Recently, I've gotten an s3 mini (which I am using right now), and after flashing a few (dozen) roms, I want to go to stock, compete stock.

But there's a problem, I've scoured through the internet, and can't find a link to the ROM for my specific model. All the roms I find are for Germany, Russia, Poland, etc. But I'm 100% sure that this phone is from AMERICA. At&t specifically.

If someone, anyone, could find a tar for me, I'd be very grateful.

My phone is a i8190n, and I'm on 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
Here you go. It doesn't matter where you got your phone from. You can flash any firmware made for another country. You'll still be able to change language so no point in searching for the exact firmware with which your phone came. Just flash the latest one from the link I gave you and you will be fine. Also the latest one isn't always on top so look at the build dates on the right :) (ANI1 is the latest for your model)!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ChildOTK:
Hi all,

I have been trying to check out the forum here, to try and solve my problem, I literally bought my JASJAR today, and it was giving some wierd behaviour. In an attempt to reload the software (I prefere to reload the entire ROM), something went wrong, now all thats on my screen is "USB" and a lil lower down "v1.01".

ActiveSync obviously not connecting now bcos the OS is not on the JASJAR no more, in my device manager is a "Microsoft USB Sync" under my mobile devices.

I downloaded what I am guessing is WM6, 'JASJAR_WWE_20106_20301_11300_wwe_ship' from another thread in this forum, tried to load that but cant communicate with device cos no activesync.

I have tried the different reset options, like the 2 function keys and the reset on the back, I push 0 to clear, and then it jus goes back to the USB v1.01 thing.

I am running windows vista home basic, with the Windows Mobile Device Center, it synced perfectly with this software, communicated properly with the update tool, until my device reset and activsync lost connection, then i was stuffed.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] richardlai:
Sounds like it is your first time with the upgrade. What you are seeing on the screen is the bootloader, which is what we use for flashing new ROMs.

ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (how come you have both on Vista?) will therefore not respond. This is fine, because we use a different program to load the new ROMs.

If you look at the folder you downloaded, chances are that there should be a program called "ROMUpgradeUt" or something similar. Provided that you have not changed anything in the folder, you should be able to flash the new ROM by simply following the instructions in the program.

You can also read this link for more information: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ChildOTK:
Ok, well I have got it up and running again, only problem now is activsync keeps freezing when I try and sync the device...any ideas?

I landed up using my work computer, which has XP on it, and then used MTTY and that connected fine, on Vista it simply didnt wanna work.

I ran the utility for those 'stuck on serial/usb', and that fixed it. Now I would like to load up WM6, but it keeps getting communication failures.

Do you want to change the carrier or just change the name of your current carrier

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

Try this app https://www.dropbox.com/s/6cph9kli9x73tek/Carrier_Name_1.2.apk?dl=0 after downloading install it, if you downloaded on pc just put it onto your phone via usb cable, after its done installing open it and you can change the carrier name on there, after changing the name reboot your device and the name will be changed. Don’t use any special characters because it will be used in an xml file so for example a double quote sign will break the file. GL :thumbup::thumbup:

[General Questions and Answers] remydakid:
Not working on rooted nexus 6
[General Questions and Answers] Sk4lex:
Try this:

1)Install a file manager and access the root folder

2)Then perform a search in the root folder for “build.prop” or check in the system folder in the root folder for it

3)enable read/write if not already enabled then edit the file in a text editor

4)scroll until you find the option you want and edit it by typing the new carrier name in the old one's place

5)save changes and reboot device

Accessing and modifying build.prop can be dangerous if you change the wrong setting so make a backup of the old version just in case.

Sometimes there is more than two of the same item in the file so if you find it and have changed it look again for more to change.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .Spawn:
Well hello, I'm kinda new to Xperia Modding and I'm trying to install a custom rom on my phone.. I just have some questions first:

1. Is there any custom rom that allows me to send apps and else to my external SD Card?

2. My phone can't unlock the bootloader since I checked that and it says it can't.. can I still install roms that way?

3. I'm trying or I want to install the Evo9 Custom Rom .. and my phone specs are the following:

Model: C6943

Android Version 4.4.4

Baseband Version 8974-AAAAANAZQ-10270054-51

Core Version: 3.4.0-perf-g0109737

Compilation Number: 14.4.A.0.108

What do I exactly have to do in order to install that custom ROM on my phone? since the tutorial for lockedbootloader phones is really confusing..

What's 761 exactly? that number doens't say anything to me actually ._.

and the "flash by flashtool the good kernel" isnt' making sense to me since I assume I'm ignorant.. please could someone explain those things to me?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurokHunter47:
1. Yes

2. Yes but only stock based roms

[Sprint LG G3] qstarin:
I have a U.S. Sprint LG G3 I'm trying to load custom animations on and it's giving me a heck of a time accomplishing that..

I'm trying to copy a bootanimation.zip into /carrier/cust/poweron (and a shutdownanimation.zip into /carrier/cust/poweroff) and ES File Explorer is telling me the copy task failed, with no further information.

I used stump root to root, have SU installed. ES file has root explorer enabled, rights have been granted. etc.

I can copy smaller files into those directories just fine, but over a certain size they fail. The percentage that the copy fails at amounts to the same amount of MB (that is, a 100MB file might stop at 17.5%, and a 50MB file will stop at 35% - both at what would be 17.5MB).

I can copy larger files other places, like /system/media. No problem there. I have like 20 GB of internal storage free. And worse, I was copying the same dang file into the same folder just fine earlier in the day. If I don't place another copy of the bootanimation.zip file in this folder, I get nothing but a black screen after the LG splash during boot (side note, wtf is the deal with needing 3 copies of the same bootanimation.zip or it won't work.. why on earth would it work like that).

No friggin clue why it constantly gives me a copy task failed message now. Any ideas?
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
Not sure why the copy won't work, but those directories aren't where you want to put your custom boot animations anyway. What you need to do is delete or rename the animations in those folders, and then copy your custom ones into system/media. Here's a more detailed explanation:

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/themes-apps/stock-boot-animations-guide-t2881117

I gave up on ES File Explorer a couple of versions ago, finding it a bit confusing and unreliable. Give FX a try:

[Sprint LG G3] qstarin:
You are right, playing with it some more I do not appear to need the /carrier/cust folders. My head was swimming with how many times I tried putting zips in place and rebooting yesterday.

I wonder what the problem could be, then. I have no issues getting animations I downloaded from here to work. I was also able to use this site someone made to turn the vertical octopus gif from that thread into a working boot animation.

But when I try to put together an animation from this gif, I've had no success.

I've tried splitting the frames out with both Irfanview & ImageMagick. Then resizing from 480x480 to both 960x960 and 1440x1440 - then expanding the canvas to 1440x2560 and filling the new background in with black. Again, I've performed these manipulations with both IrfanView & ImageMagick.

I've tried jpg's and png's with varying levels of image compression as well as both 24 and 32 bit png's.

In the desc.txt file I've tried 30, 45, and 60 frames per second. For the part line I've tried:

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part0

c 1 0 part0

p 1 0 part0 (repeat this line x10)

And the zip I create uses Store compression (no compression), created with WinRAR.

I've tried connecting with adb and running the bootanimation command. When I have a working boot animation that I've downloaded, the command echos the string bootanimation at the prompt, and my phone screen flashes black for a split second. When I try the command with my custom animation in place, nothing is echoed at the prompt - no error messages or anything - and nothing happens on the phone.

I always get just a black screen on boot or shutdown trying my zip. Perhaps it's some issue with the images and the way I'm creating them.. or maybe I'm missing something simple. I put a few variations I've tried up in a dropbox folder if anyone cares to look and help.
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
I may have time to play around with this later in the week and see if I can get anything working. In the mean time, here's a different thread on converting GIFs to boot animaions. Maybe something here will work for you:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559670
[Sprint LG G3] qstarin:
I've been hesitant to try an app, the boot animation installers have a lot of iffy reviews, and I've read ROM Toolbox is buggy on the G3 too. I haven't unlocked the bootloader and gone through flashing the stock rom yet on this device so I'm not quite ready to potentially soft-brick the phone.

I'm also a software developer by trade, and constructing and manually installing a boot animation is well within my comfort zone. I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

The command I was using to split the gif with ImageMagick is

convert -coalesce b.gif -resize 300% -background black -gravity center -extent 1440x2560 -units PixelsPerInch -density 96 frames/b%03d.png

I did notice that if I leave out the canvas expansion I end up with a 8bpp palette -ized png, which has considerably smaller file size. I didn't figure out how to get the expanded png's in that format yet because I wasn't sure if it would even work for the boot animation.
[Sprint LG G3] qstarin:
Well I put TWRP and BarRin ZV6 on it now so I'll have to try give ROM Toolbox a shot.
[Sprint LG G3] qstarin:
So here's where I'm at - this is the bootanimation.zip - and I can't see what I'm doing wrong. I split the gif and then resize the png's, in separate steps because if I combine them I get weird artifacts in the images.

convert -coalesce b.gif frames/%03d.png
convert frames/*.png -resize 250% -background "#000000" -gravity center -extent 1440x2560 png24:part0/%03d.png

desc.txt (saved in utf-8 without BOM, line endings are {CR}{LF} - working boot animations I've downloaded use this line ending)

1440 2560 30
p 1 0 part0

Zipped with store, permissions set, nothing in the zip besides the desc.txt and part0/*.png. Black screen. I don't know what else to try; I've tried every variation I can think of.

This is frustrating. Every animation I try from this G3 thread of them works fine. I can unzip them and edit the desc.txt (change frame rate), rezip them, and they work fine. So I don't think I'm doing anything wrong with the desc.txt file (syntax or encoding) or while creating the zip.

I've taken some others, like the code one in 1080x1920 from this thread, and have no luck. I've tried installing it as-is, changing only the resolution in the desc.txt file, and resizing the images as well as changing the res in desc.txt. Always a black screen.

I mentioned an octopus gif before, and was able to get a working 1440x2560 boot animation using this site: http://gif2boot.ifc0nfig.com/ But it has a 3MB upload limit. I took the working boot animation generated from there and unzipped it, cut the png's down then doubled their size back to 1440x2560, zipped it back up and that didn't work either.

convert orig/*.png -gravity center -extent 720x1280 -resize 1440x2560 part0/X%05d.png

I also tried just converting them from 32 bit (originals, which work) to 24 bit (which is recommended) PNG's. Black screen. Tried converting to jpg's, no dice.

So I'm thinking nothing I touch with ImageMagick works, but I took the Gold Cross Bones from here and swapped black for white. That actually worked. So did converting it to 24bit PNG's. I'm so lost.
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
It didnt work because you need a good root browser (not es file us like root browser)
[Sprint LG G3] qstarin:
I've gone into a terminal on the phone and verified the permissions are correct and the file size exactly matches (haven't compared a hash though). Also, the same zips always work, and the same ones always don't. It's got nothing to do with the file explorer imho.
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
Ok well it could just be that the zips are bad or your not placing it in the correct spot (like a folder) try changing your rom
[Sprint LG G3] qstarin:
The zips open fine and I can extract individual files onto the phone, which I have no problem viewing in the gallery. Other animations I put in place work so I am getting it in the right folder, and the rom shouldn't really matter but I've tried this on the stock rom and BarRin ZV6.
[Sprint LG G3] seanskiT!:
Are you trying to extract the images for your boot animations on your phone? Or are you trying to make you own bootanimation.zip?
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
This might sound a little stupid but maybe the phone just dosent like thoses. Or you may have done it in a way that the hardware/software may block it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Zyxxeil:
I made this theme specifically for my ROM Elix-R but decided why not share it with everyone to enjoy. This is based off stock so you can

flash it on any ROM that is Stock based but you are more than certain to try it on other ROM but be warned that a bootloop is highly likely.

For the most part I have removed the ugly teal in the System so that it looks alot cleaner and more elegant. It also gives it an awesome subtle

minimal look. Hope you guys enjoy.
