Changing dpi does not do anything that will "destroy" your nexus
Look up on how to flash a factory image, it's simple and will fix your issue

You don't need to access recovery to restore the factory images. You just need to get into the bootloader. Power device off holding power and vol -. Then power on holding power, vol + and vol - at the same time. This will put you in the bootloader mode where you can flash the factory images.
Factory images can be found here:

Oh and don't use odin. Don't get anywhere near this device with odin.

okay, i can access my bootloader, but wehen i try to flash anything the is just the message <witing for device> .. through this i do not come any furhter

not booting

Hi, my nexus 7 is dead. i cant boot it, and i cant enter recovery, cuz when i enter fastboot boot mode, the volume rockers dont work and i cant do anything. my computer doesnt recognise it either. This happened when i flashed the binary drivers of the latest ota, and the tab was working fine for about a day or so, but i decided to change kernel, and boom here we are. Those are the only two changes ive made. i have a nandroid backup but thats not worth much if i cant enter recovery. Please help me? what are my options?

Did you have a nadroid backup ? Try to go into clockwork recovery by holding volume + volume - and power .
Hope you get it going man .

I'd focus on getting your computer to recognize it in fastboot mode so you can reflash the stock images. Also this is NOT the place you put this.. This belongs in the Questions and Answers.

I'd say you'll get more help in the Q&A section.

Try to do this:
A) push power and both volume key ( + and - ) at the same time, if you get the boot loader screen, you are alive.

[Recovery]CWM for Samsung Galaxy SIII mini - official

Few days ago an official CWM recovery was made from the ClokworkMod team for our device. Here you can find the link for the site to download or you can download the ROM Manager app from the play store. It's version 6.0.2.7 and it is the latest version.
It's official so don't ask if it work, cos it works.

This has nothing to do with me, it's not my work, i'm just sharing the info!

Find a backup of original recovery.img for i8190 and put it on your external sd.
Use Terminal emulator with "dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=dev/block/mmcblk0p21" command, and it will be written to your recovery partition.

What different between CWM recovery and original recovery?
Is both support three key combo reboot? Volume up + home + power when phone starting..... or how?
Which is better for usage?

Cwm recovery allows you to flash .zip files not signed by samsung. And it also has some othet function wich the stock recovery doesnt have.

i'm install cwm and uninstall tool : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093727 but increasing custom binary count : 1 how to reset ????

You can't reset it not yet.
Why did you even flash it with Odin? You should've asked me to make a flashable zip with stock recovery, like the ones you saw in other CWM topics.
But most importantly, why did you reflash stock recovery in the first place?

I`m not able to access CWM recovery mode by holding down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds . The phone show me a black screen and reboot again , if try again to enter recovery mode I face same reboot , if no key are pressed is just booting normally . Strange is that TWRP recovery is working perfectly with the combination of vol up + menu + power

Thanks for the reply, and I'm able to get into fastboot mode and whenever I boot into recovery, I just get the dead android sign. And its fine if I lose all my memory because I've backed everything onto my computer.
