Earlier it wasn't working for me but now after the last 2 updates its working perfectly without any fc.

Try updating if you haven't yet done that.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] shanwarsi:
Everybody saying force closes. So read this:

1: Download The Camera.

2: Disable Google Play Services.

3: Open Camera, it will be working well.

4: Enable Google Play Services, NOTE: DON'T UPDATE THE GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES WHEN YOU ENABLED IT AGAIN, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN JUST GOOGLE CAMERA WILL NOT WORK!

5: Enjoy :D

Having the same problem, camera fc on re enabling play services even with updated version. With the old play service app though the camera works but then Google hangout keeps asking me to update it
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] akroeger1984:
Its going to do that unless you upgrade to 4.4.2 when google play services works happily with the camera app at its most up to date version

I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini Value Edition i8200L , i'm from Costa Rica and i tried everything to root it , from Android Unified Toolkit (That ensures that root the S3 Mini VE) to DoomLord and SRSRoot but nothing worked , the only metod available to root this phone is with VRoot 1.7.6.5899 this is the chinese version , the english version doesn't work cause i tried and nothing ,i think that was impossible to root it but i tried the chinese version and it works.

Here's my tutorial to root it (Sorry for my bad english)

1-Download VRoot in it official page , google it because i can't put links here cause i'm new member , the version that works it

VRoot 1.7.6.5899 if there are a new version just download it.

2-Install VRoot.

3-Download and install Samsung Drivers , google it to :D

3-Activate debug mode in developer options , if you dont have developer options go to About Phone and press 7 or 10 times in Build Number or Compilation Number and the developer options will be available , after go to it and activate debug mode.

4-Allow instalation from external sources , ubicated in security options.

5-Open VRoot and wait to detect your phone , if not reconnect the phone to the computer or reinstall drivers.

6-When VRoot detect your phone press Next in VRoot and the root procedure will begin , it will install 2 chinese aplications 1 is like Aptoide and the other is the Superuser , you need SuperSu because it is the more stable , after the root finishes the phone will reboot and you have root acces.

(Next Steps are optional because i'm gonna show you how to change to SuperSu)

6-Download SuperSu from Play Store , open it and install binaries.

7-Download Link2SD and make SuperSu a system application.

8-Reboot the phone.

9-Open SuperSu and if it asks you to update binaries , do it.

10-Go to Link2SD and uninstall the chinese apps that VRoot install.

11-Enjoy root :laugh::laugh:

I posted a screenshot that VRoot shows when i rooted the phone.

Good Luck , any questions i'm here to answer it. :D
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ibnfahmi:
yessssssssss it works,with the version you prefered,thank you man
[Galaxy S III Mini General] DanielCarbajal96:
You welcome ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] shinmarwan:
my eset smart security caught a lot of viruses in VRoot. :(
[Galaxy S III Mini General] DanielCarbajal96:
They are not viruses , they are exploits and the antivirus detects them as viruses.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] hans_passat:
Works also on S3 mini VE European version i8200N

Thank you so much DanielCarbajal96 !

I did exactly according to your description and it worked fine for me.

There was an addidtional thing to do: allow installation of external sources had to set.

The first time I set it on 'once' and only one Chinese app was installed , I had to do it again.

After I finished did something wrong when I installed SuperSU form the marked. It was not able to update binary's.

I did a 'RE-ROOT' , and now it is perpect.

thanks a lot.

Now, that's a much more complete answer, thanks, and i'm sorry for going against the rules.

So, let me ask again, in english this time. After trying for a while, i finally could root my phone, so thanks. Do you know, by any chance, if you can install the CyanogenMod on this phone? As in the i8190L? Thanks in advance for your answer.

i will root my i8200n.

i have try vroot. vroot install kinguser and have no problems.

i install root checker and it ask with kinguser. but root checker says he has no correct root.

titanium backup works, but orbot don't works.

i also try root genius application but it is the same.

what can i do? :crying:

EDIT: Kingo Root doesn't also not work. USB-degging is on.

EDIT2: ok... the rom is the problem. with I8200NXXUANG1 i have no prblems and root check say it is all ok.

but orbot doesn't work :( it connecting in green but no traffic
[Galaxy S III Mini General] fredmga:
I did everything, but in the item 10, when i deleted all the apps installed by VRoot (including KingUser), i cant open SuperSU anymore (says that can´t install binaries), then i cant modifie nothing in Link2SD (not root access), and cant uninstall SuperSU either... (sorry abou the english)

My question is: must i have to leave KingUser also installed (with SuperSU)? or i can delete it?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] robrazil:
Hi, guys.

Well, all links of Vroot official like www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot, http://vrootdownload.org/ and http://vrootdownload.info/ only download the 1.7.3 version, until the links that say to be v1.7.6 and v1.7.8.

I have a model GT-I8200L, from Brazil:

- Android Version

4.2.2

- Baseband version

I8200LUBUANE3

The 1.7.3 version not work to root my model and I found the 1.7.8 chinese version in other post inside here, on the message http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53548755&postcount=41.

Only the v1.7.8 of Vroot worked to my model.

I hope this helps someone.

[ ].
[Galaxy S III Mini General] pjotfurek:
Hi all!

First of all I wish to confirm that Vroot 1.7.9 works fine and my S3 Mini VE is now ROOTed.

Specifically:

- VRoot v 1.7.9.2.140927

- Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8200N [Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean - Baseband I8200NXXUANG1 - Kernel v3.4.5]

Cheers mate! Many thanks for putting this Guide together and helping us noobs with ROOTing our Galaxies.

Do find an archive attached with this post. It is that thing which worked well for me.

Now You don't need to waste time, rummaging throug the Web, as most of rubbish out there is in fact an old 1.7.3 version...

As DanielCarbajal96 mentioned above, the entire rooting process took around 5mins, it was entirely in Chinese. There were some, easily understandable, pictures and symbols which lead me through the whole process.

Since I had Kies installed for a good while before I even thought of ROOTing my I8200N I decided not to bother going after any other drivers.

At long last, I can tidy up my App Drawer and do some Freezing and/or Unistalling :D

Firstly, all the rubbish such as Facebook or ChatOn... GONE :) Then some magic from Titanium Backup etc.

By the way, NONE of the lot such as Contacts, Messages, etc. were harmed during ROOTing process.

Work away freely then and enjoy some more freedom.

Again, much obliged to DanielCarbajal96 :beer: :highfive:

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Dirty one:
Thanks for the guide, my i8200n is now rooted! :good:

Hi,

I'm new and I'm not english, sorry for my english .

I have a Samsumg Galaxy S III mini ( GT-I8200, android version 4.2.2 ) .

I noticed my device it's different from others, it's the last model .

I searched online but it seems there aren't Cyanogenmod support for this device .

Someone reached this objective unless errors ?

P.S.

I wrote here because the user has reached the root-objective, maybe he can know something about this ROM :) .
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Chewy:
Like some others have reported, i'm also having problems swapping Kinguser for SuperSU after rooting with vRoot. Anyway, i've tried everything i've seen posted here, but i always get the "Installation failed" message when SuperSU tried to install binaries.

For now i'm just sticking with Kinguser. It seems to work fine and as long as i've got root access i'm happy.

Hi 2 All!

Finally I was able to root the I8200N and just want to share 2 All:

on I8200N:

- installed the USB-drivers on PC

- USB-Debugging on

- put latest SuperSu (1.51 from Chainfire) onto phone

- turned I8200N off

on PC:

- installed Odin (I have used 3.0.7) and opened it

on I8200N:

- put I8200N to download-mode (Vol- + Home + Pwr)

- connected I8200N to PC (USB-cable)

on PC:

- Odin showed COM-connection (light blue colour)

ATTENTION: DO NOT CHANGE THE FLAGS SET BY ODIN AUTOMATICALLY!!!

- clicked 'PDA' and selected latest Touch-Recovery forI8200N (downloaded from web)

- clicked 'START' and few seconds later Recovery was installed

- Auto-Reboot of I8200N

- turned I8200N off

- disconnected I8200N from PC

on I8200N:

- went to Recovery (Vol+ + Home + Pwr -> once SAMSUNG-logo showed up I have released Pwr)

- few seconds later Recovery showed up

- picked 'install zip from (external) SDCard'

- picked 'SuperSu.zip'

- installed it

- reboot of I8200N

- went to PlayStore and installed 'RootChecker'

ROOT ACCESS + SUPERSU

-> now root-apps can be installed/used like TitBackup and others!

BR,

[Galaxy S III Mini General] adremides:
This works but...

I been able to use KingoRoot but not before I tried unsuccessfully vRoot (called iRoot actually, right?), because this one install the ADB drivers when KingoRoot just loop without doing it. That was my experience. I was already rooted KingoRoot the first time successfully (when I actually had the drivers installed because was testing Android Studio) but then I re-installed and lost drivers plus I been trying to change to SuperSu and broken the superuser (it is difficult to me to explain exactly how I broke it in english).

Thanks for the tip.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] cloudmann:
Old thread, I know, but for anyone stumbling across this, the most reliable way I've found to root the i8200 is through Odin and TWRP. Download Odin, TWRP 2.7.2.0 for the i8200, and SuperSU. Make sure your PC has the Samsung driver's installed. Boot the i8200 to D/L mode, connect to your PC via USB cable, and use Odin to upload TWRP as the new recovery, using PDA. From there, put a copy of the SuperSU zip on an SD card and into your phone. Boot the phone into recovery mode and use TWRP to install that zip file. Boom... rooted i8200.

What size rom slots do you guys create? Including cache and everything else.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Droid1177:
I read on one of these forums. 1GB for testing, 2 GB for extensive testing, and 3 GB for daily use. Those are all data partitions. The default on system and cache have worked good for me. I recently made my daily ROM slot a 3 GB and noticed it was slightly smoother.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I bump up the system partition to 1GB and use default sizes for data and cache (2GB and 700MB, respectively, I think). I increase the system partition so I can use the Paranoid Android stock or full modular GApps.

Works great, used flashify.I'm a long time twrp fan.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Not So Pro:
Don't ask me what I did, but I went to go flash another ROM so I booted back into recovery and up came TWRP. This is after I flashed PhilZ with Flashify. I sorted it out but just wanted to let you guys know.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dm5530:
Many thanks! Very glad to see this now available for the M8. Very much appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I have seen this on all my devices. Never used it but thinking bout it...I can't remember for the life of me if I read somewhere you can restore twrp backups in this or maybe it's other way.?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] spy4ka:
The recovery is great. I always was a fan of CWM, but this is beyond superb. It works as intended and looks fabulous.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dm5530:
Just installed to check this out.

I tried using the Install option to see if I could get to zip files on my external SD card. Lists SDcard1. That doesn't jive with what I've observed with Root Explorer (which lists SDcard2).

Tried using SDcard1 and it just seemed to hang.

I feel I need to ask if the M8's mount points and names are correctly implemented. I've read they are not the same as for the M7 and the lists I've seen for the two do differ.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Not So Pro:
Hmm. That's odd. I just rebooted to check in recovery myself and it work perfectly fine. Tell me what happens when you do this. Goto Install Zip - Install from SD - and select sdcard1. If it 'hangs' touch the screen. Is there still vibration feedback?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wonkizzle:
Flashify got the job done for me. I enjoy it so far. Cant use extSD to install roms though, had to move the zip to internal to install properly. I dont know if this was a conscious choice or not. But im still pleased.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dm5530:
I'll try to check this at home tonight. :)

The post by wonkizzle also suggests this recovery isn't currently able to install from the extSD.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Phil3759:
extSD/external_sd/sdcard1 and such has no meaning, we're not in windows, it is linux

Read the FAQ and ask your ROM maker to fix his work

Else, follow his advise and use TWRP, but read the FAQ to understand why it is not a good idea...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dm5530:
Did I say or do something wrong?

Trying to be respectful. If it came across otherwise to you, my apologies.

I used your recovery on my Rezound and was pleased to see it coming to my M8. When I tried it, it didn't behave the way I expected. That may very well be my misunderstanding or confusion; I was just trying to provide feedback like you asked in post 2.

I recognize that my knowledge and skills are certainly no match for yours, but I am trying to offer what I can to the community.

tl;dr If there is something I can do to help with feedback or testing, I'm willing to try.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Phil3759:
If you try to be more clear, step by step to reproduce the error, rom name AND ATTACH A LOG, you'll get help and answer for sure

Please also read main thread, mainly the FAQ

edit: And I guess it is VIPER something rom you fail to install! Was discussed and explained. Either here or in the main m8 thread + FAQ N°13
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheBurgh:
Can you rename a backup saved to sdcard1. I searched the thread and apologize if I overlooked the information.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Phil3759:
you can rename the folder holding it, but no spaces or any wired character

you cannot rename files inside the containing folder
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheBurgh:
Thank you
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Phil3759:
Invalid characters:

/><%#*^$:;\"\\\t,?!{}()=+'¦|&

But could be non exhaustive (space is also invalid)

These are what I blacklist when reading ROM Name from cookers
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dm5530:
You seem to be upset with something I've written.

You're not accepting private messages. I was trying to offer an olive branch in my prior posts even though I do not know why I should have to.

1. I'll keep your requests in mind. BTW, I had previously read the FAQ and re-read it again today.

2. I've never used "VIPER something rom" and have no idea why you tossed that in.

Thanks.
