I get an error that says SW Check Fail: Fused 2 > Binary 1 or something to that effect. Any extra steps I need to take?

I am also having this same issue on my SGH-I527.
Kies is not working at all.
I think if we can get the STOCK AT&T KitKat Firmware we might be able to save it.

Flash Siyah kernel from www.gokhanmoral.com.. the latest version is 3.5.2...... download the tar file on your pc, search for Odin (PC software), and download it.
Make sure your device has USB debugging enabled.
Reboot into download mode. To do it, turn off your phone, then hold power button + home button + volume down simultaneously. Connect your phone to your PC via cable.
On your PC, make sure kies isn't running (check from task manager and kill all services related to it), open Odin, there should be a yellow highlight which will indicate your phone has been detected. Only f.reset and auto reboot should be ticked, NOTHING ELSE. Click the PDA button and navigate to your siyah kernel .tar file.
Flash and have fun
Edit: you can find Odin attached at the end of the first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14283342
Just download it on your PC. No need to read that thread.
Hope all goes well.

download odin and start it place the pda modem csc files according to your firmware if it is a single file place it in pda
switch off your phone then press vol down+hom+power button you will get a screen press vol up for downloading connect it to pc
odin will show the com port connected no start it will finish in 3 min

It's usually the drivers. Please reinstall them again and try to see if your device can recognize it. Also make sure the usb cable is a working one. Do post the results. Hope I Helped
download latest samsung usb drivers, just search for it in google, in case you are using the latest version of Odin, i attached Odin3 v1.84 i've been using with my Ace-i since the latest version of Odin doesn't recognize my phone [silly really]
Just download a Stock ROM if you're device is bricked and do as follows
1. Run as Admin
2. locate .pit file [included in .zip file]
3. set proper files
MODEM = PHONE
CSC = CSC
PDA = PDA
4. Boot Ace-i to Odin / Download Mode [Vol Up + Vol Down + Power]
5. Press Volume Up
6. Flash
7. Wait patiently [it took seconds for me to flash Stock ROM]
8. Reboot Device
now you're good
Hit Thanks if i helped ​

Why to install many times kies, doesn't required
As i see that your device is not recognised by the drivers ,
So now download PDA net drivers (search it on google )
After downloading and installing
Just connect your device to your PC and wait for a min to detect ( you ll get to see in Task Bar right corner icon)
Then Open Odin and try the rest.

Before getting brick , your usb socket was working fine ?

[Q] Samsung S3 mini i8200L - Hard Bricked

Hi All,
Need some help. My Samsung S3 mini i2800L was flashed with the wrong firmware in an attempt to upgrade to Jellybean 4.2.2 using odin and it failed . It remained in download mode and I did a battery pull ,now the phone is absolutely dead. Black Screen for all the following:Recovery Mode and Download Mode .The phone wont power on at all. The only sign of life , is when I plugged into my girl friend's Toshiba laptop via usb cable and it searched and installed the drivers.In addition Windows makes a sound when the device is plugged in and unplugged, but is not being recognized by Kies or Odin. I also tried a USB JIG with no success.
Is there any debrick file that I can use for to place on my SD card and attempt to boot from SD, or is JTAG the only option left?
yes!!! you can UNBrick it!!!
OK ... good news for you is it can still be read by the comp when connected (prompts by audio signal) ... it wont take more than 2 min to unbrick your phone... tell me have if you have a stock ROM available for your device?

file as an administrator (Right click on the .exe file and click on Run as

6. In Odin3 screen, you should see a COM Port number like “0:[COM7]” at
ID:COM section and “Added!” text at the message box. This means your
device has been detected by Odin3.
7. Make sure that, only the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options are
checked.
8. Now, extract the downloaded firmware .zip file, you’ll find a firmware file

Hi All,
Need some help. My Samsung S3 mini i2800L was flashed with the wrong firmware in an attempt to upgrade to Jellybean 4.2.2 using odin and it failed . It remained in download mode and I did a battery pull ,now the phone is absolutely dead. Black Screen for all the following:Recovery Mode and Download Mode .The phone wont power on at all. The only sign of life , is when I plugged into my girl friend's Toshiba laptop via usb cable and it searched and installed the drivers.In addition Windows makes a sound when the device is plugged in and unplugged, but is not being recognized by Kies or Odin. I also tried a USB JIG with no success.
Is there any debrick file that I can use for to place on my SD card and attempt to boot from SD, or is JTAG the only option left?

OK if you have stock ROM in md5 then follow these steps
1) copy the md5 file on desktop
2. Download Odin 3.07
3. Switch off your phone and boot Galaxy S3 Mini I8200L into Download
Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down+Home+Power buttons
(long press until the boot screen appear), now press Volume Up key to
proceed to Download Mode .IN CASE IT doesn't WORK TRY EVERY COMBINATION SO AS TO ACHIEVE 6TH STEP... IF NOTHING WORKS THEN JUST CONNECT THE PHONE WITHOUT PRESSING ANY COMBINATIONS...
4. Extract the downloaded Odin3.07 zip file and run the Odin3 v3.07.exe
file as an administrator (Right click on the .exe file and click on Run as
administrator)
5. Now connect your Galaxy S3 Mini I8200L to your computer via USB
cable
6. In Odin3 screen, you should see a COM Port number like “0:[COM7]” at
ID:COM section and “Added!” text at the message box. This means your
device has been detected by Odin3.
7. Make sure that, only the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options are
checked.
8. Now, extract the downloaded firmware .zip file, you’ll find a firmware file
with extension .tar.md5
9. In Odin screen, click on PDA button and select the firmware file with
.tar.md5 extension (The firmware file look something like:
I8200LXXDLJ5_I8200LODDDLI7_INU.tar.md5)
10. Now, click on the Start button to begin the installation process, wait few
moments.
11. Once completed, you would see “PASS!” message in ID:COM port having
green background
12. Your phone should automatically reboot after completion
13. You can now disconnect your phone from computer
14. Finish.

Maybe try other versions of Odin and firmware? Ensure your drivers on PC work. That's all I've got.

In your case i would try changing the COM port number assignment (to something low such as 1, 2 or 3.
Basically you open Device manager (while phone is plugged in, in download mode) and find the COM port (under COM/LPT) double click to open properties and go to advanced tab (if i remember the naming right) and then change the port assignment number to a low number as i stated above.
Then reboot PC and try to run odin again.
Good luck

Have you unchecked re-partition on the odin Options tab? Be sure to check or un-check the required options based on what your are flashing.

So the first thing i notice....if you look under "FAIL" (red box) it shows your com port as 16.....this com number should be changed to a single digit number 1-9 (preferably 1,2,3,4 or 5).
Google "change COM port assignment" for details with pics.

Oh yeah and duh!! I forgot another thing to try ...
Remove the (.md5) from the name of the odin files so they end with (.tar).
Hopefully one of the two "tricks" will work for you
