Sorry this should have been posted on here a while ago.

The device module has just been updated and i'm trying to update all the threads.

Toolkit Update

+Updated Toolkit base to v1.3.4

+Added support for the latest available builds on all device modules

+Updated SuperSU [Chainfire] root app to latest version v2.45

+Added SuperSU Beta [Chainfire] root app to flash if required latest version v2.42

+Updated Busybox installer by Stephen Erickson to v25

+Updated Root Checker by Burrows Applications to v3.68

+Added Install EFS/Partition Backup/Restore app by Wanam v1.33

+Added an any build option to the build menu [pro users only] to root any build

+Updated root procedures for better operation

+Toolkit will now notify you a new public version is available and download the installer for you

+Fixed unroot zip file to properly unroot your device

+Updated a lot of the code

Supported models/builds list: http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1203

Download from: http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1069

If you have already downloaded the new Toolkit and have the v3 module for the S3 Mini then delete the ConfigGalaxyS3Mini.exe from the tools folder and the Unroot-UninstallBusybox-CwmManager.zip from the root folder. Download the new unroot zip file from http://skipsoft.net/download/fileupdates/Unroot-UninstallBusybox-CwmManager.zip and move it to the root folder, start the Toolkit and select the Galaxy S3 Mini from the list. The Toolkit will then download new module files.

hi

i have i8200XXUANI3 android 4.2.2 so it's normal i8200 not "N"

i downloaded Unified Android Toolkit v1.4.3 (never used before) and made root steps

during advice from toolkit i put recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.7-golden.tar for ODIN in PDA section, then flash went OK phone reboot to normal work

then toolkit made some "things" and display info rebooting to recovery but phone didn't reboot to recovery it stuck to samsung logo and it's same now.

It's not recovery problem because phone reboot after i flashed recovery but don't work after "things" ware made by toolkit.

QUESTION: what was made, and how to recover this i8200 ?

Phone don't enter to recovery (vol up+home+power) or to download (vol down+home+recovery or i have also microusb with resistor which also enter samsung to download mode).

I think author should give me support for bootloader recovery.

EDIT:

after i post this serious reason of bootloader damage in my i8200, author in hurry made new 1.4.4 version of his "masterpiece", but still no help.

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Giancki:
Is there a way to use the toolkit to backup my s3 mini that is not booting in recoverey but just in donwload mode? I've already tried to use odin to flash a CWM, twrp and PhilZ-touch-recovery, but the phone keeps rebooting or stuck in "samsung s3 mini..."....
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Brick098:
the link is dead, can you perhaps attatch it
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Thank you, no I couldnt find any stock recovery images and there arent any included in the stock firmware. Do you know if the same recovery can be used for all 3 variants? I assume so but just wanted to check.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
If anyone has (or will) used the Toolkit can you please post some feedback of your experience in this thread so I can tell how its working. Make sure to include your model number so any problems can be narrowed down.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
Little question. i just got S 3 mini from O2 Czech.

And it is XXALJL. Do you think it will work as ALJ1 ?

I will be at home in about 3 hours, so I will test it. Hope I wont brick my phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Its the first part you need to make sure of before you make a selection, it should be GT-I8190 but look in the settings, about screen to make sure. You will probably be on a 4.1.1 rom with that build so if the model is I8190 then you will want to type 11 at the model selection screen to download the correct boot images.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
Yes I have i8190.

itsprobably working as '11' , but last question. How can I backup efs? I did not find this anywhere in menu.

And it is in your decription of toolkit on first page.

Also I found a problem now. I flashed insecureboot all2 and now i cant do anything. I cant root,flash recovery,anything.

Odin just writes <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

I got ticked Autoreboot and F.Reset time and in PDA i got recovery-twrp

edit: I cant even flash stock boot back. Same problem, att threads completed

edit2: using different odin i managed to flash recobery and than root by recovery sideload
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] jutley:
I am glad it all worked out and glad I asked Mskip for a toolkit for s3 mini just want to say a big thanks for making it happen.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Which Odin did you use to flash recovery (link please)? Was the Odin in the Toolkit causing a problem?

The easiest way of backing up efs is via twrp recovery it has an option if you choose backup to include /efs. I dont know if the Toolkit efs routine is compatable with the S3 mini, if it is then I can include it.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
Odin in toolkit was causing a problem. I tried to download Odin from root topic and that worked ok.

efs- ok,no problem, but please delete it from first post, may be confusing for somebody like me. I searched for 30 minutes for that option:D
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Desparoux:
good work man wish i rich and can donate u we need to support developer like you thanks alot really wish to donate u
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
I have deleted the efs backup text from the 1st post until I know whether the toolkit can backup the efs partition or not. If someone wants to try it out I can send a modified file that will enable the efs backup routine. The main thing to look for is the size of the nv_data.bin file in the folder. Since the S3 Mini is a gsm only device it may be ok.

If I get any other reports of Odin not flashing I will change it for the older version you linked to but none of my testers had any problems so im hoping your problem was just a one off.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
You can send it to me. In abount 2-3 hours I will be ready to test it.

Are you or anyone else able to flash the repacked file via odin?

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Benzonat0r:
I think so yes, it should be universal for all 3 models, cause there's actually no hardware differences between them.

EFS Pro 1.9.1 can backup your /efs partition. You should implement it in your toolkit.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
Repacked? Sorry i dont understand correctly.

I downloaded toolkit 2 times on 2 different PCs.. Every time i tried apply 3-key mod it wrotes md5 hash corrupted.

So I downloaded 3-keys combo from link i posted with md5 file, and it flashed by Odin correctly.

Maybe you only need to replace 3-key combo mod in tookit.

what is insecure boot image?

how to get root using insecure boot image?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Did the process start on the device (gave a pop up on the device that you had to confirm)?

Did you have a stock or insecure boot image flashed at that time?

If it did start what exactly happened on the pc and on the device? Please give as much details as possible.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
An insecure boot image is just a stock boot image that has a patched adbd binary to enable adb root commands to be sent to the phone. That may sound too technical but it basically means that the toolkit can send commands to the phone to send root files, push/pull system files and make nand backups among other things.

The toolkit guides you through everything you need to do.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Thats very strange as the file in the Toolkit is EXACTLY the same file as the one you downloaded from the other thread, I just renamed it for the Toolkit.

Could you please flash the attached file to see if that works ok or if it says invalid. Its just the same files but packed up using the toolkit.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tys0n:
I just had a look at it and they're all the same.

Benz original file, mine that i made for mirror, the one from the toolkit & the one attached to your post.

They all end up with "8BD25F438EA517979D1ADDB500A2E3E1".
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Exactly. All I did with the one in your thread was rename it for the Toolkit so people knew what it was so I knew the hash md5 check was the same as I checked it before including the file. The part I dont understand is why it has failed for more than 1 person and yet when they downloaded the file from your thread it flashed fine.

Are you able to flash the tar I just posted so I can verify its working and add it.

Also is anyone who has root/busybox/insecure boot image able to test the efs backup procedure in the Toolkit if I enable it?

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tys0n:
Just flashed it and it pass without problems. :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
I tried to download toolkit again 10 minutes ago. I got only md5 file in mods folder.

Maybe thats why it cannot not flash it.

Also if you want to test efs, send link for test toolkit.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tys0n:
See if this one works. Its the same file that mskip attached a few posts up.

I just added md5hash to it and it passed for me.

**.tar.md5 is more safe.

Just unzip it first.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
One page back I just posted it and thanked you:D

It really work.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
I am probably missing more files.

Just updated phone to AM2 type, and tried to root it. But option 3 - ALL. It wrotes to choose boot insecure amb2-recovery but this file is missing
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
How many files do you have in the root\GT-I8190 folder? There should be 4 files which are stock/insecure files for all2 and amb2. If you dont have 4 files in that folder then delete the GT-I8190 folder and run the toolkit again, select your build and it will redownload the zip file.

Re: [GALAXY S3 MINI TOOLKIT V1.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, TWRP, Flash, + MORE

Is it increase counter binary download?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Flashing any modified image will increase the flash counter, this includes custom recovery so if you want root but don't want to increase the flash counter you will have to find a stock rom with root injected properly as to not be seen as a modified image. I don't know if there are any available but if there are they will be in the Development Forum.

+Repacked and added 3button mod to fix some people getting error [available in V1.1]

+Fixed a few small bugs in main code [available in V1.1]

+Added efs backup/restore procedure to backup/restore section

The Auto Update can update V1.0 or V1.1 to the latest version

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the Professional Version. Auto Updates are a much faster and easier way of pushing small updates that would otherwise not be worth doing. I can push a single textual change or add support for a new build without having to go through the whole process of building a full version and uploading a large file. IF you are not able to or do not want to donate to unlock the Auto Update feature (and other professional features) then all the smaller updates are collated and a full build made when I have time or if there are enough updates to warrant it. This is the easiest way to make sure all the Toolkits are as up to date as possible. IF you have any views about this please pm me about them and do not post in the open thread]

Thank you very much, will download and try on my device.

I have one question:

In model selection, you wrote i.e.: "12. Android 4.1.2 [Build AMA1-AMB3]"

Can you clarify which model number is applicable for my phone which has:

baseband version: I8190XXAMB2

android version: 4.1.2

kernel version: 3.0.31-942750

build number: JZO54K.I8190XXAMB2

AMB2 is not among the codes you specified, so please help.

I'm in Croatia, probably some pan-european or international model...

(If I do not brick my phone using it, will donate :))

Edit:

In your screenshot (look under) there is AMB2 model mentioned, but no option in menu.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Could you perform the operation again and take a screenshot so I can see what the Toolkit says.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
If you look at the top of the Model Selection screen above the options it says:

If there is a range of builds supported then that number [e.g. 12] will also support any build between those builds that are listed.

This means that your build AMB2 is in the range of builds covered from option 12 [AMA1-AMB3] so you can choose that option for your build.

AMB2 appears in the main menu as that is the build of the boot image used by the Toolkit.

I tried to make backup to my pc and got stuck here saying

'restarting adb as root'

anyone knows hoe to fix that or something?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] OsoAlgo:
Guess I should've done that the first time hehe. Here you go. Reading it again, I think it has nothing to do with folders, but I don't know. The same error appears when trying to pull /system, the only thing that changes is the path.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Try rebooting the device and see if that makes any difference. Do you have root? Do you have an insecure boot image flashed?

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mskip:
Judging from the screenshot I dont think you have busybox installed which is needed to tar the folders. Can you verify this? If you already installed busybox then try going through the process again as it may not have gone through the first time.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] OsoAlgo:
Yeah that was it. I thought I had busybox already installed, I even had the installer app and everything, don't know what happened. Anyway, thank you very much.

Sorry, but what is Unsecure Boot Image?

And why is recomended the TWRP recovery instead of CWM?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] dariolob:
1 - http://lmgtfy.com/?q=unsecure+boot.img

2 - From my personal experience, TWRP is more stable on our device,though it still has some incompatibilities with some zips...

Just an example: I couldn't use adb sideload on CWM while it worked fine on TWRP :)

I arrived to the section shown in the screenshot attached, may be me but I don't understand how to reply to the question.

as the question is about one ROM

or

another, I'm not able to say yes or no

What should be the correct answer ? or is the question or the response option need to be changed?

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
Easy one. Do you have flashed custom recovery like CWN or TWRP? If yes, write yes, if no write no.

It is not really about recovery, but Insecure boot is flashed mostly with root or custom recovery. I used Toolbox for these operations and for the first flash - root, it wanted to flash insecure boot.

I did it and now to this question i always reply yes
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mistervinavil:
Hi all, I would like only root permission for my s3 mini: this tool flash a ROM with root permission?

If I only root, I will lost my setting and apps?

Thank you

Best regards
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tickmaster:
This will not flash any rom and you will not loose any data.

Turn on ADB debug in phone settings, start toolkit, choose correct version of your rom, it will download some data for flashing.

First install drivers by coosing 1, then choose 2 and you have multiple options there.

If you want only root and not custom recovery, choose option 1 adn follow what will toolkit write.

Whole procedure will take about 5 minutes, only watch carefully what toolkit writes.

Hi there mskip.

I've already used the toolkit to root and install TWRP on my device. This is actually my first Samsung. :)

But I have encountered a problem. The USB drivers in the toolkit caused my device to be not recognized in my PC.

It says "Samsung USB Hardware ID Is Missing error". (But it was registered at the toolkit).

After rooting, I reverted back to 1.3 USB Drivers I found in the internet so that I can connect my device again.

What could be the problem?

Thank you very much for your toolkit :)

(I never used KIES in my entire life before, so, there are no Samsung USB Drivers in my PC before)
