No recovery mode, no download mode, what I can do? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi comunity, a few days ago I got this Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190, and it's locked with too many pattern attempts. Anyway, as usual I wanted to perform a hard reset so I can fix the problem, but apparently from here is the big issue. When I try the key combo (Volume Up + Home button + Power), the only thing wich appears is the loggo of the mobile then it shuts off, and when I try once again just boots normal, without going to recovery mode. Same thing with download mode, I can't acces it. The only key combination wich apparently works is Vol UP + Power and then it says "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE". I can't go in recovery trough ADB because the mobile have USB Debugging OFF, so any connection with the pc is f**ked up. :crying:
Concluzion: No acces to recovery mode or download mode, no acces to mobile settings, imposibble conection with a computer, how the hell I should fix this mobile? Any ideeas?

in recovery try:
wipe data/factory reset
this will wipe your data so if you can get it working some other way and/or dont want to loose your data dont do it
You're more lucky, you can easly flash it correctly trough odin and/or cwm/recovery.
Somtimes you'll need a adb trick getting into downloadmode if it aint working with connecting it to ODIN without kies, having a CMD open typing from the folder "adb reboot recovery" en hit enter/return when the the COM port is flashing yellow in ODIN.
What stage of flashing from Odin did this happen? It should go into download mode. Try disconnecting power and battery and waiting a few minutes. If you cant do that, return the phone. If they wont replace the phone, there is a way of forcing the phone into download mode using the following

If you do get to download mode, reflash to a stock Eclair following the instructions carefully

[Q] Galaxy s stuck in recovery mode (home button not working) !!

Hello,
My home button on galaxy s i9000 was out of order. Then i could not use three button modes.
I entered the phone to recovery mode using sdk but now i can not go out of recovery mode. The power button does nothing in recovery mode 3e . Then i can not choose the reboot phone option from menue.
I tried removing the battery for 20 minutes...also tried removing battery and pushing both volume up and down kies together and inserting battery but these methodes didn't work.
I can not use adb anymore as it can not recognize the device. Also odin can not recognize the phone...
What else could i do to get out of the recovery mode. I had official jpjf rom.
Any advice appreciated
My home button on galaxy s i9000 was out of order. Then i could not use three button modes. If its not working then you need the 3 button download recovery jig from the front page .
jje
Thanks alot for the advice. Then you mean i should make a jig cable.? As i'm not sure how to make the cable ,is there any other way to flash....?
any more idea?
you can buy these 'JIGs' off eBay for peanuts.
life saving tool for under £10
alternate method
This method worked for me without any cable . Try it. You should at least see samsung logo on startup, wherein phone is stuck at recovery. And you should also have legitimate OS if you skip the recovery loop.
So, the phone also has a charging mode apart from all the modes. Take out the battery and make it completely off. Now, connect charging cable(micro-usb) to the phone in off position(I connected to PC). The phone will go to charging mode and wait until you see a progress bar and a green battery logo. Either press power button now to go to normal mode or remove cable and press power button.
After this, I went to download mode from OS and flashed correct image. But, your need may vary.
i got stock too in recovery mode . i rebooted through adb.thank God my phone reboots out of recovery mode

Yea I know that, but it wont boot to recovery or download mode.
But when I press volume up home and power odin detects it
heyy, the problem already has a solution?
my phone S5570 also has the same problem, black screen, can not go into recovery mode or download mode.
but go to RAMDump (vol up + home + power) and connect it to my PC, my S5570 is detected by the PC and odin, but can not flashing my rom.
stuck in "Setup Connection" I know it because my phone is not in the download mode.
whether the USB JIG is the right solution?
sorry if my language is bad

(I think this set of steps works in these
conditions: Hard-brick, absolutely non-
responsive to any button combination.
Odin still recognizes the phone when
connected through USB port)
1.- Remove both the SIM card and de
microSD card.
2.- KEEP YOUR BATTERY REMOVED
3.- Apply the Download-mode button
combination (known by you all)
4.- WHILE HOLDING THE
COMBINATION, insert the battery, and
keep the buttons pressed untill you get
the download mode.
5.- Flash your phone with a valid
firmware through Odin (Preferebly,
have Odin prepared before doing this
trick).........
hit thanks if this helped you and others....

brick s5570
I have a Samsung mini S7750, in resetting to factory defaults boot.
Boot mode or recovery mode does not.Only works is a combination of "home + vol up + vol down" moves into some mode where it while Odin detects the two com ports, but nothing to do, Odin hangs on setup conection.
JIG does not work [resistor 301kohm].Display is black.

Help please
Hi. My S5570 is hard bricked. Will not turn on in any way i try. Does not go on download or recovery mode. The USB Jig method does not work for me. (I tried with around 3) and I connected my phone to my laptop and help down power + home + vol up and it does not recognise my device but when i do power + home + vol up + vol down it recognises it. I then used Odin to recover it but I have tried over 50 times and it is always stuck on "Setup connection...". Can someone please help? I have already tried re-installing Samsung USB Drivers. Still not working. Please help and thanks!

Only hold vol up+home+power and THEN connect it if download mode works. I mean if it's recognized by the computer, download mode has to work, there is no way. If it does, then flash a stock ROM.
Oh and also something: before doing this, pull out your sd card and even your sim card. The same thing happened to my phone and Odin could flash it after removing everything.

There is another way that u can try:
(Asumming that samsung mobile drivers are installed, with no Samsung KIES... & odin running in the foreground.)
*Remove sim, sdcard & battery.
*Now connect ur phone(without battery) to pc via usb cable.
*Now press the usual download mode keys(volume down & home & power buttons) together without the battery.
*While still holding those three buttons, insert the battery.
At this point Odin should detect ur phone so that u can flash stock firmware.
U can try this atleast since u r left with no choice:sly:.
Good Luck..!!:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!

You usually get the "setup connection" error when you are in the Emergency Download Mode instead of Download Mode. You go to Emergency Download Mode by holding down Volume Up + Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it loads a screen that says "Emergency Download Mode" and you go to Download mode by holding down Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it does load the correct download screen with the yellowish message that say "Downloading…". Please make sure you are going to the Download Mode. 'm sorry to say that you have hard-bricked your phone. If your phone is still under warranty, then you can approach a Samsung Service Centre. I have already suggested few solution to a similar problem, but none of them worked. Not even USB Jig. You can refer those solutions here. Maybe it will work for you.
