In Stock Recovery normaly the ADB did not work. Only if you use the sideload option in the Stock recovery. I've just only activated in the modified Stock recovery the ADB-Connection, so if it boots to recovery, then it should be possible to connect via adb to the phone. By the way: The Works.txt file will only stored in tmp-folder in the Recovery, not if you boot to normal.

So under the line, it seems to be, that there is something which I did not understand. If I just only unpack the Recovery.img, change two small things, and repack it, I see no point why that did not work.. I fear we have to wait for [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION], because he has more knowledge, and can explain whats happend there (and for sure he must not prick in the dark, because he surely/hopefully knows what must be done...)
[MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION] : don't hurry, take your time ;)

For me, I'll investigate further, but at the moment not with much hope...

I try two new versions of modified Stock-Recoverys (only activate adb)... So please do it as known:

can be found as usual under the link:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9aayjzv0l...Ka?n=125876549

Please report if they can be start, or what happened. If can be start, please try to connect a adb shell. if that works, then we are a big step on the right way...

ok on stock_adb_10000000 file... when started the recovery phone goes into stock recovery. and r u saying that connect phone to adb shell in stock recovery ??

if yes then i did that . ill attach the screen shot. 2nd time i chekd after selecting apply update from ADB option.

if no. then???

and on stock_adb_10008000 file... when started the recovery nothing just blink and restart phone normally.

here is the next try:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9aayjzv0l...jEBueW4uJ7o0Ka

hopefully this will boot and you will see a CWM then.

Please keep in mind the following things:

- use odin >3.09

- deselect the automatic reboot after flashing in Odin. Do the restart manually direct in recovery

- if there are messages or other things please try to report it.

- if it works, please go to someone in the near, and say: Yes, we can!, then go to the kitchen, get a beer, come back to the PC or phone, and write: The beer smels great :P

We will see, and I hope the best

Guys recently broke my phone screen so I'm going to buy a new phone. I will take either a 2nd gen Moto G or a real S3 Mini this time. So bye everyone and wish you good luck. Hope you'll get CM sometime. Thanks for being an awesome community. A small community, but awesome

BTW I can sell my i8200 which still works perfectly (apart from the bottom of the screen which is broken) for super cheap price to a dev who wants to make a rom but does not have it :)

[Galaxy S III Mini General] CVAngelo:
Google is your friend. Do a search and find the detail specs for each phone. Frankly, if you're gonna buy the GT-I8200 why not use it as it is if you even think it practically is the same phone. And take your bricked phone to a technician if you don't think you can fix it yourself...or sell it to a techie for parts.

Let's focus on the source of the problem. All along, he's been saying that the volume keys are being "frozen" immediately after the warning screen comes up. So he cannot actually go into download mode to use ODIN. I was trying to solve that problem with a JIG because a JIG completely bypasses the warning screen and puts you directly into download mode. So in my opinion, the JIG is the obvious solution.

But it's the first time I'm hearing this kind of problem and I too would like to know how to solve it, besides the JIG.

So the real question is, what on earth could be causing the volume keys to no longer function after the download warning screen comes up??? Any thoughts on that? I'm sure we can learn something here if we noodle on this.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mhwse:
yes

I have both several i8190 and i8200 .. the display ports and the others are compatible (I already replaced the 8200 by the 8190 cpu .. but we use both systems now 8190 with 5.1 and 8200 (with rooted deodexed stock + xposed .. so it looks up to date .. + removed all bloating stuff ..) since I got enough phones ..); so still hoping to find a solution for the 8200 .. as it is still usable.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Nancy3i8ht:
What ? :D how to replace cpu ?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] lesionaldo:
At the moment I do not know if I can get a jig, buying one or creating one, so I'll leave that as a last alternative.

First I need to know if I can set up a rom stock by stock recovery.

From the Home screen it is written "Applied the CSC-code: ZVV". That means I'll have to download a firmware with the ZVV region to work, or I can download a ZTO, for example?

I downloaded a "ZVV-I8200LUBUANI1-20141128121225.zip" what appeared to be the latest available, but the recovery complains about lack of signature.

This makes the jig be the only option available?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] CVAngelo:
Where did you download the zipped stock ROM from? From sammobile? The stock zips on sammobile are supposed to be unzipped and flashed via ODIN in download mode, not flashed from the zip drive.

If you look inside the zip and there is a tar file or tar.md5 file there, that's how you'll know it's for ODIN (when unzipped). However, if there is a META-INF folder in there, then that's flashable as a zip from the SD via custom recovery (or stock recovery if it is properly signed).
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
Good News

Compiling kernel went fine, also I build a boot.img :D Now i don't know if it's safe to flash, but since it's only build from sources without adds I think it hasn't problem

Greets
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Lord_of_Death:
No clue lol. Cz if something in system files changed why would it be related to the home button being disabled in download mode, its unreasonable for such a conflict to be triggered in such a way.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Nice ???
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
Sad news. Kernel doesn't boot at all, BUT adb is enabled and all the commands works, so i could take a logcat. I think there is something related to libraries that cannot boot properly the system. I'm thinking that i can take them from /lib and then see. Obviusly recovery and odin mode works, but something prevents kernel to boot in the system. Log (very very very long log) attached. If someone could help me I appreciate.

Greets
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Will have a look tomorrow... Did you use the ramdisk from normal boot.IMG or build a new one?

send with my Oneplus One (bacon) SlimKat Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
Stock ramdisk, but I've changed ro.adb.secure=0 to ro.adb.secure=1. In this way probably i could read log during boot

Greets
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
You did not set debuggable to =1? The adb.secure is from my point of view only for the root access. But I must also exchange that adbdeamon to chainfires insecure adb to get the full access..

Nevertheless in the log can be seen that really a lot of errors appear. On my trys more or less the same things happens with other bases. I fear that something in the provided config is not right set, but have no glue what it could be. Did you compiled and included also the modules of the kernel in the ramdisk? And also you can try to get the proc/kmsg and proc/last_kmsg to see what the kernel really did...

send with my Oneplus One (bacon) SlimKat Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
I've only insecured adb, i have to insecure all the parameters?

In the log mentions many times gralloc and 2d/3d compiler, so could be related to graphics

I've compiled modules, but I've used everything from stock ramdisk, principally to avoid problem with modules

I tried to take that before taking the log, but error said me 'no such file or directory' it's weird that sometimes log doesn't generate nothing, but after reboot send many error and at the end kill himself. If you want I can upload the .zip and you can try

I'm very happy that you can boot kernel compiled from source, this means a lot

So only 4.8 can compile without errors or you applied some patch?

Happy 2016 from Gabrius
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I've exchanged the memset.s file under arch/arc/lib from a actual kernel source. And I used the uber-toolchain 4.8... The rest was slightly source modifieings...

I have to made a.lot of cleanups before update my github, and I have to think about to switch completely to a standard kernel source, because we need selinux... ATM I try to generate a 4.2.2 slim ROM as a starting point for further dev ... We will see ;)

No, selinux must be implemented, and is on the to do.

Up to now:

- Kernel is stock variant from source and a proof of concept, NO optimizations...

- Customroms is still in progress for slimrom from my side but up to now I'm still in blob analysis, and generally stuff, not bootable up to now...

Please please please don't ask every day for the status. We know that everybody with a i8200 is very horny for a custom rom.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I think yes, but you have to take care about the country version, because the stock ROMs include also the modem partition, which can cause problems in your phone cell usage...

[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Not sure that I understand you right. But when you flash stock, then kernel and governors will be also reset. So I think it could.be a hardware problem. Maybe your battery is defect? Pull it out for a minute, and then retry what happens...

send with my Oneplus One (bacon) SlimSaberLP Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Mini General] gershy353:
I get same effect the fone can not function off charger i dont know but should not all settings revert when you flash stock
[Galaxy S III Mini General] CVAngelo:
Dude, it sure sounds like your battery has fully discharged and your charger is not charging it for some reason. How much percentage of battery does your phone indicate it has when the phone is on charge? And is the percentage increasing?

The likely problem is that the USB connector and/or the charging management module inside your phone is damaged, so your battery has not been receiving a sufficient charge from the charger. During the time you were able to use the phone off-charger, the battery had some charge so the phone worked...but it eventually depleted to zero or near zero and is no longer being charged. So the phone does not work off charger, only on charger.

One way to test this is to charge your battery outside the phone (charge it in another equivalent phone, get the fully charged battery from a working equivalent phone or use a universal charger to charge your battery). If your phone works with a battery that is confirmed to be charged, then you will have confirmed that your charging module is damaged and you will need to replace it.

Another possibility, but less likely, is that the charger itself is damaged. It provides sufficient energy to run the phone, but insufficient to run the phone and charge the battery at the same time. You can check how much energy the charger is producing using the app called Ampere from the Play Store. Use a different charger and see if that charges the battery.

CM

[MENTION=3470903]SolarPlexus[/MENTION], I'm so curious how the build works.

Can you tell me please? I just want to know if you built a ZIP file of the ROM and if you did, if it boots (not to home screen, if it shows the bootanim).
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
For the Kernel: use mit git-kernel with branch masterreset. Then produce a Ramdisc and a boot.img. To describe every step is not really easy. This will follow later, if I really have cleared my scripts, and everything in place that it can be used also in a standard Rom-Build-Process.

Rom no further steps... ATM there are to many things to do, and I have not muich time, so I have to focus and did not start more then one thing. But up to now (as fahr as I can see) we are now two Noob-Devs wich will work together ;)

Maybe tomorrow I will provide a new Kernel-Version wich runs better.. We will see..
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Lego_Infinity:
I would like to help you. I can install Ubuntu 14.04 right now, but I need some documentations where I can learn things about that. Can you help me with that? I'm not noob.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Don't get me wrong, I'm very pleased for every help! But the problem is: I've learned it also the hard way.. Reading a lot of documents, and learn C directly. Then, after my first trys did not work, I go to compile other Roms for my other phones with existing sources, to learn how it works. And now this knowledge comes to that wat I can use and produce. But this is at all not perfect enough to are a teacher :( And ich I write HowTos wiil get from the time I can use to work on the kernel... I'm also still at the begining... So if you say you are not a noob, I must ask what are your knowledge, that I know at wich point I have to start...

Did you produce kernels before for other Phones? Did you made roms? Did you know the toolchain stuff and what all the parameters meant in the Make and config files? I do not know really all of it, and I'm still learning ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Lego_Infinity:
I don't know too much on Android development. I know C++, Pascal and PHP (not needed here).

Hi Guys. Something to test:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vmsmeh01lsy784v/kernel_i8200-Baroni_2016-01-08-22-01.7z?dl=0

New version. optimized Ubertoolchain4.9 for Cortex-a9, and some logging stuff deselected. Unfortunatly I have to checke a lot of debugging-Settings, wich I will turn off, what is not so easy. This will bring some additional speed in future, but not yet. This actual version should be a little bit faster and smother. First start can be a little bit slower. Flash it with odin, and report what you see.

Attention: its alpha, so no guarantee ;)
