[MENTION=3470903]SolarPlexus[/MENTION] what about kernel?can we help you to something?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Not at the Moment. I'll provide tomorrow a new version oft twrp with ADB possible. For that i need a tester which has the problems with data recovery, and I hope [MENTION=5926550]vinz244[/MENTION] will be able to do it.

I fear that the selinux which is not included in the kernel make problems in the recovery. But to be clear at that point we need a log during that process... After the recovery is more stable I can get back on kernel work...

I installed GT-I8190_PhilZ-Touch-Recovery_6.55.0.tar.md5 and Aroma FM on sd card, but when I open Aroma FM I cannot find any file related to pattern lock. Could You help please ? Phone is not rooted and usb debugging is probably OFF.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
You installed i8190 recovery on a i8200 smartphone??? That's possibly not possible, because the kernel is different... If you have questions to a i8190 phone, then you are wrong in this thread...

send with my Oneplus One (bacon) SlimKat Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Mini General] wojgp:
Sorry, of course I should not have written it. I took another s3 mini - i8190 to make some tests to bypass pattern lock and it worked with TWRP 2.8.1.0 when on Philz Touch 6.55 /data/system was not accessible.

I used this solution

- in twrp, use file explorer and navigate to /data/system and delete password.key and/or gesture.key

- reboot.

Data is untouched.

Tomorrow I will try on i8200 with important data and will let You know. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini General] themountig:
Surely you can access those files using any root explorer, I use Xplore, and delete them without any recovery?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] wojgp:
I have i8200 with pattern lock. No root, usb debugging is off, wifi off etc, so the only way not to lose data is use alternative recovery. Am I wrong ? :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
i have an idea about restore data.

take a backup from trwp recovery.when we have a problem and must restore the phone boot to dl mode.flash philz recovery.boot to the philz go advance backup and twrp backup and restore.so we can restore the trwp backup file via philz!!!

can it work ?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] wojgp:
It should work this way. Before I made any operations on TWRP I used Philz to make a full backup on SD Card. Then for sure I can go back to Philz and restore its backup.

I assume Philz is better for backup, right ? :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
for i8200 we dont know if trwp or philz is better hahahah i use both of them hahah
[Galaxy S III Mini General] wojgp:
Hi

I tried to upload 3 different recovery to GT-i8200, but always see original recovery in the phone. What could be wrong ?

On another phone it was 100% ok - not the same model, but i8190. Hehehe
[Galaxy S III Mini General] fumbl:
Try now to flash'm with Odin.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] wojgp:
Done!

When You flash i8200 with Odin do not select 'Auto Reboot'

After flashing press volume up+home+power to enter recovery immediately. Otherwise recovery will be overwritten by the stock one.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] fumbl:
Hi again,

not joking now. But after stock flashing with Odin and reflashing with TWR or Philz, dont matter which, I get a Bootloop with intermittend flashing

blue/Pink Screen or with Philz a plain Bootloop.

Using the 1,2,3 Method on booting of course.

Would it be OK to run a wipe cache Prior to flashing TWR??

Forget Philz.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
It is important to do it as described. Some recommendations:

Use Odin 3.09 only

Chose flashimage with button AP

Only go to the recovery with the three button method (not with reboot or a button which is provided in any programm)

Take care that no other kiesprogramm is running (kill them in taskmanager)

From my point of view twrp is more stable than the philz one, but this must be learned by time...

need a little help.

Hi,

First i would like to thanks everyone working on this phone. It's a great help for noobs like me :).

So, here's my question, how do i unroot it?.

I rooted the phone using vroot, but i but cannot install supersu ("installation failed !" error), so i kept the kinguser (the app that vroot installs), but some apps won't work fine with kinguser.

I want to unroot it to be able to root using kingoroot..

phone: GT-I8200 (plain)

[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:

[Galaxy S III Mini General] h4ck32z:
ok. Gracias...

thanks. i've been reading your thread since 2 weeks ago, i think it's the only forum on the web that supports the s3 mini VE.....

thnks.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Baloons:
Hope it helped

well if you are having trouble you should try this method ( it installs Supersu).... well first of all you have to have an already rooted device(i see have been rooted using Vroot) then

~ what i did was install the Philz recovery ( Make sure you use Odin to install..... and also make sure that it works perfectly after flashing it )

~ then boot into normal phone and copy across this file from PC ..( donwload this this file from the Supersu thread... it has to be in the .zip format and version 2.40)....(copy it across to a folder where you can find it in the Philz recovery)

~ Then boot into the Philz recovery...then go into the Install Zip option then into Choose zip from Sdcard option then find the folder you put it in and enter into it then install it.

~ After installation boot back to normal phone and download the Supersu app and update binary

~ Then download the Link2sd app and uninstall the Kinguser app.

That should do it, hope it helped if any problems come up please feel free to ask

Hello everybody, I just got the L version. After one day going crazy trying to flash the 8190 recovery and bouncing like an idiot I have discovered this post. First thing, I added myself to the list of the people that are requesting a proper space on XDA.... Now I am rooted with RomasterSu (confirmed by Root Checker) and have installed the last version of TWRP, so far so good ;). This is not my daily drive, so I am keen on helping and testing. The only thing is that now I am on holiday in a small village in Peru and my internet connection allows me small downloads but I wouldn't be able to download the modified ROM nor the full firmware if I brick the phone...

[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
I dont believe it.rom manager doesnt work to our s3 mini.when I buy it I try to install and I have a soft brick.we havent any sable recovery yet . lollipop official release doesnt exist and no costum too.only novafusion team have ported to s3 mini and not to i8200.so I believe it is fake

DINT TRY IT.SOFT BRICK is sure
[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
It's fake. Don't bother on custom roms you can change the model number how you wanna. if you don't belive me look how is writen S3 mini its "Samsung I8200 Galaxy S Iii Mini" On my htc desire i can do the same thing.

And some bad official news. F**k samsung they don't care about customers.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...ini-wont-be-updated-to-Android-KitKat_id55940
[Galaxy S III Mini General] poulopoulosa:
"Of course, 1GB of RAM is more than enough to run KitKat, as this version of Google’s OS is optimized to work on devices that feature as low as 512MB of RAM. However, the S III and S III mini (both released back in 2012) have older variants of Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, which likely makes the KitKat experience not so great."

Of course they would blame the hardware rather than their, resource consuming bloatware such as touchwiz!!!

I believe that this phone can even run lolipop with a similar custom rom like cyanogen.

Samsung's software is really bad I have seen handfull of older, cheaper android devices (bloatware free) running faster than a samsung s4! Instead of spending more coding a proper launcher they spend their money to market phones which last a day!

[Galaxy S III Mini General] Coudy:
But, I8200 is new phone (3/2014), It is different from S3 mini.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
The recovery method is better: it doesn't take hours, it is safe and it doesn't install bloat such as king user
[Galaxy S III Mini General] h4ck32z:
i rooted mine in less than 1 minute. maybe your pc or your internet is very slow. kingo root doesn't install king user. king user is installed by Vroot.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] Darkrage2004:
Firstly thx for all the hard work.

Ive read the whole thread just to see the out come so far.

I had a problem with stock rom after an update (random screen presses - even when not touching screen). So I thought it would be a good idea to flash a new recovery and rom not realising it was an 8200 =(. I can get into download mode but have no recovery = 3 button doesnt work. Also I cant find my back up. So my question is this what should I do now?

Install philz or twrp then flash stock rom.

If yes have u got a link to a stock uk rom network free if possible.

Cheers steve
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
Go on sammobile and download stock ROM. Then flash it with Odin
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Darkrage2004:
Thank you vinz, will download stock and flash. Any idea why the stock Samsung update would cause ghost key presses. Only started after the update oh and after charging with the Samsung travel plug supplied with the phone.

Will report back on the re flash when I can get to parents again (snow).

Phone does also state I need to plug into kies and perform recovery (forgot to mention)

Question...

Hi guys... just wanted to know if it is possible to screen cast with this device....
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Vierkantdel:
I was curious about that too, and I just took a look.

I already knew that the GT-I8200 wouldn't support the Chromecast service out of the box, but it seems Google took care of that.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app

Just tested it on my phone to see if it's a driver application, which appears to be.

Also, how goes development on a custom ROM? I really hope to be able to get rid of this broken 4.2.2 stock ROM sooner or later.

today i flash the rom.is good but not for i88200n the settings for nfc are missing.i guess you have a i8200 .you can remove more bloatware and add malive booster(i dont know if you have because i dont check the init.d and build.prop.VERY WELL JOB

the rom is a backup of the original firmware with out bloatware and with root ..is a good job but no a custom rom or port like carbon etc so we can tweak it very much.

I use Xposed Framework and Gravitybox too for percentage battery icon.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] h4ck32z:
IMPORTANT

some issues:

unable to connect to pc via usb, so, no file transfer via usb.

the *# codes are not working from the dialer/numpad (*#06# *#1234# etc).

it saves a lot of storage and ram, but it is just too much stuff removed (some of them are actually use full, not just bloatware).

it hasn't got busybox and xposed installed, you will have to install it.

that's what i found about now (just flashed rom yesterday), will continue to use and report back any other issue/bug.

this is not a fix request, it is just a warning/information for those who want to flash it.

Hi to all followers of this great thread.

Just to give an update: I try to work on the kernel over x-mas in my free time, but I must say that the source of samsung which was provided on opensource.samsung.com is not really funny stuff... there are so many coding errors, which was not able for me to solve directly. So now I started to examine other kernel sources, and will try to port a more maintained source to the i8200. From My point of view this will be the only way to produce an more accurate kernel for our device, and get the possebility to include also selinux what is needed for a kitkat-rom...

Nevertheless, it is not easy to work on that stuff, because I'm not an expert on kernel work (but I learn every day more ;) , so if you know someone with more kernel experiences, it would be very helpful to invite him/her. To ask in forums (also in xda) is something what I do, but unfortunately the responding are not every time safe...

So I wish you all a happy new year, and lets work together to bring our device a little bit forward :D

[Galaxy S III Mini General] drumandbassfreak:
