[Q] Phone stuck on the Samsung logo and won't go into recovery

Hey everyone
I've got a Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N and I've got a huge problem.
It first started out with me trying to root my phone, everything seemed to go well until i tried to turn my phone on, which resulted in it being stuck on the samsung logo, I snooped around the internet trying to find a solution and was recommended to reflash with different tar files but nothing worked. I tried to reset to factory settings through recovery mode but I couldn't even access the recovery mode. I then tried to get back to factory settings using Samsung Kies but after the whole installation it didn't seem to work either. I tried almost everything possible, I checked out every link on the first page of google relating to my problem yet nothing works. The only thing I can do is enter download mode and that's it.
I wasn't aware of how rooting actually works and simply followed a tutorial on CNet (I can't post a link yet as I haven't reached 10 posts). Not sure if this helps but so far that's all I can remember from memory, if you need more info i'll happily share that.

download a new rom and install it per Odin (when i have this problem i do flash infected rom then i come in the recovery and restore my backup)

I'm rather inexperienced with this whole rooting thing, if you don't mind, could you link me to the correct rom? I don't wanna mess things up again.
Would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I tried it but nothing happened, It's still stuck on the samsung logo screen and I can't get into recovery mode.
Edit: Oh and by nothing happened I meant it flashed and everything was successful but nothing changed

Did you flashed firmware for N variant, and no special carrier firmware downloaded? Did it gave "pass" on odin?
If yes, try to reflash it and wait a little more to reboot (maybe)

I went here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ typed in GT-I8190N into the search box and downloaded United Kingdom (EE).
Should I tick off Auto-Reboot when I try it this time?

your carrier is (EE)?? or it is unlocked sim??? if you do not have a special carrier download this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/189236485/5a4d305/I8190NXXALL6_I8190NOXXALL3_BTU.zip.html.
regarding odin leave it at default. only "auto reboot" and "F. reset time" are ticked. put extracted (.tar) in pda.
it takes time to boot after completion.
Edit: if still doesnt work, i think you need stock recovery flashed on your device

It takes time? For me it reboots as soon as it says Pass on odin, could that be part of the problem?

Also, just to make sure I don't mess anything up, should I take out the battery, then disconnect the usb and try recovery mode in that order if once booting is done and the device restarts the screen is still stuck on the samsung logo?

i think this will not help.
but you didnt answer my question about your carrier. because you flashed (EE) carrier. if it is not your carrier so flash UK (BTU). it is for unlocked sim

Well, my sim card is T Mobile but my network was switched to EE.
I heard that having MicroSD's and SIM cards inserted while flashing could cause problems, should I keep them both in or out?

I tried all kinds of recovery attempts and none of them worked.

If it is still under warranty, try to replace it

You must be flashed wrong root file from the first. Usually, flashing stock firmware could solve this problem.

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....

Please Help..Sprint Note 5..Boot issues?

Ok here is my issue. I have been flashing droids for years without a single issue. I got my Note 5 about 2 months ago and decided to flash it since it was possible for the Sprint model. Flashing went as normal, perfect. I flashed a custom ROM, MOAR, and it was working great. No issues, very amazing ROM by the way. I then went and made a back up with TWRP and saved it to my OTG flash drive. I then proceeded to change the boot image, the one that says "Samsung" logo, because I had seen a tutorial on how someone did that on a Note 5. Now comes my problem. After flashing the new boot image, my Note 5 WILL NOT boot up. It will charge, as it does show it charging, I can get it into Download Mode. and that's it, just Download Mode. No recovery mode, no boot image, just Download Mode. I want to know if it's possible to use the backup that got from TWRP, which was a full backup, and use it with Odin to flash it back to the way phone was before this mishap, reinstall the correct boot image, or WHATEVER I need to get my phone up and running again. Thank you very much to anyone and everyone that can help me out

I would use download mode and a full firmware package to get it back working and booting , and once that works , I would use my backup to return to where i was.

Do you know where I could get one? I need this phone up and running really bad. I just went to Sprint and they said they were going to charge me $75 to look at and if it needed to be fixed it would be $350. I can't afford that. So ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry about not answering earlier. You should get your firmware from www.sammobile.com , just search your model # (Note 5 are : SM-N920XX ) where the XX is carrier dependant. Sign up to their site and take the slow download. Then flash the firmware in download mode , using odin on your pc.

can u post the model no (Note 5 : SM-N920XX ) ...???

Just wanted to say thank you for the reply. I've been downloading the firmware for the past 2hrs now.lol. It was the "newest" upload they had for the firmware. If for whatever reason this doesn't work, GOD please it work, what should next? Thank you.

Well I flashed the new firmware(N920PVPU2BPG1_N920PSPT2BPG1_SPR) last night with Odin and to no avail it did not work. I still get only a black screen when trying to normal boot, still can't boot into recovery, but still can boot into Download Mode. I don't know what to do at this point. I have never had this happened.

Stuck on boot animation even after flashing with odin

so i got a galaxy s5 mini from a friend today that was stuck on the samsung boot animation and ive just flashed it it with odin but its still stuck at the boot animation. i wasnt sure which region firmware to download and flash since i never seen it powered on so i just downloaded vodafone uk. does anyone know how i can get this working?
edit:its a SM-G800F

anyone?, please?

Probably you download wrong version of PDA or CSC.

if the way with odin doesn't work (sometimes necessary to wipe the cache and data before), you can do a emergency recovery under tools with Kies - don't know if smartswitch also .
You just have to enter the S/N and in process reboot to download mode - it does everything by itself... good luck

Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed

I flashed the TekHD rom, let the rom boot, and then tried to boot into recovery from the set up/welcome screen. Instead of booting into recovery, the phone screen is black with small red letters saying "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
I cant boot into recovery or the rom. I only get that message.
Help please.

Am able to access download mode. Gotta flash stock with ODin.

You must have forgot to flash the RMM fix. You either have to flash the RMM disabler or flash a custom Kernel that disables it that way before the first reboot after flashing TWRP. It's a new safety feature Samsung has introduced that locks the device after anything gets flashed or modified. Unfortunately, your only option is to re-odin stock files and then wait 7 days again for OEM unlock to appear.
After you get TWRP flashed again, mke sure you flash the fix or a custom Kernel.

wont work anyway.. and i can tell you why :silly: the f***ing cable was defective.... it only charged the phone but made no connection to the PC.. yesterday it worked well.. i really feel pretty dumb now.. it is mandatory to have a data-transfer cable connected and not only a charger cable.. cause that wont work... but now i got the software back on it :laugh:

yes because data needs to be sent to your phone...major facepalm moment...

indeed.. but anyway .. my question is why would that happen to me.. i was using the RomAur 4.0 CSA7 for pretty long now.. just flashed the new TGP kernel on it to test how it will do.. (its CSB3) .. it worked fine but after 2 reboots it kicked me in the face ... i couldnt unlock my phone anymore.. ore merely when i entered the pin the screen went black again.. then i tried to reflash the Kernel wich i was using all the time (Endurance Kernel for PIE) and then the "only official..." message came up .. is it possible that the CSB3 Kernel kicked my butt with the newest safety patch?

I already have my OEM unlocked in dev settings do I have to repeat the steps again? I mean flashing my country's fw and wait 7 days?

Hi i need some help here, i got the red message and when i enter to download mode and flash stock room from my country " just AP " odin just stay on "SetupConnection..." and then it says " <ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1).

looking at the logs, not only should all 4 .md5 be flashed as stated previously, but odin version should be latest 3.13.1 and be sure you are not trying to put older firmware revision than what the device's bootloader is on. and it cant hurt to check if cable is good and android device drivers installed too.

Ohhhhh i was flashing on 3.12 thanks a lot, now i want root my note 8, i was trying and i get that problem, can you help me please?
