[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
This will be a place where you can find flashable zips for basebands, and kernels for various I8190 models

both extracted from official Samsung Firmwares and packed in flashable zip file.

I started to make just baseband zips for i8190N, based on script coming from Tys0n,

in time i was asked also to provide stock kernels for this device, and later on i decided to expand this Thread to all other device models, so lets make this a place for sharing and discussing about basebands in first plan, but also kernels if needed...

all zips are for custom recovery's like CWM or TWRP. [to be on safe side, do make a backup first, to be able to go back]

Basebands: Download links are on 2. post, flash zip from recovery and reboot twice if baseband unknown in phone settings.

[If u have problem like baseband XXXX and no connection to network, flash: for i8190 - thanks to tys0n; for i8190L; for i8190N - thanks to piskor, more info about this HERE, thanks to hasdroid]

Kernels: Download links are on 3. post, flash zip from recovery and reboot

Kernels marked as "STOCK" are for STOCK based ROMs only (bootlooping on custom ROMS)

Karnels marked as CUSTOM are for custom ROMs only (lice CM, Carbon, Omni etc.)

Samsung firmware (baseband) version number reference:

the last three letters that appear on the firmware code or name is the firmware version and follows a naming convention by Samsung which represents the build date and revision of the firmware.

So you can tell by looking at the firmware code which is a newer one:

for example, I8190XXAMJ2 is an older firmware, I8190XXAMJ3 is somewhat newer than *MJ2 (3 is greater than 2), while I8190XXAML1 is newer than *MJ3 (L is greater then J), etc. but what is the meaning of these three letters?

actually, for instance, the last three letters of I8190XXAMJ2 is M, J and 2, represents the year, the month of the firmware was built and the revision respectively. here is the break down for these letters:

- the first letter represents the year

J = 2010

K = 2011

L = 2012

M = 2013

N = 2014, etc

so XAMJ3 is a 2013 firmware while XANA2 is a 2014 firmware

- the second letter represents the month

A = January

B = February

C = March

D = April

E = May

F = June

G = July

H = August

I = September

J = October

K = November

L = December

so XAMJ3 is built on October 2013, while XANA2 on January 2014

- the third letter(number) represent the revision

so XAMJ2 is the second revision, while XAMJ3 is the third revision

as a result:

- XAMJ3 is built on 2013 (M) October (J) and is the 3rd (3) revision

- XANA2 is built on 2014 (N) January (A) and is the 2nd (2) revision
