My phone keeps restarting with the famous vibration all the time.
To start the phone I must insert the battery.
I will only see the Windows white logo on blue background once and that's all. No Samsung logo. Then it restart over and over.
I tried the volume up - power button and so on without success. I didn't install upgrade neither installed any new application recently prior to this issue. Help:crying:

My Ativ S (i8750) ran out of battery, so I plugged it into a charger and waited. It powered up normally by itself, but stopped loading on the WP logo and just displayed it for a few hours (while still being charged).
Holding the power button resulted in restart, but it still stopped loading on the Windows logo. The only way to turn it down was to remove battery, and each time it refused to boot up into system.
The only things that still work on it:
-power and volume up: brings up the bolt icon,
-power and vol up + camera opens downloading mode,
-power and vol down (exclamation mark) worked only once after each rom flashing, but hard resetting wasn't possible due to the screen completly turning off (during key-combination; not answering for hours).
I was using this phone for a month before this, with official 8.1.1 done over OTA.
Since the downloading mode was working - I flashed it with the GDR3 CMJ1 rom. Everything went smoothly, but after the restart it greeted me with the same issue: stuck at windows phone logo (now with the older gdr3's look). Flashing it again, or with the gdr2 bme1 doesn't change anything.
What can I do to bring it back to life?
So I was using my phone normally and it suddenly turned off at around 30% battery (my battery is in a pretty bad state and I do know I have to replace it) but after leaving to charge for a bit and then turning it on it goes to the initial logo that says 'Samsung GALAXY S III Mini" and the phone doesn't go past it, it restarts infinitely and won't go past the inital logo, not even to the part where it shows up an animated blue samsung logo, I've tried infinite times doing volume-up + home button + power button and it doesn't go to the system recovery mode, it just doesn't go past the samsung SIII logo, so I've tried installing 3 different firmwares that are supposed to work through odin (Yes, the phone does boot to download mode with odin once you press volume down + home + power, but not recovery) and all of them have the same problem, it gets to the initial logo and restart infinitely, I haven't messed with the odin options (so the default 2 have always been checked), don't know what they do and every place I check out says to not mess with these options so I haven't touched them yet, so today I went to a local store and informed about my problem with the phone, they tried a new battery (just for test, didn't buy) and the phone still has the same problem, they told me I can leave it there and that they'll fix it within 1 day but I don't have the money for it right now (I believe they'll do the same thing I did?)... so that's about all I've done thus far.. what do you guys recommend me to do?
Im a newb about this stuff on installing OS/Firmware/whatever on mobile devices (never done this stuff before, only doing this because my phone has this problem) so if you're gonna tell me something please include some steps on what I should be doing!
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys.. I have a problem with my phone here's the story of what happened & what I have done so far:

Hello there!
Day ago I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy s3 mini (I8190) via PC using "Kingo ROOT". It didn't go as planned - rooting got stuck on 99% like for 3 hours, phone was restarting, which was told to be normal. Then I unplugged the phone from usb and now it is like it was on usb - it just keeps restarting and restarting. I can't even enter recovery mode or any other.
When I try to enter recovery mode it shows android spinning wheel spinning for 1 sec then stucks and after like 3 seconds it restarts.
Turning on goes till white lettered Samsung Galaxy s3 mini then restarts again.
Is there any way how to deal with this?
Hi guys,
this is my first post on this comprehensive website which helped a lot in the past by reading slimmer issues and their fixes,
now I have hard one, my oldie Galaxy note, GT-N7000, stopped working with the following symptoms,
The phone suddenly stopped, black screen, I removed the battery for a minute, put it back, pressed power button the phone stuck on Welcome Samsung logo screen,
removed the batteries for a minute, pressed the 3 combination Home+Power+up the phone give the first screen of recovery Waring " A custom OS can ......, then two option Volume Up: continue and Volume down to cancel (restart phone), if I press volume down the phone black died! otherwise if I press volume up the phone go to " downloading don't turn off target" stuck forever, no other keys are responding, I had to remove the battery and start again.
when I connect to Kies, refuses the "emergency firmware recovery" as I don't have recovery code, as well as when I use "firmware upgrade and initialization" it prompt me that this device is not supported!
lastly when I am in downloading mode connecting to Kies, the application trying to connect keep circulating like trying to connect with no result.
I charged my both batteries to 100% , changed 3 PC's, used different usb cables, nothing worked.
If you have an idea to share, I would be much grateful
Regards,
