[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kill_Switch422:
thx kookkid,

i already did do the param flash which passes, however then i still cant get into twrp, and i sit stuck on the samsung logo

if i then try flash the rom it fails again , and back to square 1

On the phone after failure i get in red text "movi_write card_status :0 (430) start_blk:1477552" (it overwrites the "current binary: custom" line that shows up in download mode

odin just shows this:

<ID:0/005> recovery.img

<ID:0/005> STE_boot1.img

<ID:0/005> STE_boot2.img

<ID:0/005> modem.bin

Try reflashing stock or if that fails then your eMMC chip is screwed! That happened to me so I called Amazon and they gave free replacement and never found out! Don't give it to Samsung! This is why I'm scared of rooting my S3 mini!

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kill_Switch422:
process followed was flash param, then flash stock. thats when it fails........................

ARRGGGGG

thx anyway

anyone else got a new thought or how to test
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKid98189:
Try flashing just the param and see what happens? Then try to flash the recovery then see what happens.

One more question, did you encrypt your device?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kill_Switch422:
I didnt encrypt no.

If I flash only param, it passes. I then get the samsung logo on boot, and nothing more.

If I flash param, then twrp they both pass, but I get the please connect to kies firmware error. booting with power home vol down has no effect...

If I flash param then twrp then stock. fail on system.img

If I just flash stock fail on system.img

used heimdall to only flask kernal with system.img completes but at end gets error:

Ending session...

ERROR: Failed to receive session end confirmation!

then back to kies firmware error

Possibly related... I have found that my battery is not charging at all ...... is this dependent on a running phone? (dont think it is a factor, since I am able to flash param and twrp and pit without a problem) but covering bases.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKid98189:
Try the stock recovery?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kill_Switch422:
when i do the stock recovery , it seems to flash ok, on reset, goes into connect kies error

odin gives pass:

<ID:0/003> Removed!!

<ID:0/003> Remain Port .... 0

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

recovery boot (vol up power and home, just shows same screen)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKid98189:
Try flashing a stock baseband kernel, the stock recovery, the stock firmware and then finally the param and tell me what happens.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kill_Switch422:
please confirm you mean the

boot.img -> baseband stock

recovery.img ->recovery stock

system.img ->firmware stock

then param

if so odin fails every time I try load the system.img

the rest load just fine.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ss4adib:
I didn't not have an OS. It's just that the number didn't show up in the boot loader. This number turned out to be the firmware number.

As I had a nandroid backup saved I used that to restore functionality to the phone and thankfully it was ARHD which able to be S-OFFed using Sunshine.

Have you tried unblocking the bootloader again?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
The missing OS version is caused by some versions of twrp 2.7.x.x recovery.

These versions have a bug that writes a bad instruction to the misc partition for bootloader messages, and inadvertently wipes your OS version number.

The only way to restore it is to flash firmware. ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunnyfly:
I have an OS version but when I flashed the ARHD ROM and rebooted it when it was shutting down it told me that the phone needed to have SuperSU installed and it asked if Imwanted to install which I said yes to but it didnt install anything instead it just rebooted and stayed in the boot screen for the longest so I turned it off and restarted it but nothing would happen same stuck in boot screen. Went into recovery re flashed the ROM and rebooted the phone when I did that it sais that there was no OS imstalled and asked if I was sure that I wanted to reboot the phone. So now I am stuvk at yhe bootloader, Relocked for some reason with S-On and I have no clue on what to do.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok I have read back through the thread and I see the problem here. You tried to flash ARHD right? It's not Sprint compatible. So you have probably messed up your partitions. You may have used a GSM compatible recovery also. I'm not sure why your getting signiture error with firmware it looks to be the right firmware. But this should at least allow you to install a custom Rom.

Try this, open the firmware.zip and extract the stock recovery.img

Unlock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery.

fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery".img
fastboot erase cache

you can use the drag and drop method with recovery too if you have problems.

Reboot bootloader and select recovery from the menu. The screen will go blank for a short time then display a picture of a phone with red exclamation this is the stock recovery.

Hold volume up and press power to reveal the stock recovery menu ignore the sd card mount errors it's normal in stock recovery. Select Factory reset. Wait for it to complete then reboot and get back to the bootloader

Now flash twrp custom recovery again download a Sprint compatible recovery here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls

Remember to erase cache then boot to twrp and select Wipe then Format Data. Then reboot recovery.

Now download a Sprint compatible Rom from here

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-htc-one/development

And push it to the device with adb. With the phone on the twrp home screen connect usb and in the terminal type

adb push "nameofrom".zip /sdcard

again you can drag and drop if needed.

The terminal will appear unresponsive until the push is complete. Once it's done install the Rom with twrp.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Unfortunately there is no guaranteed solution to gaining s-off except for sunshine app.

Older stock roms tend to be favorable with firewater though. Make a backup of your current Rom and Try with a guru reset Rom here http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_sprint_3-04-651-2-zip/

In aroma options choose no to stock recovery and Radio and yes to root.

Setup only the basics for the Rom and try firewater to s-off. In my experance it's better to use Mobile data connection but try with WiFi if it fails ;)

Hboot 1.57 is fine with firewater. If you get a message like. Whelp this sucks - firewater cannot work on your device then it just won't work. You can check this in advance https://play.google.com/store/apps/...bug+app&pcampaignid=APPU_ohwxVPOEKsL5PK7ugOgB

Download this app and run it. It will display some information about your emmc. Check the cid no. If it starts with 9001 firewater will probably fail.
