After you accepted and CWM status went to ''Installing update'' ,was there a confirmation that the install was successful?

I have I8190XXAMB2 rooted on my device. I want to use Kies via Wifi but when I choose it via the settings menu, nothing happens. WiFi is enabled on the Mini and firewall exception plus needed services are set on my laptop and Kies is started.

Anybody similar issue?

To Root or not to Root

Hi,

I need help on rooting my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. I'm just a noob and not very tech. I read the posts in this forum and I somehow understood most of them. However, it would be nice if I count get a straight answer.

First, here is what I have on my phone right now:

Android Version: 4.1.2

Baseband version: I8190DXAMA2

Kernel Version:

3.0.31-722651

dpi@DELL236 #2

SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 10 00:14:32

KST 2013

Build Number

JZ054k

CSC: I81900LBAMA2

My question is can I root my phone using the procedure phone in this forum? I'm sorry if I my question is really "noobish", but I just want to be sure I'm doing it right. :o

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini General] djfxda:
Hi!, yes, a install confirmation appeared and still booting normally, no problems for the moment.

Thehackercilla, i think you can root your phone with no problems.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Tyxerakias:
I wouldn't recommend this thread for your phone. You need to find a rooted Asian rom (DX). The cwm method + triangle away would be a better fit for you
[Galaxy S III Mini General] thehackerkilla:
Thanks for the response.

Would it it be good if follow the instructions found in this thread: [GUIDE] CWM + ROOT in 5 minutes

I tried searching the site for the process of what you have recommended (rooted Asian rom), but I found none. Maybe you can point me to the right forum or direction of where I can find this. If not, its ok. :o

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Jimmys1:
Did it take long?, because i waited for 10' but nothing happened.

NFC and Applications on GT-I8190N

NFC is working propetly on GT-I8190N? Do a few applications have been removed?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Pretty much self explained.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vfakoudis:
Specifically for S3 Mini, the Update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 only included stability improvements. The S3 (the bigger one) got the multitasking capabilities of Note 2 (named Multi-View), smart rotation, an updated status bar, and a few new apps. What a buzzkill, huh? :silly:

-

Does anyone know if I'm still going to be able to get future OTA Updates if I use root? Oh, and one more, am I the only one who cannot use the ripple effect in the lockscreen after the 4.1.2 Update on my S3 mini?

Thanks in advance! :D
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Tyxerakias:
Yes following the thread you mentioned should work for you.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] thehackerkilla:
Thanks. You are a big help. :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] djfxda:
Hi! No... in my case it installed on seconds and continue booting without problems.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ppero196:
Which is newer and better?

XXAMA2 OR XXAMB1?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
XXAMB1 is newer but I don't know if it's any better :p

There is even a I8190XXAMB3 on sammobile but I havn't tried that one either..
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ppero196:
Ok. I meant XXAMB2

Thanks.

Now if i could only find rooted XXAMB3 (only su and xbin)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Why not root it yourself after flash?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] rarog:
I have this ROM, which I made for myself, but it's a DBT one, so the CSC list is the following: BTU, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEO. If you can use it, I could try to upload it.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] k.dimitrovski:
I want to use one of these pre-rooted firmwares but I need the one that's for SEE - I8190XXAMB2 CSC:I8190OXFAMB1.

It can be found on sammobile.

Does any of the firmwares in the first post is suitable for that CSC or will I have to ask for that one specifically?

Root for i8190, JB 4.1.2

Hi Friend,

can I root my S3 mini I8190 with stock JB 4.1.2 using your procedure and your prerooted rom Version? And how big is the risk of bricking the phone?

The baseband on my phone is I8190XXAMA2.

Thanks in advice and cheers
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ppero196:
I need TWO

But thanks anyway
[Galaxy S III Mini General] rarog:
samsung-updates lists only a fairly old firmware for TWO, can you look with CSC changer or similar software, what other CSC codes are present in your firmware?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] djfxda:
Hi!

Just a curiosity... Today checking the firmware on the phone i saw the CSC status: unknown, the last rom i've flashed is this one:

I8190XXAMB2 4.1.2 (OXX multi-csc, PDA: I8190XXAMB2, CSC: I8190OXXAMB1)

The phone works ok without problems, it's very curious... i will do nothing for the moment, if the phone works... just ok for me...

I comment that only to give a feedback to all.

Regards.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TerenceTP7:
are these rooted versions? can i use this on 4.1.2 BASEBAND I8190XXAMA2? and is this for the netherlands?

if yes,wich one i need to download?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Tyxerakias:
Someone else reported that as well, I'm looking into it and will update the first post with the solution soon. But FYI, this happened because you flashed a different rom than what your phone had. Samsung is starting to make that more and more difficult.

The Netherlands does not belong to the OXX group. So if you flash from here you will lose your warranty. If you don't care about that, you can flash whatever you like.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
The solution is to flash without cwm. Need to be stock recovery when you flash stock firmware because cwm can't handle the updatescript in sec_csc.zip which gets extracted on reboot. Thats why you get csc unknown.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ninjalandpirate:
Hi there can somebody please indicate which rom would be best for me. Currently I am running a stock root rom. Not sure what it's called I've been running for a while.

I'd like to return my phone to stock as it says I have custom firmware and updates are not available :(

Just want to be stock root really, ease see attached
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TerenceTP7:
i already rooted my phone so my warranty is gone.if i flash this my phone is rooted?do you know wich one i need to download?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Tyxerakias:
Download the latest one, MB2. But you said you rooted your phone, so I don't understand what you want to do now..
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Tyxerakias:
Unfortunately no, that's not the solution, tried already. These roms here do not have CWM anyway, they are stock.

Kies can flash your stock rom from the Tools menu, just insert your phone's serial number and you're good to go. Make a backup first as it will factory reset it.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TerenceTP7:
i rooted it to a 4.1.1 JB with succes.then i was installing chainfire3d,phone rebooted and got stuck on bootscreen.then i flashed official stock firmware 4.1.2 that i have now,and flashed PARAM that booted my phone.

so now my phone doenst have root acces,i want to root again.

my version now is 4.1.2 BASEBAND I8190XXAMA2. im downloading the root file on 1st page I8190XXAMA2_rooted.zip

is this one good?or the MB2 file?and what if i get stuck on bootscreen again after flashing.can i boot again with PARAM?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
What I meant was that if you flash these, or any other stock rom with odin if you already have root and CWM installed you will get csc unknown.

If you're not rooted yet, or rooted but with STOCK RECOVERY everything is fine. You won't get csc unknown.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] thejester123:
sweet thnx :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Jimmys1:
I have the 4.1.1 LJL.

Do i need to do a factory reset at first, in order to install the AMB2 4.1.2?

[Galaxy S III Mini General] camulodunum:
can I root with this version of firmware?

Hi - just got hold of a gt-i8190n and frustrated with not being able to manipulate the filestore so want to root the phone The versions are ..

gt-i8190n

android 4.1.2

baseband I8190NXXALL3

can I use the pre-rooted rom referred to in this thread? thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Yeah I8190NXXALL6.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ladislav.heller:
Kies

I've XXAMB2/OXXAMB1 (flashed over the original XXALJL/OXXALJ8) and Kies does not recognize the device at all. Tried USB debugging ON/OFF, but did not help.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ppero196:
Install original ROM and then update manually. There is 4.1.2 XXAMB2 update for XXALJL firmwares. Different than the one you have.

And then you can root it again using method found in general section
[Galaxy S III Mini General] L4sT GoD:
If i root it i will wipe my data, because all my apps are in internal memory (s3 sd card issue)?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
These roms will not wipe your data.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] L4sT GoD:
Yes but my CSC is not OXX, even now i dont get wipe?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Tyxerakias:
No it will not wipe. But you might get a corrupted csc, and there is no point in using this method if your csc is not oxx. This is now only for those who care about compatibility with kies for future upgrades. Since Chainfire made Triangle Away work with the mini to reset the counter, you can go the cwm way. Look at seedrom's thread for instructions.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] L4sT GoD:
Thanks for advice!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] opackspogi:
Can i also use this guide?

My baseband version is xxama3 4.1.2

Thank you for your reply.

Noob here.:)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] slowdyve:
After reading this thread i'm not 100% sure about 2 things.

1st: "CSC: I8190OXXALJ8"

On sampro i counted at least ten "CSC: I8190OXXALJ8" (each one based on different countries). Since this rooted "CSC: I8190OXXALJ8" is my phone's CSC, but probably not for my country, will it give me problems in future updates using kies?

2nd: I read many people on this thread saying, "if it's rooted your warrranty is gone". But in the opening post i assumed that it's the exactly the opposite. If i use this rooted firmware (with the same CSC as my phone) will i loose warranty just because it's rooted, even if one day i unroot it?

Thanks

And one final question, what will happened with my warranty if i root the phone?

Did you flash any rom through Odin with a custom recovery installed?

Sent through time and space from my s3mini.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mastasanuh:
Hi tys0n,

Yes...i did. Is that an issue?

Are you saying that when flashing rom via Odin, i can't have custom recovery install in my phone?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I always go back to stock recovery before flash with odin, otherwise you'll get csc:unknown.

Custom recovery can't handle the update script in sec_csc.zip which gets extracted upon reboot.

Use rom manager after odin flash to get cwm on device if you flashed rooted stock.

It won't give you a custom binary count.

No, that attachment is for OXX roms, you have OXF. You can flash it if you like, but you will be changing the csc, and this method loses its point. Try rooting with CWM instead.
