Now I got to manage to install Philz Touch. But I can't reboot the phone. :(

The phone gets stuck in Bootlogo. If I remove the batteries i can enter Philz again.

I've tried to reinstall the stock rom (I8200NXXUAOC1_I8200NOXAAOC1_DBT.zip) . But got a message in Philz: installation aborted (or something similar).

I'm in big trouble now. It's my daughter's phone.

Please help, Gazorbeam :crying:

I think its this

But follow instruction on op

And dont forget to attach a logcat
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Le Dam:
Hi, (sorry for my bad english)

Follow exactly this way, step by step :

I think you musy erase all from the internal memory -> wipe"s"

Reload your stock ROM (Germany ?) : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44618/I8200NXXUAOC1_I8200NOXAAOC1_DBT/

With ODIN, flash this ROM but DON'T UNTICK "auto-reboot"

After flash, let full reboot the phone but don't launch setup. Just enter pincode if sim is in the phone or unlock it.

When unlock, you can see 2 partitions on your computer (PHONE + CARD).

Copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip" (I use this and I'm shure it work) .

Shut off the phone with little press power button -> shut off

Don't flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip now !!! You must first flash Recovery.

Now, boot on the phone with 3 button (

VOL-

/ center button / power).

Launch ODIN, UNTICK "AUTO-REBOOT" !!! , and flash Philz Recovery.

When done, let press power button until force shut off.

Boot on the phone with 3 button (

VOL+

/ center button / power).

(release button when you see Samsing logo)

In Philz menu

, choose install ZIP file and select "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip"

Confirm install in the second screen.

In Philz, find "shut off phone", or close phone, or close system, .... (sorry, I don't have phone at this moment) : -> shut off the phone, not reboot !

Right, you can now turn on the phone and begin normal setup (language, wifi, ...).

After that, you may find SuperSU and it work !

You can let automatic update (or manualy) and you can also update SuperSU from PlayStore.

That's all !

If don't work, just change that :

... bla bla bla

... bla bla bla

When unlock, you can see 2 partitions on your computer (PHONE + CARD).

Delete ALL from PHONE partition !!! (if all not possible, delete all accepted files)

And restart all this trhead ! You must be sure the phone partition was empty before all this operation.

...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
Don't worry, it's a simple bug of our Philz touch, so do this:

In the OP there is attached a .tar file: stock_recovery. Flash that from Odin and then it will reboot you on recovery stock. Now you by tapping reboot system now you'll rebooted to system

Flash this and you'll have a little pretty Samsung brick.

I think that you have to port this ROM without flash the boot.img, so isn't better port it from I8190?

[Galaxy S III Mini General] PaulRichter:
No one said to flash it

Quote from nancy3i8ht

Files :

GT-I8200 STOCK DEODEX DEODEX

S4 Mini (serrano3gxx)[phliz touch ported by serrano device ￼] and port rom yourself ￼

Add desktop to 2 folder, "base"-"port" .

Exctact by zip. A file is (system.ext4.tar.a) delete "tar.a" change to "rar" . Exctract all sys files.

And delete : apps,framework,media,fonts,and etc(.com files)

Copy to port folder all files and paste base. And you create file to "Meta-Inf,google,*updater-script*"

Write codes script. And zip again file and install ￼

-sorry for my bad english ￼

Nancy Stone

And if contains boot.img just delete it.

Maybe, could be useful to know what the i8190's developers have done for their model.

If it's only a different cpu, I can't believe that there are so deep difference between I8190 and I8200.

I'm talking about the location of boot.img, recovery.img, system partitions, etc...

Dear solarplexus, thanks a lot for the infos you have sent to me,

I'm not so able to manage the compiling under Android... So, I need time to learn it.

And, yes, it seems that is fundamental to compile under a 64bit system (emulated or not).

In any case, I'll inform you all about each my progress on I8200 recovery compiling.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
as far as I understand if you have a other CPU, then everything can be different, because the Kernel-size is different, ram could be handled different, bootloader is different and so on..... A short check under http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer shows that also the grafic-controller and the Phone-controller are other chips... So I highly fear that we have to find a basis of a other phone with the same chips where also a custom basis exist....

One point I fear is, that the raw Kernel extraction which is used is maybe not right. The Recovery.img (or boot.img) is a image witch is pasted directly the kerneldata and the start-filesystem. I fear the extract of the kernel is not sufficient, and a rest of the old file system is still there. That's the only point I expect, why the old Recovery can start with the new compiled versions...

[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
So after starting a complete new environment, here is the next try. You can test it if you want.

Tomorrow I can maybe use my own phone, and then we will get maybe a little bit faster..

good night,

[Galaxy S III Mini General] mamomia:
tested it and again it showed stock recovery... :(
[Galaxy S III Mini General] K_Orcheski:
and about the "L" version? some news?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Bad2hold:
Pushed the file manually(vers.7) and sideloaded it via ADB, unticket "auto reboot" in odin to avoid rebooting device and going back to stock recovery.

= Infinite bootloop, if i set the "boot to recovery" command via adb in every try.

Reflashing stock...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] dtrail1:
Hey guys, I just switched to this device because my OG RAZR is broken (Moto). I always wanted a new device which isn't very popular in dev scene, to get my hands on it. But I'll also keep development for RAZR Kernels.

The S3 mini VE needs whole another kernel because its changed hardware parts need their own drivers - and that's where the differences start. First we need kernel sources - and rom sources as well for other dev stuff, like rom devs, etc. Currently I got problems with my own computer, so I have to use my brother's one. SP: Could you lead me to your current dev stat on CWM? Github? (Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread..). I never developed recoveries, but it should be possible to understand it soon, also I could ask some other very skilled guys for some help and/or suggestions to bring something "custom" to this phone! :)

I just don't have that much time I used to when making the Kernels for RAZR - but I will give my best..
[Galaxy S III Mini General] xavier.miller:
Hi [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION],

There are I8200N sources at opensource.samsung.com. I've seen there are kernel sources, maybe it could help you ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Dear [MENTION=4287139]dtrail1[/MENTION],

a warm welcome ;)

As xavier.miller stated, there are sources at open.sources.com for the complete phone including the kernel sources. I'm not sure that they are really correct customized, because I see some courious settings in the mk files there, but I'm not an expert.

You can also get at samsung mobile the flashable firmwares (for german version: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/35799/I8200NXXUANI2_I8200NOXAANI2_DBT.zip ). From them you can extract the kernel.img (which I did for the CWM-trys).

To root the I8200N with the latest Firmware (I get a new OTA this weekend) I find that Konga-root works. And so for that, I was able to download the last_kmsg now, and find a lot of interesting settings (for example the CMD-Line, which seems to be not included in the Kernel.img).

Unfortunatly I did not made a Git for that, because I'm a real beginner, and did not want to put it there, bevore I did not know that it works...

I can provide you my latest BoardConfig.mk, where you see my settings (the CMDline is not updated to my newest informations, will come in the afternoon)

At the moment I have two questions, where you can maybe give an answer to them, due to your knowledge on kernel-stuff:

- why it is possible with a flashed new compiled recovery.img, that the stock-recovery starts... Thats fully unclear to me...

- did you know why the compile-environment of CM10.1 seems to be unstable? Sometimes the environment tolds me that there is nothing to to for Recovery.img, and also clear did not help there. I'm on Ubuntu 64bit, and used the xda-universe manual for porting CWM to a new (and unsuported) phone.

Also [MENTION=2845527]slaykristian[/MENTION] worked on compiling a CWM for our phone, so maybe he has also new informations?

BR,

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

Just two questions:

- the no command error is with the green lie on site Androbot?

- after that error, goes it directly to the stock recovery, or is it a kind of fast reboot to stock recovery?

[Galaxy S III Mini General] lujki1:
I think that this would only help you create a modified version of TouchWiz ROM, but not a real custom ROM :(

In order to do that there is a bunch of things needed to be done, and a really experienced dev. Especially on a Marvell device, where even if someone makes a ROM there would be way too many bugs for daily use. I don't say that they can't be fixed, but that would be very hard. And as Samsung abandoned this device, probably the best thing would be to make a very light, bloat-free ROM that would speed up the device a bit for daily use.

I keep this phone as a backup, and when compared to my Galaxy S6 or Tab 4, it really seems slow, so that's why I'm telling this.

Anyway I wish you all the best of luck :)

Rooted using Kingroot.apk with no problems (got it using bluetooth)

Seems to be a Panamanian (TPA) usb locked fw installed.

USB seems to be locked or something. Cannot be accesed from PC and message says usb malfuntioned and not recognmized.

"usb hidden menu" not working as phoneutils.apk seems not being installed on system.

* # 7284 # (USB I2C Mode Control)not working

even * # * # 197328640 # * # * (Service mode main menu) not working

Any lights are really appreciatted, so I cannot flash recovery or roms because of usb locked access.

Thanks in advance, and sorry about my uggly english...

weird...are u sure that the probem is from the phone and not the laptop, are u sure u unlocked ur phones lockscreen..... if possible, if u are willing to do anything to fix this, best solution might be factory resetting it. or u can try to flash a custom recovery throgh flashify and then flash supersu.zip.

Thanks for answering. Yes I tried all. My plan is

1-trying to flash custom recovery (on microSD) from stock recovery .

2- Backup original to preserve radio, imei, efs folder ,etc

3- from custom recovery flashing custom rom

I'll check your proposal about using flashify. I can't remember where I read something about about bootloops or softbrick using that tool.

Really I was expecting someone to point on modifying an script or flag on the carrier stock rom, because I suspect the solution is easier .

Thanks. I'll report my next steps soon. [emoji106]

u can try to boot into safe mode, not sure if it will help, u can do that by booting phone using power key and volume down, u can release the power key only when phone first boots.
