Samsung S3 mini (GT-I8190N) Stuck in Bootloop

Hi guys i start with say that this forum si fantastic.

At the beginning of jan my S3 mini GT-I8190N , with CM 11 Maclaw, does not turned off it was completely death.
So i send my phone to service center and obviously they told me that it was rooted and i had to pay to fix it. I didn't pay and yesterday the send it to me not fixed.
So i try to turn it on and magicallyi turned on, but a screen on the display said that the encryption was unsuccessful so i decide to flash with odin stock recovery and stock firmware.
But i had a problem while i was flashing stock recovery from TWRP it doesn't complete the operation. So i try anyway to flash stock firmware, but now i can't access to recovery the phone is stuck in bootloop. I can access only to download mode, please guys help me !

Download correct country firmware from here

Update it through odin.

if yur mobi is in bootloop after success full update it seems yur efs file must be corrupted.

To fix yur bootloop yu need to reset yur efs 1st(use octoplus box)

After reset efs rebuild yur imei .
