what did you do that you got a bootloop?

i meant what odin sayd when you flashed the firmware, and as i see you dont have the normal s3 mini,
which firmware did you flashed?
you can try a jig dongle to get into download mode,
you can buy one (search ebay or amazon or something else for that)
or you can build one yourself, if you know how to sold (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/how-to-diy-download-mode-jig-dongle-t2121306)
if that wont help your phone is full bricked, only a JTAG (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Test_Action_Group) can save it (they sold a device on your phones motherboard to acces the emmc (the internal memory of your phone)
if youre from germany i can recommend you this guy which once saved my phone: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Samsung-Boot...tur-/221200788763?pt=PDAs&hash=item3380982d1b

Discharge the battery and give it back to the seller to get a replacement or refund!
