I have issues connecting SM-G730v to PC

I am wondering if this is the right place to put in this question but I am wondering if anybody else has had issues connecting to PC. There seem to be no drivers to get the diagnostic Com Port so I can connect to CDMA Workshop. (Debug mode, diag mode, service menu, hidden menu) The typical everyday stuff that connects most other phones doesn't get me hooked. I have googled for 2 days now hopping to find a solution but cant find anything. Any ideas or success let me know. need to flash to another carrier, but have yet to connect to workshop,

Do not root using 'quick root' 'Chinese root' 'kingo' or 'vroot' as these methods are suspect to ulterior motives and there exist a 100% verified safe and easy way to do it without these programs.

First, make sure your S3 mini SM-G730V is at firmware version ending in "MI9". (settings > about phone) and NOT "NA4". NA4 is patched and the root method linked to below won't work. Your phone should be at MI9 unless you updated it. If you are at NA4, download the MI9 firmware from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2569343 or from sammobile.com and learn (google) how to use ODIN to flash your phone back to MI9.

Once you are at MI9, follow the instructions from this thread on how to root your phone.

After root, learn (google) how to disable the SDM.apk and fwupgrade.apk update notification applications.

Root Achived

I have achieved Root Access on my Versizon SM-G730V by using Towelroot. I have Su installed and I have verified using root checker.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nav13eh:
Hello all! I own a G730W8, and have also achieved root using towelroot.

Also, my carrier just recently releases the stock 4.4.2 KitKat ROM for my phone, and I install that manually through Odin. I used towelroot to root it again. This new stock KitKat ROM is a significant improvement in performance over the previous Roms, and even includes better features to more effectively replace the touchwiz launcher and messaging apps entirely.

I am however still searching for a suitable custom recovery that works for this device. On the previous ROM, the boot loader appeared to be locked, so whenever I tried to boot into a recovery, it would get stuck in a boot loop. However, after installing the new ROM, this is not the case. Unfortunately, even though they don't boot loop, they just simply don't load because they aren't designed for this hardware. The only recovery I could get to load was one designed for a model of the S4 mini which was released at the same time as my device on my carrier. I had read in another thread that the assumption was then that it may work. It did in fact load, however was dysfunctional beyond the point of being to do anything with.

I wanted to share all that I have learned on this thread to help fellow owners of this model variant. I am considering attempting to build a custom version of Clockwork Mod for this device, since I can't seem to find any others, however I have limited experience with that and it could take me some time to figure our how to make it work.

If you want me to post a list of all the recoveries I've tries, let me know that you are interested.

Ok, so here is a list of Custom Recoveries that I have tried to install on my device, and have had no success, or limited success with. (SM-G730W8).

Official CWM Recovery (v6.0.2.7) from Clockwork's website: clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-golden.img

The above recovery results in a boot loop.

CWM (v6.0.4.8) designed for S4 mini version released at similar time as the G730W8 hardware; found here; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364980

The above recovery booted properly into a dim, and incorrectly orientated screen, with a constant vibration. Mostly dysfunctional, but did boot.

CWM (v6.0.5.0) designed for I8190; found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2774070

The above recovery refused to boot. It does not boot loop, it just gets stuck at the main boot screen with the blue "Recovery loading..." text.

TWRP (v2.7.1.0) by NovaFusion, I assume that this is designed for I8190 as well; found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678274

The above recovery once again refused to boot. It does not boot loop, it just gets stuck at the main boot screen with the blue "Recovery loading..." text.

I extracted the stock recovery image from the stock 4.4.2 ROM file released by my carrier, and used that to flash back the stock firmware after the above tests. I am currently working on setting up a build environment and understanding how everything works so I can try to build my own. I'll try to keep you posted if I get anywhere. If you choose to test the above recoveries on your device, go ahead, just know it's not anyone but your own faults for bricking, blah blah blah.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carpel21:
So a week ago I flashed 4.4KK with fastboot no problem, restored TWRP, root and went on my merry way. Last night I decided to flash 4.4.2 and it all went pete tong. I went into fastboot and flashed 4.4 boot.img to restore stock kernel (I was on franco) and rebooted the phone to see if I could now update OTA. On reboot I got nothing but black screen but no worries and went back into fastboot to do a flash-all.sh. It went ok up to flash bootloader and I get the error

'writing bootloader...

FAILED (remote: invalid bootloader image)

archive does not contain boot.sig

recovery.sig

system.sig

Checking product: FAILED'

I then tried opening the zip and flashing each component seperately and can flash system, recovery, boot and userdata no problem.

It also will sideload to 100% fine but then just says failed. The problem seems to be with the bootloader-grouper-4.23.img?

No matter what I try it will have a black screen if I try to boot, though I can flash TWRP and go into that and if I reboot from there it says no OS loaded?

Can someone get me out of this mess, I really need my phone working before tomorrow!

Good afternoon everyone,

I've been reading on XDA for quite a while, and I guess I am just as exited about the new Android 4.3 as you guys are.

I was so exited that i installed the firmware on the first day (using PC Odin) and flashed CF-root (also using PC Odin)..not thinking about the new sh*tty KNOX bootloader. So yeah..I voided my warranty.. no big deal.

As you know, CF-root also installs the factory recovery. I managed to instal CWM 6.0.3.1 Touch (again using PC Odin), but unfortunately I loose my root every time I do so.

Now, these days some of the great developers at this forum come up with there custom roms and kernels. I am very keen to start using them, but was wondering a few things..

1. Should I flash these .zips using the factory recovery, so with root? (I don't think so)

2. Should I flash these .zips using CWM, but then I don't have root while flashing?

3. Can I flash roms at all with my KNOX bootloader?

I've been reading and looking everywhere, but I can't find any clear answers yet. I hope you guys can help me out.
