Hi [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION],

hard time sound not so good. Hope It will be better!

I'll add you this evening to the Github... As I'm also on learning phase for Git I'm not sure how will be the bast way to share our work there. Maybe with branches? what do you think?

The last status I see is, that there are 2 versions available (one from my side and one from [MENTION=6122438]bilokonyuk[/MENTION]) for test, but with no response. I fear the guys are tired to test without success :P I've also put my latest compile-log on my dropbox-link. I see there a lot of warnings, but I think this is not really the problem...

I will be able to test soonest this weekend, as I'm also not at home...

I'll maybe fill the readme-file in github with my information's I have that it will be possible to see from which place I get which info...

BR

[Galaxy S III Mini General] dtrail1:
Ok, just add me then and if possible sum up your so-far success.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] bilokonyuk:
I had an idea. Look at his younger brother had takoyzhe i8190 CPU cycles but with Mensch frequency as well but all the same as in the i8200 or not. Well, the address and size of the system partition. Maybe we should try out their source.

Sorry for my english I am from Ukraine. Translate through Google translator.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I think this is not a good Idea, due to the hadware differences. The partition-stuff is well known i guess...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] dtrail1:
I am going to ask for help at Hashcode and maybe also Stargo. Hash developed the genious Safestrap recovery for a bunch of locked bl devices, such as the Moto Razr, etc. I am pretty sure he's got some helpgul hints for us. Now looking at the git ;)

I got tricked into buying this phone on a business trip thinking it was a 'normal' s3 mini. So if I can find the time before someone else gets it done, I'm going to try and take a stab at least at porting cwm to the 8200.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] poulopoulosa:
I have the GT-I8200n as well. I never had an Android phone because I avoided mobile phones (smartphones) that die in a day. (Although I have two android tablets). For my case because I clearly hate samsung's UI and launcher I rushed and tried to load the Cyanogenmode and bricked my s3 mini, hence I omitted checking model numbers.

Now I disabled most of the samsung factory apps and running a google now launcher.

I believe that Samsung's factory apps/software is the reason why my phone is lagging as well as its battery dies within less than a day despite its "ok" hardware. (or maybe I am wrong).

But..... yeah, trying to find another custom rom because I am so biast against samsung will test soon the recovery, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Hi,

new status. :(

I'm trying now all versions, and also did a new compile approach on CM11-Basis. Unfortunately not succeed.
[MENTION=3150522]Drail[/MENTION]1: I've put all versions under my dropboxlink ( https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9aayjzv0lzqk2wm/AADKi7x5zLqjEBueW4uJ7o0Ka ), and put there also my log of kernel compiling and lastkmsg's of the starting-tests. It seems to be that the cm11-version goes a little bit more ahead, because it can also mount some drives, but then the adbd sucks in oops. The virtual address where it sucks is not directly the same as it is for the previous versions ( cm11 00000084 and previous Versions 00000040.). So for me it looks like that there did nor compile it in the right way... So maybe you can see something in the logs what could explain it?

Its also the same for the version of [MENTION=6122438]bilokonyuk[/MENTION].

So I'm not sure how we can go ahead...

[Galaxy S III Mini General] slaykristian:
Did you never tried to compile all, without any changes in boardconfig.mk?

With the orginal one extracted from boot.img (instead of recovery.img, as you wrote some posts ago) of Samsung's sources?

In the recovery compiling process there aren't errors; the only one message is about the java version used...

Nothing also in kernel compiling.

...Mistery...

Thank you SolarPlexus!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
It is not possible to compile Recovery without the adoption in boardconfig.mk, because the first mk which will be made its just a standard file. And it is not avalible in the sources. unfortunatly you have to search and find the informations in the several files of the original sources.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gina-R:
I too have this model and am looking for a custom rom
[Galaxy S III Mini General] slaykristian:
[MENTION=3470903]SolarPlexus[/MENTION] : it seems that the compiling was good because you had not kernel panic messages or not recognized drivers. But I'm not a developer...

Thanks for infos about boardconfig.

I was hoping much more simple.

Good luck! We hope in you!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I found just some new informations, but I'm not sure if this is the case for the PXA988 board. It seems that there is the problem, if the files will be compiled with a full vfpv3 32 and the fpu is only a vfpv3-d16 the boot will be done in some mysterious errors... Unfortunatly I found at no place which kind of vfpv3 is used in the PXA988.

I'll try to compile it this evening with

TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT_FPU := vfpv3-d16

We will see

Another interested punter for a custom rom for the i8200. I didn't even realise there was a different model number hence I tried flashing CM i8190 on it, slight panic thinking I'd bricked the phone but managed to sort it after flashing a stock rom via odin.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Dear all,

as I learned now, I have to focus much more on the kernel, because there is a limitation in the ramdisksize to 1mb, and a recovery needs more than 1mb. I'll try to get more informations from a other pxa988-Kernel for the T210-Tablet, where a "blackhawk-Kernel" exist which can handle this problem. Nevertheless, It will take more time to come to a solution :(

Be patient, or better: Someone with kernel-knowledge try to do something for us... But I will also try... maybe I can port the blackhawk-kernel to ower phone...

BR

SP
[Galaxy S III Mini General] poulopoulosa:
Have you considered asking anyone from the TWRP team?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
No I didnt, because I can not connect/contact to many. At the moment I contacted the dev of the blackhawk-kernel, and hope we will come to a solution there...

But you can contact the twrp-team, maybe they have a solution for a 1mb overriding without modifying the kernel...

BR

SP
[Galaxy S III Mini General] poulopoulosa:
Im in contact in their IRC channel, so far no1 knows.

Got a reply :

bigbiff: you can either compres the ramdisk possibly if the bootloader supports it, or recompile the kernel with xz compression

Last status:

After investigating the bootloader-process I found out, that the i8200 has not the same issue as the t210-pxa988 version. The bootloader of the i8200 generally expects 16m setting for the initrd, so this is not the point.

Now starting analyse and compare the stock recovery boot with the cwm boot deeply to find point whats not working really. But I must say, it would help very much If we find a dev with more experiance, because for sure I learn, but I will maybe see not the tree within the wood...

[Galaxy S III Mini General] poulopoulosa:
I would really offer to help with anything. But again I would push you once more to connect throught irc to the twrp team they are usually online. Passing on questions directly to them will help than anything. Too bad I know nothing about recoveries

No.. Definely no!!!!!!!!! I8190 has other chipset and settings! That will brick your phone! The recovery is just the starting point... We have now to investigate and maybe port a rom...

I just flashed it and it works like a charm. on GT-I8200N.

What did you do, where did you find it?!

We must create a post and sticky this for users who are looking for a custom recovery / root.

i can't believe that we have an custom recovery. Thanks!

Did you made it ?

[Galaxy S III Mini General] greeneyes2910:
Someone should talk to one of the Mod-Team, to open an extra section, special for I8200/N/L/Q Development.

Over Weekend I will make new recovery, because there is a bug, which I could not find, yesterday. Seems that more Samsung Devices have this Bug too..

And perhaps we should start a petition to Samsung, because it seems, that they would not update to any Version. And that´s not fairly, for a device which reach the market in 2014 ( and this already with an old OS).
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
Finally! How to flash it? And what to do in case or goes wrong?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] greeneyes2910:
It should be no problem to port Kitkat Rom from US Mini to i8200x. or even compile one from source. The hardest part even would be the Kernel. And sadly I am not confirm in Kernel Development. So if someone has experiences in Kernel Development, there should be some nice custom roms, in next time.

Devs could pm me.

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

You should read from first post,instead of asking same questions, all the time.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I'll ask the mods to open a new dev-group.

I'expect the porting in the past also not so difficult, but the recovery-trys was not in that way I expected. I guess my knowledge was to low. Nevertheless, I've parallel started to go on Kernel-work, which seems to go better then the recovery part :P Maybe I'll go at first to switch it to linaro toolchain... But for sure, its the same situation that I'm not an expert. So thanks a lot again [MENTION=2822370]greeneyes2910[/MENTION] for your offer!

[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Hi.

Sorry, bit I'm not sure what your issue is. Can you please write clear statements without the codification? What is meant with "flashee bick tlf" and "kies & rry again"???

So please state clear:

- What you did,

- which versions you use (Odin and recovery)

- What the phone did after the flash was done

Normally it will reair if you flash via Odin the Stock-recovery from the first thread-Entry
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
FIRST THREAD UPDATED

WELL DONE AND AGAIN !!! :victory: :highfive:

be careful how you flash anything

Open Odin v3.09

Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

Add the recovery file mda file to AP / PDA

Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes

[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I would prefer to get out the battery for 5minutes, and then directly try to go into the download mode. Other possibility is if you have a USB plugin for dowloadmode (did not know the exact name for it. Its a cheap small stick only for Samsung phones to get directly into download mode if the phone did not go in the right startway, or the hardware buttons break...)

[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:

You broke the warranty when rooting you're phone. But maybe you'll find some employee just nice enough to repair it all the same.
