Here is the file with the last ROM for O2 XDA Stealth:

Try to extract it somehow, the Answering Machine is not in the Extended ROM, it is already implemented in the system, so there is no installation package for it.

sorry to let you down

sorry about leaving you hanging, but if you just do a quick search on this forum, you will discover that this feat has been deemed impossible due to some hardware restrictions put in place into HTC phones. If you have an E-TEN phone, then you are lucky as there is an answering machine available on the internet somewhere.

I wish I didnt find this out as I would have rather had the hope that it was possible...

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenneka:
Hi there.

I recently flashed the OmniROM to my i8190, but since it got several issues, after two weeks i decided to flash stock ROM.

So i enter TWRP recovery and wipe all data on the smartphone, but then my computer crashed and lost the VM that got Odin and drivers etc. so in a new VM i decided to try to flash, but now i can't.

Odin doesn't recognize my i8190, i thought ADB sideload could do the trick following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559200but all i got was:

error: device not found

Now i ended up with a pretty brick hahaha.

How can i flash a ROM ..ANY to my phone.

I got another i8190 so i installed the drivers from it to the VM, all except the MTP device, that got error.

I also installed SAMSUNG drivers, but nothing, ... i'm kind of losing it now hahaha.

Can someone helpe me flash this thing?

a) I CAN enter TWRP Recovery

b) I CAN enter Download Mode

c) Don't know if Odin doesn't pick it up since USB Debug i presume it's not on, but then again, since no OS is installed, i don't know how to turn it on from recovery or something like it.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Try another usb port and/or another usb cable. Also make sure that nothing with kies is runnung in background if you happens to have that installed.

When you connect with adb, also take a look on your phone screen if it asks for authorization to connect.

You got both download and recovery so problem is with connection/drivers.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype74:
Try this :

If you have an external sdcard in your s3 mini then :

1. remove it and put it into a other phone

2. download a ROM and move the ROM what you downloaded to your external sdcard

3. Put the external sdcard back to your s3 mini

4. Go to recovery and choose "install from external sdcard"

5. And intstall the ROM

6. Done! You have a OS again.

It's very easy and if you don't have a external sdcard then you have a big problem bro ;)

If you have an adapter (micro SD to SD) then you should be able to insert the card into a card reader. This will probably be easier than trying to find another phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenneka:
Yeah i did this, but no luck at all.

Finally i change the usb driver, installed Kies again and voilá! Odin picked up the phone and flash were on .

Thanks to all.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarisPiper:
Glad you've got it sorted.

I've noticed my PC wants to install drivers for the phone almost constantly. Every small change seems to result in a change of driver. It can be frustrating.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efaustino84:
due to windows updates this should be expected that certain third party software like the drivers would need updates

so that leaves two choices

either keep your stuff up to date

or

get left behind and drowned in problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Everyone here has - I'm sure since the release of 4.3, experienced a partial corruption of their data/cache partitions.

What happens is you will go to wipe data/cache and you will get an error for a certain folder or subset of files, or the partition cannot be mounted. This ends up causing unbootable system, a force close of an app you cant clear the data for...and just the pure inability to wipe these partitions.

So most of us have taken the long road of flashing back to pure stock via ODIN, using casual to reunlock the bootloader ect ect...very very annoying process. The reason this works however is because ODIN uses a different method to wipe partitions then the custom recoveries we have available to us. Custom Recoveries wipe headers of memory blocks, this is the actual process that creates corruption to begin with. While on the other hand ODIN zero's out not only the headers but the entire blocks - thus fixing the corrupt blocks.

Guess what?! Stock recovery uses this same Zeroing process. So the short simple way to fix this...

1. ODIN Stock MC3 Recovery tar - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358550082

2. Boot into recovery, wipe data/cache

3. ODIN your favorite custom recovery back onto the device.

How much easier was that then fooling around with unlocking again? Enjoy.

Thanks [MENTION=2517144]krowley3[/MENTION] for the tarball.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I can confirm this does work. I flashed TWRP 2.7.0.2 the other day, on reboot of recovery got a message like this:

///////////////////////////////////error
/////////////
too many files open in data/media/com.blah.blah
///////error

I then proceeded to do an advanced wipe, wiping internal, data, system, cache.. data would freeze and not wipe.

This also will happen with cache partition..

Following these steps did in fact work:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] abay1289:
Works

I can confirm this also works.

I had a corrupt data partition whereby after one rom flash or another I could no longer install one of my apps. What I found was that in the /data/data/ folder I had remnants of this app that I could not delete. In my case, I could not install facebook. There was a com.facebook.katana folder in that data directory. In addition, I could not backup my rom. Wiping the data partition in Philz recovery still would not get rid of the folder and files. However, using odin and flashing the stock recovery I was able to delete those files.

The recovery goes in the pda slot.

After flash, it automatically booted, so I pulled the battery and rebooted into stock recovery.

Wiped data and factory reset in the stock recovery.

Rebooted into download mode and flashed a custom recovery tar file.

It was super easy. Granted I had to setup my phone again, but no big deal.

And let me just say thanks to [MENTION=2517144]krowley3[/MENTION], [MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION], and [MENTION=4986903]Deckoz2302[/MENTION] for their support and for keeping this phone going. :highfive:

I flashed the I605 pit file while flashing the stock MC3 recovery. It can be found here.

SCH-I605_16gb.Pit- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z

I did not check repartition, so it may have been unecessary. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12221385[ /URL]link to a good discussion of pit files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
it doesnt say, but im assuming at some point we need to odin MJ9 again after doing this? also im not sure this is my problem. my problem is when i flash the stock 4.4.2 rom i cant donwload ringtones and wallpapers from zedge. just says download failed. will this fix my problem? if not then my other option is to try folder mount which was linked in the rom thread which some people said worked

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] abay1289:
I was unsure at first also. You don't need to flash a new ROM at any point in this process. You will end up back on the same ROM you were working on before, but it will be same rom with data wiped. Just have to go through setup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
i didnt factory reset because i was worried i would end up without a rom. i just cleared cache with with the mc3 recovery. it may not be the right way and im not suggesting anyone follow my lead, but it fixed my problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] abay1289:
I wiped cache & factory reset. It did not get rid of my rom, which is stock 4.4.2. Factory reset just had me go through the setup when I rebooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
good to know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Yep spot on here. Same thing happened to me very recently and I was forced to Odin flash back to 4.1.2 and redo the entire process of unlocking my bootloader, upgrading firmware and modem to MJ9 etc all over again. Major hassle.

Question: why don't custom recoveries wipe the proper way? I mean if stock recovery can do it, surely the advanced recoveries we all use should be able to do it too no? I'm greatly looking forward to hearing about this topic in the future, it could be a great change for all custom recoveries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Hey,

I'm getting this error as well after I went from 4.3 to 4.4 and I'l trying to backup to move over to the 4.4.2] DN3 (Ditto Note 3) ROM. I haven't flashed a bootloader only a stockrom...It there anything particular I need to do?

I'm currently on 4.4. SR KK with both TWRP and PHILZ imaged.

I'm going to fire up ODIN 3.7

download and flash the stock MC3 recovery. I assume I'm checking bootloader in ODIN

Then wipe and flash PHILZ...Is that it? I'll still be running 4.4 SR KK which I can then backup?

Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You dont need to check anything in ODIN. This has nothing to do with the bootloader..

Those are the correct steps.. Youll need to flash PHILZ in ODIN though.. but yea it should fix that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Thank you...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rootabaga:
Can anyone else confirm the necessity and/or safety of performing these additional steps: adding the .pit file, battery pull, factory reset?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I odin flashed the stock recovery. ..restarted but missed the recovery screen so I pulled the battery...restarted in download and flasked philz. That was all it took.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rootabaga:
Reboot to Download Mode?

After you wipe Data/Cache with the stock recovery how do you reboot back to Download mode?

Do you have to pull the battery?

If you don't boot back to Download Mode, the phone will completely reboot and force you into the Setup Wizard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Hold volume down, menu key, power and you will get the android download triangle.

I didn't have to pull the battery, I just did when I missed chance to set the phone into download mode. It's easier to put into download when the phone is off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rootabaga:
Thanks. I hope I'm not misunderstanding you. I understand how to boot into Download Mode when the power is off. I wanted to know if there was a way to reboot into Download Mode directly from inside the MC3 Stock Recovery. The only option I see is a standard reboot.

After I perform the data/cache wipes in the Stock Recovery, I want to be able to go straight back to Download Mode so that I can flash Philz.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
That was my problem as well so when the phone restarted after the odin update to stock I wasn't able to get it into download in time.

I assume if you have the phone in hand you can hold the buttons as soon as odin completes the flash and catch it prior to rebooting all the way up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] abay1289:
I pulled the battery, because of the automatic reboot & what I think you are describing above.

As far as the pit file is concerned, it might not be necessary. See the thread linked below. Even though it is for a different device, the general discussion is relevant. From what I have read the pit file tells Odin what files belong in what partitions and the size of each partition. When you don't use odin to repartition your device, odin reads the pit file from the device itself. When I flashed with odin, I did not check the repartition button, so it was probably not necessary. But it couldn't hurt either.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12221385
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rootabaga:
I completely understand. That might be worth trying.

I agree, it sounds like it probably isn't necessary to flash the .pit file unless maybe there is concern that the resident pit file has been corrupted.

Thinking further about pulling the battery, which I am reluctant to do...If in fact the only real risk of pulling the battery while in stock recovery is somehow corrupting or damaging the stock recovery, maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal since I am just going to replace it with Philz immediately afterward.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
The way around pulling the battery would to be to just boot back up, power the phone down, than hold button to get back into Download Mode. If your data is corrupt than you can not reboot into your system, therefore a battery pull upon flashing a new recovery, stock or custom, is required.

Also, your better safe than sorry flashing the .pit file. This file directs where the images you flash in ODIN go. If for some reason they flash to a wrong partition.. that will be an issue..

So always use the .pit file;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Ok so do you have the stock recovery now? Is this the message when you try to wipe cache, dalvik and data through a custom recovery..

If so flash the stock recovery IMG in the op via Odin and then perform a wipe cache and a factory reset. Once its done reboot back into download mode and flash a custom recovery..

Stock recovery wipe should fix that problem.

1) Flash i9505_Downgrade_43_by_Leeno_.tar

2) Flash i9505_downgrade43_step2.tar

3) wipe data (if you don't wipe data s4 will hang at startup logo)

if you want update to 4.4.2 or newer 4.3 than mkf and keep root and knox 0X0:
