use odin and flash cwm i you have any doubts on twrp and flash stock recovery
with this i think we found a solution to hard brick -giving it to service centre and get it back without paying money

But the most important thing is this: attach a LOGCAT of the problem.

Q: Ok nice, but I’m noob & I don’t know how to LOGCAT, where I can learn?
A: Here, here or stop being lazy & search in XDA forums.

Just wiping data may solve this problem.
Flash with odin the file WIPE_I8190.zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2030282, it will force data wipe at reboot.

i don't think i can use it because mi phone is the N version

It's a thread about prerooted firmware which of course are incompatible with your phone, but the wipe file will be fine, it will just flash your cache partition.

How is he supposed to connect to ADB if his phone won't even boot into Android?

No, you tick Re-Partition and you put the pit file in the Re-Partition column.

But seeing as the system shuts off after it shows the 'Samsung Galaxy S3 mini' logo, how is he supposed to catch hold of a log before it shuts off?
