Hello everyone, I have an S3 Mini and it has the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issues...", I want to flash the phone but whenever I try to access Download mode, the phone turns off right after the "Continue" pops up, I took the battery off the phone for half and hour and it let me continue, but I can only be in download mode for about 5 seconds and the phone turns off.
The battery is swollen, could that be the reason?, what can I try?

I'm in a bit of a pickle here.
Galaxy Tab (p1010) was stuck in a loop a while ago. I've tried to put the Tab into Download mode to flash a new firmware onto it but it doesnt work.
The tab, when plugged into mains just turns on, blank screen with back-light on and turns back off. It keeps doing this repetitively. If I hold down the Volume - button and the power button it goes into Download mode for about half a second and switches off again. The one or two times in which I've managed to get to Download mode doesn't last for more than 15 seconds which is not enough for it to download the firmware from Odin.
I've tried Volume + and Power button to get to recovery but no luck there either
I'm going to leave the tab on charge overnight but has anyone else had this problem before and found a solution to it??
Edit: NEVERMIND!!!!! In my stupidity I wasn't using the Samsung Mains plug to charge it so not enough power was going to the Tab. I managed to put the Samsung charger in, leave it for a couple of mins and managed to get to Download mode just fine. Tab is now reflashed and working fine

Hi guys,
I need some help here. I recently bought galaxy mini, and yesterday, it just won't start, or let's say, won't even charge. I wasn't playing with custom roms etc.
I put it on charge, and it just shows battery with grey circle, and it turns off in less than 5 seconds. It can go to download mode, but again, it turns itself off. Have no idea what do to, to fix it.
AW: [Q] Phone turns itself off, can't boot
Maybe battery problem?
Hi,
Have been using my S3 Mini fine for a couple of months now, running Maclaw's CM 11.0 mod. However, about 30 minutes ago the device freezed and rebooted, and now I'm stuck in the infamous boot loop. I'm seeing the "Samsung Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190" screen, which is shown for between 30 seconds and a minute, and then the device automatically reboots.
I know how to boot to recovery mode and download mode, but the problem is that my phone doesn't want to ... I cannot turn off the device: if I remove the battery and put it back in after a couple of minutes, it automatically boots. I have tried all sorts of timings and pressing the recovery/download mode buttons before/during/after putting the battery, it just gets stuck at the boot screen :/
Any ideas how I can recover from this? Force the phone to power off completely, or enter recovery/download mode from the boot screen?
Thanks!
Update: it gets better/worse: when the battery runs out, the damn thing finally turns itself off. When it's shut down, I can boot it to download mode, recovery mode is not working. Ofcourse, I cannot stay for longer than about a minute in download mode, since the battery is empty ...
Plugging the device in to charge it: starts charging a bit, then automatically boots and gets stuck in the boot loop again ...
Update2: what the f ... Completely frustrated, I just unplugged the phone, upon which it restarted ... and loaded my OS. And then shut down again ofcourse, because of empty battery. I'm completely frustrated AND baffled right now
Hi, I have a problem with my Galaxy S3 Mini, the issue is that the phone was discharged, went out and did not turn over. When you get home and connect the charger it came on and also the loading screen. After ten minutes or so, left the battery charging icon and then off again. since then, the phone will not turn on, I can not enter the download mode or recovery mode if I connect it to the computer does not recognize it.
I installed Carbon Maclaw Mod 4.4.2
What could have been and what can I do?
