Yes it works for that phone and will not brick it, just make sure to download the ROM for the Galaxy Exhibit off of Meticulus' website here.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Bebout:
Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate the help. What recovery would you prefer that I use? TWRP or CWM?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] pingstary:
I personally use CWM 6.0.4.7, which can also be downloaded from Meticulus' website.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Bebout:
I saw the tutorial on how to flash the recovery. Would that tutorial work with the TWRP_CODINALTE.tar.md5 file that I have? The exact same steps?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] pingstary:
Yes, it is the same procedure.

Bug Notice!

Bug Notice!

-------------------------------------

I've been tracking this bug for awhile now. Our gps module crashes causing soft reboots and wifi won't enable after soft reboot. It occurs when you have location disabled. When gps is enabled, everything is fine.

Workaround:

For now, Keep location enabled until next build.

Hi Meticulus, great work !! I've a codina device.. and i don't know where i should to add the live video stream patch !

In Kernel ? or in /system/framework ??

Can u plz show me the right path and how can i run / install the patch ?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KageBeast:
The patch is in the newest build...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
The patch needs to be apply by a ROM builder to the frameworks/av in the source code. The patch is not intended to be applied to an existing ROM. I believe that TeamCanjica and Novafusion are already aware of my OMX patches and are creating/have created new builds for the Ace 2. If you are a ROM builder and would like to apply my STE-OMX patches they are here: https://github.com/Meticulus/android_device_samsung_codinalte/tree/carbon/patches/frameworks_av

The ones ending in .disabled are not currently being used by me. The one that specifically fixes streaming video is here:

https://github.com/Meticulus/androi...orks_av/006-STE-OMX-Fix-Streaming-Video.patch

:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ace2nutzer:
Thank u very much Meticulus... therefore this Patch is for CM Sources.. and not Kernel Sources... actually i'm not able to build ROM's because my building System is not complete.. but i can building kernel... but i was wondering that in older Team Canjica Build from 06/07 the Live Video Works anyway without your Patch.. i don't know if my Phone is something special :laugh: But i can see the Video in Fullscreen mode....
[Galaxy S III Mini General] ace2nutzer:
I've flashed the latest Build from TC.... Changelog say: fixed 2nd Video rec bug and fixed live video stream .. thanks @ Meticulus... but the Bugs are still present.... any suggestions ?

Why are you asking here? I don't dev for your device. I suggest that you talk to the dev for your ROM/device and post in the appropriate thread.

I think i got all of the oc commits done. Just being really cautious in making the changes as to not cause any issues. i will get around sometime this week or next week to actually building it but you or anyone else is welcome to view source HERE credits go to XperiaSTE Team for doing the hard work.

Hope it was a nice surprise. :highfive: This ROM ( an all other KitKat ROMs for this device ) wouldn't be here if you guys hadn't donated money to some guy you never met, so he could buy the device ;)

Got a question? Im on this rom. Tried using swapper 2 to make swap partition on ext sd card. Ended up bricking my phone. Still can get into download mode, but i downloaded the rom from here to re-flash it and no dice. If anybody has any ideas as how to fix this issue so i can use it would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] riches2rags:
Thanks!

Just downloaded the latest stable Carbon rom. Been runnung Beanstalk but its sluggish. I'm using a rooted T599N converted to a T599, converted to a codinalte, reverted to a T599N and unlocked, upgraded to Beanstalk. Boots with the SIII Mini screen. Its got an identity crisis, maybe abandonment issues too, lol. Im tempted to flash back to T599 tmobile causer I like the boot screens, then upgrade to Carbon. Right now my internal SD card is ffuullll and I dont have anything stored on it!!!

Oh yeah Ive got a recent version of philz recovery too. Since Odin never worked for me Ive gotten used to Heimdall. It never lets me down :angel:

Quick question tho, I'm wondering if anyone knows whats up with the guys over on android forum using a pit file that has recovery out on partition 21. If I'm not mistaken that would require a full repartition, yes?

Oh, and if anyone knows, please PM me with anything you know about unlocking this beast. I looked high and low, dragged through modemfs2 etc..., but finally resorted to getting an unlock code from MetroPCS, a process that took an entire month and THREE days of trying before I found a way to make it work. Now Im usiing it with a T-Mobile $30 (5GB 4G/LTE) plan. Currently 4G data access is buggy. appears to be an issue with the timing accessing 4G radio parameters. Seems to drop back to 3G and time out request a lot :( Long story short, I have a couple more T599 variants gifted to me and I'd like to do the unlocking myself. I'm a stubborn SOB; wasted 2 months trying before going to metro for a code :D

Thats it I guess, thanks again...

(deep inhale) Sorry for the tour de force dump. I've been lurking for months trying to grok this whole thing. I've also got a T-Mobile S3 I bricked (its a hard brick...) and an AT&T I747 S3 that I'm now reluctant to futz with... Anyhoo I guess I want to come in out the rain and be an active participant. I love the Android platform, its my kind of sandbox. Just gotta get rid of the cat turds that keep showin up, lol

This ROM has run just great for a good while on my phone, but lately it's slowed down so much that I often get frustrated while using it. I guess I'll just download the newest version and try again :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KageBeast:
Could be because you're running out of space or using up too much ram. Otherwise I don't see how it would gradually slow down?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Kenneh FTW:
The only applications I have installed on my phone are KiK, Swiftkey and Nova Launcher and I can already feel it becoming sluggish.

I have 1.08GB of Internal Storage left and 29.34GB left on my MicroSD card.

I'm not too sure how to check the current amount of ram that's being used.

Kind of off topic

This is directed at Meticulus or anyone who reads this and can offer what they have learned about similar issues.

Reason for posting here: I want to know if installing a custom rom (such as this) or reinstalling a stock rom can remove the freeze on a sim lock.

Hello Meticulus, I am a mid level java programmer, and a mid level android user (i can run adb commands, rooted 10+ models of phones, installed custom roms 20+ android devices, unlocked 10+ gsm phones, essentially everything but building environments). But I have some off topic issues I am asking of people around the internet. Ill just get into it and not waste an more of your time. I was sold a refurbished device as new, and so when it came time I requested my unlock codes from metro, they sent me the network and sub-provider about a week later to my email. So happily I went to enter the code, but as it turned out, my "new" phone already had a user enter the code incorrectly too many times. I have been fighting with metro about this for over 4 months now, and essentially They have a method to get the mck code to defreeze the sim lock, but after I submit a ticket, about a week later I still receive only the network and sub-provider codes, and not the mck. So after trying 4 different ticket requests I realize they are just giving me the run around and do not want me to unlock my device. So my question to you is there another way of removing the freeze on the sim lock such as reinstalling the factory rom (I really love the interface of the stock) or installing a new rom? I have tried factory resets using several different methods, and this has not helped. Otherwise, is there a sim unlocking site you would trust? I ask since that new law, that went into effect in January 2013, made it illegal to unlock a device in the united states without the providers permission, but seeing as i do have permission I could try to explain to the unlocking services that I do indeed have permission, but that does not mean they will believe me. Lastly, and least likely, do you know how I could get my mck code in another way? Maybe a site you know that would give me just that code, i don't know. I have tried contacting Samsung, but they refuse to move forward in any sort of unlocking help because that is the responsibility and property of the provider. Long story short, any help you can offer is much appreciated.

I was wondering about the KitKat sdcard read only problem? I'm running Vanir at the moment and can't use my sdcard at all. I was wondering If Carbon ROM was a KitKat based ROM also. I hope not cause I need my sdcard. Anyone help!!!!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Jadox231:
This ROM is Kitkat based, but the SD card functions are working, it allows moving apps to SD card, not sure if vanir has it as I haven't used it, but maybe you should try this rom, and if the SD card isn't working on this rom, maybe it went bad? have you tried it in any other devices?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] CiscoKydd:
As soon as there is an OC kernel for my Galaxy Exhibit 4g T599N I need to get it. I will not ask when but I am waiting patiently.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Carbon ROM has app2sd built into the ROM. Be sure to get the latest release. For all other ROMs that do not have app2sd built in, you might want to try Link2SD as this seems to be the only workaround to KitKat.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
As for OC kernel you could easily pull the commits from a variant device that has the oc such as the xperia U/P or even the s3 mini in this section. Then you just replace them with the kernel source for your kernel. Example if you are wanting to build for latest Carbon 4.4 fork over Meticulus kernel source and apply and oc commits from s3 mini oc kernel. compile it and done. least thats the way i was gonna go about it but after numerous research they can get our novathors to 1.15Ghz stable however it drains a lot of battery. So i stopped. Personally i would like to have the option to change voltage settings on the fly like i was able to on my exhibit t679 but that used a qualcomm and was simple to add it in the ability.

As far as link2sd being the only work around is actually false. I was using foldermount just fine and vanir. As long as the app makes a symlink to real directory you fine.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] wilbigdaddy2000:
Well, its a Samsung sdcard. I previously was using a sandisk 32gd card which worked great. I switched to this one, 64gb, when I upgraded the software, clean flash, and all hell broke loose. I'm getting a sandisk next week. Just thought the software was tripping. I'm gonna try this software tonight though and see if I can save a couple dollars. I'll let you know.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TechnoDaft:
t599 has a 32gb sd limit

SGH-T599N, Galaxy Exhibit (Metro PCS)

Incorrect Radio/Baseband Version.

Radio/Baseband Version included in Carbon ROM 4.4.4 for Exhibit/Ace 2e: T599NUVAMD4

Please explain.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
I have made a mistake. The following changes your baseband to T599UVAMD5, which is the Galaxy S3 mini, which the Galaxy Exhibit is based off of.

T599NUVAMD4 is the stock modem for SGH-T599N Samsung Galaxy Exhibit.[/SIZE="5"]

Flashing Modems!

Flashing modems on this device is not supported by me. Make sure you are on the stock modem before flashing my ROM's! The installation process depends on it!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] bigjay1114:
I knew I should have waited for your confirmation. Could you help me get back to stock modem?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
I do see that I have made an error... after review of a STOCK rom, I have found that the STOCK Modem/Baseband is in fact T599NUVAMD4

However, I will say that it did not harm my phone, and I am not experiencing any problems with it, and even had to drive from Flint, MI to Toledo, OH... and still had no issues.

This must be because these phones all use the same or similar hardware.

I'm glad someone caught that. I will edit the post, sorry about the issue Meticulus.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

I am in the process of pulling the stock files from the stock rom.

I will have it up soon.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
I apologize for the mis-information [MENTION=5860752]bigjay1114[/MENTION].

I have successfully recovered mine, but before you flash these files, I must ask, did you perform a backup? If so, this will be simple. If not, you might want to just stay with the T599UVAMD5 setup... it's not going to hurt... because on a positive note, we have found another baseband that is compatible with the SGH-T599N! ;)

IF YOU DID NOT BACK UP YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU FLASHED, DO NOT ATTEMPT THE FOLLOWING

Same steps as before...

Go to your terminal in TWRP Advanced menu, make sure you're on top-level.

If your files are on the INTERNAL storage, then type these....

dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16

dd if=/sdcard/modem.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12

If your files are on your SD-Card, then type these...

dd if=/external_sd/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16

dd if=/external_sd/modem.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12

Reboot. You will not have service. This is where your backup comes in to play.

Reboot into recovery again, and restore your phone. Once done, you should have service again, and back on the stock baseband, T599NUVAMD4.

[MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION], I sincerely apologize for the mixup.

To anyone who has flashed these files, please contact me if you are having issues with loss of signal AFTER recovering to the original files, and I will walk you through any additional steps that I can find.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Let me be clear, flashing a different modem on this device may be an improvement and it may not. I don't know, I've never tried it. All I am saying is that, in order to flash codinalte ROM's you need to be on your stock modem. The installation will not proceed properly unless you are on the stock modem for your device.

After the install, if you want to flash modems, that's up to you. However, every time you flash codinalte, you must revert back to the stock modem for the installation process.

Also, If you have issues and are not on the stock modem, I will not address them.

Alarm clock fails

Hi Meticulus,

I have a bug here which is a show stopper. For example, the alarm clock does not ring in the morning. When I wake up, the time in the status bar has not updated since the evening before, thus the alarm clock does not work. What's weird is that the clock on the lock screen does update itself.

Would you have any idea on what the problem might be? I'm using the CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20141011-1541-codinalte version.

Thanks!

Unfortunately Meticulus pulled his website. His laptop was stolen and he decided to stop developing roms at that point. So pretty much he was the only person doing anything for the t599 so it's now dead.
