S3 mini hard-bricked?

SebastiaanSpeck · Apr 19, 2014

Hello,

I wanted to root my S3 mini (GT-i8190, that worked but then I wanted to enter Bootloader. I downloaded EZ-Unlock 11.apk and installed it on my S3 mini. I launched the app and selected unlock and after I wanted to reboot it, it didn't work anymore... I can't enter Recovery Mode... I live in the Netherlands so I actually don't want to buy something from Amazon or so. I saw a little movie with a paperclip and graphite but that vid has been removed... HELP ME PLEASE!!!

It's to late now... I couldn't get in Bootloader... How can I access my phone when it's hard-bricked? Maybe I can remove everything and put back the original software

what you should do is go through the sticky threads in the general section and this section before you start messing around with that phone again

So, if you press the power button, the phone don't turn on?

SebastiaanSpeck · Apr 19, 2014

That's right. I also tried the 3-buttons but nothing works, not a single vibration. Even my pc won't recognize it

What happen if you charge the phone?

SebastiaanSpeck · Apr 19, 2014

Nothing, the screen remains black. I tried the usb-cable on pc, a usb charger and the cable... but nothing works

OK your phone is really hard bricked. Only send it back to Samsung can help you.

Also a usb JIG won't work?
