Hello. Looking for some help. Have s3 mini ve 8200. Rooted. When I turn it on it stays stuck on original s3 screen. Will not load any further. Yes, I can get to recovery mode so it's not a total brick. Have tried to clear cache from recovery but get error. Have tried to erase data/reset gives me error.little Android picture has red !. Tried to download original os and flash using SD card. Will not take just resets to s3 screen. What am I missing??
Do I need PC to flash original rom using drivers and Odin?? Or can I download to sd card and flash from there if I can't access PC??
I know this is old phone just want to see if can be fixed before I scrap it. Thank you for any advice or help.
To flash complete stock rom (.tar.md5 file) you need PC with samsung drivers and odin. If it doesn't work, maybe it's a partition error

Hey guys, I'm really in a bad spot here.
So I installed CM10 on a GT-i9000, worked fine except for the hardware buttons not working. So from there, I decided to install SlimBean (A foolish mistake that I thought was foolproof). And boom, now I am here, stuck in a CWM bootloop, and I've tried factory resetting and all, still boots the same.
I've tried installing other roms, sometimes it reboots during installation and doesn't complete, and even if it does complete, same problem, it boots into CWM. And I've noticed a new Samsung AnyCall Boot logo every since I tried SlimBean.
I've tried updating the kernel, no luck. I bought a download mode jig, but windows does not detect the Galaxy S in download mode with Kies installed. (I think I disabled USB Debugging in CM10)
Any suggestions? This is really stressing me out. I'm prepared to use odin, but download mode is not recognized on my PC.

You will hadware buttons failure when you flash a i9000 ROM on an Anycall M110S ( Korean Galaxy S) , so I am curious are you sure your phone is not an Anycall M110S? since you also getting Anycall boot screen...sounds odd, that i9000 will do that.
For USB connection problems , just try link on Quick Fixes and Solutions link below

Go back your original firmware...
Any updates to this?
I am having a similar situation. I tried flashing ICS ROM to my Anycall Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000. It is now stuck in recovery mode. I tried doing factory reset and wiping the cache and dalvik cache and tried reflashing. Everything goes fine but gets stuck in the recovery mode - more correctly in download mode but the download mode logo flashes twices and enters to recovery mode.
Any possible solutions to get me out of this mess?
Thanks,
Sid
your problem will be solved with this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330
Edit : above url is for S+ your device is S , sorry .
Thanks, but anything similar for Galaxy S? And remember my download mode does not stay, if flashes twice and runs into recovery mode. So if your solution is something to do in recovery mode it will be helpful (or if your solution is to first make me stay on download mode and then flash something using odin I will be thankful)
Regards,
Sid

Check your Model, Anycal does not make GT I9000, it makes only M110S and firmwares / solutions for them vary.
If you have Anycal M110S visit PIT STOP link below to solve your problems
Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
you can get a rescue kit from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.
worked for me

Glad that worked for you, but I for some reason can't be so lucky. I tried to also flash CWM 10 but after the home key not working I decided to flash Slim Bean and now I am stuck. My phone isn't even recognized by Odin any more and I have tried different USB ports and even my laptop with Heimdall. I don't know what to do at this point, but any kind of suggestions would be great. Usually when I get stuck I just flash back to Stock and start all over with a new ROM or kernel but I have no idea where to go from this point.

Flashing ROM via stock recovery is a bad idea... And Odin will only recognise your phone if it's started in download mode. Try following tutorial. Somewhy it works for others...

Hello,
I have installed this "ibtimes . co . uk / articles / 419836 / 20130102 / android421-jellybean-cm101-custom-rom-samsung-galaxy . htm" rom on my (actually my mom's) galaxy ace S5830 and it worked just fine. Before i installed it i made a CWM recovery backup. I wasn't happy with the rom so i wanted to go back to my last one by restoring the backup. first i wiped data and cache and then restored the backup. But now when i tried to reboot the system it got stuck on the Samsung logo and later on it was just a light blue screen. can someone help me please.
Don't worry, you need to flash a stock ROM via Odin. Look at the stickies

Chill your phone can be fixed easily
Simple Bro , Download the firmware files from sammobile.com then Google for Galaxy Ace Odin ..I guess the version is 4.38 or something like that ..and make sure you download the cooper file with it then flash the original firmware using Odin.So then your phone is back to how it was when you bought it.
I hope this was helpful.
If you want the instructions on how to do this ..let me know ..I'll give you the link for the files also
Help!
I'm having the same problem.
I tried to install a new rom on my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5830, but when it was supposed to boot, nothing happend.
I tried to install the original firmware using Odin, but the problem is that I can't connect my phone to my computer.
The only thing my phone is able to do now, is showing the charging screen, opening the samsung recovery mode and accessing the download mode.
I really hope that someone could help me!
Thanks in advance.

Dude! Switch off the phone. Then press the 3key combo to go to Download mode. U don't need to go to recovery either (which is a 2key combo). & ops name should be:-
COOPER_v1.0.ops

Hi BscorpionII!
As you can open recovery, if you don't have CWM 5.0.2.6 you could install it from your recovery and then try installing another ROM from CWM 5.0.2.6.
You could read this link
"Nielli's [GUIDE] Guides and Tips How to Root SGA, Install CWM5 and install Mods + Downloads"
In the link you'll find the last stable recovery -version 5.0.2.6- and much more.
Good luck.
Please help. It seems that my Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 is hard bricked already. I tried all the solutions there is in our website here and no solution until now. I am now stuck in the Galaxy Logo forever.
I tried rooting it applying update.zip firmwares but it didn't work.
I also tried wiping cache and date but it didn't work.
I also tried to flash via odin but there is no yellow text on the upper left. Odin does not recognize the phone.
I already downloaded samsung devices and i have kies installed already.
This is how it looks like when it is in recovery mode (power button + home button)
as you can see, i only have 4 choices:
Reboot System Now
Apply update from SD Card
Wipe Data Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Please HELP!!!!
Go to download mode and connect to computer ? This recovery is stock Flash cwm
Try connect to the other PC and try again with ODIN...
wrong section.
Hard bricked = deal with it.
Give it to service or throw to the drawer.
what you wanted to achievie by rooting bricked phone ?
delete kies , restart computer, install samsung usb drivers (xda), restart computer. Turn on into download mode, connect to computer, flash stock, when it start to boot take off battery (unplugged phone) and insert, go to recovery and factory reset. if it won't help, buy new phone
this is not a hard brick
just select the thoice with "factory reset" and normally everything will be just fine , if you can go to recovery so you can theorically get your phone back , i think xda is about helping each other not saying hard brick=deal with it .
As you can clearly see I did proposed solution. But it really should be moved to mini 1 section. mini 2 and mini 2 "revive" procedures may be a little different and we don't want to propose hellp that can totally brick phone, don't we ?
I8190 boots grey. Just Download Mode.
After flashing OMNI I lost the IMEI, trying to recover it. I did a lot stuff.
After "restoring" the EFS folder via CWM. My phone Bricked i think.
When i press POWER i turns GREY something with squares. Just that. I try recovery and it is the same screen.
It just let me go onto Download MODE, i have tried with ODIN. with several Stock roms but nothing. Just FAIL after a while in odin.
What can I Do? I reinstalled the Drivers, Have KIES reintalled too. Tried All USB ports.
Is there any solution? is a brick? im kinda poor so this S3 is like gold for me right now
hope you guy could help me.
PD: Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my native language.
Which error do you find with Odin?
If Odin recognise your phone is not a driver problem. Are you sure that you are flashing the right firmware for your phone? Flash a compete stock rom, they have a stock recovery included.
