When you enter download mode do you have your phone connected to your computer through a USB cable and is Odin detecting your phone? If you are able to access download mode you can download the stock firmware for the Galaxy Mini from here and then using Odin which can be downloaded from here, flash the firmware to the device. Let me know if you still have questions .

Thanks a lot for the response !!!
I download drivers, Odin, and tar.md5 file, great...
but I start Odin with the package I get the "an unnamed file was not found" error, I search and I found that XDA_Galaxy_mini_OPS
Then I add it and it went everything well
Mobile is up and running again, and even I didn't loose all configurations and programs, GREAT !!!
Thanks again !!

Remove then insert battery. Then try holding volume down and home button while holding power button. Will it go to download mode? If yes, read hubix's tutorial in the development subforum it's a sticky thread.

Next time , use ODIN for flashing firmware . Kies was NEVER EVER reliable .
go to recovery mode perform a factory reset/data wipe that should fix it
Please use ODIN and flash with the one-package file from samfirmware. I did the same when Kies bricked my phone too while upgrading to Gingerbread. It works!

Nope, there is no recovery mode accessible either when Kies bricks your phone. Happened to me so. Just a stupid screen with a computer and phone icon with <!> in between them. But anyway my suggestion above of using ODIN should help him out. =)
I am just sharing my experience and hope it helps.

You are responsible for taking risk of upgrading your phone or pc. I just shared my experience in hope if it helps someone.
I had bricked my phone once where I could just see black screen and after some tries white screen and nothing. I removed SD Card and SIM Card and kept it aside. I then removed battery and tried putting phone in download mode. It still did not work then I waited 4-5 min and then inserted battery again. Then I tried putting phone in download mode and it successfully gone in download mode. Then my phone was not getting recognized thru USB cable for ODIN. I changed USB port still same issue then restarted my PC and then I connected phone to USB port and finally got Froyo installed again on my Galaxy Ace thru ODIN.
My phone is bricked

Is it stuck at the Galaxy Ace sign or the boot animation ?

Hi All,
I have just recently bought a Korean SG II (M250S). On trying to root (actually trying to flash an insecure Kernel) the phone using ODIN (tried 1.85 as well as 1.83) I am running into a problem where if I connect my phone while its turned on then it is recognized by ODIN (Com port is displayed and all) but if I put my mobile is downloading mode then ODIN doesnt recognise it. I have tried everything and have read through the forums here on XDA as well but havent been able to find a solution to this problem. Help would be appreciated.
And before anyone asks, I have also tried killing Kies Tray Agent before running ODIN but still havent had any luck. Since the phone gets recognized by ODIN while its turned on (and also detected by Kies when its on) I am guessing its not a drivers issue but something else.
In the downloading mode it doesnt really say Downloading, rather some other characters (I am guessing Korean) are displayed. Is that normal for Korean SG II's ?
How to use ODIN.
Open Odin select file to flash.
Boot download mode .
At first screen press Vol up to proceed .
Connect usb cable
Flash via Odin start tab
jje
Thanks Buddy, the Vol up button did the trick.
I actually had a Galaxy S before this and in that I didnt have to press the Vol Up after going into Downloading Mode hence the confusion .
I was worried for a while that I was stuck with something that I could not root ...thanks a million.
Hi. I'm new to here so please i appreciate any help you can give .
So the story is... I own a samsung galaxy gio S5660 (i have Android 2.2.1 ) and i wanted to flash a custom rom on it. Well i forgot that i had to root it, so i just flashed the CWM recovery on it and now i cant get into the recovery, the samsung logo just stays. The phone works, it boots up but only not in the recovery mode :s. Also, i cant root from the pc either because i get unknown device, i installed kies, reinstalled the drivers... I get the error : Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). It charges via usb but doesnt connect as storage or something like that :/ i cant figure out what to do. The root programs dont recognize/find the device so am i screwed or what :s. I know i was stupid that i didnt think about the root. I've done the rooting on a tablet many times so i dont know why i forgot to do it :s
Thank you for reading. Hope i get an answer
BUMP BUMP-
I did a factory reset with the code from the phone and now its stuck on the samsung logo :s. It enters download mode and fastboot but the most important problem is that the pc doesnt recognize the device so i cant use odin or any similar program to flash a new recovery on it :s. Is there anything i could do?
I tried reinstalling the drivers multiple times.
I tried on 2 laptops and 1 desktop but it's all the same :S.
BUMP.
Help please
BUMP T_T
jaja
Prepare ODIN with the firmware you want to flash (in my case was Gingerbread 2.3.4) and get it ready to go.
-
Remove battery, wait for a bit. Insert battery again.
-
Flash a recovery with your specific filesystem (EXT4 or RFS)-(If you have EXT4, download ext4 only, don't get ext4+rfs)
-
Enter recovery & Wipe | Format:
System
Data
Cache
Dalvik Cache
Have ODIN ready. Connect phone to PC.
-
Reboot to Download Mode
Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time.
-
At this point Odin should have detected your Galaxy Gio (Yellow rectangle should appear).
-
Insert the Stock Rom or Custom Rom.
-
Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
-
Reboot and wait

It's not my fault if you hard brick your phone using this methods.
Thanks for answering, but i cant enter recovery as i mentioned early and also odin doesnt detect my phone in download mode :s. When the samsung logo just stays i plug also the usb in then the pc says it cannot recognize the device and its listed as unknown which i before also mentioned. When i attempt to enter recovery it just also stays at the samsung logo and isnt entering it :s..

Guys i still dont got the answer :c
The story:
Got a phone with some software problems when calling from a spouse. Tried to update the ROM and it bricked.
Status:
endless loop of bootscreen
could enter recovery mode and boot CWR
can not enter download mode
unable to boot system
Tried endless guides and instructions with stock ROM's and firmwares. Some of them installed some didnt - none worked. Still in endless loop.
Gave up yesterday and went to bed to keep trying today.
Now its totally bricked.
- no recovery mode
- no download mode
- no boot screen
- cant connect to PC via USB (Odin wont recoqnize)
The only sign of life - whatever I do it has black screen with backlight on but nothing else.
What can I do? They say that a broken phone is only with hardware problems but could I have f**** up the software so much that its the same?

You can try this guide by @SuperMini to force open Download Mode from odin. Here is the link,
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace
Make sure to use the key combination of Download Mode for your device as the one mentioned in the guide is for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. If that doesn't work, then you can try the USB Jig (not always guaranteed to work). If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode so you can flash stock rom back using odin. If USB Jig doesn't work either, then your last option is to consult the Service Center. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

1. make sure you have installed drivers on your computer
2. remove battery > connect phone to computer > press volume buttons and lock key
3. if you get a black screen just press the volume up button.
odin will recognize the device
if this does not work then try multi-formatter
using it, format rfs partition and then install some custom rom.

Hello everyone, it's with a great thrill that I found a couple of days back the existance of the beautiful wackyrom available on your forum.
After considering it I took willingly the risk of installing it... and following all indications of flashing cwm via odin and wiping all for of data in the proper oder, I got myself stuck in a pretty unpleasant situation : CMW recovery loop. I tried to start from scratch again and again and I even tried to go back on the stock firmware (which wasn't the original french one installed on my phone but a foreign one). I know I may have made a newbie mistake, but seeing the strength of your helping community Im hoping to revive what now looks more to me like a brick phone than ever. In advance, I thank all attention and anwsers to my case.

Flash this Stock recovery via odin : http://d-h.st/hcA
Instruction:
1) Put phone in download mode by powering off ,home button and volume down while plugging the phone into the computer(if don't and don't understand search google their are many guides and videos for it)
2) You should now see the first square in Odin turn yellow and say "Ready"
3) Click on the pda tab in Odin and select the Stock_Recovery_GT-I8552.tar you downloaded
4) Click start and wait for your phone to reboot
5) Done!
Well, I should have added that to the list of things that I have tried before. The only divergence to your methode is the fact that the keys to force start the downloading mode does not work so I only can acces it thrue a restart in downloading mode within CWM...
I have wiped all pilots/kies traces off my computer, checked rooting of the phone using kingo android root, reinstall my drivers from scratch and yet Odin still dont recognise it.. Does anyone have a clue?

I also have the same problem. I have read all threads from google about this matter, that say flash rom, clear whatever2, blaz bla
BUT, still for 3 days I cant fix it. when it stuck in boot looping or turn off, odin didnt recognise my phone
Dear friends,
Install Samsung kies and it will install all the proper drivers for your phone.
Then use another port of your pc or laptop to connect with odin.
If changing your pc ports doesn't work then try to install kies on another pc perhaps.
After the phone gets connected to pc follow @lols21.10 instructions.
Worth a try.

Also: if Odin don't recognize your phone, try to change your usb cable
Changing PCs worked for me a while back.

Does Odin recognize your phone when in download mode?

not either. because my phone need to be turned on in normal mode when connect to my pc, then i need to choose the usb option whether to transfer files/camera/charging.
and only then Odin say "ready"
Do this: put your device in download mode and then you reflash firmware with Odin.
You can do this by turning your phone on pressing the buttons HOME, POWER and VOL DOWN. When your phone vibrates, release POWER and keep pressing ther other two. A screen with a warning will appear, and you press VOL UP to confirm. After that, you open Odin, plug your phone on computer and select the stock firmware by clicking on button "PDA" at Odin. And then it is just start and wait.
Same Problem
