiped data, cache and dalvik, and it worked (as the instructions want).
But with the last try my Galaxy Mini starts and goes only in the CWM Recovery, not in the Firmware. I tried to install some cyanogen versions, that worked before, but this issue still happens, only boot into recovery.
My question now, what can I try to get a working firmware on this phone? I tried to recover the OFW with Odin, but I cant, because Odin cant find my S5570. Is there a way to recover it with the recovery?
Thank you

Phone reboots randomly - can't flash anything through ODIN or recovery

So I was running a custom rom for months now for my N910T without issue but yesterday the phone suddenly rebooted by itself while I was using it and would keep rebooting roughly every 3min.
I backed up everything in TWRP and wiped everything to reboot into a clean rom like factory reset but that didn't work as everything was still there and nothing was wiped. So I tried to flash a new rom but it failed and gave an error E: cannot execute upgrade binary.
I'm on TWRP 2.8.1.1 so I can't flash a TWRP update (have to be on 2.8.4 or above) and thought my recovery was too old. I then plugged phone in download mode and used ODIN to flash a new TWRP. It would write fail every time, no matter what I changed. I tried to install different versions of recovery and used different versions of ODIN with no success.
I also changed different cables and ports. I then tried to flash a stock rom through ODIN but it also says write fail. Basically I tried everything and searched on XDA and google and tried every method I came across. Anyone have this issue or suggestions?
tldr: Phone N910T reboots from home screen, write fail flash from ODIN and fail flash from TWRP recovery. Can't use phone because it would boot to home screen for a few min then just reboot again. Help!

Yes I tried every wipe option possible. Wipe system, boots right into rom. Wipe internal, everything still there. Wipe data, factory reset, everything still there.

Then something I'm your phones been corrupted probably, your going to have to rma for a new device
has anybody come up with a solution to this problem im having serious boot and loading issues. i have flashed many roms and have never had a problem. i odin flashed the cog2 firmware then twrp flashed the tekxodus rom. something happened changing permissions with the built in setting with the rom and twrp was lost and i cant get back to a usable phone. odin flashed everything i can find for my phone and its not working everything either falis or goes to loop.
You probably corrupted your partition doing something wrong

Can't flash recovery on my S3

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
