I wanted to install TWRP and Linage OS on an old S3 Mini. But I am unable to go into the 2 modes with the button combinations. The S3 Mini goes directly into normal boot.

Hi,
I'm having a major problem with a galaxy ace.
The phone is in a bootloop and download mode or recovery mode are not working.
The phone keeps looping the samsung logo when it's starts.
When I wan't to start it in recovery mode or download mode the phone shows me the recovery or download menu but then reboots.
Is there a way to fix this?
are you sure that when going to recovery ur not pressing the home button too much?
if you have android sdk installed, you can use this code:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Hello all,
I have an s3 mini which I am unable to boot into CWM recovery. I have tried countless times and flashed cwm twice but it my phone would not boot to it. Whenever I hold down the Volume up + Home + Power buttons it just boots normally. But I am able to get it into download/odin mode so what I need is a sort of script or file that I can flash through odin to force my phone to boot into recovery mode.

Hello there! I just install Revolution ROM (Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...om-revolution-rom-ux-2014-build-2-22-t2607749) on Glalaxy S3 Mini and CWM crashed when recovery installation was done. I turned off my phone and CAN NOT turn it on. HELP! :crying:
Why you install ROM for S2 on S3 mini ?
Can you enter to the Download mode ? (Volume down + home button + power button) If yes, than you can flash stock rom via Odin

You hard bricked your phone because you flashed a ROM not meant for your phone. So send it in for repairs.
I used TWRP manager to install the latest TWRP and now my i9305 will longer boot.
Symptoms:
Boot loops on "Samsung Galaxy SIII I9305" screen (it flashes to a blank screen, so it's not a hang as AFAIK)
Won't enter recovery - just boot loops as above
Can enter Download mode, but...
Isn't recognised in Odin (whereas my S4 in download mode IS recognised, same USB cable)
SIM and SD card are removed
Screenshot of Download mode attached. What else can I try?
Is it possible to backup files from download mode?
My S3 mini keeps rebooting and I am just able to enter in download mode. Recovery mode doesn't work.
no one?
