i8190N Boot Loop Problem - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used Odin to install CM11 on my I8190N and I was running it quite happily for a while, but after some time I decided to go back to the stock ROM.
After I used Odin to flash the stock ROM, I ended up in a boot loop.
I've since tried a few different stock ROMs and they flash with success, but every time I'm stuck in a boot loop.
The phone is not rooted and it doesn't have a custom recovery so I can't wipe/reset it.
Is there anything I can do?

Can you put it into download mode by pressing Vol Down, Home and Power ???

[Q] Help! Phone-!-Computer problem.

Odin crashed while I was flashing back to an eclair rom and now download or recovery won't work. I'm stuck at Phone-!-Computer. What do I do now!?
Does that Jig thing work or should I give my phone into be serviced?
Help me XDA!!
remove the battery for 10-15 minutes, and put it back in. try to enter download mode Volume Down+Home+Power
You don't need recovery mode to flash something, you need download mode (which normally should work). If you can enter download mode, you can flash a stock rom and it should be sorted.
If the "flash" process got interrupted when it was about to flash the bootloader, there might not be very much you could do, since without that bootloader you can't actually boot into neither download nor recovery, but since that image is really small, the chance that it got interrupted there is very small.

[Q] [q] Boot loop?

Hi,
in preperation for the ICS release coming soon, i thought id flash my gnote back to a stock rom. I am going from RocketRom version 22 (i did have cwm and rooted)
I booted my device into download mode using the jig and using odin 1.85 put the file : into pda
N7000XXLA6_N7000XXLA4_N7000XEULA1_HOME.tar.md5
it says the flash went successfully and upon restart the phone just loops on the samsung galaxy swirly logo.
Is there something im missing?
please help!
sorry for panic, managed to fix by booting into recovery menu and wiping to factory defaults....thanks
Pull out your battery, wait for a bit, put it back in.
Boot into Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and cache wipe. Reboot.
That ought to help.
Edited: wasn't quick enough.

i9305 bricked. Vol UP button broken: can't go to DL mode

Hello,
I tried to flash twrp on a stock i9305 through Odin.
It initially seemed unsuccessful (rebooting to stock recovery) until i rooted the phone and flashed twrp again.
From twrp i then tried to flash RR rom but it refused (don't remember detailed message). I decided to give up and reboot.
The phone stays stuck on samsung logo.
I removed the battery. Restarted with 'home+volDown+power'
All i can get is the screen telling me to press VolUP to flash a ROM. My issue is that the VolUP button does not work.
I tried to remove it and press with a pin to no avail.
I can't use adb (not recognized)
Odin sees the phone but can not flash anything as the phone is not in DL mode...
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot!

I suggest to get a USB jig. I've always one at home. Bought mine on eBay for about 2€. Just search the web.
Thanks. Just looked it up. I'll give it a shot :good:

HELP! Bricked s10 after trying to flash GSI havoc rom

Yesterday I was trying to install gsi havoc rom on my s10 g9730f and seem to have bricked it. I was following this tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Quba4DSvLc
and installed this rom:
ARM64-AB: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hav...mg.xz/download
from this page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...e-development/havoc-os-3-3-gsi-archs-t4076903
I managed to flash TWRP with odin fine and booted into twrp recovery. I then performed the wipes, flashed dm no verity and then the rom. The rom booted first time (but didnt go into any set up, just went straight to the rom as though I had already set it up, which I thought was strange).
After looking around the rom and not liking it much, I shut the phone down with the intention of going back into recovery to try and flash a different rom or flash it back to stock. The phone shut down but is now stuck showing the charging circle only. It wont turn on, I cannot boot into download mode by pressing Vol down + Bixby and plugging the cable in, and I am unable to boot into recovery by pressing power, vol up and bixby. The phone seems completely dead. My computer/odin wont recognise it if I plug it in, and adb devices doesnt find it either.
All I can think of now is to leave it long enough so the battery might drain out and then I might be able to get back into download mode to flash back to stock.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anything I can do? Or is it totally dead? Any help would be massively appreciated!!
Download Official Rom from Sammobile and flash it via Odin from PC.
ok crisis averted, i was too quick to assume it was bricked, i just tried again and have somehow managed to boot into download mode after all and am flashing back to stock now

im not quite sure, i was trying all the different button combinations again (which i had tried many times previous), and i think it was when i was holding power and volume down for a while, that suddenly the white charging circle went off and after being completely black for a few seconds, the samsung logo appeared, at which point i managed to boot back into the device. It obviously wasnt bricked but was definitely stuck. I shut it down again and this time it shut down properly, then managed to boot into download mode and have just flashed it back to stock.
i wish it wasnt so difficult to root s10s, its frustrating
