Well i hard bricked my phone I think? I tryed to use the s5 styled rom stock Virginty V14 and I updated to the latest version of the baseband anr6 or something because that was in the rom setup while in twrp 2.7.1.0, I was on a pacman 4.4.4 custom rom before that, and I think it changed my normal bootlogo screen to i890t? instead of i890. I cannot boot into recovery anymore, ive tryed flashing over cyanogenmod 11 from novafusion, but nothing, ive tryed to flash recoverys, and nothing just a bootloop, this is the first time i've ever had this problem and I was just wondering how I fix it and if it can be fixed, I can still get into odin mode if theres a file or anything for download to fix this? I'm not sure why it did this, just need my phone back asap, any help would be appreciated :)

look here.
Put battery out and in.
Download laFleur ROM, boot into download-mode and flash it.
After that, flash custom recovery like TWRP from Android-Andi.
After that flash any custom ROM you like.

So instead of getting the Gt-I8190 and samsung boot image and animation you have some buzz image like a tv, do this go to novafusion .pl I can't post links yet <.< s3 Mini--> Extras --> Original Boot logo download the correct one for your device, you have to install this via TWRP it should fix it

You may have to flash it a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time :)

Install the original firmware. If that doesn't work, using Odin install clockworkmod recovery and then install cm11.... Once you install cwm recovery remember to format the media and data!!
