I think my s3 mini is bricked - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

(first of all i apologize for my english)
My s3 mini got bricked after installing twrp last year. 1 month ago when I was trying to download stock rom, I couldn't enter twrp anymore. Now I can only enter download mode. Sometimes Samsung logo flickers and disappears when trying to turn it on, won't turn back on. is there a solution?
model : GT-I8190

(your english is perfect, no need to be sorry!)
step 1. put it in download mode (hold power, volume down, and home until the warning screen appears, then let go and click volume up)
step 2. connect it to PC
step 3. launch odin
step 4. download twrp and choose the twrp file in the AP slot and flash
after flashing, it will reboot and you can put it in recovery mode (hold power, volume up, and home until the boot screen with the phone's name appears, then let go of power but keep holding the other 2 until it boots into twrp)
hope this helped!

[Q] Mini S5570I stuck on loading screen / failed recovery flash

Hello,
So I have a galaxy mini s5570i version and I tried to flash recovery on it. As i realized Odin can't seem to identify this version, I might be wrong tho, god hope so. So i tried to find another way of flashing it. I managed to get root on it (with an update.zip) but I couldn't find any cwm for it, so at last I tried my luck by putting the s5570 cwm 5.2.0.8 touch recovery on it via the original recovery.
Now the phone hangs on boot logo, I assume it can't find the system partition or something like that.
I'm still able to get into stock recovery and download mode.
What are my options?
Can I get custom recovery on it via odin or sd card or somehow?
Can I get back to original Android at least via sd and downloaded stock ROM and update that?
Thanks in advance
Your Phone is Probably soft bricked.
If your phone can go to odin mode, (Vol. Down + Home Button + Power Button) you are saved.
1. Download this: S5570I.rar

5. Press PDA and choose PDA_S5570I....
6. Press PHONE and choose MODEM_S5570I....

10. Press Volume Up to enter The Odin Download Mode
11. Now the ODIN should recognize your phone (Yellow text comes up in the program LEFT upper corner)
12. Press start
13. Just wait and your phone will auto reboot.
Change the language by pressing the bottom right button when booted, because it will start at some language i don't know

YOUR ODIN MUST RECONISE IT (Yellow Box at the left) AND USE BOOTLOADER FIRST!!

Question Question about booting into Boot Loader

I'm now finally trying to flash the T-Mobile version onto my sm-g998u1, When I follow the instructions to get into bootloader it just restarts the phone normally like a regular reboot? Any guidance on getting this done correctly. Below are the steps I saw how to reboot into bootloader:
Turn off your Galaxy S21.
Connect it to your computer using a USB cable.
When the charging percentage level animation stops, hold the Volume UP + Power keys simultaneously for 5-7 seconds.
Keep both the hardware buttons pressed until you enter the Android Recovery mode.
Once you enter the recovery mode on your Galaxy S21, highlight Reboot to Bootloader using the Volume Down key and select it using the Power button.
Your Galaxy S21 will boot into the Download Mode
Much thanks and sorry again for the many posts.

Hi mate
Maybe step 3 is not quite right, you can check this thread it has a lot of information
Reboot Phone in Download Mode: Connect USB-cable to your computer. Hold down "Volume up" and "Volume down" at same time. While holding down, connect the USB-cable to your phone. Or use the command "adb reboot-bootloader"
Do not wait for the % animation.....
Further information here
You can also do it via ADB (adb reboot download)
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Glad I could help

M31 can't boot to android recovery mode

Hello, I'm having some problems with my M31, it keeps going into boot frequently every day. Whenever there is a call or any activity like opening the app it switches off and only turns back on if I press and hold the power button with volume keys. I tried to reset it hard but it will not go into recovery mode. I press and hold the power and volume up button but instead of recovery mode, it turns on. I don't know what to do, please help!
Recovery Android12: press and hold Volume Up and Power then plugin USB cable to PC
Reflash full firmware if you cannot get rid of the random boots.
yeah go into download mode and reflash full stock firmware . I did from here https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-M315F/INS. but to flash unofficial twrp, still donno how to flash twrp after vbmeta flash its not going into recovery.

Unfortunately I flashed a bad Rom to my note superiorOS rom.
As a result the put is stuck on superiorOS boot logo
I cannot with any of the usual key combos get into recovery mode or display the download mode screen.
I have tried to refresh with odin but although with the superiorOS boot logo it shows as connect to odin it will not get past setupconnection.
Any help would be really great.
Thank you in advance

If you're using Note9 you can try the following:
- Connect the usb cable to your pc
- Make sure you have the drivers installed (one way to do this is installing Samsung Dex for Windows)
- Press and Hold the Volume Down + Bixby button + Power Button
- After around 7 seconds, the phone should enter Download Mode and you can flash again with Odin or others
Another thing you can do if you have TWRP is first enter on Download mode, choose Restart and immediately after press and hold Volume Up Button + Power Button and it should enter Recovery Mode and boot TWRP

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I have tried all of those options and none work. My note 9 connects to the PC when I connect it, and shows as connected in Odin however the screen os stuck on the new roms boot logo. When I try and flash firmware through Odin even if I am using the .pit file odin get stuck at setupconnection.
