now the root is fine

thanks for reply to me, is really the first time in a forum that someone help me lol

maybe you can help me with this: https://xdaforums.com/general/help/ok-loooong-story-save-xperiac4pls-t3701921

this is why i started to root my very old samsung III mini, i wanted to learn more about rooting to be able to do it on a xperia c4 that is more complicated than a samsung smartphone.

any help would be appreciated really..
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Knoose:
Ouf.. xperia devices have a whole other method of rooting. Samsung is quite easy in comparison imho. try the following thread https://xdaforums.com/general/help/help-sony-xperia-c4-e533-5-0-root-t3151855 make sure to read all comments. Good learning experience ;). Having pointed out this thread i can not verify it as i do not own a c4 and it is a bit dated. Use at your own risk. You can also try a more extensive search yourself, people must have had the same question and there must be an answer. Somewhere...

Does anybody know should this TWRP 3.0.2 work with GT-I9070? For some reason I'm not able to make it work... Or does anybody happen to have TWRP 2.8 series recovery available for GT-I9070? I have been using many hours today to try to make this work, but no luck... I have stock 4.1.2 ROM currently and with this old weird device kernel + recovery is somehow bundled as per my understanding.

[EDIT]This actually solved the issue, meaning installing a new kernel and after that update.zip for temporary cwm/root access:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74315559&postcount=816

After that I installed CM13 with TWRP 3.0.2:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s-advance/orig-development/cyanogenmod-13-t3397464

So finally I had new enough TWRP to install 14.1. :)

(it might be possible to skip CM13 install if you only extract the kernel from it or from CM14.1 and flash that before fully trying to install 14.1.)

Unfortunately GT-I9070 does not seem to have enough memory even for Pico Gapps with 14.1 (even everything were erased before the install). I also faced the issue of SIM card not found even it were there... So I decided to install LineageOS 11 at the end which meets the needs and works well:

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] hellomrkearns:
Hi. just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the wrong date (1/1/1970) being attached to photos taken on devices with this OS? I tried Open Camera as well to see if that would fix the issue, but experiencing the same thing.

From what I can tell from the metadata, the Time appears to be correct, but the "Record Time" lists the date/time as 1/01/1970 12:00:00 PM no matter what.

I've seen posts on the Open Camera forums where some other people here with LineageOS on their SIII Mini having a similar issue.

Have you resolved? I have the same model and same error...
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Hi,

Great to see you're back to development!

I can't help much with below issues, but I have to admit that android-3.4-clean branch is not stable enough. In the fact, we've got a stable kernel only thanks to large amount of cherry-picked commits that were lost after cleaning sources up.

As a NULL pointer from the log certainly points that the memory page passed to unlock_page is NULL somehow, I would suggest updating memory management -related files (

https://github.com/ChronoMonochrome...14bb52ad2d7b4eef853a65dfadd3d11+139&path[]=mm

). Yeah, it's quite hacky changes (in the fact I just reset those files to a known good state, unfortunately I don't have a split version for these changes).

Never encountered such a bug, probably related to the VFS (virtual file system) layer (which I've updated among with memory management-related stuff).

P.s. I've got another device, S3, and currently working on kernel update to 3.4 version. Since I'm not very satisfied with the mess introduced in Ace 2 kernel during update to 3.4 and since I've felt that the performance of Ace 2 kernel could be much better (especially in a regard of the memory management), I'm planning to rework 3.4 tree for Ace 2 too. I've changed the approach of updating to a higher kernel versions, instead of rebasing everything to an unstable 3.4 tree, I'm just merging all the changes (3.1-3.4) to the cleaned LK 3.0 tree. In the previous year I've wrote some short guide on how to upgrade the kernel, so if you're interested, I'll leave the link https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72220732&postcount=2 . Currently I'm following this guide in S3 kernel updating (with only the difference that I started to work with 3.0 tree as a base).

Wow :) got a i8190 today to play around with and found a very recent lineageOS 15.1 on the linked AFH account from OP... just to let everyone know, weird enough that no one is discussing it...

That's a really nice surprise, that ugly TouchWiz JellyBean cannot stay on my device, so: Hello lineageOS! and of course thanks for updating this old beast!

Edit: oh ahhrff :rolleyes: careful everyone, the LineageOS 15.1 build from 31st October seems totally broken, can't install apps from unknown sources, have no Wi-Fi and the keyboard force closes... so I basically can't do anything else but flashing back to lineageOS 14.1 - not sure where to start with logs but I'm happy to follow suggestions... On the bright side the build does boot and delivers a basic functionality, not quite daily driver material yet but it's a start after all!

Edit: went back booting TWRP, however my internal storage is gone...

This first Oreo build is a adventure :laugh: thanks anyway!

Hope to see more someday!

Yes I particularly enjoyed Lineage OS 15.1 because it doesn't have any apps or an operating system on it and things like that and so forth. I will try to install it using TWRP 3.0 soon so maybe it will work even better.

Alternatively someone could post a link to something that passes a verification test and works and things such like that and so forth because yet again many people here seem still having a lovely time with their fully rooted and customised Samsung Galaxy 3 Mini.

Hi,

I m really sorry to ask this newbie's question...maybe because i am !

How do you load this "rom" using orin.

Because i didnt find any .tar, md5 or .smd file mendatory to mount this rom to the software.

The device is connected to orin and in the right download mode but i am stuck at this level.

Do i need another sofware or download ?

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] spirit_of_the_ocean:
You have to use a recovery

Hello!

I assume that the installation is similar to CM 13.

1. You must install a recovery like CWM or TWRP.

Please use the latest version since old versions could be a problem (at least I had when using a 2.6.3 version)

When you have a recovery make a backup. This is important because using an alpha version means always the risk of a bootloop

2. Go into the recovery and go to install and go to the path where the zip is.

Make a wipe to install.

I also read anywhere that it is possible to create/extract the img from the zip.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] piralio:
Thanks for your answer.

I found CWM and TWRP but both are for rooted android device and mine is not and i don't know how to do that.

in fact, i m looking for, if avaible, a computeur sofware linked by usb to the device to do the same job.

Any idear or link ?

thanks again

have a good day

Answer

Hello again,

some advice for you:

I used kingoroot but there are different methods.

Often it is useful to search YouTube because there are many tutorials how to root a phone. You should search for the exact version of your phone.

You should be aware that CM 14 is in Alpha state which means the rom is not stable, has bugs and features which don't work correctly.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] dzeig:
you don't have to root your phone in the first place.

in fact you can install twrp/cwm over stock recovery or stock firmware.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] piralio:
hi,

I used Kingroot and i rooted my phone. i used the android version because the pc version didnt do the job.

i installed twrp (last android version) but i m unable to back up or install a new rom with it.

Still digging to find a way...

many thanks for all your kindly advices

BR

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] spirit_of_the_ocean:
Hey there,

have a look at here:

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/

If TWRP is installed you can go into recovery mode (turn off your phone, press volume up+home button and power at the same time). TWRP should start and the click install.

If your phone is rooted you can use TWRP Manager to install the rom.

This is not my first time. The phone was fully charged and I waited until the battery was drained. Was that long enough?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] 3liteking148:
I never heard of this strange issue so:

1. While stuck in logo (don't turn the phone off), press the 3 button combo until the device reboots to recovery.

2. Go to terminal command then type "cp /proc/last_kmsg /sdcard/last_kmsg" then upload the file here so I can take a look of the kernel log.

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] 3liteking148:
Im glad that you've solved the problem :). What recovery are you now using? So i I can put it on the first page.

There aren't any custom kernels yet for Marshmallow or Nougat. But if you really want overclocking and other stuff, you can try F_Kernel 5.x roms (you may have to edit the updater-script though) or any other kernel for lollipop with SELinux Permissive.

Aren't you being a bit harsh? Andi was for a very very long time active in S3 Mini forums and did great things. Does he have to provide lifetime-support? Don't forget that this device is over 4 years old and people don't buy only one phone and use it for the rest of their life...

LineageOS now available for S3 Mini

Was planning to upload this yesterday but I didn't have enough time. Also i'm sorry for not updating CM13, it's because surfaceflinger is now segfaulting for unknown reasons (too many possible reasons) and anyone wants to help me, here's a tombstone (from non booting RR build).

Did major edits on the patchsets. So some things that worked on the last build might not work (but I saw none). There's no boot animation(Lineage doesn't have one yet) and I need someone to test GPS (forward-ported the patch).

It's very smooth and after hours I didn't have random reboots (on charge). Camera takes good photos and videos but it crashing sometimes so it just need to closed camera app and reopen app some times. Flashlight shortcut isn't working always but I would give it a try. Make backup and test it for you with sim card, battery drain etc. It's lineage but there stands cyanogenmod so don't be irritated. Very good Rom!
