Samsung Galaxy Mini problem recovery mod

I bricked with black screen my galaxy mini and I went to my servis where they repaired but I noticed a problem the factory data reset not working,working but not reset the phone and recovery mod not working(home + power = does absolutely nothing) download mod end ramdebug work.
What can I do to working recovery mod end factory data reset?
Froyo or Gingerbread ? For GB, head over to dev section, look for Andro-ID thread and search for Enhanced Recovery (XXKPF). Or maybe you could flash a full FW using Odin

I use Gingerbread 2.3.4 S5570XXKPK kernel version [email protected] #1
is risky to make me go full flash without a recovery mod?
Full flash with one package or 4 files ?
After your phone was repaired, did you already have XXKPK installed (by Samsung guys) or you just flashed it yourself when you got home ?
Anyway it's not about one package or multi-files; it's about how many files are actually going to be flashed.
Open your TASS.OPS (just use notepad or any text editor) and you'll see a list. These are the complete name of files that Odin should flash to internal system partition.
Now each time you want to flash firmware using Odin, extract all the archives if you have multi-package (even .tar.md5 should be extracted using WinRAR or any app you choose). Count how many files you have. Find out what's missing from total of 10 files in TASS.OPS. Chances are your firmware file already has recovery.img in it. If so, then proceed with flashing. If not, find other FW that has it.
Btw, XXKPK is for eastern europe, so in case you need other FW, make sure you use from similar region.

Yikes ! Try flashing this recovery mod (from Mediafire) :

You can put it in PDA section in Odin.
Edit :
You need to rename the file
from
xxxrecoverytar.md5
to
xxxrecovery.tar.md5

If I try to make full flash with another version( S5570XWKQG) After installation will go working recovery mod ? Is risky to make full flash if not working recovery mod?

Maybe yes, maybe not. We don't know, unfortunately.
When you flash recovery.img (either from full flash or just a single recovery mod), Odin will flash it into recovery partition. So, in theory, your existing recovery partition will be overwritten by recovery.img
Btw, it's past midnight here, so I'm off, hope you work it out right.

And if I put a new firewall (full flash) the recovery mode (home+power) will work??

[Q] Galaxy S stuck on boot screen

hello,
I try'd to install cm7 but it failed.
i can go in download mode and in recover mode but in recover mode i got :
E: unknown volume for path [/data]
.......... ( and more errors )
what can i do?
i dont have clockworkmod...
i was on I9000XXJVO and if i can recover it by using odin give me a download link for an rom (A)
here
You could have found this if you used the search button.
Generally your error can be resolved by flashing a stock ROM with PIT and partition ticked.
Stock rom can be found at sammobile.com..
thanks i fixed it now and rooted my phone but can i install a custom rom of will i get the bootloop?
Custom rom use new version of recoveri. When you went in bootloop pull out battery, and put it back and then enter in recovery and flash custom rom

well there are some custom rom that after applying it the phone is stuck on bootloop usually you just have to remove battery then install the update again..
btw just follow the instruction on to how to update to your chosen custom rom and make sure you followed the pre requisites as to avoid bricking your phone...
there are some custom rom that requires certain firmware before you could actually update to that custom rom. like if you need to be on xxjvz update your phone to xxjvz first then apply the custom rom.
try sammobile.com... for some stock firmware if ever you needed to update to it...
Unbrick
Thanks this was the only thing that surpised me on galaxy player

fail to root

hi i have galaxy mini just buy it new not used and i fail to root in every ways in internet ... why ???​
First of all, Never use bolded and big font !
Second, what kind of root menthod are you using ?
The best is : update.zip
- Download update.zip for galaxy mini (many on the internet)
- Power Off your phone
- Press Power + home button (center button)
- Use volume up and volume down to navigate
- Select install updates.zip / anything that same.
- Reboot
Check if you rooted.
If you have a skull android, in your app drawer that's mean you successfull rooting your mini.

You sure you got the correct zip file? Here's a link:

If that fails too, try doomlord's way (follow instructions in the link below):

i have meet the same problem!!!! Error, status 7!
So this is my story! - i have rooted my 2.3.4 after that i`v installed cyano, and than back u 2.3.6 xwktn and i could not root the f... phone. and i decided to try a another custom rom and tried Emanon and than back to 2.3.4 and rooted the phone, i didn`t like it and got back to 2.3.6 and i rooted it very easy!
And this days i did the same thing and worked againe. SO THE WAY TO ROOT YOUR 2.3.6 is to go back to 2.3.4 no need to root this one, and than install 2.3.6 an root with the UPD_1.zip with the stock clockworkmod and it should be the first thing that u do!!! if u thing it`s to much try a diffrent method if u find one that i`v not tryed yet)
I hope it was helpful!!!
other way
Dude install clockwork mod and directly flash any custom rom even those are rooted directly
you can even try the doomlord's method of rooting
you can try UnlockRoot v2.4.2 It's Usefull
Good Luck
was getting this with a stockfirmeware just installed a custom rom on top, came with root and all.
try using zergrush exploit from doomlord, before that u must have installed kies/driver on your pc ..
and enable usb debug ..

The binary error 5 means it is not the correct rom for your device. This could be because the ROM got corrupted when flashing.
1. Press your power button and volume up until it goes into the recovery section.
2. Click on reboot and select Download.
3. Connect your phone to your laptop and flash the stock image.
4. Root your phone.
5. Install twrp.
6. Download the correct ROM or redownload and make sure it doesent get corrupt in the process.
7. Make a full backup of your device through twrp in case this happens again.
8. Flash the custom ROM.
9. If anything goes wrong, just restore the backup.
