Thanks, that would be much appreciated. Just been modding a stock ROM for now, cleaning it up and such.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Oliver helped me fix camera and audio still no ril
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 16BitRun:
Hi, I tried flashing your CWM Flashables but I keep getting "E : signature verification failed". Any thoughts? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Try mine it is in the op its in .tar format

Audio works still no camera but I know how to fix it. Ril I am lost. I also fixed mtp I forgot to mention it not working.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] goldfingerfif:
You are flashing them from Clockwork Mod? Did you try to toggle signature verification off?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 16BitRun:
Yes I tried flashing with the stock recovery and CWM but both stated the same message. I didn't know of this toggle. Let me give it a try. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] goldfingerfif:
Neither of my files will flash if you're using the stock recovery, only with CWM. Stock zip is to revert back and CWM zip is to use if boot looping if a bad cwm is flashed
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 16BitRun:
Ok, I reverted back to stock for now. When I get home I'll Odin the recovery from OP then flash your CWM zip since my original problem was that it kept looping into CWM after Odin. Is the signature verification toggle right on CWM to turn it off?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
then theres no point of flashing it he made it so you can flash it from cwm. Its the same one from the op . Say you was on my old recovery you could flash his zip to install the new one from the op
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Something I must let you know camera works and signal :) Now I have to do source updates for t-mobile. [MENTION=5354456]tamil.soljahz[/MENTION] if you want a build for yourself let me know have not seen you in a while and I think I lost the apn info for wind. I actually feel dumb for signal not working
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
great ! can't wait for upload . well if you need anything to make a t599n version . I could help but if you , not that you have to. it would be well a ppreicuated

Hah, sorry about my absence lately, school started and I'm still adjusting to the workload, and I'd love to see a build on my phone!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Send me your apns again going to hook up T-Mobile and wind version .seems no one with the V uses videotron
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Here you go, and thanks once again man, when I got the phone I was a bit disappointed that there was no active development community and was saving up some cash to get a new phone with an active development community, but not anymore.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
:D I was surprised I got cwm working that fast thanks to you I would have never got this far or without [MENTION=336735]tyson[/MENTION] you all made it possible. Especially [MENTION=4495609]OliverG96[/MENTION] I know I was annoying with the questions but you helped so much :p
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
[MENTION=5354456]tamil.soljahz[/MENTION] send me your lib folder something might be different.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Dang I set you guys apns wrong BTW your my T-Mobile guy I need system/lib tmobile version is different going to split the source for device specific blobs and I noticed the T-Mobile has its on config for camera but its too late started the build already so I hope it boots . [MENTION=5354456]tamil.soljahz[/MENTION] finished your source too minus the libs
[Galaxy S III Mini General] drevil00:
which file do you need or do you need all of them?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Yeah I need the whole lib folder way too many to just pull
[Galaxy S III Mini General] drevil00:
Okay bud here you go http://d-h.st/rcH
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
I'll have to finish up later thanks sound is not working again I don't know why though well at least not yet
[Galaxy S III Mini General] drevil00:
okay no problem you need anything else let me know
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
I will that's all :) running all 3 builds at once hoping that I won't need to change the libs really hoping they are all the same
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I'm sure you would have made it without me, but thanks :)

I got "complete write operation failed" error with odin. Any idea why?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Sorry I don't have windows I use heimdall
[Galaxy S III Mini General] thecasual01:
How do I go about installing it through heimdall?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Once you install heimdalls lib USB it comes with extract the whole stock tar to a folder.

Open heimdall

Select last tab

Then download. Pit from your phone it will let you name it name won't matter must be in download mode

Then after you have the pit go to flash then browse and choose pit

After you load the pit a list will popup choose system and kernel that's all you need for stock system is system.img and kernel is boot. Img . then make sure they are the only two added go to USB device and hit detect then back to flash and hit start if you can hit start then you added another partition just hit remove there are guides on Google don't hit repartition makes it fail
[Galaxy S III Mini General] thecasual01:
how do i pit from my phone?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Idk wait till I get home we all have the same pit
[Galaxy S III Mini General] thecasual01:
Was anyone able to install this through Odin?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Are you using mine from my goo. I can make you one that flashes in recovery later I'm partying :D
[Galaxy S III Mini General] thecasual01:
I'm using the recovery.img.tar from devhost.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] drevil00:
here is the one i made from Unjustified Dev. It is flashable in odin and works

CWM Tar won't flash

Hello there.

I have this problem. I have a SGH-T599N, from Metro, just like you Unjustified Dev. I downloaded the CWM tar and odin 3.04 from first post but when I try to flash it, odin hangs saying kernel2, then after a while it says write operation failed. I tried Odin 3.07, same result, and the same with odin 1.85.

Here is log:

<ID:0/023> Added!!

Unjustified Dev, which is the correct odin to flash the recovery?

Best regards.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
I've used both odins to flash and they worked fine, is your phone in download mode?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
what is " __XmitData_Read .."? I've never seen that before.

Try with this one. It's same from op but with md5. Unzip it first.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Wth did he not use PDA to flash it lol I never seen that .
[Galaxy S III Mini General] zeddicus71:
Hi there. That was Odin 3.07 log.

I am going to download now the zip you posted, try and report. It will take me time, since my connection is very slow here.

Thank you all.

EDIT: Forgot to tell that I am not a rookie at this. I have a lot of experience, though I am not a developer. I set the phone in proper download mode, and selected the recovery in PDA section in Odin flasher. I had never seen that output before as well, lol.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
Having same problem, hopefully zip helps
[Galaxy S III Mini General] zeddicus71:
Downloaded tys0n attached recovery and flashed it. It worked like a charm. So, something was going on wrong with the recovery I got on the first post.

Now I am backing the rom.

Thank you for the support.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Cool :) I build stuff in better than I do manually decompiling , zipping and of course making Odin files as you experienced
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Just to let you know, [MENTION=5440021]Bestest[/MENTION] also ran into the status 7 problem while flashing CM. It said that ro.build.product and ro.product.device were wrong. It was rectified by removing those lines from build.prop and updater-script.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] zeddicus71:
I must add that I already made root (supersu) to the phone and successfully factory unlocked it so it can be used in other networks (and this is the MetroPCS version). That is one of the things I do.

But I love Android rom development and I would love to learn the different how to's.

So, I very much appreciate the hard work all developers do, and have a closer idea of how hard it can be.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Thanks how do you unlock it ? I could Google but rather ask
[Galaxy S III Mini General] zeddicus71:
Well, I actually used an unlocking box, SeTool, which has a module activated: LGTool + SGTool. I tried with Octopus Samsung but it did not work. So I had that other box handy and it worked like a charm :).

I have no idea if you can buy the unlock code from some provider for MetroPCS :confused: but this way I used, cost me nothing, except searching and doing the appropiate homework, and having the help of all you guys.

I am going to bed now. Unjustified Dev, I am not in the US, I am in Cuba :). Slow internet, that is why I can not reply instantly.

"See you" tomorrow, thanks a lot for all the help.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] drevil00:
while making a new nandroid i noticed on the bottom of the menu a warning that i have never seen before. it says "Warning: No file_contexts" Should i be worried about this, or just ignore it??
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Don't worry until we get 4.3 then its important if that message is there

Stock Metro PCS T599N

Hi, [MENTION=3245411]tys0n[/MENTION]. I spoke to Unjustified Dev and he said you would be abe to help me. I read somewhere you or someone posted or was going to post a link of the stock firmware for the Metro PCS T599N. Could provide a link of it and if I need to use Odin or Heimdal to flash? I want to revert back to stock while still testing Unjustified Dev's CM build since I have a lot of issues and need my phone for work. Thanks so much.

Don't repartition you do need the pit file
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I got all the files for all three models...i think.

Havn't had time to go through everything yet.

These images are just raw *.img-files from dd command.

Samsung use sparse imgs in official firmware so it's not really the same, but it works. I'll see if I can repack them as sparse images somehow.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TeeGev:
I'm in a bit of a predicament

Here's the story, I got a sgh-t599v from the Canadian carrier on Saturday and that same night I had the awful idea of going ahead and trying to root my phone with no experience or knowledge of how to do so, now luckily i came across this forum but I still messed up along the way, a couple times. I think my first big mistake was after getting the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message, I connected to Kies but Kies wouldn't connect to my phone, so I tried to flash my phone with some huge download method, the md5 title called 'SGH-T599V_VLAME3_YVLAME3.tar' and its 1.2 gigs. So that booted up and when I start my phone I get a setup screen and I have to re-submit all my data, then when I do all that it tells me that to get my phone to work I have to take the battery out and re-insert my sim, I do that, but again once it's booted I have to add all my info and it says the same thing, before all this I did backup all my files to an sd card so i try to download the app that I used but there isnt any space to download it to. At this point I just decided that Factory re-setting it was a good idea, after doing that, my phone goes into a boot loop. I try to flash with Odin a few more times, all fails. Now i'm back to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message and I don't know what to do, I am going to take my phone in and have it looked at by a Wind technician tomorrow but if there is an easy fix then I would much rather do that. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put this but i'm all out of options. Thanks in advance for any help you give.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Only guy I know with wind is [MENTION=5354456]tamil.soljahz[/MENTION] sorry always calling you lol. But it is your stock tar you made
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I think I just managed to transform the raw system.img to a sparse ext4 system.img with help of a few guides. I think I should try this on my own device first since I got official fw to go back to if sh*t happens :P

I'll tell you what I did.

Make working dirs.

mkdir system (to mount the old system.img

mkdir system_new (to mount the system_new.img)

Make a blank system_new.img

dd if=/dev/zero of=system_new.img bs=4k count=300000

Formating the system_new.img with EXT4.

mkfs.ext4 system_new.img

It will be a question where you will select yes (Y)

Override the file system check (If you don`t do this, the image will not work)

tune2fs -c0 -i0 system_new.img

Mount imgs to working dirs.

mount -o loop system_new.img system_new/

mount -o loop system.img system/

Copy content from /system to /system_new.

cp -v -r -p system/* system_new/

Sync files.

sync

Unmount partitions.

umount system_new/

umount system/

Remove workingfolders.

rm -rf system_new/

rm -rf system/

Now I got a ext4 system_new.img with the content of the old system.img

Renamed it to newsys.img and put it in ext4_utils.

Create temp-dir and mount it.

mkdir temp; mount -o loop newsys.img temp

Added root.

cp su temp/xbin/su

chmod 06755 temp/xbin/su

cp Superuser.apk temp/app/Superuser.apk

chmod 06755 temp/app/Superuser.apk

Make newsys.img to samsung image format.

./mkuserimg.sh -s temp system.img ext4 temp 1170M

This resulted in:

Creating filesystem with parameters:

Size: 1226833920

Block size: 4096

Blocks per group: 32768

Inodes per group: 7488

Inode size: 256

Journal blocks: 4680

Label:

Blocks: 299520

Block groups: 10

Reserved block group size: 79

Created filesystem with 2513/74880 inodes and 242881/299520 blocks

This should now be a sparse system.img (976MB, 1,2GB when unpacked with simg2img)

Unmount and delete /temp.

umount temp

rmdir temp

DONE!

I think it should be possible to make dump a sparse ext4 straight from a rooted stock device with busybox.

su

make_ext4fs -s -l 1070M -a system /sdcard/system.img /system

I tried it on my i8190 with CM10.1 and it resulted it a ~300MB system.img which got

recogniced in ext4_utils, and when I used "./simg2img system.img newsys.img" it resulted in a 1.2gb newsys.img. I would now be able to flash CM10.1 straight from Odin, HAHA :laugh:

It has the new scroll and touch fixes

I also repack with your latest ramdisk/kernel

I only did some small changes to init.rc as it is how adb is supposed to be restarted now, from recovery binary directly

Hope it did not break adb, sideload and usb storage mount

If something is broken, try to edit back this line:

write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions mass_storage,adb

to

write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions adb

I also edited vfat to auto type to not break exfat/ntfs fuse support and also enable partition external storage

question about flashing cwm

When I attempt to use odin to install the cwm recovery that is linked here, I get "failed" every time. I located another cwm recovery, um, somewhere else, and it worked to achieve root access, but it won't allow the phone to start up properly (it just restarts to cwm recovery). The only fix is to re-install the stock recovery. btw, I was able to make a cwm backup of the stock rom (but it has all of my stuff - if it would be helpful to anyone, I could do factory reset and then backup). Anyway, I am wondering if there is a stable cwm recovery that will allow the phone to work properly, and if so, where is it and how do I install it? (assuming, Odin). I have been rooting/flashing/etc. different phones for a while, and this is the first time I've experienced a problem like this (thought I bricked it last night).

Thanks to everyone working on this and all other projects, even if you can't answer this. Sorry if I screwed up about asking a question in the wrong place, or if the information is somewhere out there and I should have read it myself. Any help is greatly appreciated.

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

One more thing, I installed philz touch 5.15.9 and had same problem - it always restarts to recovery instead of to the phone software. Am I doing something wrong here?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Guess what its not you even though I don't have issues. Odin stock recovery then Odin philz. I haven't seen stock in a week or so... I don't really know
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mcspeedy:
I guess maybe I should have included that I am using the new Tmobile version SGH-T599 (I have seen it as T599"N" and SGH-T599DAATMB, the naming of this device is so confusing, as it appears that there are multiple variants with the same name). Anyway, I notice that you are sending from a different device? Maybe that's irrelevant. Just checking.
