samsung sell usb jig? with that i can boot to donload mode?if there are the option that may dont work?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I would prefer to buy a usb-jig. It is really cheap. take a look at amazon. If that not work, then also Samsung can not do much I think.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
Normally Samsung did not sell it. But maybe the have it there and can flash the stock firmware in a shop (if they have experience)

anybody try to flsh something?maybe i do something stypid !!!

so no hard brick with the recovery yet. only soft and with many tries you can get ot download mode hahahaha.thanks god
[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
I have 1 day from when i installed the recovery. I had no problem till now. I can enter the download mode when i whant and in recovery as well.

Good job with the recovery!!!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
Great! So, did anybody tried successfully flashing a zip (installing)?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
we don't have what to flash,and we must wait for the next realese. greeneyes2910 said somethng about a bug.

and now that we have the recovery we must wait for a Kernel dev and a Custom Rom Dev.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
We could flash su rather than using vroot

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Tried to use zip and recovery in order to root. Same problem, it will only boot on recovery, need to reflash system using download mode. [MENTION=2822370]greeneyes2910[/MENTION] was this what you were talking about?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I would say: don't flash anything up to now, because it seems that it is not safe. I ll check this evening the package in terms of the mounts, and maybe [MENTION=2822370]greeneyes2910[/MENTION] can say something about the known bug...

I report this error in the morning

I do it too ponia pink screen, so I original flash as expected, the error is always on the TWRP reboot, and when it comes turns pink restart the TRWP. something happens, Remember to put your samsung model. mine is i8200L
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
i have the same problem but this pink was everywhere when i start my phone .it apears whn i boot to recovery when i boot to download mode when i charged my phone and then bootloop .after few hours it booted to download mode doesnt apear the pin logo and restore my phone
[Galaxy S III Mini General] RodsonBorja:
Good Luck

I repaired using the odin3.09, and stock firmware from sammovil, I achieved it in download mode you can? I could fix that. or else purchase usb jig, and repair it. since adaptandole that device, automatically passed to download the phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] greeneyes2910:
So seems to be bugless...

Here is another custom Recovery : philz_touch

:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] linklusitano:
no bugs?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] greeneyes2910:
Important: , only use the 3-button method to boot into recovery after odin-flash

thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini General] RodsonBorja:
help

Best explains the method, as not quite understand, because as explained is very complicated, someone that uses words better please. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
it's means,to acces the custom recovery you |MUST acces it with the vol up+home+power .

Never with apps that have the option "restart into recovery" or any other method.

JUST ACCES CUTOM RECOVERY WITH THE BUTTONS vol up+home+power .
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
So, does this one works correctly? Can we install a zip?

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

I'll give it a try of no one has tested it yet

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

And also, what should we do when an android app asks us to reboot into recovery with a custom zip to install? Or an update? Because if instead of tapping the button reboot into recovery we shutdown android and go into recovery manually there will be no zip
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I guess you need to go manually in recovery. The zipfile must be store also manually on sdcard. Nevertheless I did not understand this concept of bootloader. It sounds to me like a way of bootlocking, but then it must be anytime that way. Anyhow, I think to manipulate or change the boot loader is too dangerous this time. So we have to live at the moment with that manual three button method.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
[MENTION=5926550]vinz244[/MENTION] I don't know how to answer to that question.

Is seems thjat the newer s3 mini model have an recovery on their one.(i think i'm not sure) And when an app ask to "reboot in recovery" it enter in a confflict. and resul a bootloop That's why from some of you it apears that pink screen,and can't enter in download mode.

For the moment is enought to have a cutom recovery to install a custom rom..

I don't think yo need so mutch apps that will ask you for reboot in recovery. Because almost all custom roms out there are aleardy with all options that you need to customize,optimize the phone and looking from the develepers
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
Does a wrongly flashed bootloader prevent the phone to go into download mode?

Perhaps we could make an Xposed module that intercept the command "reboot into recovery" and that prevent it from being launched. It could also tell where of the zip if such.

It we use software to go into recovery it will result a bootloop. Is it just for this boot or is it forever blocked? We will still be able to access download mode I guess.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
It will be ""blocked""till you install the stock rom again.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] greeneyes2910:
Someone should talk to this guy : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/general/information-t210r-custom-recovery-t2884616/post55604401#post55604401 it seems he has found an solution...

[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
so i brick my phone because i restart it from power menu to boot to recovery .i use xposed and gravity box to succeed that hahaha.

so only with 3 buttons we can boot to the recovery

i add this detail to the firt post to avoid this problem again in the future

it is very difficult after from few hours i succeed it

only one app ask me to install a update from recovery and it is superuser but we can install it as a normal app

it exists someone who used the recoveries? i mean to do a format a wipe a flash everything working?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] r4ng0:
i used the buttons to access recovery after flash and it still started the factory/stock one instead of the twrp one :/

gonna see what happens with the new one, philz...

btw, did anyone try it, is it working?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] sageis14:
WORKS

well i have tried both of the recoveries and both work perfectly..thank you [MENTION=2822370]greeneyes2910[/MENTION] :D
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
It seems to me that if you don't boot directly into recovery after flashing it won't work
[Galaxy S III Mini General] linklusitano:
It worked prefect for me.

Now we just wait for a few roms.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] TepaC:
I am new here (i mean,i follow topic from the begining) so which recovery now work PhilzTouch? or earlier version ? :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] RodsonBorja:
Hello

¿alguien a podido instalar MaliveBooster™ desde TWRP? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
should try installing Su via recovery. If it works then we could give malivebooster a try I think

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Or any other ZIP.

And prefer philz to twrp
[Galaxy S III Mini General] RodsonBorja:
I already root my android, but not TWRP as bootloop recovery sets. Someone else proved install MaliveBooster? and someone install and philz recovery?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
Did you root it using recovery or vroot?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] RodsonBorja:
I root my android with vroot.

I root my android with vroot. my question is, ud install and use Philz and ZIP? to install MaliveBooster
[Galaxy S III Mini General] slaykristian:
I tried philz's recovery

... It works in a first moment. But when I selected "reboot phone" it started a loop of recovery sessions.

I solved by restoring the stock version.

I'm sure that SolarPlexus, now can find a way to configure a correct cwm. Maybe, after an analisys of boardconfig.mk you can find some important configurations in order to port into your recovery and make it right.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
no my friend .nothing yet
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mamomia:
ooo come on developers atleast do it for the fun of it coders r suppose to make lives better, it only need few bits changing in the kernal coz it has the same hardware as i8190 just the change of cpu...... a whole community of dev n not a single one is kind enough to give us some of their little time... faith in humanity is lost :(
[Galaxy S III Mini General] hazar1907:
please help us ! :crying:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
a little time to give to us a port cwm and a rom.stock is sucks
[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
If you don't know nothing about compile a rom, then don't talk.

We must stay in one place, and when support them and donate then they'll make a rom.

If they don't have this version of device,how can they test it?

i bet you would not make the risks to boot up a rom that is not tested,if your phone will Soft-Brick you'll cry that you broke your daily phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] djdevin:
fyi G730A has bootloader locked, nothing will happen until it is broken

G730A also has KitKat 4.4.2 which is currently un-rootable

[Galaxy S III Mini General] mamomia:
ur rite but some of us dnt have the luxury of being able to donate..... if i would hav, then i probably wouldn hav bought this phone in the first place...

n recovring this phone from soft brick is not a big deal its the hard brick that givs u tough time...

im willing to test alpha rom on my device if a dev is willing to port something on it...

stock rom on this thing is the worst rom ever in a android device... it litraly hav the battry time of 4 5 hrs.

please any dev, can u giv a **** about this device
[Galaxy S III Mini General] hazar1907:
I volunteered to try alpha and beta versions could be
[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
It's not about luxury.

1$ is not that much. If we put from hand to hand it will be enought.

I don't know what to tell you more.

you're right. I'm going to donate. I hope everyone is doing it.

How many will make a donation

ya true i never said its a bad idea...

dnt know if there r enough ppl to make a diffrnce well sure wat the hel.. but to whom?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Vierkantdel:
I wanted to ask the same question too here. To WHO do you want to donate after all?

Look for a guy that knows what he's doing to port a ROM and recovery and I see what I can do here to donate, considering I'm just 15 years old and I don't have my own Paypal account.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
we'll talk to a developer from cyanogenMod. And say to him that we'll donate for a cutom rom for our model.

i extract the zip i go to system>etc.inid.d and i find a file 01malive

in the phone i go to system etc inid.d but no a file with the name 01malive.

so should not have existed?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] nalas:
It looks like no correct install.

Maybe Mount System and Data wasn't selected before instalation or recovery problem.

i will try again later

[Galaxy S III Mini General] RodsonBorja:

[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
2. Copy 'MaliveBooster' to your phone SD card

3. Reboot your phone to recovery mode

4. Mount /system

5. Flash MaliveBooster

6. Reboot your phone when finished installation

7. Done
[Galaxy S III Mini General] RodsonBorja:
I already did, but how do I know if it is working? build.drop is the same as you
[Galaxy S III Mini General] nalas:
Maybe try to instal busybox if you not have it yet and delete any scripts before the install.

I think the kernel in our I8200/N can't give us to meny changes.

The kernel should be modified.

I have installed Xpossed and the mods can change the kernel - and I don't see to much changes for good.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
I'm trying it tomorrow :) keep in touch!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] RodsonBorja:

I run my malivebooster v3 me. speed up my I8200L. reduce lag is not much, but if the difference is noticeable. if in doubt ask

Philz wont work on GT-i8200n

I flashed trough the odin first TWRP and works good, i reboot the phone into the recovery (holding menu,volume+,and power key), and i get in the recovery.

Philz work perfect.reboot option work well too.i have i8200n and ot booted yo recovery well

Twrp has bug dont install yet until found the reason.

Rom not yet...any news . Someone start to porting? [MENTION=3470903]SolarPlexus[/MENTION] what about kernel?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SolarPlexus:
I know, your Handy's are horny ;)

At the moment not much time, will go ahead at the weekend

So you say you can reboot the Philz without the three button method?

send with my Oneplus One (bacon) SlimKat Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TepaC:
Everything is fine!

I succeded to flash Philz touch (the problem was in my computer). Philz touch is forking good i install malive booster and check it. I have malive file in etc/init.d so thats it! It works! :D But there is a bootloop when you try with command reboot recovery it stucks and then you must flash old Stock recovery and again flash Philz. So point is dont use reboot recovey option, just use power off (i didnt check for download mode :p) thats the safest way to reboot (shutdown and press power button thats all ). Waiting for custom rom, GJ all !
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
It's strange that it works without busy box since the script seems to use it
[Galaxy S III Mini General] slaykristian:
Yes, bootloop.

I solved by the installation of stock recovery.

If you do "reboot recovery" or "reboot in download mode" it start a bootloop of philz recovery.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KwstPap:
Malive booster want busy box.

I unistall it .I install busybox and I gladhed again.now I have all files in the system direcory.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] RodsonBorja:
I install busibox, no problem. My Phone is acelerated for malivebooster

What files should I see that are installed using busybox?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] skemchris:
What cwm recovery did you download?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] greeneyes2910:
So a third root Option without need for PC
[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
Yeah and that's great since you will be spared that King root
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TepaC:
Can we flash anything else except Malive, like adrenalin script or something?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] nalas:
If Malive works and it made for i8190 meybe others work too?! (from i8190)

[Galaxy S III Mini General] vinz244:
What is it?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TepaC:
Idea

Guys i just had an idea. Can we download some universal stock ROM in zip file? If we can we should try to modify and make a "Custom rom". I mean we dont have anything yet so worth to try, right? I found the download for my gt-i8200n, but something is confusing. What is the prefix ORX? And after we download the right stock we should have some new info about kernel and that could be a help for other ROM's in future, or am i wrong?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] VallNAr:
