Can't boot it in recovery mod...just can boot to download mode :(

Thanx for feedback, than i'll add his link to OP
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
If you want, you can use kernel, but only in stock roms,

Basically no need for that, only if you want latest version
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
I suppose u are on stock rom? U use original cable? Cables somtimes are pain in ass, i have 3 samsung cables, one of them can only charge the phone, no data... But if i use that cable to connect usb 3.0 disk just into micro socet (thatway you have only usb 2.0) it works, so i suppose data pin's and wires are fine, but phone dont like that cable...

Try other cable, try other kernel... Drivers are fine on pc??
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 2010radams:
Yes mate i am on stock rom. I tried everything to get it to connect after i installed latest kernel and baseband. Nothing worked. So i reverted back to original kernel and baseband and it connected first time and every time after that. I than switched back to latest kernel and broadband and again it wont connect under any circumstances. Its strange. It isnt really a problem for me though because i just copy files to the external sd card and then take the ext sd out of the phone and then copy directly to pc that way. I just mentioned the problem here so people were aware of it and to see if other people had the problem or was it just me. Keep up the good work!

flash only the baseband...the kernel is only for stockroms
[Galaxy S III Mini General] hemligsomfan:
*Never mind, I had it backed up already. Thanx alot for the work you did*

Could you reupload the ALL6 modem i provided? I tried to downloaded it just now and it failed. I'd much appreciate it, cus the ROM im using causes havok with my reception.

And, i realy dont have the skills to make my own zip without hours of research.

Thanx :)

[Galaxy S III Mini General] NixyYumi:
how did you backup your baseband? :(
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gw|n:
You can do it for examle in terminal typing:

[Galaxy S III Mini General] NixyYumi:
Is this the backup to my baseband i just follow your instruction. Thanks sorry O.T.

I8190nxxand1

N version new baseband: I8190NXXAND1

GT-I8190NXXAND1_modem.bin_update.zip - 4.92 MB

tested on mine phone works just fine...

coming from: France (NRJ)

+first page got some changes:

OP general info and help (wip)

2. post: basebands

3. post: kernels
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mzheng086:
Thanks for the archive!

I flashed the latest baseband for I8190, namely, GT-I8190XXANC2_modem.bin_update.zip. However, my phone has since stuck in a vicious bootloop. It will vibrate, display "Samsung Galaxy S III mini," and then shut down, and repeat.

Before flashing, the phone can boot into CM11. The system status in CM11 showed "Unknown Baseband Version" and "Unknown IMEI". I remember the CSC code of my phone to be CNX. Obviously, the baseband I flashed doesn't match the CSC code. I wonder if that is the root of the problem.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
AFAIK CSC is irrelevant for basebands, but model version is,

so if you are sure you have i8190 (no N no L) than GT-I8190XXANC2_modem.bin_update.zip is right for u, (to be sure about model: remove battery and chech on label)

maybe try older baseband: GT-I8190XXANA2_modem.bin_update.zip or so

after flash if baseband unknown, you have to reboot once more
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mastermind256:
Hello, i'm from Malaysia and using the i8190n version.. Is it safe to update to baseband version ..........AND1? And what would be the benefits of upgrading? Tq..
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mzheng086:
I just tried. But it didn't work. Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
seems as bad luck for you...

flash stock from odin, if all fine, after that you can flach custom rom again... but leve baseband as is
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
yes you can flash that bb.

benefit? probably none, but you will feel better ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mastermind256:
And 1 more question, if I'm using Dmod V6, can I flash the newest stock kernel from this thread?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
DMOD is stock based (moded stock) so yes, you can flash stock kernels, it should work
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mastermind256:
Thank you.. :):)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] brazabr:
I need to tell that I tried first to update my GT-I8190L with the Baseband from the OP link (d-h.st/ARN) and the device went crazy (slow, hot, no signal, no baseband and few reboots).

Then I reflashed with the one from snifer and it worked for me also.

I suggest that snifer link (d-h.st/INr) to be added or using instead of current one in the OP.

Also this baseband really improved my battery life a lot and the status of the network is updated a lot faster in case I lost connection or signal strength drop.

Working really nice with latest CM11 from Maclaw.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
thank you for reporting, sorry i had in mind to remove that and replace it with snifers, but i forgot, onlly football now counts..., basebands are on hold ;-P

[Galaxy S III Mini General] NixyYumi:
how's the performance of this new baseband I8190_modem_ANF3.? is this better in ANA2? :highfive:

who's using CM11 with this baseband ANF3 or ANA2? i can't flash because im little busy at my office =/ :good:

my only complain is battery drain & signal weak so im thinking this both ANF3 or ANA2 =(

im currently using i8190 ANA2 *BASEBAND* 4.4.4 CM11 with the latest flash 0621 :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gw|n:
In my opinion is ANF3 better than ANA2 :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mauam:
I have better signal & battery with ANA2. Anyway you may have different performances with the same BB as me, it depend where you live & other stuff:)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] NixyYumi:
Ohh how could i know if my BB is compatible where i live? Anyway i use ana2 give me a lot changes even my battery and signal never fail me i was curious to the new BB so i ask here xD :confused:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gw|n:
You must try it personal and you will see which one is better.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
Not sure where to ask this. I have been trying with ODIN to install CWM and or TWRP. Every time the stock recovery comes back.

I have unchecked autoreboot, pulled battery and boot into recoveyr. Always stock.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
Hi, you have 2 twrp threads: android-andi's in development section, and maclaws in original development, both recoveries are fine, and youl find descriptions.

Shortest way, go to novafussion.pl site -> downloads -> s3m -> rwrp -> and grab Odin file... Flash from Odin as PDA....

That should be it...

If not, other method can be: extract recovery.IMG from that zip on PC, and use fastboot...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
The TWRP via ODIN fails every time and the stock recovery comes back. I may try fastboot
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
Is it a .tar file, for Odin it must be .tar, try older Odin let's say v. 1.85
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
Thanks mattiawhite. Yes I have tried tars of several twrp and several cwm. But when you boot into recovery the little android spins quick, goes away and voila the stock recovery. Weird. I have tried that version of Odin but will try again. Will also try rommanager from rooted stock.

8190N

On Sammobile there is the MODEM: I8190NXXANR6 do you have this to download? Should so newer than the ANF2?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] koragg97:
For which phone: L N or International ?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
I8190NXXANR6

It's right there :)

Don't know what's up with the R thing tho. It must be a modem from the future :D
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
I think it is misstype, I supose it should be *F6 not *R6,

I'll download and make zip soon...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Yeah it could be, or Samsung changed their way to name updates for no reason which would be just stupid.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
Wouldn't surprise me ;)

But if you check Joel's virginity v13, there is also *F6, for N version, and I suspect that German R package is source

[Galaxy S III Mini General] LuqmaanMathee:
Which modem works best on kit Kat and which stock ROM is the best one to download if I need to go back to stock?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
Baseband: up to your network/phone/ROM combination, you really have to test what is best for you

Stock ROM: best to use latest from provider/country where phone is from
[Galaxy S III Mini General] koragg97:
LOL I didn't see the N there :D
[Galaxy S III Mini General] walttheboss:
Thanks again for the time you are taking. 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. FAIL!!!

Still hoping to get a real/better one from TaoBao and try again. Will be a week.
