Thank you @b.diddy, yes I already tried and nothing changed :-(

Do you have an SD card inserted? If so, try removing it and rebooting--sometimes a corrupt card can cause problems like that.

No sdcard inserted.

My S4mini (GT-I9190) is very touchy about exactly how buttons are press'd and especially released in order to actually get into recovery mode. (I'm using CWM v6.0.5.1 by arco68.) I have found it necessary to press exactly as follows:

Begin this process with power off (remove battery, wait awhile, replace)
1a. Press & hold Volume Up. While continuing to hold,
1b. Press & hold Home. While continuing to hold (both),
1c. Press & hold Power.
2a. Continue to hold all 3 until device starts up (it vibrates).
2b. Release power button (keep holding other 2 buttons) during vibration*.
3. Release other buttons when blue Recovery Mode appears.
-------------------------------------
* Vibration lasts a second or two, release only the power button during latter part of vibration, or very shortly after vibration ends.
