[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0.

i can make a backup to internal sd-card, but NOT to external sd-card (backup failed - "could not create folder.....")

flashed TWRP 2.6.1.0

everything works fine.

both zip´s are dowloaded from original TWRP hompage.

Any ideas? :(
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Hmm, no idea. Using 2.6.3.0 with external sd without any problems.

Backup your external and reformat maybe. See if it makes any difference.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
hi tys0n,

waited for your answer (saw that you are online) :D

formatting sd-card was my idea too - but tomorrow because it´s too late.

thx

[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I hope it works out. It sucks not being able to backup to ext if you need to make factory reset at some point.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
made backup of ext-sd and format it.

reflash TWRP 2.6.3.0 and tried to make backup to ext. sd - no chance!

error: "unable to create backup folder".

Back to 2.6.1.0 - no problems. Don´t know why...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
That's strange. You got any other sd you can put in there to see if it works?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mauam:

Hi, I have a problem with the twrp. Every time I installed and reboot in recovery I have the message in the line above 'simulating actions'. How can I change this. Thx in advance!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Go to settings and untick "simulate actions for theme testing".
[Galaxy S III Mini General] HirogenX:
Yes, it is but no change. The strange thing is that this message appear directly after installing and reboot without I did any changes in settings.

Another question :witch partitions need to be mounted for normal use. In cwm I hadn't to do this manually.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
That is strange! Never happened to me. 2.6.3.0?

Same with twrp as in cwm. Mounts are done with updater-script within the zip.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] HirogenX:
The strangest thing is, I have the same issue with the original twrp an with maclaw's too. Maybe it's my bad phone ghost, every time I have strange issues like that. :banghead:

Btw :cwm is working without any problems

Help needed anyone. I just can't install any recovery with odin.

Stuck on setup connection every time.

I have stock MG4 rooted, enabled dev. options ofcourse.

Flashed roms before with odin, now its stuck.

Installed latest drivers again also and tried many versions of odin... Failed!

Also tried with the apk GooManager and it says no recoveries for my phone.

OMG forgot the most important step, bloody download mode :)

Solved

Hi,

I'm planning to format /boot. Which CWM Recovery should I use? The latest version don't have it.

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I'v been offline for a few weeks..sorry for not answering.

You really don't need to format boot since it will be flashed with whatever rom you're planning to flash.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
I tried to flash the TWRP using odin exactly as you say. No matter what I do it goes back to stock recovery.

The phone was 4.1.2 stock (not rooted) and i used ODIN to put Nova CM11 with TWRP. That failed and I have been trying ever since to get a working phone.

Thanks for help.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Hi. What is it that's not working with the phone?

Have you tried different cables and usb ports? What Odin version have you used?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
I have tried 3.04, 3.07 and the 3.07 on NovaFusion site. I have done it on Windows 8.1 and 7. One cable but three different ports.

I can flash and use any stock rom. Have installed pre-rooted roms.

But when I flash CM11 or any other custom rom using ODIN they will not boot. Infinite loop and custom recovery is gone.

When I boot into recovery the little Android installer guy flashes for 1.5 seconds and then I am back into stock recovery.

So I can either use stock or solve this problem.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Have you tried to flash a new recovery any other way than Odin, like using RomManager or something?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] sa-ra:

Thanks for help. Since last post: Installed rooted stock rom. Installed CWM 6.0.2.7.

Still cannot overwrite with TWRP or 6.0.4.9. (ODIN or RomManager etc.)

How do I flash TWRP over CWM from within CWM?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Flash the zip made for recovery with your current recovery, and then reboot to recovery. Easy as that :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
From inside of CWM 6.0.2.7 (no working ROM on the phone at the moment) I have tried many times flashing the 6.0.4.9. But it kills the recovery completely.

Now I can't even get to Stock because CWM won't get overwritten.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
It sounds very odd. No errors in cwm or odin? No info about bad blocks or anything when you're in download mode?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
Yes it is odd. Odin says all is well. I can no longer get to CWM. I tried flashing CWM 6.0.4.9 from inside 6.0.2.7 and it killed recovery. All I have is download mode. For some reason (ODIN 1.85, 3.04, 3.07) all will do everything successfully. They know the phone and I get a RES OK and the phone attempts to reboot.

I have flashed several rooted stock ROMs and they all don't end up booting and I still can't get into any kind of recovery. The recovery on this phone is locked down very hard. The only way I got CWM on it in the first place was from a stock and RomManager. Now I can't even get back to Stock in any way.

Thanks for your interest and help.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
You can try the service firmware with pit-file, and re-partition ticked in odin.

This sound like some kind of write error so ...maybe it can be fixed with repartition.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
Thanks tys0n,

I have two rooted stock ROMS. How do I change the normal PDA flash. I too think there is a partition error from my earlier attempt to go to KK.

I use stock rom and then add what? Thanks for detailed help.

UPDATE: I found a PIT file and tried to flash it with repartition selected in ODIN. Fail.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
You'll find a link to that two-file service firmware here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2157105

Download I8190 серв.укр.rar

Unpack .rar and open Odin.

Select the goldenxx.pit to [PIT]

CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 to [PDA]

CSC_QXE_I8190QXEAMA1_20130109.163004_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 to [CSC]

Hit [Start] when device is detected by Odin.

You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!

Just go to download mode again and flash your choice of firmware.

I've used it myself several times to unbrick my phone. A life saver :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
Working on it.

Questions about ODIN:

Does it matter how you open it? Click or Run as Admin?

Does it really matter what Kies is doing or thinking if ODIN work well?

What ODIN version. There are so many?

USB Cable/Port other. If ODIN runs right and detects phone does it matter?

---------- Post added 29th June 2014 at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was 28th June 2014 at 11:41 PM ----------

All done as you noted (thanks) but got a write operation fail on the PIT part. ODIN stopped after that. Now what?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Run as admin is preferred and its also best to make sure that no process with kies is running. It can interrupt the connection for Odin. I don't need kids so I only have drivers installed.

Odin 3.03 is included in that rar and it works fine. I've flashed with 3.07 as well, no problems.

USB preferably on the backside of computer.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
Thanks again. PIT Write Failed error. My guess is that a permission got messed up deep inside and nothing can overwrite the thing.

Just tried OneClick Unbrick. No change either way though it claims to have run.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Sorry to hear that. That firmware was the best option. It's the international i8190 right? Not N/L/T- model.

So..you're only able to get to dl mode right now, but nothing will flash?

There's either error or even if it pass nothing is changed?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
tys0n, Thanks again for the time you are taking. Yes I can only get to dl mode. Flashes (not PIT) run fine. No errors in ODIN. with or without autoreboot same problem. Infinite bootloop on Samsung GT-I8190 screen. No N on the screen and never was.

Phone bought on TaoBao (Chinese Ebay) Maybe a made for China only version. Sticker said i8190N. Phone said i8190. and baseband was i8190XX. . . when I first got it.

Internal memory was only 4GB and not 8. Phone box was french and phone sticker (under battery) was in Chinese.

I think it is not a fake but a Chinese version made after the regular product runs. Fine if you stick with the original 4.1.2 That it comes with.

I will send it back and try again.

Downloading Chinese Stock firmware now to see if that takes.

I will send some samolians your way as a thanks.

Still hoping to get a real/better one from TaoBao and try again. Will be a week.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I doubt it's a genuine Samsung with those specs. If you get a new one, then make sure it got the same hardware and partitions before you try to flash anything. I hope you get it solved and a new phone back. Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
Thanks again for all your help. Did get a new phone and it is great. Flashed the first time with ODIN using Novafusion. Only shows 4.65 internal memory but since it flashes fine I don't care. TWRP backups running well.

Hi all.

My model is the L. I've managed to get the CWM 6.0.5.0. The version this thread is the 6.0.2.7. I also found the 6.0.2.8.

Which should I install?

Now I'm with ALL stock (JB Stock ROM; kernel, unroot). Planning to flash a custom ROM KK.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
If you have the 8190 then nothing can beat the work of macclaw at novafusion.pl. you need 6.0.4 or better to flash kk. Don't even try without. You can flash just the recovery (twrp) through Odin from novafusion. Then backup your current install. If you Don't want twrp install the 6.0.5.0. Its great.

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

I hear the l version is touchy. Prone to losing imei or efs folder. So make sure you can get back to stock if need be.

flash hosts file to /system/etc on unrooted device?

Hi all,

Currently i have an unrooted stock 4.1.2 rom for enterprise/corporate use (mobile device management installed (MDM)).

I would like to get rid of ads by use of a hosts file, but I cannot root the phone as MDM would detect this and block programs or wipe my phone completely.

Does anybody know if it is still possible to flash a new "hosts" file by CWM/TWRP .zip file when the phone is not rooted ? If possible, i just need to flash recovery (hopefully not detected by MDM) and then flash the hosts CWM file.

Hi!

Im quite new to xda forums. However i have a big problem. I bricked my GT-S5839i (not s5830i) trying to flash razodroid v2.5.

Thanks to XDA i managed to unbrick following your instructions! But im wondering how most of the people owning this model of galaxy ace

managed to flash it with no problem and yes i followed all the instructions on how to flash it properly.

But bricked my phone twice! :(

Please can someone help me try to make it work next time. Im pretty sure maybe its due to different kernals.

If its because of that can someone post the links to the proper kernal and instructions how to flash it.

I currently have XXLA2 kernal flashed and with this Custom Rom (Deodexed ROM ) with ICS look for the samsung galaxy ace s5830i by rajrocks working nicely for the GT-S5839i, but i like the looks of Razodroid better!! :)

I would appreciate someones help.

I bought a sync-charge cable for my XDA II. When I used it, it started charging my XDA II from 53% to 100% charge. After that it started discharging :o , even though the XDA II said it was still charging. I eventually unplugged it when the charge got down to 92%. What gives? Anyone else with this problem? :?:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] IanF:
You are not alone

I have a 'Lill Sync n Charge cable, with the modifications to allow it to charge and it too reaches 100% then stops topping it up.

More strangely, it wont start charging for me unless I open up the Phone app, then plug the cable in! Most annoying. I thought it was just the mods I had done poorly :roll:

Even more strangely, it has in fact, been more reliable since I upgraded the ROM to the latest i-Mate version. Bizzare.

I've tried charging the XDA II using the cradle without plugging the power adaptor. After charging the XDA II to 100%, the cradle kept it at 100% (using only USB power). So it seems that the problem is with the sync'n'charge cable. Has anyone seen a sync'n'charge cable that not only charges the XDA II to 100% but keeps it charged at 100%?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] almondking:
Charge n sync cable ...

i had a charge and sync cable, but i find it really really strange ... when i plug in to the usb port, the orange led on the xda2 came on, indicating that its charging, when u go into the batter apps, i can see that it shows charging as well ..

after a while. i open the power app again and saw the power bar, in % keeps decreasing !!! whats going on .... ??

anyone encountered this before? btw, the charge and sync cable is not an original item.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] almondking:
[size=18]its charging now ...[/size]

what a heck ... it seemed like charging now ...

the power bar, in %, went down to 0%, then i unplug it (fearing that i might lose all data). was about to use the charger ti charge it, then i tot i might as well do a soft reset and try charging again ...

viola~~! it shows charging again and finally, from 0% to 1% in about 1 min time!! so i guess using a charge and sync cable to charge the xda2 will first discharge the remaining power and charge from 0% ... anyone to confirm on this?? its really annoying ..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] almondking:
conclusion?

well, the xda is charging near 30% now, but just wat makes the xda 2 charging ... ? it was discharging all the way till it reaches 0% ... then i did a soft reset and it went charging up now ...

was it the soft reset that sends the xda2 charging? ... or was it really had to discharge to 0% before charging up?? ...

puzzled ..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Deadman:
Odd... but it works

I tried using the Brando USB sync cable and it discharges... but when I had it synced I took the cable off and put it back after a few seconds it starts charging... hmmm....
