Lol i dont have a clue. Could you try downloading this tool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 its for normal galaxy s3. When installed click any firmware version and then select option to make nandroid backup through adb to computer. You need to have root to do it. Thanks again

I don't think recovery partition is mounted in normal boot. Try adb in recovery mode?

ops.. i forgot something.

the recovery built in the kernal, its more complicated then S3.

This is what I get in recovery mode. Hope it helps :P

Edit: Or not, damn it!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] alvin551:
Why do they have to make things so confusing. I dont think im able to do it now :mad:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Benzonat0r:
You were right, it is in the kernel. I've managed to disassemble boot.img and found a recovery in there. This indeed complicates things.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Oh, damn! We need someone like chainfire to get this device goin' custom!

[Galaxy S III Mini General] alvin551:
Can you extract that recovery.img i will then try and add cwm to it. What operating system are yiu using to unpack boot.img?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Benzonat0r:
Windows 7 emulating Linux via Cygwin + dsixda's Android Kitchen

This it an extracted boot.img, the recovery is in here.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] alvin551:
Ahh yeah ive dont that but there is no recovery.img in there
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Benzonat0r:
There's no image in there no, but I think it's integrated in it, just like in Galaxy Ace 2 there's no recovery.img in the stock firmware but the recovery its packed directly in kernel.bin
[Galaxy S III Mini General] alvin551:
Yeah thats what i thought. Looks like im going to have to set up ubuntu to create it. Not many tools made for windows. Hopefully can get it set up in the next week. Dont hold me to it though as ive never done anything like this before. I usually do theming over at the galaxy s3 intetnational forum. Only problem is people are going to have to try it out for me if i can get it together as my girlfriend has the s3mini and doesnt like me doing thing to her phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Benzonat0r:
Hahahaha that's totally understandable man girls are like that don't sweat it. :D We'd appreciate that very much. :)

Thing is that I don't have a spare hard drive to install Ubuntu and my disk space is nearly full, around 8 gigs free of 2TB of space. :)

hey i build a cwm version on koushik-lion for Galaxy S3 mini (alias Golden) ... its cwm recovery 6.0.2.7 Touch recovery.img - 6.10 MB but i don´t know how i can test it..... because its my first samsung device and I don´t want to brick it .... can i try "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" or .... I hope someone knows a way ...

ps: link to recovery-builder: http://jenkins.cyanogenmod.com/job/recovery/14184/
[Galaxy S III Mini General] alvin551:
Im new to it too. But i thoufht u would of hat to.put it back in boot.img ..but give it a try. If it doesnt work im sure you could just flash stock rom in odin. Could you explain how u made it?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] enox.co:
how i build it ? i just put the original recovery.img and uploaded it to http://builder.clockworkmod.com and start building cwm recovery....
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ppero196:
Did you apply any specific changes?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Benzonat0r:
You have nothing to brick, it updates or it doesn't want to update simple as that. Ill try it now.

Edit: Nope Odin just sits there and does nothing.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] alvin551:
How did you get a recovery image?

There is a possibility?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Benzonat0r:
Why would you? It's basically the same as the one you already have.

kk. now listen. we are all getting dat black screen after flashing cwm recovery compiled in builder.clockworkmod.com . i think its because our device is different than others. its goldenxx. some files are completely different. once i get home i will compile cwm from a source in ubuntu. i will be back at home at 1 January and cwm will be ready at the 3 January i think. just believe. i am on snowboard trip so wait. stay calm and if u have ubuntu than u can try compiling it by urself
