[Q] Help! Galaxy S3 Mini I8190 not working! I'm REALLY desperate - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im getting desperate, PLEASE HELP!
ok, so yesterday i got a new SGS3 Mini I8190 with android version 4.1.1, i wanted to pass the apps that i downloaded to the SD card. so i saw that i had to root the phone bla bla bla. i try rooting it with odin following a website's tutorial on how to.
i get it into download mode and start followonf that tutorial. in a few seconds, the first square at odin says ''failed'' and my phone has almost 3/4 of the blue bar filled, and i cant do that. later i try turning it on and it has a phone, some dots, a yellow triangle with an exclamation sign, some more dots, and a computer.
then i dont know why, i just cant turn it on, i connect it and then theres only an icon that i think it means it charging but its fully charged!! its like a star that should spin but doesnt.
Please help me and let me know what to do, IM VERY NERVOUS.
if it works, i have Windows 7 x64.
Please help me!

Sorry to hear about this mate.
Can you get into DOWNLOAD MODE?
If you can, you may be able to flash the firmware again.

can some one help me I rooted my galaxy s3 mini like 1 month ago and I wanted to have a custom boot logo so I downloaded this app on aptoid then I picked the logo I wanted pressed download then it said download and install complete so I switched my phone off now it will not switch back on and wont evan go into download mode
First of all: Please read the rules about how to make a topic. Just "help" isn't gonna give you much help.
To make things more clear, whats the name of the app, and are we talking about bootlogo or bootanimation?
U sure your battery is loaded?

nope this still didn't work pal
Sv: help
Sounds crazy that the phone would get hard bricked in an attempt to change bootanimation. If download mode doesn't work you have no other choice but to take it so service.

seems same problem like mine....sent it to samsung service center...should be ok in 4 days, mine dead due to flashing wrong kernel.....i wonder if its caused by locked bootloader?

1) if u have downloaded a file from first link, it's enough. the guide also has a link, but it's older JB firmware.
2) just extract the contents into a directory and set the pda as the md5 file.

I'm an engg student, but that has nothing to do with this. months of reading threads, experimenting with my phone, couple of soft bricks, etc. taught me this.

There is no such thing as "best rom". It is all personal. Try them and see which one suits YOU best. In case of any troubles just flash back to stock as already mentioned (or get cocore cwm/twrp and create memory snapshot before any kind of modification - so you can revert your phone to that working state). Think windows restoration point that actually works.

1) yes, in India itself.
2)i think cm 10.1(my current daily usage ROM. pac is very good, but the latest cm build is not merged into it yet, so some older bugs are still there.
