I have sucessfully installed stock rom, and flashed TWRP. Could I use Supersu here, or do I have to use Magik?

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

When I try to unlock bootloader, the fastboot driver isn't working and fastboot doesn't see phone. It works for installing the rom and twrp, but fastboot doesn't work. Is there a different driver for fastboot commands?
[Android General] heineken78:
try to use fastboot from OST folder

You can use only Magisk here
[Android General] rodpgfx:
Do you mean launch the command prompt from that folder? Or actually RUN (double click) fastboot from that folder?

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

Hey heineken78,

I noticed after starting over that when you install twrp and format data and reboot system, the phone will continue to reboot to download mode unless you unplug the phone from the computer before restarting.
[Android General] heineken78:
Do everyone in Canada has city names?
[Android General] rodpgfx:
Sorry about that heineken78, I was hurrying and only glanced at the name. I have to get the fastboot working before I can install root.
[Android General] rodpgfx:
I am stuck at "Sharp" now and the power button does not work to turn it off.....
[Android General] DiLeON13:
Try Volume up + Power
[Android General] rodpgfx:
the power button does not work. i held it in for over 5 min and nothing. i have to let the phone die and plug it back in to computer. Hopefully that will send it into download mode.....If not I have an expensive paperweight.

Sucks!
[Android General] rodpgfx:
Well I got everything running perfectly! Root and custom recovery on stock rom.

Thanks a lot heineken78 for figuring this out.
[Android General] hlopak:
[MENTION=1611492]heineken78[/MENTION] is there any chance to get Treble on Aquos S3 mini like you did on Aquos S2? Anyway it's so good to have at least custom recovery and ability to install gapps. Thanks!
[Android General] heineken78:
I dont have this device. Yes is possible to have android 8 from s2. To do is camera things.
[Android General] max67516:
hold volume + and power for 10 seconds- reboot, immediately press the volume - and power - bootloader mode.

This is the Unlocking bootloader problem. As an option to reflash according to the instructions, and everything will work.
[Android General] Teramisy:

you can maybe try it while in testmode.

(bcdedit /set testsigning on). Enter that in Admin command prompt and restart.

No way.

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

please i have sharp aquos s3 mini fs8018 but without playstore.how i can install playstore
[Android General] rodpgfx:
When you follow the instructions of the OP and install custom recovery and root, you can then find "Googleinstaller" app here on XDA and install that, or, you can flash gapps for arm64, 7.1
[Android General] issam5734:
dear. i already installed twrp recovery and when i try to install gapps arm64 7.1 pico i have error: failed to install zip file corrupted. please can help me
[Android General] rodpgfx:
You also need root. Install root and reboot phone. Then install "Google installer.apk".

Use this link:. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/xdaforums.com/android/general/google-installer-apk-file-to-install-t3651085/amp/

It says for Miui but will work with any phone.
[Android General] whynot4444:
i think i found a problem

you check your cert by command fastboot oem cert_timecount get

if = 0, it will block partition, you will receive this error, try this
[Android General] narekk:
Hi whynot4444,

I didn't get what should I do if that command is returning CERT_COUNT=0

Hey heineken78,

Can you please advice hot to fix cert_timout issue?

fastboot oem cert_timecount get is giving CERT_count = 0

It fired during flashing cba_dummy.img if I am remember right.
[Android General] rodpgfx:
That link isn't for a zip file. It's a app. Install it when you reboot your phone. Just like you would for any app you download from the playstore
[Android General] issam5734:
No

if i want root the phonzi should install root from recovey. its right so in my case i cant install it from trwp recovery. Please what i can do ?. Thanks
[Android General] rodpgfx:
Issam, you are downloading the root file from this thread and it will not install in twrp? What sort of error does it say?

You are installing this zip file?
[Android General] narekk:
The last message from tool is: Flashing partition "cda_a" (cda_dummy.img)...

[Android General] issam5734:
yes I already downloaded this zip but when I try to install this file from twrp I always have error zip file corrupt. please can explain me how to install it. thanks
[Android General] rodpgfx:
Sorry bud, I'm not sure I can help you any further. It worked easily for me. I installed TWRP and installed this file fine. Maybe reboot normally, install Magisk Manager apk and try to install it from there. If it don't work from the app, reboot to recovery again and install it from /sdcard/MagiskManager folder. It should be downloaded to that location.
[Android General] 1immortal:

[Android General] rodpgfx:
You want to add a language to TWRP? I'm not sure, isn't there a language setting in the settings for it?

[Android General] rodpgfx:
The only way i can get it to go to recovery is from phone adb.
[Android General] heineken78:
no!

Phone should be connected via USB to PC(or charger)

While powering on or rebooting keep pressing 4-5 sec vol up +power for recovery

or vol down + power for fastboot.

How to Unbrick S3 Mini?

Hello!

My phone is stuck on Sharp logo screen every time its turned on. Neither volume and power buttons send it to download mode. The phone is currently opened up to access the battery. Can any one help me determine if the phone is stuck in brick mode 9008 and how to use Emergency download mode in this state?

I have tried to disconnect the battery already with no changes. Any help is appreciated.
[Android General] christian.riosbaca:
My case is kinda the same! I purchased with the "playstore option" by joybuy, and came with the rom 1270, however I have tried to install playstore through their steps, the playstore do not even access to the account verification, so I have tried to install the twrp with OST for installing the gapps but OST do not recognize my device when is in fastboot mode. Hope guys you can help me!
[Android General] kmmarat:
Finally I`v found the solution.

I`v got Sharp Aquos S3 mini FS8018 with bootloop.

OST gave me an error 0xC6DA when flashing 1270 ROM or TWRP recovery.

Fastboot oem unlock command gave me an error, like not allowed.

Flashing from EDL didn`t help.

Fastboot oem cert_timecount get returned me 0.

Thanks to this post post I`v unbricked that device.

1. Just boot into EDL mode(I`v used short-circuit Data+ to the ground in wall-charger usb, something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFeNSj3ngXY&feature=youtu.be

2. Use the adopted to S3 mini files rfom here( adopted files) to modify deviceinfo.img exactly the same as here.

3. Reboot the device to download mode (fastboot).

4. Now you can feel free to unlock bootloader or flash normaly using OST :).
[Android General] christian.riosbaca:
Hello kmmarat,

I dont follow you in the step 2, how the qpst_personal_S3 file will help me to modify deviceinfo.img, where do I find those deviceinfo.img archive? Sorry if my question are too basic, I am just trying to install playstore in my device, and use it... thanks in advance brah! Cheers
[Android General] kmmarat:
That post is only for these people, who can`t unbrick their devices.

To install google play use this instruction. Maby you have to unlock your device and install TWRP recovery first(use the instructions from the first post of this topic).

[Android General] christian.riosbaca:
Hello itouchmypot,

I have been able to install the TWRP but for installing open Gapps I need to unlock, the problem is that in Windows Powershell, when I put the command fastboot oem unlock show me "waiting for device".

Apparently, in Windows 10 is little bit more difficult, any hint?
[Android General] itouchmypot:
I am on windows 10 and I only used cmd to put in commands. Can you try to use cmd instead and see if that would work?

is usb debugging on? can you list device with command lines before booting into download mode?

did you do these steps before putting in "fastbook oem unlock"

I. follow instructions on the video to install drivers

II. ensure usb debugger is turned on

III. with the pc, in the search bar just type in cmd and press enter, you will be greeted with a command screen.

IV. put in the following commands

cd C:\Android\SUT

adb devices -(once you put that in, your phone will prompt to ask if you would allow it, check never show again and click yes on the phone)

adb devices -(if successful, you will get the a device listed after the command line)

adb reboot bootloader -(the phone will reboot and put itself into download mode)
[Android General] sayara123:
hello.

thank for the tuto it work good for me. i came here to give feed back :)

i Use this phone in france it work good.

Is it possible to make a compatibility with google camera on this phone ?? :confused:
[Android General] todorhristov:
Hello everyone, I need some help.

The phone was flashed, boot loader unlocked, google services installed but not working, so I decided to root the device. Flashed Magisk-v17.1 and installed Magisk Manager. After that the apps that were working so far stooped.

So I uninstalled the manager and ....... voila - the phone cannot start anymore. Loops into TWRP, nothing else.

Any help will be appreciated.

Is there a chance to install a ROM for S2 and if yes -how?
[Android General] christian.riosbaca:
Hello,

I did not need to unlock for installing Open Gapps... After two resets I finally have been able to use playstore, properly. Thank so much itouchmypot, for anyone which need there is a video from a Russian guy who explained in detail how to use install everything "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHpl6FECyps&t=638s".

In my case I have no bug with the camera and with the fingerprint.
[Android General] heineken78:
getting s3 mini for my friend.

wait for android 8 =P
[Android General] pomdave:
Need some help.

I bought two S3 minis for my kids, followed the same steps on both of them, I didn't unlock bootloader as it seemed optional and as far as I can tell the are no custom roms.

On both phones I installed magisk before gapps.

On both phones in TWRP at end of installing magisk there was a red error/warning that I didn't pay enough attention to saying something about partition not ready or something like that.

On one phone magisk manager reports magisk is installed and phone is rooted.

On the other phone magisk manager reports magisk is not installed.

After that, on both phones I successfully installed GApps in TWRP and can see Google apps now (haven't actually logged in with Google account yet but assume they will work)

On the unrooted phone I have tried installing magisk again in TWRP, which seems to install fine, but on next boot phone gets stuck on Sharp logo and I have to hard power off, boot into TWRP, restart system and then it boots fine again.

I did a wipe & format in TWRP then reinstalled magisk but I'm in the same situation.

Any ideas on how I can get root to stick?

Cheers.

And thanks for the guide, most helpful.
[Android General] Noobiekun:
Hi, I'm trying to unbrick it for a friend as I believe she attempted the OP's steps without turning on the USB Debugging mode so currently the phone is stuck on the SHARP loading screen.

I've downloaded everything as per instructions but is currently stuck on step 1 where my computer is not recognising the phone when I type in cmd: adb devices. Is there any other methods moving forward?

I've manually put the phone into download mode but it still is stuck on the loading screen and unable to provide the prompt.

I've tested 'adb devices' with my own phone with usb debugging mode and it works.
[Android General] pomdave:
To try again, I installed stock rom as per step 1.

This worked fine and reset everything.

I then tried b step 2 again and step 5 again

This time I paid attention to the red message, again this didn't worry me too much because I also saw this on my other handset that showed same message but root worked.

I rebooted and again it got stuck at sharp logo, so I repeat step 2 to go into TWRP rebooted and it started up and loads into Android, but again magisk manager reports magisk not install ... No root ?

I don't get it at all ?!?

Update:

Finally: After many many wipes & flashes I finally have root & gApps.

I still don't really understand why on one phone it worked first time, and on an identical phone (well black instead of gold) it was a complete p.i.t.a.

Thanks to heineken78 for the guide and process and itouchmypot for the extra guide.

Flash via TWRP
