SAMSUNG S3 MINI (I8190L) Wifi Doesnt Work and Hotspot - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i think i ****ed up pretty BAD i flashed first a lineage OS android 6.0 and because of problems with stability i change it for omni rom android 5.1 and worked well, but the wifi doesnt work and hotspot(which i use alot cause i have a tablet and no wifi), so at the time i was thinking that was because a param file i flashed (eliminated the L in i8190L in power on), so i downloaded another a flashed that, somehow TWRP recovery (ver 2.8.0.0) doesnt start, and the download mode doesnt work, the phone works fine and does everything my data works fine and searches fine, only the usb hotspot works (which im using right now btw), so i dont know how to either recover the download mode to flash again the recovery or another option that doesnt require flashing my phone risking to brick the **** out of it. PLS HELP

I am having this same problem. can anyone help please ?
Download Odin One Click Downloader, connect your phone to your comp while in download mode, press start on Odin and wait. this will take you back to the OS you bought it from. for example, if you got Ur phone in android eclair or ics or GB or whatever, itll go back to that way. use samsung kies mini to upgrade your phone back

Stuck at the DOWNLOAD mode while the USB Connection Not Working

Hi. I have an i9100 Samsung Galaxy S II. After purchasing, I flashed and installed a custom ROM on it (CYANOGEN) and everything was working perfectly.
Suddenly, USB stopped working as a media (it is working just for charging). It was strange because whenever I connect this specific phone to a NEW computer, it sees it for a few seconds then back to unrecognizing it. I though this could be a SW issue, I installed a new custom ROM (cant remember its name) but the same problem persisted.
Recently, I decided to revert to the official Samsung ROM (obtained from sammobile). I first tried this on another i9100 device (which did not have any problem), and everything went smooth.
When I tried to do the same to my faulty device, ODIN recognized it (surprisingly), and when I started the process, it wiped my device, and afterwards it stopped recognizing the USB port (again!!!).
Now I'm stock at the Download Mode, but no computer can see the phone to install the ROM (installing any ROM at this stage would be great )
Could anyone please advise if there is anything I could do to get out of this trouble?
Thanks

[Q] [Fixed] MTK6589 - Flashtool readback killed BT/Wifi/GPS

Hello,
I've bought a new device - Evolveo StronPhone Q4, MTK6589 based phone. The stock ROM is basically vanilla Android 4.2.1. I've successfully rooted it using Framaroot.
Then I've created scatter file using MTK Droid Tools (all partitions that were formated were ext4).
Then I've decided to create a backup before I start playing with it, so I've tried backing up flash using SP Flash Tool (using Readback), it was running fine and downloaded approx. 20%, then crashed. I've tried that once or twice more times, always failed. Now after I plug it in, windows display "This device can perform faster" and FlashTool won't detect the device. If I connect it without battery with VolDn key pressed, FlashTool detects it and I get S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL.
However, the phone boots fine, just GPS/Wifi/BT is not working. (No GPS icon appers, and I get errors like BT_open: WMT turn on BT fail in dmesg). Looks like an issue with kernel/HW issue.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong and how to fix it?
In the meantime, I've asked manufacturer for a stock FW image, but I'm not sure it helps...
Update: Okay, I have no clue what just happened. However I've unrooted, reverted everything I've modified on the phone so far so I'll be able to return it to manufacturer as "deffective"... And just for the curiosity connected it to the computer and tried downloading ROM one more time. And it succeeded - I'll upload the ROM once I get access to faster internet connection. I've removed the battery (phone was stuck in Preloader mode because I cancelled ongoing RAM test.), put it back and now everything works.
So, it looks like everything is fine now, however I'd love to know what happened, if you have any clue, please let me know!

Hi all,
I have Samsung S3 GT-I9300 , Android Version 4.3, Since i updated my phone to 4.3 from 4.1.2 I stuck in a difficult position ... I barely use my phone as i can't do anything as Keyboard faliiure error keep popin up, can't even connect to WIFI coz keyboard doesn't work,
2ndly data cable don't work some time it does but most of the time it don't ,,, and when it get connected the only thing it does is charging ... but dont connect as a media device ... I had couple of things in my mind to root or flash the phone to fix the OS issues that I'm facing but ... the cable doesn't work at all ...
XDA is my last hope or I will put this ****ty phone in bin.
Factory reset first, if still the same then wipe and flash latest stock firmware with odin.
Maybe change your post to remove the red font.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi not working after flashing cm 12.1 NIGHTLY-20160110

Hey guys, so I was using the above said nightly and it worked well, but due to certain force closing of applications I decided to reflash the same rom on the tarp 2.8.7.0 recovery by ashwin007 ,but the strange thing that happened was ,after I clean flashed the Rom and the GAPPS (Pico gapps from open gapps) the device soft rebooted on the language selection welcome screen and after the setup progressed I was unable to select to turn the Wi-Fi on ,though my mobile data option worked ,I finished the setup and thought of manually turning the Wi-Fi on but it would not turn on neither from the quick access panel and neither from the settings menu ,I checked Bluetooth too and it was the same case with it ,and soon after I enabled Bluetooth ,the device is hard rebooting on loop...this is a new issue for me ,I don't have any idea what has gone wrong , I have tried installing the Rom without the gapps to make sure that if the gapps are faulty, but the problem is still there even without the gapps...please help,if really be grateful thanks .
