Bricked or Boot loop - help needed

Hi people!
I got bricked my galaxy mini gt-s5570, but not totaly (that means I can still use the download mode, and RAMDUMP ARM9 mode) but I can't power up the phone. That happened after I used ODIN for gt-s5570 and changed the Kernel (I forgot to make backup before), and device was working well with the new kernel, but after it I use the same step in ODIN to get back to the old one. So the result is, when I'm pushing the power key the screen starts to blinks and nothing more! But as I say download mode, and ARM9 mode are still working. Any solution for this?

just download the new firmware from samfirmware.com n flash it thru odin as u can go to download mode..n ur phone will be back to life again..
i accidently pressed thanks on ur first post

I can't, I don't have access to recovery mode, it doesn't work!

i think you tried to upgrade firmware not boot whenever you upgrade firmware it cant be downgrade it can just be more upgraded when you downgrade your firmware it will not boot up it will just show a black screen so just reinstall the firmware again and do not try to downgrade it

But today when I entered it the phone froze and shut down by itself and now everytime I try to turn it on it gets stuck on the first screen that appears! (Samsung Galaxy S III mini GT-I8190)
My phone is not rooted and no Rom is flashed. I haven't done anything to it.

remove battery for some minutes then try, if not
boot into recovery and wipe cache, if not, wipe data, if not
flash your stock firmware

How to wipe cache in recovery mode? I can only go to download mode by holding the home and the volume down buttons.
and how to flash the stock's firmware?

hold volume up + home + power.
if it didnt work, flash attached .tar file (unzip before) as pda in odin. (it will wipe your data)
for flashing stock, see my signature

Is there any other way better than wiping data? xD

it would have been easier if you had rooted your phone. in that way you can hard reset the phone by pressing the VOLUME DOWN + POWER for 15sec, after which you press the HOME KEY and then follow the pop up to continue.

The s3 mini cant be put into recovery mode using buttons so you have to download the android sdk from google, right click adb folder, open in command prompt and type in reboot recovery.

I have little bit higher problem!
I was flashing custom rom and i t was flashed when i tried to start phone it was just looking like dead phone no reactions anything please help

Is there a way to wipe the data through Odin. If I try through recovery mode then the phone crashes and restarts immediately. In fact if I try to do any of the operations that touch Data then it crashes and restarts the phone. Thanks

my Samsung galaxy s 111 mini gt-18190 stuck on Samsung logo what should i do

Rooted Note 1 in bootloop after update

Hi everyone. I have a rooted Galaxy Note 1. I accidentally tried to update something (the phone said there was an Android update or something) and now my phone in stuck in a bootloop showing the Android logo. When I try to reset it (volume+home+power buttons) it goes to an Odin "Downloading..." screen and gets stuck on that.
I've seen some stuff about unbricking the phone using Odin to return to the original stock rom. But from what I can tell, there are different stock roms available depending on your Country Sales Code (CSC). So apparently I need to look in Kies for my CSC to know which rom to download, but Kies doesn't recognise the phone, I guess because it's bricked. I know the phone is from the UK, but I don't know what network it came from (I bought it second hand). All I know is that it is unlocked now.
I have CWM.zip, CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip, and franco.Kernel-r5.zip on the micro SD card from when I was rooting it ages ago. Do these have anything to do with fixing it?
Any ideas on where I go from here? Thanks for your help.

Which volume button did you press ? You need volume up + home + power to get into recovery.
You can flash any rom from any region using odin.

Same problem
Hey,
Thanks for helping me in advance...
I used the Custom ROM (( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626 )) Ultimate N7000 for a long time. However this build became more and more unstable the longer I used my phone.
So I decided to go back to STOCK.
So I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And everything went well (Odin didnt give any errors)
However after reboot... the problem began... I cant turn my phone on anymore.... It seems to be stuck in a bootloop....
How can I fix this?? please help me

Which rom did you flash? If you flashed JB, boot into recovery and wipe data. Then reboot.

Sadly, you are not alone with this problem. My experience was similar to yours. I solved it by throwing the phone away and buying another. Unfortunately, my second P7 has faulty flash memory and is almost useless. I'm now awaiting the delivery of my third P7. I suggest you buy another and avoid EMUI 3.0. Good luck!

A question? How can you do factory reset through settings when you have a bricked phone? I find this very strange!
If by any chance you still can load the OS, get the quickboot app in the market. It will get you to fastboot and than maybe you can install recovery.
All in all, I still don't understand, is your device bricked (can't load OS, just constant reboots - loops), or you just can' downgrade to EMUI 2.3!
Good luck

Thanks !

To install quickboot you need to load OS which you apparently cannot at the moment. Did you try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/stock-recovery-stuck-bootloop-t2875935

I totally bricked the phone ... i wrote in fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and after that the ph0ne begin to restart in timeless circle .. and still do it ... please help emergency ))

Try the method on the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/reverting-emui-3-0-to-2-3-t2934277

I fix it ... turned out i was installed wrong boot.img .. may be of huawei p6 and the stock recovery which installed doesnt work .. now instaled working and everything is ok Thanks 4 wish to help me !

I have a similar/the same issue as some people above described.
I reverted from CWM recovery to stock recovery (same stock recovery img as I used before succesfully). Now the phone can only boot to stock recovery (Reboot system now, Wipe data, Wipe cache, are the only options.
The phone is not detected by adb on that screen, so I can't try to reboot to bootloader using ADB. I also can't get into bootloader from volume button + power, because the phone boots immediately to recovery after I turn it off.
Fortunately I managed to solve it, so for reference:
Remove SD card
Place full (no incremental update) update.APP file on external sd card in /dload folder (B609: https://mega.co.nz/#!akcBCZBJ!4jLhlNsH54H-3DHeK3xPkzT3fWIHBR6QtbOllubdz5Q) using a different device (computer)
insert SD card
turn the phone off from the recovery loop by holding all three buttons (VOL+POW) at the same time. It's a bit tricky, but keep trying until the phone is off
Insert the USB cable in your phone and connect it with your computer (haven't tested if it simply needs power, or an ADB enabled computer)
Then immediately press all three buttons again
You should enter recovery again now, but the phone will immediately start flashing the update.APP ROM.
You will lose all user data though!

I tried using Kies too, but it did not work.:crying::crying::crying:

I was going to suggest the same thing. Try using Kies and go to Tools\Emergency firmware recovery and see if that works.

Can you get into download mode?

Yes, I can. One of my attached photos has shown as above. I tried to flash via ODIN or Smart Switch ( Kies 3), the program has shown OK but I still got the problem.

It is pretty hard to brick these phones. Just in case you have a bad file or something. Grab the zip and follow these instructions. I know that all these files in this zip are good so it is worth a shot.
Even if you know what you are doing, follow the instructions exactly, you may be overlooking something. It happens to everyone sometimes.

After you odin whichever firmware you flashed, wait about 10 min or so on that boot screen that is stucked. Then pull the battery out. Go into stock recovery but power+home+vol up. Then select wipe data/reset. Reboot and it should boot just fine.
At least that's how i fixed my phone that stuck few times like what you going through.

The problem is my phone can not access to stock recovery or TWRP recovery. It just stuck at first bootscreen which is shown "Samsung Galaxy Note 4 powered by Android", then restart and stuck again. So that I can not wipe data or reset to fix.

Since you can still get into download mode, what happens if you flash TWRP through ODIN? Step 10 in the instructions I posted assuming it is still rooted or start at step 8 if not. Just to see if you can get recovery working again.

You are wasting time...start over, it's your best and quickest fix....
