[MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] - Great to see this and the Carbon posts links updated. Awesome man. Thank you!! I've been running your roms for years, wish I could splurge on a better phone.. but I can't.. and that's another story, but thanks to your hard works this cheap little t599n has treated me pretty decent.

Was really sorry to hear about your laptop being stolen and to see your site go down. Hope you managed to get yourself an even better one now!

Anyway.. Just wondering if this means you might start working on ROMs again too by any chance?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] PalmCentro:
We missed you :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
I did, finally, get a new laptop but alas, I no longer have my T599N. If anyone feels they have the skills to take over, I can help someone get started.. ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] su6ur6an:
I actually do have a second t599n around somewhere.. If I can find it I'd be willing to donate it to the cause. Totally understand if you'd rather give up on this one and focus on other things though.

I might try to compile what you've got up on gitgub, but I'm not very confident I can contribute anything valuable to the project.. assuming I can even get it built and flashed.

Anyway.. if I remember right video and a couple other things were still broken in CM12 for this phone? Hoping maybe you could put the bug/compatability notes of the latest build up on this thread?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] H4ck3rz:
Could you help me, when I use any screen recorder chromecast appears in notifications and then my phone freezes
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Afaik, Video recording does not work, apps2sd does not work and screen recording does not work.

If you are serious about donating a phone, I am certainly willing to keep developing for this device.

PM me and we can work out the details ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] redwanzaman:
I dont know why but when im flashing that rom (zip file) with twrp, that saying failed every time...please help me..:/ my one is T599N Metro PCS
[Galaxy S III Mini General] su6ur6an:
Confirming it does flash.

I just wiped everything (advanced wipe -> dalvik, system, cache, data, internal storage) with 'meticulus TWRP v2.8.0.0' before installing 'cm-12.1-20150731-METICULUS-codinalte.zip' and 'gapps-5.1-2015-04-20-15-56-24.zip' (smallest lp gapps from second link). I then wiped cache/dalvik again and rebooted to the system. No problems flashing or booting and I am running the rom now, using it to Bluetooth tether internet to my tablet.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] AtomicNat:
Do you have/know of any resources to get someone (with no experience whatsoever) started with ROM development? Any advice or keywords would be great! Thank you! :)

But If I try Its saying some error...I did the same process...can you give me your twrp 2.8 file...please upload that on mediafire or dropbox... and please tell me the whole process of installation step by step if you can....I'll be so much happy if you help me in this. ...:)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] su6ur6an:
This is what I have for recoveries, not sure the difference between the two twrp's but they have different sizes so I put up both.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8qLawg0zoTRTUcyRmgtU292cVk#list

Should be flashable with odin from a PC. I have also extracted the recovery.img to external storage and used terminal emulator to flash recovery from the (rooted) phone like this:

su

dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

*Disclaimer: Not totally sure where I got any of those, and I didn't flash each of them before uploading.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
There is a new baseband that did not exist when I created these ROMs. If you have that new baseband, installation will fail. There is no way to know if these ROMs will work with the new baseband. If you want to take the risk you must modify the blobinstaller.sh in the installation zip.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] redwanzaman:
okay I modified the file by my own...now the error is:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] su6ur6an:
Can a baseband be pulled/flashed/downgraded? I have T599NUVAMD4
[Galaxy S III Mini General] redwanzaman:
can you develop for this new baseband????

Encryption Problem

Has anyone had problems encrypting?

When I try to encrypt it just does a soft reboot.

When I did a factory wipe and then tried to encrypt, it went into a bootloop of the TWRP 2.8 recovery splashscreen and could only be put into download mode.

If this same issue happens to you, I fixed it with t599_wipe.zip in the [INDEX][SGH-T599x][FIRMWARE] thread.

I tried erasing every partition, reflashing recovery and this rom, but it will not encrypt for me.

Any input is appreciated.

Please Help me

Hey brother entered the link and Android file host says "no files in this folder" ... Help me please !!! I need to have Lollipop :(

Check the OP, the link has been updated.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Tony Ronaldo Matute:
I went back inside and tells me that no files in the folder :(
[Galaxy S III Mini General] JoeGamer13:
can any of you guys please give me the PIT file of the sgh-t599? I have been looking for it but the links are not working and I would appreciate it if someone can give me the PIT file. Thanks!

[Galaxy S III Mini General] PalmCentro:
[MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] Was happy to see this post!

Although i don't play around too much anymore with this toy....
[Galaxy S III Mini General] JoeGamer13:
Thanks Meticulus!!

actually I get this everytime I try to use odin:

<ID:0/012> Odin v.3 engine (ID:12)..

<ID:0/012> File analysis..

<ID:0/012> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/012> Initialzation..

<ID:0/012> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/012> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

<ID:0/012> FAIL!

<ID:0/012>

<ID:0/012> Re-Partition operation failed.

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

I have tried rebooting pc, change drivers, make sure re-partition is checked. any guess on how to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Unfortunately, Odin is not very specific when it comes to "why" it failed. Personally, I NEVER use pit files EVER. There is not reason that you should ever need to repartition your internal memory. Trying to help someone fix partition issues is what borked my last T599N so I am unwilling to experiment with this issue. In order to "partially" fix it. I had a fellow dev create a dump of the entire /dev/block/mmcblk0 and I used dd from recovery to overwrite the entire disk. However, this wrote some of his devices specific values to mine ( ie, serial number etc ) which are used in validating imei. At any rate this caused the device to not be able to be used as a phone anymore but did allow everything else to work. I created that pit file with heimdall, so maybe you might try using heimdall to flash the pit file back.

NOTE: Trying to flash a PIT file after your partitions get borked is useless. The pit file resides on a partition and if the partitions are borked Odin can not put the pit file on the right partition, then read it from the partition to perform the repartition. :confused: I know this is confusing but It is correct as read.

Your only hope is if you can get to recovery, or flash a recovery and get to recovery. From there you may be able to reconstruct the partition table...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] JoeGamer13:
Thanks for the response Meticulus! it seems that my t599N is on a grave already... I am not able to get to recovery, which I come to the conclusion that the partitions are broken and I cant do anything...

NOTE: don't try to use swapper2 with the sgh t599 for getting more ram. that is what caused my phone to have broken partitions :(
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Since you have nothing to loose, I would try to use heimdall to flash a recovery. I would also try to flash a recovery as a kernel. I believe* that the bootloader does not use partition info to load the kernel. I think* it uses a static address to load it and Download mode might use that address, and not the partition information. Flashing a recovery as a kernel will not harm anything. Your device will just boot right into recovery and you can go from there... On a different Samsung device, I was able to do just that.... :rolleyes:

flashing now

flashing now to test and send ril log

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

well i got it flashed but my keyboard was missing (because i dont have it set as a system app is my guess) and so i wasnt able to do the log file. But when I made a call to my voicemail it called but couldnt hear anything and when I switched to just data not wifi it wouldnt open any web pages. It did however receive text messages, but i was connectede to wifi then too. I will switch the keyboard back over to system app and make sure its on the phone memory not the sd card and try again later. Maybe then I can send you the log file you want
[Galaxy S III Mini General] kireflow90:
here is the report
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Nope, you did the log wrong.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] kireflow90:
i wonder what i did wrong. I typed it just like you had it in your one post
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Sorry the post had a copy and paste derp in it. I had "logcat" twice instead of just once. Post corrected. :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] kireflow90:
I tried running it again the corrected way but it keeps saying no device found when i type adb shell, sorry
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
[MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] Here's a ril log. time to go back to carbon til the next test ya need

[MENTION=6215210]kireflow90[/MENTION] it's because you don't have the adb drivers installed for the phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] kireflow90:
[MENTION=2670928]TripFX[/MENTION] thanks for the explination lol
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
NEW BUILD!

OK, I got the OMX Codecs working so things like Youtube, Twitch and Crackle are now working and we think we have Data on the RIL working but we need confirmation on that.

Thanks to [MENTION=5473651]golden-guy[/MENTION] for fixing data on the RIL! :highfive:

:victory:

New Build Posted!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Relyt2012:
everything i tried works expt

everything like RIL, voice, sms, works execpt i didnt try camera. and the voice for calling isnt working other than that so far so good:) so hi five:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
any specific logs you are looking for in this build?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Yes! Thanks for asking! ;) I could use some logs during call attempts both, regular logcats and radio logcats... :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] nc_blackout:
Its a really good ROM its smooth just some lag at boot but other than that it good and easy to flash to those who know how to and those who don't and I'm glad ur building cm12 for sgh-t599 because your the only one really developing it and make it for t599 good job bro and keep it up if I can help I would but I don't know how to get ril logs and would like a link for lastest build
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
i'll get to around to the the logs some time today and have them up by this evening. yes data works now. gapps (speech to text) fc's but that's to be expected being both rom and gapps are in alpha. camera works front and back. video (camcorder) does not work it just shows a green background only but does play audio from video. i will make a more extensive list and try to get logs for everything that i can.

UPDATE: added logs hope they are the correct ones you wanted. if not let me know the correct cmds
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
I need a regular logcat too... Same instructions just subtract "-b radio"

Need one just after call attempt....?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
restoring cm12 backup now to get the log have it posted asap.

update logcat right after call attempt had to split it in 2 due to file size limitation
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mjc1697:
I see a new build posted on Meticulus's site :D can't wait for him to post the description here!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
No change really, I just did a clean build to make sure I had my build environment clean and that I had all my patches organized. I did add a patch to fix an issue with VOIP ( Hangouts ) and a patch to fix a crash when booting with WIFI off ( happens on screen off ).
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mjc1697:
Aw man. I was really hoping that voice calls were fixed.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mjc1697:
But continue to keep up the great work. It's much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
please dont post under your own post to get your posts up. please use the edit feature instead
[Galaxy S III Mini General] codyedmonson:
Once the voice calling gets fixed, would this be considered a stable daily driver or would it still be in beta testing? Just wondering, I'm pretty pumped for lollipop!

Sent from my SGH-T599N running on carbon.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Nevermind

EDIT: OK, Hang on, It's working again... ;) I swear it was crazy. I could not unlock the phone. I rebooted to TWRP. I could not touch any of the buttons. I booted normally and still could not unlock the phone....
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
as always any specific logs you want in this build
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
If voice call is not working then just a regular logcat during call. Thanks man.. ;)

EDIT: [MENTION=2670928]TripFX[/MENTION] , You might try using something like http://pastebin.com instead of upload directly here... That way you don't have to split the log if it's long...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
i did get a chance to do a quick test for voice calling. it does actually call in this build however you can't hear the other person speak. i had to revert back to carbon before i was able to pull logs. i will try to get the logs tomorrow "hopefully".

Update: [MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] will have log up this evening for sure and will use pastebin sorry for the delay

Update-2: [MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] heres the log no audio either way but stays connected until you hang up or they do. Also just a general question but do you mind making some of the oc kernels work for our phones like for you carbon rom or even this one? If not that's fine im sure either A) Someone else will come in and make it or B) i get enough skill to do it my self.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
EDIT: [MENTION=5460439]codyedmonson[/MENTION] sorry musta overlooked your post. To be honest initial install and first boot is a little slugish otherwise from what i have tested it's pretty stable not sure on gaming yet aside from previous rom issues that i've mentioned in previous post. no audio and video recording.

It would be awesome if others would help report bugs via logcats. Being that you dont have to switch to a different recovery if your using carbon or vanir as you daily rom. just make a backup then do the necessary wipes as normal for flashing a new rom. then you can easily just test, logcat (if bugs found). reboot, wipe, restore your rom. it's super simple. Note you can even backup the test builds if you don't have enough to test everything out so you can swap back to it just as easy and less time waiting for initial boot.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Relyt2012:
So how is everyone, any new updates coming our way:D cant beleive that meticulus has breathed life again into this phone:good:

i just found somthing out the phone not working with no audio might be caused by google play services ( the check in one) there is some way to disable it but i havent tried it just thought id let yall know.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] epicboy:
So what's not working in this rom? Also is it faster and smoother than kitkat? Does it take more space than kitkat?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
NEW BUILD!

SELinux: Enforcing

User build type ( was eng )

Dev Note: I'm going to need logs for voice calls on all builds until it's fixed. Help me help you. I have other devices to work on as well. If you guys can't get me logs quickly. I perfectly content to work on those devices... :laugh:

Regular log:

- logcat -d > /sdcard/log.txt

RIL log

- logcat -d -b radio > /sdcard/ril_log.txt

SePolicy log

location: /data/misc/audit/audit.log
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
pastebin wouldn't take due to size limit. 512kb is max for free users but i included both log and ril so i had to zip it. wifi is broken (authentication errors) not sure why as i know the password and havent changed it and still works fine with carbon, calls still do the same as previous build you can call but can't hear from either side does not matter if speaker phone is on or off or both on or both off. Also cell data seems to not work properly i can login to playstore but can't download anything. the playstore thing is prolly unrelated as i did use the latest pa 5.0 12/25 build and good just be gapps related. web works fine. let me if if there is anything else you want tested.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Thanks man, I appreciate your posting logs. Perhaps next time, I'll just email you a link instead of posting publicly... Wifi should not be broken. I am using wifi and it's fine... Can you get me the sepolicy log? Just a copy of the file /data/misc/audit/audit.log .
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
Np your doing the hardwork. yeah couldn't get it the first time because i had no way to pull that log as the only way i knew off hand was to use a file manger like es. Im sure theres a way to pull it via cmd but was rushing don't have time at this exact moment to google it but i will have more free time this evening and will try with older gapps build in case the latest bugged. As far as emailing link i really dont ever check my email that often. PM's will work or i could just set ftp up im on a 50/10Mbps connection at home.

Update: [MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] heres the sepolicy log. So after doing some more testing trying different pa 5.0builds including build dates. changing router wifi settings and so forth wifi will not connect to any router. tried more than one. Right after typing password and clicking ok for it to connect it goes to just showing it saved. click on it to connect and bam back to saved instantly. tried doing a reboot and another dav wipe and only when turning wifi off and on in settings does it say authentication problem. Reverted back to your 12-14 build and bam works instantly. so yeah thats what i know atm.

Aside note noticed twrp 2.8.3.0 looks nice least from release notes.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Steel Titanium:
There is a bug with the new build. trying to see the phone status gives me a black screen for a second then I get send back to about phone page, then I lose service for a second after that. Touching cellular networks does nothing then I lose service for a second also. Here is a zip file containing the logs.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
NEW BUILD!

Fixed GPS

Tweaked Sepolicy...

Need logs like ususal...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
I'll test in a bit as it will also give me a chance to test my mini project. Give me about hour or 2 to get ya logs for the newest build.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Thanks man, just FYI, I noticed that a "soft reboot" fixes the external sdcard... But I have no idea why it fixes it...:confused:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
Im just waiting til wife gets home with food then i will be able to test new build out as i use her phone to test the calling as hers is still stock rom same phone thou. she just likes stock. as far as the ext sd would the new twrp which has implemented lolipop changes help fix that or is it completely rom sided only do you think? ill take a look over your source after i eat as well.

UPDATE: SElog (newest), SElog (.old), logcat and RIL

Additional notes. there was both audit/selogs in the folder 1 .txt and 1 .old so uploaded both. Calls remain the same no audio either way. sms and mms works. wifi works. data works. playing summoners arena works which is an online 3d game so that cool. and my mini project for the most part works easy fix thou.. xD Still going over your source atm.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Bastiary:
[MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] just for info agontuk from xperia U finally able to fix audio in call:D
[Galaxy S III Mini General] JoeGamer13:
Hi [MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] i made here a logcat. I first did a soft reboot on the phone so that the external sdcard can work like you said in a previous post. Then i went and unmounted the sdcard and mounted it again with no problem. then i went to move an app to the sdcard and it said: Couldn't move app. Not enough storage space. Actually my extSD has more than 3 gigs so thats not a problem for me. I hope this helped you and keep up the good work!! :victory:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TripFX:
you only added one log. do you mind uploading ril and sepolicy logs as well?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] JoeGamer13:
Ohh ok [MENTION=2670928]TripFX[/MENTION] here you have :) actually for the RIL logs i dont have a plan with my phone so there is no phone or data service. but i hope this works :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Relyt2012:
Meticulus i just want to say thank you for all the hard work you have done in getting this rom this far. Here is a link that migh help a little maybe talk with that dev for some insight into voice calls. http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/u-development/rom-android-source-project-5-0-xperia-t2933194/page18

I cant wait to use this rom as a daily driver. again thanks and also Bastiary said that xperia u had it working so if it helped thank him to.:D
