[Q] Bricked and not recognized by usb.. - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
I am Belgian so i'm gonna try to do my best to find my english somewhere
I have a samsung galaxy s3 mini gt-i8190..
I have tried to flash with odin thru pda BUT it stopped with fail as result..
Then i have tried to put original firmware back the same way but fail again,
then tried again with same original firmware and succeeded..
Phone froze at samsung logo, tried again and now i got the message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Ok, so i plug the phone back in the usb cable: Device Not Recognized! (windows 7 ultimate laptop).
I can get in to download mode: still not recognized via usb.
recovery mode DOESN'T work at all (3 button combo) just the error message at the normal boot and the download mode.
So basically i can't flash cause i can't connect, reinstalled drivers, used another pc, same thing...
It doesn't even charge the phone..
Odin mode says:
Product name: GT-I8190
Custom Binary Download: YES (4 counts)
Current binary: Custom
System status: Official
So does there somehow any file exists to put on my sd card to access usb OR a file to go into recovery mode.
Any tip is welcome, will try them all..
Thanks by advance,
yoni089

Have you tried installing Samsung's USB Driver? I know installing kies comes with the USB drivers but just in case. You might want to check if it's properly installed in your computer. Try reseting your counter first with Triangle Away. Please tell me more of what you did.
Click on the thanks button if I helped!

Change usb port and make sure all processes with kies are killed in taskmanager.
Open Odin. Put the phone in download mode and connect usb.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply's
I did install Odin first, when i flashed my phone it failed..
So i decided to install kies to make sure i had the right drivers,
Uninstalled Kies without the drivers. The phone was still recognized back then!!
Flashed it again and again FAIL!
Since then NOTHING works with the usb connection, windows does not recognize my phone "unknown device".
So it doesnt even know what it is..
Uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, rebooted my laptop with battery out for a minute but nothing works..
Also i tried to connect to another pc but no luck..
So i guess the key on my phone for the driver to find is missing/deleted by flashing and failing..
That's why i asked if there is any file to putt on my sd card to be recognized by my computer.
I did tried many times using another usb port..
Also tried with and without sim card/ sd card.
(btw: does they have to be in there anyway?)
Thnx and grtz,
Yoni089

before flashing, make sure you can see a COM: something when you connect your device.

I know that, my connection worked fine i did see the com: port in odin and it said "added!".
then i started flashing again and suddenly "fail", got the triangle, went back to download mode, tried to connect again and windows OR Odin didn't recognized my phone anymore, device not recognized and no "com:" in odin.
Tried different ports, battery out for a minute, no sim, no sd, reinstalled drivers, nothing works..
That's the point why i made this thread cause i see no solution in this anymore, if i have no usb connection i can't flash ( OR IS THERE A WAY???), if i can't flash i probably can't get usb connection..
thx for the effort

With what you're saying, it seems something has gone corrupt. Maybe a binary or an image. Flashing a rom using your phone might fix this but it's not a 100% success. It might destroy your phone more or fix it. It's a 50/50... :fingers-crossed:

Ok. Many i8190 was delivered without working combo so I thought I should ask.
What happens when you try to enter recovery? (vol+/home/power)
Nothing at all, completely dead?

No kies, correct drivers, tried different ports. Then I don't know. Are you using original USB cable?
I once got a bad flash like you did, but at least Odin detected it and I was able to flash this firmware with repartition, because official stock fw didn't work for me neither.

Help...ODIN won't recognize phone in download mode

I have drivers installed, I've used Odin before but now it won't recognize the phone in download mode. It'll see it when it is on though. Any help??? This happened after updating to 2.3.3 through Kies.
Just noticed that the PC doesn't recognize the phone either now. Must be drivers issue. How do I fix it???

In Kies, there are Kies Driver installer, that install a bunch of drivers for phone.
Try to install all drivers and then connect phone again.

do you have the kies drivers installed? and is kies not running (inc. shut down tray agent?
try another usb port, that was a problem I had, Odin is picky with good or bad usb ports...

So i tried this, but it doesnt help. I still have in device manager something wrong.
When I'm trying Update Driver Software, windows cant found right driver...
Is it possible, that I something f*ct up at last flash? Before it everything works fine. When I flashed first time, i forgot the *.pit file - odin wrote "failed" - I tried it again, but correctly - everything was ok - I fashed kernel - after that in CMW I Instaled *.zip file with Juwe's ROM 4.3.1 and my phone reboot in landscape mode... and i cant change it to normal mode.
I tried factory reset from phone - there are some red lines with this: tsf format failed on dev/block/mmcblk0p2, but when i go to CWM mode through (volUP+home button+on/of button) and i did a factory reset there - is it without red lines. Somebody ask me if i tried reflash - so i am here with my "driver problem"

lol ok then just drivers then
I know this may sound dumb, but make sure you are using a compatible cable.. i.e. does data transfer, I bough a replacment cable months ago for my damaged one under the impression it did data because I could connect and transfer to USB (I know this is data)... but kies would not recognize the phone.. I ended up buying a real replacement. Problem solved.
I think, that my biggest problem is cannot connect to kies and odin...
i am in the end... so cabel is the same, i used it when i flashed befor - as i said my problem is in phone, not in drivers or cabels. Is here something to do flash without this drivers?
can you confirm there is no issue with your USB ports on your computer? just seems odd it wont recognize your phone in download mode... you are placing it in download mode when using odin right?
I just did a flash with mine to a stock rom,
Same problem, I can get to DL mode, but it does not recognize,
When I am in the standard Tab OS, with USB as mass storage, I can see if fine.
Odd how it just happened as well. I'd like to follow this thread see where it goes.
*edit reinstalling drivers does not resolve the issue,
- have not tried installing keis again yet though,
- also Odin recognizes it in Recovery Mode
*edit again - sorry guys, didnt realize i was in the i9000 forum, hit this on a google search and replied
I can go to the download mode throught 3-buttons combo - but odin recognize my phone - the same thing is in kies - it's vicious circle - i hope flash help me - but I cant do it, because i cant connect to odin
Unfortunatly I am out of help... I thin kyou may need someone who knows ADB and the phones system internals if ODIn won't recognize your phone in Donload mode... I have had my phone in several bad situations(Fried internalsd/bootloaders) but download mode would always connect me to ODIN..
Last try, try different versions of odin, 1.3 - 1.8 apparently it can be testy with different versions of windows.
Try the drivers & Odin 1.83 from my signature. Works all the time.

Bricked i9001! Help!

I have a problem with a i9001. I tried everything I can think off. It always stops when flashing in Odin 4.43 on:
<1>setup connection.....
I tried 3 different computers and all usb ports. Reinstalled Kies, installed only the samsung drivers. Rebooted several times. But still stops ons setup connection in Odin. I used several flashfiles: the seperate ones and the complete package....
I also used the jig to get the i9001 in download mode. To get the phone in Download mode is no problem, it works with the jig and also with the key combination. When i try to power the phone normal i get the Black Screen of Death. I also tried 4 different usb cables.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance....

Did you try another ROM for flashing? Or did you try to just flash a recovery and boot into that recovery? If you run ODIN with Vista / 7: did you right click and run as administrator? Did you take out the battery of your phone for about 10 min and then insert USB and battery back and try again...?
i had that problem with two phones, my i9000 and my friends rogers infuse. try different usb ports on the computer. if that dont work, look up some stock firmwares for you phone and try to flash them. i find the original stock roms work best for fixing this. just be calm, there is always a way to fix it as long as you dont fry nothing.

I tried 5 different computers (Windows XP and Windows 7), 5 different usb cables, several flashfiles. Always stops at setup connection.
I am still having the problem. i really tried everything I can find.
Have you installed the USB drivers for your phone? It is also important to kill ANY running KIES application/service via task manager.

The problem is, that my computer won't recognize it. Even if i am in download mode.All i get is the message "Unknown/unrecognized Device". It's worth mentioning that i've had some problems charging it lately. Could it be that the micro usb-port is damaged?

Windows cannot recognize it, as it doesn't boot.
However in downloadmode PC Odin dhould see it.
Start Pc Odin
Put the phone in download mode
Connect and see if the serial port in PC odin goes yellow.
If it does then reflash a stock rom.
If your phone works back, update Mobile Odin to the latest version, there
has been a problem with the latest roms where it bugs in flashing /cache
One more thing to add, close Kies before starting Odin, then put phone in dl mode, then connect phone, then flash Rom..

[Q] i8190n USB only charges

Hello!
I did a root with odin on my device many time ago, it was successfull. But after that, when I plug the USB in the computer, it only charges. It wasn't important for me, because my device was rooted.
But nowadays I tried to update to 4.4.2 from 4.1.2, so I thought that if I wipe cache and data the USB will work again... but no, so I thought: "maybe if I unroot...", and now I have a gt-i8190n without root and with an USB that only charges.
I tried to update from SD, but the result is: "signature verification failed".
I can get in download mode, but my computer doesn't recognize the device (tried in other computers, and with other cables).
So, here is my question: Will a JIG USB solve anything?
Thanks

I've tried many files (I can take the microSD and load files in the computer). But when I start the recovery mode and select external storage, it seems to work, until it arrives to that signature message.

I think you need to install the USB drivers for your s3 mini.
If you use TWRP as recovery then boot to recovery > settings > uncheck "Zip signature verification" then you will not again get a failed message.
Do a nandroid backup before you start flashing

The drivers are correctly installed, because the first time I rooted I had no problem, and after it, I have plugged another device (an i8190n, too) and the computer recognizes it without any problem.
I have a 3e recovery, so I can't uncheck "Zip signature verification".
May I start to look for a jig USB?

No wonder why it fails 3e recovery is the stock recovery from s3 mini. You can only flash signed zip from Samsung. You need a custom recovery for flashing custom ROMs if you still have root access then download from play store "ROM Manager" and install CWM recovery or download "[ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool" for flash CWM or TWRP recovery.

Put the phone in download mode and flash twrp in odin. It's the only way to put a new recovery there without root already.
Otherwise root it, and then flash recovery with rommanager or other similar app.

As I have mentioned before, my device USB only charges, there isn't communication with computer. I know how odin works, but the problem is with the USB.
I'm asking if JIG USB is the only solution, and if it will work.
Thanks for all the answers, but as I had said before... USB only charges :crying:

If there are no other way then try JIG USB if you think it will work

I'm not sure if it will work, but it's the last thing to try.
I have made an order of the jig USB, and it is supposed to arrive in 20 days (less than 2$ and free shipping). Until then, must wait... I'll will tell you if it works or not.
Thanks!

Even when you put your phone in download mode and then connect the cable?
If so, same thing will probably happen with a USB jig. They are only to force the phone to DL mode. You still have to connect it after that..
How can you tell that it charges in download mode? There is no icons for that.

Yes, when I connect the cable Odin doesn't recognize it, so I supose that only charges (it's true, perhaps it doesn't do it, there isn't any icon). It's supposed when I conncet the phone to the computer, it should pop up the "new storage" (with Odin closed), but it doesn't, only charges.
I want try USB jig, because I have read that it will put the counter to 0 (hoping is this the problem)

Counter is not set to 0 with usb jig on this device. We use triangle away for that.
If you got Kies installed, then uninstall it and install samsung drivers only.
See if there's dust in the phones usb. Take some thin plastic, but be gentle.
Just a few ideas but you've probably tried it all.

It's what I supposed, but it's a way to try if USB connection works (not 100% but if it doesn't work I will know it's a hardware problem)
I've tried uninstall Kies and install samsung drivers, I've cleaned the dust in the usb, but I don't understand what I have to do with the plastic, is the same plastic to keep food fresh? must put it on the usb?
not working yet
my USB JIG has arrived and I have tried it... and still doesn't work. Yes, it starts the download mode, but when I plug the USB to try something, the computer (ODIN) doesn't do anything. I have tried with my wife's phone and it works, it's a i 8190n, too.
I'm not going to try anything more, YOU WIN THIS TIME i8190n!
Hi, I have the same problem with my GT-8190, but it happens after my phone drop onto water..
charging is work, but it say "USB device Not Recognized" when I try to connect with PC..
now i want back to stock rom, but I can't do it if my phone not recognized to PC.
Do you have an idea how to flash official stock rom without PC(Odin)?
Sorry for my English
