Samsung S3 Mini I8190 Keep Restarting by Itself - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I'm from Indonesia, pardon my bad grammar.
First of all, my phone problem came from Freedom App which affects to Playstore error. I've tried to fix it with factory reset, it fixed.
And then my friend ask me to play a game which forced me to upgrade its OS from Jellybean to Lollipop, by myself. I know i'm new on this stuff but i tried to learn.
So, i used Samsung Kies to do that but it said already the newest update on that phone, then I download Lollipop 5.0x and Gapps file (i forgot the exact Gapps) and copy to SDcard try to upgrade by myself via Recovery Mode, it didn't work.
Then, i tried to reboot and download ROM Manager by Clockworkmod, after successful install Lollipop zip I install Gapps zip but it's not installed, then I just reboot without Gapps (i know i messed up) after my phone turned on and skip all register and open some apps it force closed.
So, I go to setting and system reset, apply. after reboot, it stuck on Samsung S III logo and keep restarting by itself. I've tried to go Recovery Mode but it couldn't, the only thing it can do just perform a Download Mode.
Then, I download Odin 3.10.7 and I8190DXALL3_I8190OLBALL4_HOME.TAR.md5 to fix it. After Green Pass and unplugged my phone i tried to turn it on but it keep restarting by itself every 30 seconds or whatever (happened 5 Hours ago).
And now i take the battery off, wait 20-30minutes then put it back and turn it on again; recovery mode; download mode, it stuck with "circle loading icon". Then keep restarted by itself every 5 minutes (maybe battery problem makes it slower ).
And now it stop restarting itself though i can turn it on or recovery mode or even download mode, still stuck on "circle loading icon". I'm desperate.
I will appreciate every comment, thank you

[Q] Stuck at boot after upgrade Revolution HD

Hey guys,
I just upgraded to Revolution HD 32.0 (coming from 31.0).
Here's what i did.
Boot into recovery.
Clear cache+dalvic-cache.
Install zip from sd-card (select revolution hd 32.0)
Started Aroma installer, left everything pretty much default, just removed some of the samsung junk.
After the install was finished i cleared the cache again and rebooted the device.
It started with the start up logo and after a minute or so "Android upgrading..." with the applications counting.
After that it shows "Finishing boot"
Then nothing, it stays at that for like 5 minutes, then reboots and stays stuck at the samsung logo.
So i decided to boot into recovery, whipe caches and fix permissions and reboot again.
Same thing happened as before.
So i wanted to do a full clean install of the rom, wiping all userdata.
Surprise! Can't get into recovery or download mode anymore.
Took out battery for a few minutes and put it back in.
Still can't access download mode or recovery with vol+menu+pwr...
Does anyone know what's going on, or better, how i can possibly fix this?
I have no idea how to access my device now to make changes...
Thanks a lot!
If you can't get into bootloader with vol down, home and power button then you have a brick, service centre repair required.
Worth trying a USB repair jig to get download before paying for a repair .

Lenovo A820 won't start

Hello everyone!
I have a Lenovo a820 with Lambda rom 2.4v.
I'm using it for a couple of weeks now with this last version, and everything was fine, until suddenly it froze for a while, I unplugged the battery and plugged it again, and what I notice was that the phone restored itself to when after I installed the rom (meaning all of the apps were gone).
So I tried going into Google play, installing some apps back, and I get this error -24 telling me its unable to install the app, happened with any app I tried. so after trying a few suggestions from the internet about this error, I decided to format it and install the rom all over again.
I go back to recovery mode with CWM, try to install the lambda rom like I did before, and in the middle of the installation it reboots and gets stuck in the "lenovo" screen like when you boot it. so after waiting for a long time I unplugged and plugged the battery again, went through the procedure again this time it installed it 100% rebooted so it would boot with the mod, and again, it freezes at "lenovo" start screen unable to boot.
went on recovery mode, formatted system, data, emmc, everything... I think that's the issue here. but im not sure.
After that, tried to install again with the same problem.
The problem now is. it won't even start I press the on/off button to start it normally, and I dont even get the "lenovo" screen, I tried going into recovery mode and no luck.
It's like the phone is dead! Although I have another Lenovo A820 and I tried the battery, and its 60% so that's not the battery.
Do you guys know any tricks? or any tools that I could use to get my phone running again?
I would appreciate it very much, any help you can give.
Matt.

SU binary update stuck at reboot

I know this is a known issue, but the thing is that most solutions i have found regard looking into the phone's settings.
The thing is I can't even boot my phone any more. The moment I get the Galaxy SIII GTI9300 logo the phone simply freezes there forever.
It's been like hours like this. I even tried removing the battery for half an hour and put it back. It just won't boot any more.
I didn't install a custom ROm after rooting, the phone was freshly rooted and didn't got to that step yet.
I rooted the device by using the toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...msung-galaxy-s3-unified-toolkit-v8-0-t1703488
which surprisingly worked pretty fast and I was able to confirm that my phoen was rooted by installing a root-only app (Root Uninstaller)
then i got a message asking me to update the SU binary and when i accepted the update the phoen restarted never to boot again.
I didn't even get the chance to get the ClockworkMod yet.
Now I don't even have ClockworkMod's menu at the beginning, i have nothing. only the classic boot mode that allows me to download software via Odin (which always fails no matter what package I try)
please help me, i have no other device than that right now....
Download-Mode
Hello and good morning,
have you tried to boot into download mode ?
It's the same like s3
Take the battery out for a few seconds . put it back in and boot into download mode again and it should work

Nearly softbricked my S6 edge, f.... up from time to time

Hi
Rooted my S6, and threw TWRP recovery on, put a "sixperience S7" rom on it, at first it worked flawlessly, but since I didnt make a factory reset i pulled one later, thats when my problems started.
Installs fine, reboots and the initial start and setup goes fine, but when the screen turns off and i wake it up again, the screen looked like a pc screen with no gfx driver, funky colors and very dark - tried two times to make a clean install, same happened
Tried to install stock rom with Odin, failed, tried 3-4 times, fails
Then i went into TWRP and deleted all......but seriously all......coudnt boot into anything then, not even download mode, got the message on the screen that "something went wrong in updating the firmware, try the emergency recovery with Samsung Smart Switch" That of course couldnt connect to the phone, when i finally got it to be recognized by the computer, my phone wasn't supported by the program (because it is rooted i read somewhere)
After an hour with a lot of swearing and crying almost, I tried to connect it to Odin and i got connected, installed a new TWRP and i got it into recovery where i could install a new rom, and the phone booted again
Heres my question, when i put it into download mode (tried to install stock rom with Odin once more) then I cannot boot it again, I have to install TWRP and a new rom before I can get it up and running again, is there any possibility to get a stock rom installed ever again?

Pepsi P1S corrupted eMMC?

Hello
Yesterday i have recieved the Pepsi (Koobee) P1S. it was full of bloatware so i decided to flash a modded rom. After i realized that this custom rom is only in english and chinese (Im German) i wanted to switch back to the original. But then i made the biggest mistake: I have flashed the false rom (CM for Mt6592 CPU but false Smartphone). After that i have flashed the right original rom again. but a strange Error appears: the Phone boot up normaly and then freeze and reboot by itself..over and over again. But not at the same step. Sometimes it freeze during the Bootanimation..sometimes it boot up completly and i can swipe through the Screens (for about 10 sec). When i push the standby button (Display went off) the Phone stays in this mode and dont freeze.
the i flashed TWRP and try to wipe the phone. Even in TWRP it freeze, but not during the wipes or in the Boot Mode slelect screen.
I Have a friend with the same phone. Is it possible to copy a complete backup (eMMC etc) to my phone? Or someone had a Idea what i can try next? I have flashed different roms (for this phone) so many times, but the error is still there.
Please help me.. It should be a present for my GF birthday today
SOLUTION
I downloaded the flashtool that flashes MTK Devices then searched google for Pepsi p1s needrom and downloaded the original firmware scatter file, turn off the P1S unplug it from USB,...Start the flashtool, and search the firmware will be second search bar select search and browse your computer for the firmware you downloaded from needrom, then you will see it load all the files.....there is a button bar that has an arrow open the arrow and select firmware update, then hit the green go button after you hit the green go button plug in your powered off PEPSI P1S ....it will give you a red bar on the flashtool at bottom first, then it will format your device properly, then install all the necissary files, its real quick about 3 minutes, after a box will pop up on the screen and say OK with a big check mark, at this point you can unplug your phone, power it up and wait about 3 minutes, everything will be normal again. So sorry I would post the links however I forgot my password and username that I was using for many years and forgot my recovery email as well.....so if you google it you can find the stuff, just hope I helped with the proper method of flashing......good luck, let me know how it goes.
Thanks but i know how to flash the firmware with SP Flash Tool. i have flashed the P1S with 3 different roms..but always the same error (freeze and reboot at different points)
Are you using download mode? Or firmware update? The reason I ask is download mode always gave me a bootloop, but when switched to firmware update mode it formats the device correctly and fixes the file structure, try firmware update mode.
Im using "Format All + Download"
Try using firmware update mode, let me know what happens.
same problem...freeze (at different points) ans reboot.
here you can see what happen:

wipe data/factory reset.

I have noted one thing.
when I update supersu to play store and reboot it goes in bootloop.
so I recommend not to upgrade or even to make unroot just after removing apps with viruses
