Samsung did not provide SE-Linux-Kernel for our device, and philz did not really take care of non se-Linux settings...

by the way: I'll restart my work on kernel an Custom-roms soon, because my wife has now a new phone, and I can now do what I whant with her I8200... So lets see what will be possible. But don't expect to much ;)

---------- Post added at 14:36 ---------- Previous post was at 14:32 ----------

I did not follow all post, so just a comment: Did you mount the system-partition before flashing? Maybe there is a struggle in the installer script, which did not correct mount the partition...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josehbermudez:
Tried mounted and not mounted flashing. Same results
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
OK, I guess my first attempt will be to get a Kernel working, with better adb-log access... because otherwise it will very difficult to analyse this stuff...

But atm to get e clear picture:

Your problem is that you are not able to get a usb-connection if the rom is started, and you was not able to flash a custom rom, but you can flash something via odin?

Are you able to get a usb connection in recovery?

Are you able to connect in the Rom-modus via ADB (develope-options, allow adb before)?

Can you install "Andy log" and provide a logcat and kmsg-log after trying to connect via usb?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] angomania:
That sounds good :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josehbermudez:
I cannot access usb port no matter what is done, normal mode, safe mode, dowload mode and recovery mode.

In normal mode simply device is not recognized by pc. I have to say that USB samsung drivers are updated as I have been working with Odin and Kies with other devices.

As cannot access usb in this 8200L cannot connect to Odin.

ADB does not recognize the device.

Please see images and log attached.

Thanks in advance...

Regards,
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
But it charges the battery? This is really wired! Did you try other USB wires? And other USB ports? There are sometimes some constraints that a port is blocked, or a wire is not completely OK.

In the log I can see that the connection itself comes up, but it is not processed in a way I would expect. So if a other port or a other USB wire did not help then I fear that your phone hardware is damaged...

A other try could be that you flash a older version of the stock ROM, but as you said Odin also did not recognize the port this will normally not help...

[Galaxy S III Mini General] josehbermudez:
Yes, I tried all your suggestions first than begin posting in this thread (tested, many PCs, USB cables, etc). I must recognized usb cables aren't samsung original, but Blackberry, LG, Motorola cables didn't work too.

Yes, the phone charges with no problem.

I can bet hardware it's ok, that's why I need desperately to flash ANY different rom (from custom recovery or whatever without using usb ) to prove it. For me, it isn't innocent that kies-air (wifi) and dropbox were installed in stock rom as system apps, because are serious apps for normal users that are available simply in playstore. It forces people to use big data plan in South America (expensive).

Rare thing is why phoneutils.apk was not installed in stock rom? why cannot access NONE USB hidden menus from phone keyboard? that's why I suspect phone it's usb locked someway....
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
How old is your phone? Are there still grantee? It is absolutely unlogical to block USB also in download mode, because this is the last possible way to repair a phone if it is bricked also for a shop ! So I expect really that the USB dependent chipset is defect, or maybe a cold electrical bridge. So I think it would be a good idea to bring the phone to the shop and say that your USB is defect.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] josehbermudez:
It's out guarantee time ago, that's the point.

I wonder if this exists http://phoneky.com/android/?p=download&st=3&id=d1d11665

locking USB can be real? if so, must be a solution
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Nancy3i8ht:
Do you have a pxa988-usb folder ?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Lego_Infinity:
Try reinstalling the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] angomania:
Did you try on another pc?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I think he said that ;)

[MENTION=5252269]josehbermudez[/MENTION]: Another question: are you able to use Odin mobile? With that you can try to install a other (older) version of I8200L from Sammobile. Chose there a version which is Kies-marked, because they have all partitions included (also bootloader). This is the only way which I expect that can maybe help you. If this did not help then you have to open the phone, and check if there is a damage on the usb-port, or at the platina.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josehbermudez:
I did that. 8200L is not supported. Apk gives that message when installed. This project has no development since a year or more.That's why I mentioned one of my hopes was flashfire(chainfire' s) when stage Alpha is available. It's Odin mobile evolution. Meanwhile I still looking another way

Done so much times. 12 at least. No success. Will try much more [emoji16]
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
So ok. Maybe I can provide at the late weekend something for you, but before I must say that this is very dangerous!! I can try to put a Oding-Flash-package to a recovery-flash file. Because I expect, if really not the hardware is defect on your phone, then the only thing what could append is that one of the internal Modem-partitions is corrupt. So I will try to put the system-internal images into a recovery-file. But to repeat it clearly: It is very dangerous!! The problem is, that there was never a test of the recovery's (Philz or TWRP) that the partition-details are correct for those parts, and that those will not influence the rest of the phone. So this is truly an easy way to full-brick your phone if something goes wrong!!

So If you are really what to try something like that, then give me a PM, where we can discuss that further, and how to proceed.

Before you can just test one thing which came in my mind while writing the post: Put out the battery for not less than 10 minutes. Then put it in, and start direct to download-mode. Check now if odin recognize the phone (its just the idea that the phone remember some settings in the battery-stabilized-ram. This way will take care that the phone starts as plain as possible). If you get access, flash a Kies-Signed i8200l firmware from sammobile. If not then you have to decide if you really want to try the dangerous way I described before ;)

[Galaxy S III Mini General] Lord_of_Death:
everything is becoming risky, so maybe we should try everything on our s3mini before joseh cz if anything goes wrong we can flash through odin....
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Its a interesting part, but from my point of view not the point for Jose, because this settings only working in the ROM part. This is not used in that way in recovery or downloadmode. But anyway Jose can check if a similar thing is in his init scrips...

send with my Oneplus One (bacon) SlimKat Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Mini General] josehbermudez:
Yeah indeed, because phone isn't recognized even recovery nor download mode. Using usbdeview phone is recognized as unknown device on port x at normal mode.

As phone it's not mine but my boss phone, it's a difficult decision for me to take high risk without a chance of get back to current state of device [emoji16]
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
So then the only really right decision is: leave it as it is, because the work and risk you have to invest can not give the profit you hope to have ;) If your boss will buy a new phone, then the choice could be in a other way...

just to close this issue analisys...whats your oppinion of fireflash? have you checked that? I have installed succesfully not the case with odin mobile (8200L not supported).... as I see this could be the last chance or let it down because this "specimen" isn't mine...

[Galaxy S III Mini General] josehbermudez:
Nancy you used flashfire to backup or flashing stock firmware? Bugs maybe for high memory used?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Just read a little bit, but not tested. My personal opinion is, to write all partitions via flashfire is difficult, because you will write on partitions which are in use while writing (system, data, modem). I expect the high ram usage is because everything must be stored in the ram in front of flashing. I think the risk is more or less the same as if I will made a recovery zip for you, because the partition details must be safe, and I'm not sure that chainfire has take that into account, but maybe I'm wrong...

This error is typical if the recovery is not able to handle selinux, what is logical because the kernel is not able to it atm.

Hey, I want to start to do something for this device. I'm pretty noob at this, however I downloaded sources for I8200 from Samsung and then (reading many many guides :rolleyes:) I tried to recompile kernel from source with linaro toolchain 4.8

I'm stuck currently executing "make maker.defconfig" and I think i wrong something

gabrius99@Gabrius99:~/android/kernel/goldenvess3g_4.2.2/Kernel$ make maker.defconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
make[1]: *** Nessuna regola per generare l'obiettivo "maker.defconfig". Arresto.
Makefile:498: set di istruzioni per l'obiettivo "maker.defconfig" non riuscito
make: *** [maker.defconfig] Errore 2

Do you think it's an error in defconfig file or in toolchains that i'm using?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
The linaro 4.8 should work I think. But I did not understand Italian ;) crazy that the compiler can work in every languages ;)

send with my Oneplus One (bacon) SlimKat Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
Lol, a wall for developers from different language :D

Hello

I am very tense, because I decided to let the cell of my mother faster _, starting to put a faster launcher and changing the system keyboard, but then I thought of root just to put an adblock, for this I had to use some applications on the computer, in Chinese (yes, I was quite concerned)

Finally, now I have more than 2GB roms and the like, trying to boot the system, because then I gave the first boot in TWRP, the phone does not know to return to the android. I can not bring any file into the cell except through adb sideload, and beyond that I can not use the download mode, as the volume keys are switched off immediately after it shows the warning.

I really can not tell if the phone has no hope of revival of one that had hardbricked :(

thanks for listening
[Galaxy S III Mini General] jorjee:
Is this modified stock Rom or something else?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] lesionaldo:
before the rom was stock, after a moment I tried to put other versions as much stock as customized a deodexed worked at sideload but do not know if this is really working because the TWRP complains that do not have OS installed.

I have some things I want to do, such as erasing data but get an error on the screen image and recovery restarts.

I'm really anxious, I think it is the end of it. but it's not a very big problem, as I am ready to cellular exchange, but would be happy to know I could do it revive, with a cleaner than the stock rom, I hope.

thanks for listening, man

If you have a Linux PC use QtADB for Windows Android Commander works well - you can uninstall apps from them. Both should be run as root (administrator). adb reboot download will get you there without the need to use volume button.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
To boot in recovery, you did adb reboot recovery, or a software command?

Greets from Gabrius
[Galaxy S III Mini General] CVAngelo:
By the way...just a suggestion not just for you but for everyone on the thread, but you don't need to quote the ENTIRE post when you reply. Just the relevant part(s) especially when the post is extraordinarily long. Lol.

Or hide the long portions under those little "SPOILER" buttons...I still have not figured out how to get the spoiler button using the XDA app.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] lesionaldo:
where I read, they said that to enter the bootloader should be pressured volume +, power down and home, but to enter the recovery should do this combo and release the power when appeared the logo image so I did so, but now it does not enters more in bootloader or in the system. it vibrates, appears the logo of the device and immediately after the logo TWRP, before entering the recovery.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

I managed to download this QtADB for windows, but it seems the windows itself does not recognize the phone, I can only make contact with him by adb sideload at the prompt, with other variables it prints in recovery "error: closed". Can you tell me,*there is no more to do for him right?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] CVAngelo:
If your phone can boot there is always hope. You can open "most" recent Samsung phones directly in download mode with a JIG for Samsung phones. You can buy a Jig online or you can easily have one made. Or borrow one from a techie in your area. There are usually unofficial techies in little mom & pop shops who will have a Jig lying around. I live in Africa and even here there are dozens of techies (not that I'd trust them with my own phone).

You don't need to use any keys with a JIG. You just turn the phone off, plug the JIG into the USB port and...Bam!...you're in download mode.

Use Google to find a Samsung Jig or to figure out how to easily make one. I bought two for myself and I use them all the time...I never need to mess around with key combinations anymore.

Don't forget to click the Thanks button if I've helped you in any way.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
Flash fix attached, then reboot phone twice. Probably you did a reboot recovery from a software command. Let me know if it works ;)

There was a long log in "Spoiler tag". I only quoted SolarPlexus small post. I know that quote big post is a bit stupid and useless ;)

[Galaxy S III Mini General] lesionaldo:
OK. this worked, I'm the original recovery.I do not know if I'm really with no operating system, because it seems as it turns on and stays on the splash logo forever, so I must turn it off and turn it on by pressing the combo to get into recovery.

my idea at that time is still having a rom _ (from here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/rom-deodex-rom-goldenvess-3gxx-t2990545)

for this I:

1. I'll need to set up a rom stock by stock recovery

2. return to the android, to be able to restart from there directly to the download mode _ with the functions of adb

3. install philz touch, install the rom deodex rom, the flasheable adblock zip, gapps (is this necessary?)

4. reinstall this stock recovery that you sent me

you think my idea will work to make it revive deodexado and rooteado? I need to keep a custom recovery for the system continue working?

if all this way works, where can I get the stock rom ?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
Don't do many useless step:

From odin flash philz touch

Enter on recovery with the usual combo

Flash a ROM (there are some stock ROM in the first post) gapps are useless. They are included in the system

Reboot in the system

If you have again that bug, simply flash my fix

but to use the odin, I'll need to be in download mode mode, where it will only be possible to enter from the android, which I will initiate the download mode adb reboot there, without having to use the volume up key and the warning screen

For boot into stock recovery you have to root your phone and enter this codes in terminal emulator:

su
reboot recovery
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Here are two versions,

the test 9 is a new try, we will see.

The other is just a repack of the stock with two small modifications. The adb deamon should be activated, and a file should be generated in the tmp dir with the name "works.txt". So if you can connect to the phone vie adb with that then I know that the pack-process should be right... (and we can be done something via adb ;) ).

Please be sure you have the I8200N, and not a other variant.

Also be sure that you flash without automatical reboot. switch the phone off after flash, and start directly to recovery, because there are phones which restore the old recovery if you restart the phone to normal start sequence...

now with a link, because here is a uploadquota with 8mb, which I now exceed a little bit ;)

Some minor differences in technical specs. The N has for example NFC included. Its just to be sure at the beginning, because I try to use I8200n kernel. Maybe it will also work on the others, but this will be checked later...

Usually in linux-based systems, if you enable or compile a driver in a kernel for a feature or a device and than you don't use this device, there aren't problems.

But if you don't compile or enable the driver, obviously, the device will don't works.

IMHO I think that the kernel for i8200n works whitout problems on i8200, but a kernel compiled for i8200 will works on i8200n except for the NFC device (only if you didn't compile it before).
