Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini- Help Installing

When physical ROM is broken, the phone is not abble to load the bootloader, so it can’t boot to system mode nor recovery mode.
Only download mode is available !
If it is the case, a solution is to replace motherboard by one coming from a functional phone (same model) with a broken screen.
And build for it since it is not supported, [ROM][7.1.2] LineageOS 14.1 for GT-I8190/GT-I9070 [2017-06-09] | XDA Forums

Easier is to buy a cheap s4mini (e-0.18-r available) or s5mini (e-0.9-p available) or a motorola or the new little 4" Unihertz Atom XL - atom-xl
