Was your data partition encrypted?
Do you tried with adb? It may help to find out what's causing the bootloop

Oh, I tried it and it didn't work, if nothing is working, then it could be possible that it's hard bricked because the memory could be damaged! I sent my phone back to Amazon (I bought it from Amazon) so I got a free replacement with no quibbles. Your contract of sales is with your seller so it is for them to supply you with a replacement phone, not your manufacturer. Try that maybe.

Could be an eMMC brickbug because if you flash everything and nothing changes then the eMMC chip is dead so it's probably a hard brick.

If its hard brick you cannot do nothing. ...not even the screen will turn on....as long as you can enter download mode there still hope. ...try search around for solution ....param file from Tyson might help....

Send it back to whoever supplied you with the handset, and discharge the battery completely. Ask the seller for a replacement as the contract of sales is with the seller not for you to wait 3 weeks for Samsung to fix it.

Hard brick can also mean damaged up eMMC chip.

same problem here

Hello to all, I also have the same problem.. I did all the pretold procedures, and I concluded that I have an damaged eMMC chip. When I begin flashing any file (PDA, MODEM, CSC or even bootloader) it says on the phone (download mode) : card_movi_write_status: (2) blk xxxxxxxx (where x the number of the particular block)

S3 mini on maclaw's CM11 20140212 version
