I'm not sure what my problem is.... - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Verizon Samsung galaxy S3 mini (golden)
Stupid me forgot to back up my stock Rom before I tried to flash recovery. I flashed it and now it won't even go into recovery and when I reset my phone I get to the Samsung loader and I get the custom lock. I'm stuck and not sure what to do.

[Q] Odin flash success but no effect

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 !

Please help me

Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i-9305
Hello everyone, first post and I need help :crying::crying:
Today I tried backing up my rom on CWM recovery but it was always getting stuck on "Generating MD5 sum"
So I decided to switch to TWRP. I downloaded the TWRP app from the play store. I picked my device, picked the latest
version and downloaded. Then the app asked me if I wanted to reboot into recovery (something like that, I don't exactly remember what it was) and I pressed yes. The phone turned off and rebooted however I don't know what happened but now my phone is starts, shows the [Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i-9305] screen for about 3 seconds then goes black and again shows the [Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i-9305] screen repeatedly. I don't know what to do :crying:
My phone is rooted with CM11 flashed. So I can't give it in for a repair as they would be able to tell if I am rooted because of the KNOX warranty void: 1 thing :crying::crying: What can I do now??
NOTE: I can't reboot into recovery, only bootloader.
can you reboot into downloading mode ((home+power+volume-)?
if yes, with odin, try to flash again the recovery (i prefer PhilZ recovery on my i9305) and later try to backup your phone.

S3 Mini i8200N stuck in loop to PhilZ recovery menu. Can't get into OS

So I have an S3 Mini i8200N. I flashed it with philz recovery after rooting with vroot, then flashed a deodixed rom somewhere on here. I have the same rom on my memory card but when I flash it I'm still stuck in the recovery. I can't boot it to enable usb debugging, and the computer (Windows 10) doesn't seem to be able to detect it. Is there any way to fix it or is it totally bricked? Was about to flash it back to stock for my cousin to have it. If it is a brick i'll just replace the screen on hers with the one from this so no biggie either way. Thanks
Is it working now that you flashed stock? If so try using twrp instead & a different custom rom

Cant Flash Custom Recovery on my s3 mini

Hello, I have tried to flash a custom recovery via odin but it doesnt work.
So I got a new s3 mini since my old broke (Display break) and decided to install cyanogen mod from maclav
I have installed cyanogen mod bevor on my "old" Handy and it worked fine,
But now, When i try to install TWRP or CWM via odin i gut get "Reset" and no "Pass" and when i try to boot into the recovery it is just stuck at the logo and doesnt do anything other.
So i cant get into the recovery, Did i miss something ?
What am i doing wrong? and can i get a link to a recovery cant find a right i think i tryed many i found but i think that migh
Make sure using right recovery for your S3 mini variant, i8190 and i8200 are different devices and don't share the same recovery.

Galaxy Mini S5570 stuck in recovery

I got CM11 to work on my S5570, but after factory resetting the device to give it to a friend it refused to reboot to the CM11 or any other custom ROM I've tried. Instead it just reboots to recovery, any suggestions?
