[teeron]

Hello people

I have a problem with my samsung s3 mini GT-I8200N. I was trying to root s3mini and something didnt went as it suposed to, after restart my phone stuck on screen with message:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".
Phone keeps restarting every 5 seconds so it cannot be detected by Kies on my PC.

Welcome to the forums. You will have to reflash the stock ROM. You need to download your copy of the ROM, and use a PC program called Odin to reflash it.

Here is a guide to Odin: https://forums.androidcentral.com/a...rom-via-odin-new-interface-3.html#post5897423

Once you have everything ready, reboot your phone into Download mode and click Start on Odin.

You didn't read my post carefully Golfdriver97. The phone is in a state of constant loop, so PC can't detect it and the same with Odin. So no matter what I do there is always same mesage on the screen but there are little differences:
1.if there is no battery and I put the phone on the charger the message stays
2.if the battery is installed and I put the phone on the charger the phone will reboot after 5-6 seconds
3.if i connect the phone to the pc through usb phone will restart after 2 seconds

I actually did read your post carefully. Download mode is a separate partition of the device, and may not be affected by the bootloop.

Thank you for reply Golfdriver97. Unfortunatelly I can't go to download mode. The battery is flat already, and I don't know how to charge it. When the phone is on the charger its constantly rebooting making that vibration sound.

Ok I think i made the whole thing look confusing and now nobody will care to involve. But everything is in the title.

Never tried this way, but can you plug it in without the battery like you said and get into download mode?

 

[teeron]

Also imposible. However when I try to do this (w/o battery), when I'm holding power+voldown+home, after about 10 sec 1 black line across the screen appear (like the screen would be faulty) for a moment and then phone restart itself. Funny enough if a change keys to power+volup+home 2 lines will appear. Wow isnt??

 

[Golfdriver97]

Aside from taking it to a repair shop, I am not sure what to suggest.

 

[teeron]

But what do you reckon is the problem?

But what do you reckon is the problem?

You might have a corrupted recovery partition
Maybe go to XDA developers forum , and look into it for your phone.

Thanks Reg Joo I will do that.

Thank you Golfdriver97 for your help.

All the best
