Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190. The batterry started to get swollen a few weeks ago and the phone started to turn off like 5 minutes after I unplug it from charging (it was working fine while plugged in). So, I decided to buy a new battery, but on the last day with that swollen battery the phone turned off and when I try to turn it on, it got into a restarting loop. After seeing "Galaxy S III Mini" logo, it turns off and restarts again and again. I can enter the Odin mode, but I can not enter the recovery mode. What I did so far:
* I removed the battery for a few hours, no change
* I wiped all the data with Odin 3.7 and installed the original 4.1.1 FW, no difference
What else can I do? I am not familiar with these issues so please tell me what to do as you are telling a child Thanks in advance
You can flash a pit file with Odin

Hello.
About one month ago I rooted my Galaxy Note and flashed Phliz kernel, but kept the original ROM.
A couple days ago my phone started to have some screen flickering and battery drain issues. The screen started flickering and the battery drained till 15%, when the phone completely shuts down. This happened a couple of times. I always put the phone to charge after this, and was able to power it on.
But today this happened and when I tried to power the phone on, it stucked on the Samsung logo screen. And stays there forever. I tried to restart and even do a factory reset (I dont care about my data since its everything on the cloud). The problem persists.
When I put the phone to charge the battery charging icon appears and apparently it charges normally.
I am able to enter the Recovery mode (CWM Touch) and the Download too.
What should I do? Can the problem be the battery? Maybe I should unroot it? Flash a stock kernel?

Can I follow your video step-by-step even having a custom kernel (Philz) and CWM?

I did it. I followed your step-by-step video. Everything seen to be ok. Unfortunately the same error is happening, the only difference is that it's stuck on the Nexus welcome screen (the X), not the old Samsung screen.
It kept this screen till the screen started flickering again and the phone shut down, as before.
So, I changed the recovery to the normal 6, the kernel to the CM and the ROM to the Nexus 4. None of these solve my problem. What to do now?
So... I tried to flash a stock ROM (JB XXLSZ) through Odin. I did everything according to this video ?v=nmLm2pTdxk0 from youtube.
I also changed my battery to another (non-original) that I arranged. Now the flickering stopped.
Now I'm on a bootloop (like he was at the first try), but I tried the second time and it continues on a bootloop. Also, when I go to the stock recovery, it says:
"e: Failed to mount /efs (Invalide argument)"
It appears I bricked my phone? I do not have an efs backup.
Can anyone help me?
No one? Common guys, I don't know what to do...
My Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 won't turn on, charge, boot into recovery or in download mode. I don't think I hard bricked my phone and I have a few reasons. My phone is running JellyBean 4.1.2 XXLSA, I've had problems with it after installing apps and the phone itself crashes and I need to reboot a couple times to make it work. This morning it was perfectly fine and I was doing things I regularly do on my phone and then the phone crashed and I wasn't able to do what I was doing previously I can't turn off the screen like it did, so I rebooted it. Then it got stuck on the Samsung logo for a good 30 minutes, I decided to boot into recovery and now the phone died and it won't do anything. The battery isn't bloated either and it was at 99%. Any help and suggestions would make me happy! :crying:
Hi! Couple days ago, my phone just turned off on its own. I couldn't turn it on, nor could I charge it. Nothing happened when I connect the charger. I didn't touch it for a day or two and then when I tried to turn it on, it tried to boot up, but it just vibrated shortly and only showed initial Samsung logo and then it restarted. That loop of showing only the logo and restarting then happens continuously. I can't turn off the phone using the power button, I have to pull out the battery. When I re-insert the battery, phone automatically turns on, shows the logo and then restarst again and again and again...
I have found some suggestions to try to flash the phone with custom ROM. I tried flashing CyanogenMod using Odin. Odin displays the message that everything went OK, but phone again just boots up to the Samsung logo and then restarts continuously. After that, I have tried several other ROMs using several versions of each. Same thing happens. Odin says that process went OK, but phone again won't boot.
Does anyone have any suggestions what else should I try?
Maybe try to flash all stock files via Odin?
I tried that, too, but same thing happens. Anyway, it looks like it might be some hardware problem. I took the phone to the repair shop and they also tried installing stock and custom roms, but the phone just won't start. They said it's probably some falty hardware that's causing the problem.
Try to turn it on plugged to charger.
Something similar happened to my phone so I followed this guide, then did a recovery of my back up

janota241, same thing happens when it's on charger, after Samsung logo, it turns off and then it turns on, then it turns off at Samsung logo and so on and so on...
IsReal8a, I tried that guide, but I can't access recovery mode, though I can access download mode. When I try to access recovery mode, phone just get stuck at Samsung logo for about minute or two and then it turns itself off.
I have the exact same issue as you do.
Maybe you can replace the battery, i just suggest
*sorry for my bad english
I tried to do stock rom (P1000XWJQB8_P1000DBTJQ1_DBT) with pit (gt-p1000_mr.pit) with ODIN. During the flashing process it stuck somewhere on (hidden) and after some time it shows fail. But device is stuck on downloading screen and shows half process bar and I wait for hour and so but device is still stuck on the same. So, I decided to turn off and start the device again and I did. But after turning off when i tried to start device again it wont start I mean there is no screen booting happening just back camera flash every time i tried to power on the device or tried to charge it or connect it to USB. Even ODIN or Hemidell is not detecting it anymore.
