Galaxy mini doesn't do anythin HELP

Hello,

Now i root the phone with superoneclick. i downloaded rom manager and clicked on the first option flash clockwork mod, there was a popup and i clicked the first one accidentatily and after a few seconds he said he was finished.. i turned of the phone and know he deosn't do anything at all no recovery, no download mode please help me fix the phone!
----
Edit
I just discovered that when i have plugged in the phone to the computer, and i press the buttons for recovery mode then the computer recognize my phone. Can i do anything now to make my phone work again, it seems like my display doesn't turn on by a wrong rom installed
bricked. (not very sure,cwm frm rom manager is partially supported now. work in progress)

That is a nice, nasty, hard brick.
If you are getting into download mode and ODIN running on the PC recognises your phone, you are lucky - get any stock rom from samfirmware and flash it first. Use the phone for a few days more, and then, you can upgrade to new 7.1 cyanogenmod ROM.
try going into download mode by holding home and vol down the connect the usb 2 ur phone
or try holding vol up+down home and power
if it doesnt work try getting a jig from ebay
get a jig its the only way to fix it
SSC (Samsung Service Center) is the only way.
Congrats, next time read before doing anything.

Try flashing with odin. Download odin 1.85
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...IxHp1ISlP2fzGKhtw&sig2=UlJZ22a2ZwqNUSdKQZaUQg
Then download the proper recovery here
For the 7310 and the 7300

Boot your tab holding down the power button and the closest volune button
Instead of booting into recovery, enter into download mode.
Connect the device to your computer with the usb cable
Open up odin
Make sure you do not have repartion checked
Click pda and find that recovery file you downloaded on your computer
Click start and let it run. Do not interrupt it.
Hi
I faced the same by trying to flash CWM from rom manager itself.
I could resolve issue by just reflashing with odin correct clockworkmod recovery
I did the same thing than you
+ I rebooted using "reboot in recovery" so normal boot fail
+ BootLoader "Vol Down + Power" fail also because I tried to reach the recoverymod through it.
+ It doesn't reload
Somebody as any idea ?

Set the tablet down and let it die if it still has battery charge. if it doesn't have a charge hook it up to your charger and leave it there for a while. After some time has past with the charging cable still connected hold down the power and vol button and go into download. not recovery
then follow the steps of my previous post. Download odin and the proper recovery for your device and flash it through odin

Actually the device was bugged with a black screen, not turned off.
When I woke up this morning it was perfectly booted. So I turned it off and flashed the recovery again.

[Q] Galaxy Ace S5830C - cant acess download mode

I read some tutorials here in the forum on how to root your phone! I was able to successfully perform. Until that point, my phone was still booting android 2.3.3 (ginger) that came from the factory.
Then I went into recovery mode and installed 5.0.2.6 ClockworkMod! Installed successfully too! Then I tried to install some roms modified for the S5830I, as read on the internet that the roms of them are compatible with the S5830C.
I tried the first version of the ICS lite and basic, the two images, when installed by clockwork gave no error messages in the terminal, but when you restart the machine could not boot the system.
I installed and booted each version of the ICS modificias separately. I tried other roms. gave some errors "gep.prop" because of non-compatibility with my model. In the end, tried to use the method with ODIN, but my phone can not boot the mod download! Yes, I tried all the tutorials!
I know I need to press the home button, power, volume down (...) I tried to use the ADB "adb reboot download", and also got no answer!! So ODIN does not detect my phone! Percebir also that the recovery mode always resets to a version e3 (I think it is the factory default recory) with this recovery can not seem to wipe the cache or data.
Really broke my phone? Why the hell i can get a good status of installation with the roms but can not boot them?
It's a classic
Yes you did break your phone, unless you try this last trick:
take out your battery
wait until your phone is completly uncharged internally (an hour or so)
go to a hot place like a radiator or somthing like that
do the "download mode trick" with the battery still out
put the battery in while still holding the buttons
repeate if it doesnt work
when you get the downloadmode, you are a lucky person. the rest you seem to know how it works... simply flash a new rom
I hope it works!

Yea I know that, but it wont boot to recovery or download mode.
But when I press volume up home and power odin detects it
heyy, the problem already has a solution?
my phone S5570 also has the same problem, black screen, can not go into recovery mode or download mode.
but go to RAMDump (vol up + home + power) and connect it to my PC, my S5570 is detected by the PC and odin, but can not flashing my rom.
stuck in "Setup Connection" I know it because my phone is not in the download mode.
whether the USB JIG is the right solution?
sorry if my language is bad

(I think this set of steps works in these
conditions: Hard-brick, absolutely non-
responsive to any button combination.
Odin still recognizes the phone when
connected through USB port)
1.- Remove both the SIM card and de
microSD card.
2.- KEEP YOUR BATTERY REMOVED
3.- Apply the Download-mode button
combination (known by you all)
4.- WHILE HOLDING THE
COMBINATION, insert the battery, and
keep the buttons pressed untill you get
the download mode.
5.- Flash your phone with a valid
firmware through Odin (Preferebly,
have Odin prepared before doing this
trick).........
hit thanks if this helped you and others....

brick s5570
I have a Samsung mini S7750, in resetting to factory defaults boot.
Boot mode or recovery mode does not.Only works is a combination of "home + vol up + vol down" moves into some mode where it while Odin detects the two com ports, but nothing to do, Odin hangs on setup conection.
JIG does not work [resistor 301kohm].Display is black.

Hi. My S5570 is hard bricked. Will not turn on in any way i try. Does not go on download or recovery mode. The USB Jig method does not work for me. (I tried with around 3) and I connected my phone to my laptop and help down power + home + vol up and it does not recognise my device but when i do power + home + vol up + vol down it recognises it. I then used Odin to recover it but I have tried over 50 times and it is always stuck on "Setup connection...". Can someone please help? I have already tried re-installing Samsung USB Drivers. Still not working. Please help and thanks!

Only hold vol up+home+power and THEN connect it if download mode works. I mean if it's recognized by the computer, download mode has to work, there is no way. If it does, then flash a stock ROM.
Oh and also something: before doing this, pull out your sd card and even your sim card. The same thing happened to my phone and Odin could flash it after removing everything.

There is another way that u can try:
(Asumming that samsung mobile drivers are installed, with no Samsung KIES... & odin running in the foreground.)
*Remove sim, sdcard & battery.
*Now connect ur phone(without battery) to pc via usb cable.
*Now press the usual download mode keys(volume down & home & power buttons) together without the battery.
*While still holding those three buttons, insert the battery.
At this point Odin should detect ur phone so that u can flash stock firmware.
U can try this atleast since u r left with no choice:sly:.
Good Luck..!!:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!

HELP! Bootloop, restart continuosly, and download mode can't detected on my PC

Hi there, i want to ask some help to you. This is very sucks for me, when i need to communicate with my family and my friends, my phone was had a probelm. First probelm is my phone was bootloop, it was booted just until "Samsung Galaxy S III Mini" logo. Second probelm, after that bootloop, my phone was restarted and go back again to boot logo, and then restart again and go back again to boot logo, again and again continuosly until my battery was drain down. And the last probelm, after i found that probelm then i try to flash my phone to newest version firmware, when my phone enter to download mode and try to connected to my PC, it not recognized with my PC, indeed there's no notification that the device is not recognized (normally if you connect the device to PC and not recognized, will show notification "USB Not Recognized"). I try to connect again on Windows 7 (My PC was dual-booted Windows 10 and Windows 7), there's no changed, still not recognize and not showing notification. And then, an hour ago before i posted this post, i try to connect and flashing in my friends PC, but still not recognized. I think there's no probelm with my USB cable, when i use to charging, it still working.
And then i really really really need your solution, PLEASE help me, i dont have much money to repair my phone because i just have IDR 10000 (converted to USD is just $0,95) and my guarantee is expired. Soon i will face the National Exam and i dont want lost my focus to that. I hope i can get the best solution quickly. Thanks for your attention, sorry for my badly english. :crying::crying:

just a little side note....where did u get windows 10.......good luck with the phone
Hi whith model s3mimi you have i8190x or 8200? If 8190 do that:
1.Download drivers and Odin from novafusion.pl/downloads, there is section s3mini->extras and heres Drivers and Odin.
Download stock rom from sammobile or samsung-firmware for your specific model and location.
2.Install drivers, next unzip to any location Odin and downloaded rom, but in the same place both.
3.Take out battery and put in the phone, then push Vol- Home Power buttons until you see Download mode, then clik Vol+ to enter it.
4.Open Odin and select PDA and find unpacked stock rom then connect phone to usb. Make sure that ONLY Auto Reboot*and*F.Reset Time are selected.
Your pc find drivers and Odin show to you in first box in left corner info about port:comX, nevermind what number of Com but you must see info about Com port. Its important.
5.Pull button Start and wait few minutes. On finish your phone restart, you dont need to disconnect from pc. Now wait 5-8min, in this time you see only logo samsung and thats all. After logo you see configuration panel and voila.
If not see configuration screen after 8min, pull out batt, put in, go to recovery by Vol+ Home Power Buttons and clean cache, next do factory reset. Now might be work, but after restart you still wait max 8min until see configuration screen.
