S3 mini boot loop problem - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Earlier today after the installation of a music player from google play(i include the music player part because the incident occurred about 2 hours later), my phone has been doing constant boot loops.
It was working perfectly until it just suddenly blacked out, restarted itself and it makes it as far as samsung logo until it restarts again.
This was a pure stock s3 mini. When i came home, i decided to flash TWRP and change to a reputably working PAC kitkat. However the boot loop persists.
Any ideas? i'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance.

multiple times. Unless TWRP isn't getting the job done, which im sure isn't the case. I read a few threads where people had similar problems and it was suggested to do a battery change so ill try that and see what happens.

Guys i need some answers for a few questions please, or if possible, a link to thread(s).
1. Phone versions: Is there a way to identify your phone's version, example "I8190XXANC2", without having to turn on the phone. Im trying to locate my stock 4.1.2 JB.
2. I found a guide to unbrick soft-bricked S3 mini's. My problem matches one of the characteristics which is rebooting on its own after samsung logo. The guide includes the files, (and the stock ROMs hence why im trying to find my phone's version) and a param_I8190.tar file, which they say is to be used should the phone be stuck in a boot loop. My question here is, should i try the param_I8190.tar with Odin without flashing the stock ROM (i never rooted or customized my phone by the way)?
Again...thanks in advance for any assistance.

Just leaving this here...
The phone is apparently constantly unmounting the system and efs partitions. Whenever i reboot in recovery they are always unchecked. Is that normal?
Also it appears the phone works normally WITHOUT a sim card.....but i obviously need it to work with it.....i am baffled here and desperately need some assistance...any assistance.

Of course it's normal if system and efs are unchecked in recovery. So you mean your phone only booting without a sim card?

yea pretty much, thats the only hiccup. Would that have anything to do with the efs itself? Im still trying to understand what exactly it controls.

EFS is a folder that is saved in our smartphones. It controls IMEI number, serial number, WiFi MAC address, Bluetooth MAC address and many more. it means it's a very important folder and if you delete this folder then you can't call someone, turn on WiFi (because you don't have a MAC address anymore), Bluetooth etc. Only Samsung devices have an efs folder

flash the official firmware through odin. it should fix your problem. if it doesn't work then i don't know what to do else

ok thank you both. i also just found the official stock rom for my firmware. I did some digging myself and i believe i know what the problem is now. It appears the phone is missing it's nv_data.bin file, which i read induces a bootloop if it isn't present.
I will attempt the flash with odin and report in later. Hopefully it works.

It doesn't seem to be a problem with param or cache because the phone bots without sim.
Most likely is't something wrong with baseband or modemfs-folder.
Try to flash stock rom first and report back please.
DON'T do anything with your /efs. i8190 does not have NV_data.bin in efs like most sumsung devices do.

@xXPR0T0TYPEXx they didn't have the one from my region. had to get it from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8190 instead. it's already downloading.

Unfortunately, the phone is still bootlooping with the sim card. Works without sim. This is rather frustrating.

PROBLEM: Galaxy Ace flashed with Korean ROM for SHW-M240S

Hi All, I have done something stupid and now my ACE is a little bit broken.
After flash procedure with ODIN and Korean rom for SHW-M240S, my IMEI was changed and on a main screen appears sw number. So phone is working but different IMEI persist and this stupid RED sw number on a wallpaper
I was flashing back my phone with a lot of different roms, reset to factory values and still the same. Maybe full recovery from CODEROM could help, the problem is that i don't make backup Hope to find kind user, who will make a clean backup and send it to me... I'm just a girl and probably this is real problem

Why were you flashing a Korean Firmware anyway? You might get away with flash european roms on india or south american aces. But the korean ace has a different feature set. I think you have to restore nv ram which stores the IMEI. Maybe someone with experience with the matter will be able to help.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
Hope that i find someone with experience
Hey!
Maybe this can help out.

Still nothing, in Service Menu i have found menu "rebuild NV", so i did it but my IMEI are still corrupted.

still the same there was no android.img
Hey, iv got the same problem. Please help us! :-(
I was looking for similar files in European and Korean software... File amss, which is in MODEM tar archive looks suspicious... In all European roms this file has the same size, in Korean rom it's bigger. Maybe it overwrites something important in ACE?
Im trying everything and searching everywhere but still found nothing :-(
maybe someone advise if this helps https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=reception_search&searchValue=S5830
Same here.
one solution is installing VillainRom, there is no sys info on display. interesting!

Auto restart and error while searching for networks

Yesterday I installed cm9 everything worked well. Today I woke up with no phone signal. I did backup.. I reinstalled cm9 but the problem persists.. auto reboots and no signal. I tried other kernels ROMs and modems but nothing.

Im having the exact same problem... phone continually restarts especially after going to "sleep mode". No network access and google play not working.
The installed ROM's were:
-cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd
-gapps-jb-20120726-signed
I also tried reinstalling these two, but had the same problems.
Has anyone found the solution to this problem?

So, No I have installed 2 more... and both have the same problem, is it my phone? Do I need to format the partitions better? What I have done is:
-Wiped data/factory reset
-Wiped cache partition
-Reset permission
Installed:
-cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd
-cm-9-20120826-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd
-cm-7.2.0-galaxysmtd
As well as tried installing the cm-7.2.0-galaxysmtd mentioned above, not in all installations though.
I am located in Iceland... dont think that should play a part in it but perhaps I need to change some settings to find the networks?
Hope someone can help me with this... really is too bad not to have my "good phone" any more

Lucky me! I found a backup of my efs folder... what crazy luck! Im guessing that ClockworkMod Recovery auto backed up the efs folder.
But it was just like you said, the "My Android Solutions" pointed me to this thread which listed more than I expected of my problems.
Currently, my efs folder looks empty, but I think its just unmounted. How would I go about restoring the backup efs folder that I have? In "my android solutions", they suggest copy/paste via Root Explorer, followed by reboot and wipe cache, which I did without luck. The efs dir is still empty and probably because it is read only. There must be a simple solution to this since the backup must have been thought for a reason Do you know how I would copy/paste or restore this efs directory?
I figure its best to create a new thread about this, since this one is very old. For those that want to follow that thread, its right here.
Thanks again for your help

Try flashing stock rom from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
You may need to become a member(it's free) to download. Once you download the rom for your region and device, unzip the file and flash the .tar.md5 file in odin

EMMC Brick Bug takes another phone down. Unfortunately the EMMC is dead. You can try and take it to a specialized repair shop and have the EMMC replaced. But it would probably be very expensive. Download mode works because the SoC actually boots for download mode, EMMC is not accessed. Nand erase all is useless in this case, and Kies doesn't know what to do.

It will work normally, but make sure to take an i9300 motherboard for the normal S3 and an i9305 motherboard for the i9305. And also make sure to not damage anything. And not loose any screw (lost one already and regret it).
The IMEI will be different (if you have the box) but other than that, make sure the motherboard is tested, works 100% and doesn't have any problem.
Don't forget to push the tanks button just in case

how to change IMEI.... i wish to put my old IMEI ( in Box ) any option??
Very tricky, may not work and it could possibly blacklist both the IMEIs. Generally, IMEI copying is done using specialized programmes, but it is not generally both allowed, practical and in some parts, or global, ILLEGAL.

If you can't connect to PC or boot to any modes then you're not gonna be able to flash it. You're device isn't completely dead though, a JTAG might work. Also, flashing via Odin might work whether USB debugging was checked or not, when the system is corrupted bad enough, that doesn't matter because there is nothing there to tell it that it is blocked from flashing.
The debrick from sdcard method for S3 linked below might work for the S6.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660566
If you can find someone with the exact same model device that has theirs rooted, you can get them to pull a debrick.img from the device then you can use that debrick.img to create a bootable SDcard to boot the device from it. Then you can restore the device.
You need to understand that the S3 and the S6 are partitioned differently so everywhere in those instructions for S3, when it mentions a file or partition or partition location(mmcblk0), you will have to ignore what it says for the S3 and research your device to make sure that you are using the correct files, partitions and partition locations for the S6 and not the S3. This method may or may not work. You need to find some of the experienced S6 members that might understand this method enough to adapt it to your S6.

In the S6 forum here, start reading through threads that have recently been posted, or other threads where there are guides to unbrick or restore to stock, I'm sure you're smart enough to figure who there is well experienced by how/what members there are posting. The fix for problems aren't always as simple as saying "here's some links, here's some files", sometimes it takes hours/days/weeks of reading to find what you need. Get to looking on the S6 forum for experienced members, reply to their posts in threads to ask them about what you want to know, send them a PM to ask them. I'm trying to help you but I've reached the end of what I know that will help you. Its up to you find what you need, I'm just telling you where to look.

Galaxy Note 8 won't recognize sim card

Hello Friends,
So I have quite the problem here. I recently tried to root my new Galaxy Note 8 sm-n9500 128gb. Apparently something went wrong and the root didn't work.
Not only that but since then my Phone wont recognize my sim card anymore and can't use mobile data because of that. It also shows no more IMEI.
I looked for guides how to fix that but coulnd't find any. So I started from the beginning with unlocking the bootloader trough BlueEffects Guide. After that installed TWRP and then magisk. TWRP will install but then the phone crashes and goes into a bootloop. I can hard reset and then it works again, tho TWRP seems to be unable to flash anything. I tried also SuperSu next to magisk but nothing works. If i understand correctly if i would succeed rooting the phone, I can just flash a new modem on the phone, or the EFS Folder and it should work again. Or also use some Apps with root rights to get the IMEI back?
I would appriciate anything that could help me restore my phone.
Thank you so much.
Regards Patrice

I think you may have to take your phone to a service centre.
Seeing as you have erased the IMEI number from your device you would have to reflash back onto the BIOS

If i understand it correctly that shouldn't be too hard to do by myself if the phone was rooted. The problem is that I can't get the phone rooted. I tried with BlueEffect's guide but it didn't work.
Now i have the problem that I can't seem to get Odin to do anything. No matter what I try to flash it always fails instantly after "connection setup". It worked before tho, so I really don't know what the problem is.

Sounds like that you may have completely wiped and unformated the internal storage on your device. I would recommend that you reformat it with the mtr setting.
