i have the 10.1 wifi
and impossible to connect to the pc (w7)
i use the original cable
have you an idea ?
Suggest checking to see if you have samsung kies installed that will give you the proper drivers. Also I believe there is a galaxy tab 10.1 forum on xda so this question should really be there.
Hi All.
I am looking for help and advice with regards to getting my wife's Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N working again.
My wife has been having issues with this phone restarting it's self at random on and off for the last few months, but as the phone is always in use/needed, I have been unable to have a look for the cause of the problem.
A few weeks ago the phone powered down, and would not switch back or, it would also not charge.
After removing the battery and having a closer look it seems that the battery has swollen and is no longer flat so a new replacement battery was ordered.
The new replacement battery was fitted and the phone was put on charge, the phone displayed that is was now charging, I thought all was good and just left the phone to charge.
Some time later on I tried to power on the phone, but am just greeted by "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" logo and then the phone just restarts again, and keeps on doing this.
The phone is 100% stock, it has not been unlocked or re-flashed.
The phone is on contract from Tesco Mobile, but my wife has been told by Tesco that the warranty has expired.
From searching on the forum it seems that it is quite common for Samsung phones to get stuck in this kind of boot loop.
So far it seems that there are two possible ways to fix the current issue.
1 - Power off the phone and go into boot-loader and do a factory reset.
or
2 - Re-flash the stock rom.
So I thought I would 1st try the factory reset.
So I removed and replaced the battery, Held down "Volume Up, Home, Power", I am then greeted by "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" logo and the phone just sits there.
So it now looks like the only other option is to re-flash the phone with the stock rom.
But how do I find out what stock rom that I need for this phone, as I am unable to get into the bootloader to run any ADB or FastBoot commands.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.

Download the stock firmware you prefer from here: http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...iii-mini-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82
Then follow this guide to install it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2429169
Riky720: Thank you for your reply, and the links.
I have already been reading the following guides
[GUIDE] Stock Rom - All S3 Mini
and
[GUIDE] Unroot / Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy SIII Mini GT-I8190
Can you please advice how I can find out what is the correct firmware / stock rom to download, as the phone will not boot, and I am unable to use ADB or Fastboot to pull any information from the phone.
As said before my wife got the phone from Tesco Mobile on contract, and from my understanding is that Tesco Mobile uses the O2 Network.
Looking at the list of firmware's I can't not see any listed as Tesco Mobile.
Thanks again for your time.
Best Regards.
I am still having issues with this phone, and I have been unable to progress forward.
I did start this post: Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N - Re-flashing stock rom, to try and locate the stock firmware (rom) so that I could re-flash it.
From my other post I have been able to locate the following firmware (roms) for the phone.
I8190NXXAMJ2_I8190NBTUAMJ1_BTU.zip
I8190NXXAMG1_I8190NOXXAMG1_BTU.zip
I8190NXXALL6_I8190NOXXALL3_BTU.zip
I have tried flashing all of the above firmwares (roms) one by one, but I am still having the same issue.
Can anyone please advice me on anything else that I can try.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.
I am still having issues with this phone, and would really like some help and advice.
I found this post with a similar issue: S3 Mini stuck in boot loop after flashing cm 10.2 try odin am i missing a step?
The above post pointed me here: Official ROOTED firmwares for the SIII mini - OXX csc
I have once again tried all the I8190N firmware (roms) listed, and I am still having the same issue as before.
Just to recap the issue that I am having.
The phone will switch on, get as far as displaying "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" then the phone restarts, this will on happening.
If you try to start the phone in bootloader / recovery mode the phone will just display "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" and sit there.
Powering up the phone in Odin mode seems to work fine.
Thanks again for your time.
Best Regards.

Let me understand.
Download mode is working fine and ODIN recognizes phone ?
You tried to flash stock ROM via Odin ?
But It still stucked in bootloop ?
That is correct.
Are you sure about did you find the stock ROM ?
Behind the battery there is a paper. With S/N you may understand which baseband do you have
I am not sure about the stock firmware (rom), that is why I have been asking for help and advice.
The sticker under the battery has the following details:
MODEL: GT-I8190N
FCC ID: A3LGTI8190N
SSN: -I8190NGSMH
IMEI: ******/**/******/*
S/N: R21D7D7BEJE

Are you above to advice me what is the correct firmware (rom) I need with the above details?
Best Regards.
You should try kies. It will find the correct ROM but I didnt use it and its diffrent from ODIN
Kies does not work, when you have kies loaded and then plug the usb cable into the phone kies just shows connecting but fails to connect or do anything else.
You need to unistall ODIN. Did you entered your phone S/N and did kies download the files ?

Here are some question about Kies.
Does Kies detect a rooted device and deny its USB connection?
Or limit any feature on it?
I`m facing a problem using Odin and USB connection while
trying to flash TWRP update on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-I8190N).
i have no issue using Kies to make a backup before, so i`m guesting that`s the reason.
my solution was to uninstall Kies temporarily(keeping the backup files).
Its no major problem, just trying to communicate and share opinions in this forum.
Anyone having/had this kind of problem?

I did. Probably after done the backup via Kies, I think (not sure the exact time).
I was looking forward on flashing custom ROMs.

Hey Guys,

I have a (Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 DUOS [SM-J320F]) Phone.
And i want reset my Flash counter, because i want to Unroot my device to have a normally unrooted and unflashed Phone, like a Phone that was bought shortly.
Yes i know that this Firmware isn't supported, but i'am wondering why is it not supported ??? That's massive unfair for the other peoples and i really need to reset my Flash counter.
I Hope anyone can answer me
Hello guys. I have problem with my little phone S3 Mini GT-I8190. My phone was brick and cant show up any samsung logo (RIP), then i bring it to friend and he say “much change the internal memory”. He give me choice, “change to 16gb, 32gb or still on 8gb?”. I choose 16gb. Then my phone normal again.

What happend?? Can someone give me a solution?? Or give me a link to tread that talk about this problem?
Thank you and sorry my english.
